I want to get a backpack minisplit airconditioner to connect to my acmax200 with 2 b230s for my van. However it looks like they draw too many amps? Is this true? Can someone help me with this please with any suggestions or alternatives.
Welcome to the forum @Tommyboy !!
I’ve never heard of this backpack mini split so could you share a link to it by chance so I can take a look at the specs??
The inrush current might be too high for the bluetti and could possibly be fixed by installing what they call a “soft start” or “easy start” to the unit? But again, we’d need to see the specs on the unit and know how much it draws upon startup to verify anything.

Thank you for the welcome and response.
Here"s a link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CTZWNL2H/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=A4GM415ON93UZ&psc=1
Its a 8200 BTU and 750W specs in the link.
Also, found a YT video with usage data however its a bigger unit.
It seems like I would have to use a dc to ac like power max to use this ac unit . I didnt buy it yet.
I was going to get the 12 volt unit because less power usage.
However would the less power usage make any sense still given that I would have to convert the ac to dc. or is the less power usage still worth it.
Thank you.
