| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Storage | |
| CapacityHow much energy the battery stores. Bigger means longer runtime or more of your own solar power used later. | 2,048 Wh (40 Ah) |
| Battery chemistryLFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for long life and stable behaviour with heat. | Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP) |
| Cycle lifeHow many full charge and discharge cycles the cells are rated for before they hold less than the stated share of their original capacity. | Not stated |
| ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system. | Up to two B210 or two B300 batteries, or one B230. BLUETTI's support page lists compatible expansion batteries in its FAQ. |
| Output | |
| AC output (continuous)The power it can deliver all the time. Add up the watts of what you want to run at once and stay below this. | 2,400 W in total, 230 V, 50/60 Hz, 10.5 A. The number of AC sockets is not given in the text we could read. |
| AC output (surge)A short burst above the continuous rating, for appliances that draw more power when they start. | Overload tolerance: 2,520 to 3,000 W for 2 minutes, 3,000 to 3,600 W for 5 seconds, above 3,600 W for 0.5 seconds. A peak surge rating is not stated. |
| Power Lifting ModeA mode that runs some heating devices above the normal output rating. Only for devices that allow it. | The manual lists a Power Lifting Mode setting (P04) but its output figure is not stated in the text we could read |
| USB-APorts for phones, tablets and small devices. | 2 ports, 18 W each (5 V 3 A, 9 V 2 A, 12 V 1.5 A) |
| USB-CPorts for laptops, phones and tablets. Power delivery up to 100 W can charge most laptops. | 2 ports: 5/9/12/15/20 V at 3 A, and 20 V at 5 A (100 W) |
| Car outletA 12 V socket like the one in a car, for car accessories. | 1 cigarette lighter port, 12 V, 10 A |
| Charging | |
| AC chargingHow fast it charges from a wall socket. Higher means a shorter wait. | 2,400 W maximum, 230 V, 10.5 A, 50/60 Hz |
| Time to charge from the mainsHow long a full charge takes from a wall socket. | 0 to 80% in 45 minutes at 25 °C |
| Solar inputHow much solar panel power it accepts. A higher figure fills the battery faster on a sunny day. | 1,200 W maximum, 12 to 145 V, 15 A maximum. Solar panels must not exceed 145 V open-circuit voltage. |
| Solar charging timeHow long a full charge takes from solar panels, in the conditions the maker names. | Not stated |
| Car chargingCharging from a car's 12 V or 24 V socket while driving. Slow, but useful on the road. | Via the DC input cable (12 to 145 V); no separate rating is given |
| Backup switchover (EPS)What happens when the grid fails. EPS means it takes over automatically. | 20 ms or less (UPS) |
| Pass-through chargingWhether it can power devices while it is itself being charged. | Not stated |
| Housing and warranty | |
| Dimensions (L × W × H)Check the space before you buy, including room around it for airflow and cables. | 420 × 280 × 366.5 mm |
| WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it. | 28.3 kg |
| Operating temperatureThe range it is rated to work in. Cold and heat can reduce performance. | Charging 0 to 40 °C; discharging -20 to 40 °C |
| Noise levelFan noise while working. | 50 dB maximum |
| Protection ratingIP ratings show protection from dust and water. IP55 and IP65 are rated for outdoor-style exposure; check the installation guidance. | Not stated |
| WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ. | Not stated |
How long will it run your devices?
Choose how many of each device you want to run at the same time. The wattages are typical figures, so check the label on your own devices.

The estimate assumes 85% of the rated capacity is usable after conversion losses. BLUETTI does not state this figure, so we use a cautious assumption. Real running times vary with temperature, battery age and how each device draws power.
Compatible with
What BLUETTI says this product works with. Anything not listed here is not confirmed.

Rules where you live
A portable power station is not wired into your home, so it is simple to use almost anywhere. Connecting one to your home circuits to power the house is different, and the rules for that vary by country. See our country guides for the rules, incentives and prices where you live.
Strengths and things to check
Strengths
- 2,400 W output with generous overload tolerance (BLUETTI's figures)

Change log
We record changes to this page here, so you can see when figures such as the warranty were last updated.
- 11 November 2026
- Page published. BLUETTI's UK shop sells the AC200PL, a different model (2,304 Wh), and the AC200L is listed on BLUETTI's international site and its UK support pages. Warranty: not stated.
Where this information comes from
We have not tested the AC200L. Figures come from BLUETTI's AC200L user manual V3.0 (the EU version, 230 V) and BLUETTI's AC200L product and support pages, last checked on 11 November 2026. The manual's specification tables lost their layout when we read them, so every number was matched to its label with care. A value BLUETTI does not state is shown as not stated.
We do not show prices, because they change often and differ between sellers.

Common questions about BLUETTI AC200L
What can the AC200L run?
BLUETTI rates it at 2,400 W continuous, so a kettle, a heater or power tools are possible, though a heavy load drains 2,048 Wh quickly. Divide 2,048 Wh by the device's draw for a rough running time.
How can the AC200L be expanded?
BLUETTI's manual says it works with up to two B210 or two B300 batteries, or with one B230. Check the exact combinations with BLUETTI before you buy.
Is the AC200L the same as a home battery?
No. It is a portable power station that you plug devices into, and BLUETTI says it is for off-grid use only. An installed home battery is wired into your electrics by an electrician. See our guide to plug-in and installed home batteries.
