New Bluetti AC200L vs AC200Max Is it an upgrade?

very detailed review thank you

The AC200L does not support (obviously) the D050S Battery Charging Enhancer. With the D050S and a second power brick, the AC200 Max can take a 1000W AC charge. Still not as fast at AC charging as the 200L, but that narrows the charging gap. Second, with the D050s, the 200 Max can garner PV charging from two separate solar panel arrays. For instance, one solar array may be panels on the roof of an RV, while the second array may be portable panels like the Bluetti PV200. To the MAX, it doesn't matter what the solar panel configuration is for each array (as long as the panels are within the 200 Max specs). But it does matter to the 200L with only a single outlet for one solar panel array. It would be very helpful if the next AC200 iteration includes a DC Charging Enhancer. Cost-cutting has its virtues, but when operator flexibility is discounted for something as essential as PV charging, losing that extra solar charging port is gonna be an issue. [edited]

There's no question about it, it's a huge upgrade to the 200Max and I am coming from the 200P and have been using it 24/7 for three years straight. I also have a B230 laying around here along with four B300 batteries.

Thank you for this video 👍🏼😊

I will wait the AC240 in April It is IP65. 15 ms ups parallel connector to connect two host for 4800w inverter and 3072 wh and all plugs are double 2x 12v30A and 2 x 1200w pv array

The 200L I say is a bit of a downgrade for me. Although they have taken away the AC brick and the app and solar input is a lot better. But they took away the 12v 30amp socket?? and the 2 wireless charging on top! With the new AC240. They have brought back the 12v 30amp socket. SO I will wait for that to come out. Not sure how many people will use the AC240 in the rain? But I think this is a better upgrade from the 200 Max than the 200L.

You won’t be able to connect b210 on ac200 max with a firmware update. These use a new connector to allow more battery (up to 4 on ac240 and even 8 with the new parallel connector on the ac240. The futur ac240 will provide 4800w inverter when 2 host are connected together. Also 2 x ac240 will double everything capacity and storage and plugs so will the solar. 2x1200w solar into 2 pv array. And the weight of each element will be lower than 200L and 200Max. And i forgot the wireless will be back on ac240 and there is the RV 30A and the 12v30A (not the useless 48v) and you can get two by buying 2 x ac240

You failed to mention the 200L can only output a total of 140 watts on the usb C outlets combined. So if you have both C outlets plugged in, the L max will be 140 watts. Not sure why they did that. Maybe can be fixed with a software update. I would buy the cheaper max and cheaper b230. I see no reason to buy this 200L. The max will AC charge with an extra brick @ 1000. I also love 30 am dc plug. With the new 48 volt plug U are going to have to buy a unit they don’t even have. To me this is not an up grade but the real upgrade is the 7000 watt surge. So the L will start an AC unit without a soft start. The max cannot start an AC unit without a soft start. I don’t use my max to run my camper (AC) I have a delta pro for that and it’s the only true 30 amp plug and starts my 15k AC unit without soft start. Just some info for U

Thanks for all info on the 200 L Were do you buy the D -40 12/24/48 volt i need to get one i had a 200 max and it had the right plug for 12 volt thanks

The D40 won’t give you a 12v30A. According to a bluetti tech you won’t be able to connect the D40 directly into a fuse box. You will need a battery. They said there is two way to use it , so the second way is via a cable with an anderson end. I am not sure if we will be able to convert from 48v to 12v with an external converter. If it is anderson end there is no third pin for data. But the D40 is only to charge a battery.

Maybe you can help me on this. The specs on the ac200L states that the maximum ac input is 2400, but it is my understanding that you need a code from bluetti to be able to use that feature- that the standard ac input for it is 1200 watts. Some folks were leading me to believe that to use the 2400 watt ac input I need a 240 watt outlet (like the clothes washer plugs into?) but I just called customer service and they said no, you can get the 240 watts from a standard home outlet and the standard power cord that comes with it is sufficient. Is that correct?

its funny as hell.. not a single american viewer can say what the 48 volt plug in is for.. it was stupid to remove the 12 volt 30 amp plug for a useless 48 volt.. the 48 should have been on European models and give us americans what we use every day.. 12 volt. and whats the use in two 100 amp usb if you can only use one at a time.. this L has some serious flaws . i went with the 200 max but im just going to use it for a instant pot at the beach tailgating..lol for now..

in north america we have two reason to use 48 volt as a power source bassboat trolling motor and starlink .. anyone else list any others.. that ac L also has two 100 watt usb BUT you can only use one at a time so you use one and look at the other.. china headgames right there..lol

The ac200L ..to use turbo / 2400 watt ac charging, you need a password..
