The company BLUETTI has managed to reach the expected figure, 11 million dollars on the page Indiegogo, achieving the record in the history of the company. The AC500 and the B300S expansion battery have thus managed to reach the official store on November 18 at a really competitive price.
There is a certain parallelism with the BLUETTI AC300 modular model, the AC500 has a lot of improvements that will make you is at the forefront in the market of solar generators. It is one of the generational models that promise to take over a market in which it will have no competition, seeing both technology and power.
AC500 Performance Features
1. The AC500 is 100% modular and compatible with B300 batteries. and B300S, so it will give a high capacity of up to 18,432 Wh.
2. It has a 5.000W inverter (up to 10.000W overload) to cover any power need in most cases, saving some electronic products at home.
3. Connection with at least 2 BLUETTI B300S batteries and charging via AC and PV simultaneously it will allow a maximum input of 8.000W. Charging from 0 to 100% will need 1,8 to 2,3 hours, which significantly saves charging time, thereby eliminating current competitors from the market.
4. Add nine charging ways available, just choose the one you want.
5. Incorporates an advanced BMS and LFP Battery, with which it promises to guarantee greater safety and a longer useful life than the rest.
6. Split phase link function, connect two AC500 to double the capacity, voltage and power is increased to 36,864 Wh, 240V/6,000W, this requires a Fusion Box Pro and is sold separately).
7. Monitor and control from the BLUETTI app for Android and iOS. You can enjoy the latest firmware by OTA update via Wi-Fi from time to time.
8. Weight/dimensions: Its weight is around 30 kg, while its dimensions are 520 × 325 × 358 mm.
BLUETTI AC500 will adopt LiFePO4 battery, which is selected for durability in the long term, with more than 3500 charge cycles at 80% capacity. Compared to the lithium ion battery used by most current power stations and power banks, the LiFePO4 battery type offers much better performance, lasting for more than 10 years in continuous use. by the client.
BLUETTI's commitment to renewable energy
The company has opted for renewable energy, has dedicated itself to building a better future, which is why it provides a very economical solar energy solution and thinking of each one of its customers. It incorporates in the AC500 a MPPT solar inverter that has no equalThis allows a solar input of up to 3.000W maximum. Not surprisingly, recharging the 3.072Wh of the AC500 and B300S from zero to 80% SOC with sun exposure only takes around 1,5 hours. As long as there is light, there will be unlimited energy.
It will allow you to use any device at any time, including those in which we do not have light in our home or office. There is no better option if you want to have a backup in any of the areas, feeding any of the electrical devices, a refrigerator, a computer, the washing machine and others for many hours.
This model, the modular AC500, will support a total of six BLUETTI B300 batteries for a total capacity of 18.432 Wh. Thanks to the Fusion Box Pro, with the option to connect up to two sets AC500 in order to have an output of up to 240V/6000W and a capacity of 36,864 Wh, being an important energy center for important household elements to work for days and even weeks. The creation of the system with compatible solar panels is capable of achieving energy independence, having an unlimited supply of energy that will always be available for the home, living in the country, camping, traveling from one city to another and even sleeping outside.
BLUETTI, at the forefront of technology
Advanced technologies are always used, giving the user the latest. BLUETTI with the application allows each user to control and monitor energy consumption at any time, checking the status and operation, having the option to update the firmware via OTA to the latest version at all times, even if you are away from home.
The charge of this energy point will not take us too long. BLUETTI AC500 will use different charging modes, including AC, solar, generator, lead-acid, double or triple charging. The connection with the wall and solar panels, being able to charge the AC500 efficiently and quickly with a maximum input of 8000W.
The charging time for the AC500 with two B300S, is one of the references:
– 3.000W MPPT solar charging: 2,5 hours
– AC 5.000W charge: 1,7 hours
– Dual charge 8.000W AC+PV: 1,2 hours.
The solar charging time in winter may be a little longer, although you have more options for it. The B300S expansion battery comes with intelligent self-heating capability so that it can be used immediately and activate even when the ambient temperature is around -20℃. Thanks to this, the AC500 system continues to function normally throughout the cold autumn and winter.
