Hi All,
Newbie here with a new AC200L still sitting in the box. Before I try to deploy this unit, I would like to understand the Bluetti recommendations for providing UPS to 6 single phase circuits (mix of 15A and 20A) while charging via 30A AC without damaging the AC200L. Thanks for your input!
Looking forward to seeing this product in action!
Cheers,
Frank
How are you going to charge at 30 amps?
Hi Scott,
That is a typo. I will be charging at 20A via AC.
Cheers,
Frank
@fkls
Are you using the US 110V AC200L? If so, 20A charging on the AC200L requires Pro mode to be turned on. and you need to purchase the 30A optional AC charging cable (currently unavailable until April).
How would a person purchase the optional 30 amp cable mentioned when none of the accessories are showing as available for the AC200L?
After confirming with the sales team, it was learned that due to shipping delays, the optional cable accessories for AC200L will not be available until the end of April. 
Shipping delays? Really?
Well, I have heard that the middle east conflict is causing shipping issues along the ship routes. From Reuters article: “WASHINGTON/ADEN, Yemen, Jan 12 (Reuters) - U.S. and British warplanes, ships and submarines launched dozens of air strikes across Yemen against Houthi forces in retaliation for months of attacks on Red Sea shipping that the Iran-backed fighters cast as a response to the war in Gaza.”. Apparently this is causing some shipping companies to use safer, but much longer, routes for their ships.

I might be more sympathetic if everything was getting held up in shipping. I keep wondering aloud how the 200L and other units are on hand for ready distribution and every unit ever produced did not have accessories available at the time of introduction.
Agreed. In the case of every product release there has been a significant delay in getting accessories available. I have noted repeated cases of new owners getting frustrated by their need for an accessory to make full use of their purchase that sometimes takes months to become available. There seems to be a lack of focus on these accessories during product development and production start-up.
