BLUETTI AC180 Portable Power Station | 1,800W 1,152Wh (Refurbished)

FAQS

• Q1: What is Power Lifting Mode？

  A: In this mode, AC180 can run high-power heating devices up to 2,700W, such as space heaters, hair dryers, electric blankets, etc. Do NOT use this unit to run an air conditioner or washing machine.

• Q2: Can it charge and discharge at the same time?

  A: Yes.

• Q3: How do I know whether my appliance can work well with the AC180?

  A: Calculate the total wattage of your devices. AC180 should work if the load doesn't exceed its rated 1,800W.

• Q4: How long can it run my device?

  A:

  The AC180 has different running times depending on the device you're using it with.

  For high-power devices, the running time = Battery capacity × DoD × η ÷ load power.

  For low-power devices, the running time = Battery capacity × DoD × η ÷ (load power + self-consumption of AC180).

  DoD refers to Depth of Discharge and η is local inverter efficiency.

  For AC180, DoD is 90%, η is 85%, and self-consumption is about 15W.

  E.g. If you run a 100W blender with it, the running time will be:

  1152Wh × 90% × 85% ÷ (100W+15W) ≈ 7.66 hrs

  Note:

  1) The formula is NOT suitable for inductive loads with compressors, like refrigerator, air conditioner, etc.

  2) The above data is for reference ONLY.

• Q5: How quickly can I charge the AC180?

  A: The AC180 supports up to 1,440W input. Plug it into a wall outlet and turn on the Turbo Charging mode on the BLUETTI App, and you can fill it up in only 1.3-1.8 hours.

• Q6: What's the difference between Silent, Standard, and Turbo Charging modes?

  A:

  These are the 3 AC charging modes of AC180, each with a different input power and charging speed.

  It generates only 45dB of sound in the silent charging mode.

  Charging Mode	Input Power	Charging Time
  Silent	160W	3-3.5 hrs
  Standard	255W	2.1-2.6 hrs
  Turbo	600W	1.2-1.7 hrs
