Can AC200L turn On an expansion battery when charging power is available, if the expansion battery had powered Off on its own? (due to timeout if unused, or discharging to 0%)
My AC200Max can not – i have to manually push the button to turn it On-- and it’s frustrating. I’m wondering if they fixed it on the 200L, but haven’t been able to find anything online one way or the other.
Good Day JCs:
I have the AC200MAx and the AC200l.
The max does not turn on the auxiliary battery automatically when connected to solar.
But I can tell you that the AC200L will turn it on automatically.
One thing I haven’t noticed is the extension (auxiliary) battery turning off on its own due to no activity. But then, I don’t think my batteries ever have any idle time.

@jCs This function is the same as the AC200MAX. Other battery packs, except for the B230 battery pack (which does not have the automatic activation feature), can be activated.
Hello again JCs:
I have my AC200L set up in PV charging mode, it is not connected to any AC input source, Solar only.
I use one or two B300 units plugged into my AC200L, but from time to time I turn them off or physically disconnect them when they are not needed.
When I reconnect them and if there is no solar PV coming in they will not turn on (unless I push the on button) but as soon as the solar activity starts they will turn on automatically by themselves, and if they don’t then there must be a problem somewhere.
I hope that helps .

PS, I haven’t tried using the B230 with the AC200L, but I do use it with the MAX, and it only comes on when you physically push the on button regardless of solar power coming in.
