Everything You Want, All In One

The AC500 & B300S expandable power system will revolutionize how you utilize solar energy. It is designed to keep you powered during outages and connected to an endless energy supply no matter where you go.

 

 

Power Option For Personalization

The modular design of the AC500 allows it to support up to six B300S or four B300 expansion batteries (or a mix of both), providing a total capacity of 18,432Wh and 12,288Wh, respectively—sufficient to meet your off-grid power needs for days. For AC300 owners seeking a stronger inverter, there’s no need to purchase a new set; the 5,000W inverter in the AC500 is more than capable of meeting their requirements.

 

 

Powerful, Wonderful

The integrated inverter provides a continuous 5,000W pure sine wave output and can handle up to 10kW surge power for short bursts, ensuring that any device you connect operates at its full capacity with ease. It’s ideal for various situations, whether you’re camping or hosting a barbecue in the garden.

 

 

Endless Solar Energy For Free

Equipped with an advanced MPPT controller, the AC500 supports up to 3,000W of solar input, making it 40% faster than standard charging speeds. As a result, the AC500+B300S combo can be fully charged in just 1.5 hours under optimal conditions. *Note: Charging times are for reference only and may vary depending on ambient temperature and other factors.

 

 

Unparalleled Recharging Experience

The AC500 system can be recharged in various ways, including direct connections to solar panels, a car’s cigarette lighter, or more efficiently using a 5,000W charging cable*. Notably, the AC500 supports an impressive input rate of up to 8,000W*, allowing it to fully recharge in just 1.5 hours. *This requires a 50A charging cable or connection to the grid. Additionally, to achieve this charging rate, at least two B300S packs are needed, along with dual charging through 3,000W solar and 5,000W AC. If only one B300 is used, the input rate will be limited to 4,500W.

 

 

Safe, Smart, And Seamless UPS Backup

Whenever the grid fails, the AC500 system will seamlessly take over as your home’s energy source, ensuring that all essential loads continue to operate without disruption. It incorporates a state-of-the-art Battery Management System (BMS) and LiFePO4 battery, providing enhanced safety during operation, extended lifespan, and optimal performance.

 

 

Monitor & Control In The Palm Of Your Hand

The user-friendly BLUETTI App and touchscreen enable you to manage all aspects, including power input and output, real-time energy usage, charging settings, OTA firmware updates, and more.

2. 5,000W max. with 2*B300S or more
3. 3,000W max. with 1*B300
4. 5,000W max. with 2*B300 or more.

Q2: How many B300 packs can be connected to AC500？

A: 4*B300

Q3: How many B300S packs can be connected to AC500？

A: 6*B300S

Q4: Can B300S and B300 be mixed?

A: Yes. 4 packs in total.

Q5: Can I use AC500 alone?

A: No, it's 100% modular and needs to team with B300S/B300 to get its job done.

Q6: What is the max charging power of AC500?

A:
1. 3,000W max. with 1*B300

Q9: Do I need an extra cable to connect B300 and AC500?

A: Yes, P150D to P090D is required, you may order it separately

Q10: What is the difference between B300S and B300?

A:
1) Current capacity: 130A for B300S while 75A for B300.
2) ONLY B300S features the automatic heating function.
3) Solar input: 500W for B300S while 200W for B300.

Q11: How does the heating function work?

A: When the temperature is below 0℃, the battery will be automatically heated once AC or PV charging is activated (input power＞400W).

Q12: How to connect AC500 to the main panel ?

A: 20ms.

Q14: Can I use third party solar panels to charge AC500?

A: Yes, the solar panels must meet the following conditions:
1) Total voltage:12-150V
2) Total power: 3000W max.
3) With MC4 connectors

Q15: Can I use rooftop solar panel to charge AC500?

A: Yes, but please note that your solar roof must meet:
1. No micro-inverter
2. Open circuit voltage 12-150V
3. With MC4 connectors
Note: When OCV exceeds 150V, you may use BLUETTI D300S* to step down the voltage to achieve solar charging.

Q16: Does AC500 support charging and discharging at the same time?

A: Yes.

Q17: How long will AC500 run my device?

A: Running time = battery capacity x DoD x η ÷ device rated power DoD: Depth of Discharge, η: local inverter efficiency. For AC500, both DoD and η are 90%.
If you run a 1,000W microwave oven with a AC500 + B300S combo, the running time will be 3,072Wh × 90% × 90% ÷ 1,000W ≈ 2.5 hours
Note:
1) This formula doesn't apply to inductive loads with compressors, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.
2) The above data is for reference ONLY.

Q18 : Is AC500 waterproof?

A: No, please keep it in a dry place.

Q19: Can I use the fusion box in high voltage areas?
