3. How To Get AC200Max Charging
A. From AC wall outlet
Turn AC200Max ON and connect the plug of adapter to the wall outlet, the other side to the AC input port. Charging will automatically stop when it reaches 100%(4.6-5.1Hrs).
B. From the solar panels
- Connect the solar panels(in series or parallel) with Open Circuit Voltage range 10V-145V.
- Connect the solar panel to AC200Max via the solar charging cable. (Standard Accessories 5 to Accessories 3)
- Plug and play charging: AC200Max will be activated when the solar charging system is built up successfully.
- Max input current of the solar charging: 15.2A ± 0.3.
C. Car Charging
- Press the power button and connect it to the cigarette lighter port through the car charging cable.
- Enter the setting interface as shown in (Figure2) through the display screen to set DC input source to car mode; The product can be charged with 8.2A maximum current
D. Generator Charging(gasoline, propane, or diesel)
- Connect the AC adapter input to the generator and the output port to the AC charging port of the machine.
- Press the power button, the product will be charged, the charging will automatically stop when it reaches 100%.
E. Lead-acid Battery Charging
- Connect to the positive and negative poles of the battery through the Charging Clamp (Accessories 9)
Note: pay attention to distinguish the positive and negative poles of the battery, the red side indicates the positive pole. - Enter the setting interface through the screen to set the DC input source to “car mode” to achieve 12V/24V car charging mode, with the maximum current of 8.2A.
F. Dual Charging
- Set the DC input source to PV to achieve AC + PV Dual Charging
- Set the DC input source to others to achieve AC + T500/Lead-Acid Battery Charging.
4. AC200Max Example Load
- 12V/30A, 12V/10A, cigarette lighter port, USB-A, and USB-C output port are suitable for most products in the market, but some products may trigger overcurrent protection if there is a large current impact at the moment of starting.
- The power of electrical products used for AC output should be less than 2200W. According to the different electrical products, when the rated power is less than 2200W, some air conditioners, motors, and other devices that need instantaneous high current when starting may trigger overcurrent when the ratio of the peak value of rated current exceeds 3:1. At this time, we recommend that you select the electrical appliances with lower power rates.
- When the output is overload, over-current or short circuit, the product will turn off the corresponding output port, and then it will automatically start twice (at an interval of 20s). If there is still an overload, over-current, or short circuit alarm, the output port will be locked, and need to be manually troubleshooting and then restart. If the output stops repeatedly after the restart, please stop using it immediately (only after troubleshooting) or contact the vendor or maintenance agent for help.
- When the battery power is discharged to 0%, the DC and AC output will automatically turn off. Only when the battery power is charged to more than 5%, the DC and AC output can be turned on, which is to protect the battery and enhance its cycle life.
- This machine supports charging and discharging simultaneously.
5. AC200MAX + B230 CONNECTION Capacity Extended
- AC200MAX can extend the capacity by 1-2 B230 battery packs to 4096 – 6144Wh.

6. How To Estimate AC200MAX Charger Time
- 2048Wh × DOD × η ÷ (load W) = charging time(unit: h)
Note: DOD is the battery discharge depth,η is the local inverter efficiency, DOD=90%, η =88%.
Examples:
- Smartphone 10W: 175 – 200 Times
- LED Light Bulb 20W: Around 75 – 85 hrs
- Television 75W: Around 20 – 22hrs
- Electronic Tools 80W: Around 19 – 20hrs
- Refrigerator 90W: Around 17 – 19hrs
- Slow Cooker 200W: Around 8-9hrs
