POWER stations, which are simply a lithium battery with a few charging inputs and different power outputs, are growing in popularity with more and more recently appearing on the Aussie market. Maybe it’s because they offer all the features of a vehicle’s comprehensive dual-battery system but with the bonus of being packaged in one relatively compact unit, as well as being portable for use away from the vehicle.
Bluetti is a Chinese manufacturer that offers a wide range of battery units including five dedicated portable power stations, of which the AC200L tested here is the flagship.
The AC200L is a compact unit with a neat finish, but it’s heavy; it measures just 420mm x 366 x 280mm but weighs a hefty 28kg, so it’s a two-person lift if you don’t want to bust your boiler.
The major controls are situated on the front of the unit including the main power button and three separate power buttons for the DC, AC and USB outlets. An LED screen gives a clear indication of charge levels, outputs and inputs, along with hours remaining till flat. A 12-volt cigarette lighter outlet and a 48-volt DC outlet port, along with four AC outlets, completes the ensemble. On the starboard side of the unit you’ll find the AC and DC input sockets, a battery expansion port, a circuit breaker to protect the unit, and a grounding connection for when required.
