    Thank you for this video & the info on the charging enhancer. I recently bought the AC300 & just one B300 for my van that's in process. I increased my solar from 300W to 600W, and was considering this for alternator charging. I wasn't aware that you could use it to input additional solar panels. Your info is very helpful in making the most of this equipment.

      @@sharimctiver8952 Thanks for the feedback, from what I have gathered there is a solution. From your truck batteries connect a DC DC converter to raise the voltage to 48 then feed that into the D050S which is limited to 10A but at 48v that still provides over 400 watts... Plug this into the B300 "power in" port so that can simultaneously use shore or solar power .. what do you think?

    Hi. I though I knew everything there is about the D050S, but I have learned two thinks I totally missed out, which is the fact that they can go into the AC adapter input on the main unit as well AND that they are truly an MPPT controller!

    Respectfully, the AC adapter (120 Vac to ~50 to ~60 Vdc converter) that comes with the Bluetti AC200Max (T500 500W Adapter for AC charging) is intended to be plugged directly into the AC input port and, I believe, it does not have any "charge control" circuitry. That tells me that charge control is built into the Bluetti AC200Max (as well as the b230). That would further suggest that the charge enhancer is just a simple DC to DC voltage boost converter and that you could simply connect your DC power supply (voltage limited to 58.8 volt and current limited to 8 Amp) directly to the AC input port.

  • @Sylvan_dB
    @Sylvan_dB Před rokem +4

    If the input is actually "direct to the battery" then it would be far cheaper to use a 3rd party MPPT controller. 500 watt mppt controller for $200 is crazy, and it doesn't actually appear to be MPPT but rather a simple DC boost converter.

  • @drcoolit
    @drcoolit Před rokem

    I'm new to solar and while I've been reading a lot about it, this is the 1st video I've seen where the purpose and applicability of this charge enhancer are clearly demonstrated and emphasized. I had an inkling of its function prior to this video but NOW I UNDERSTAND! Only one thing you said (if I have this right) that confused me -- as I understand it, the B230 battery HAS a MPPT charging circuit so it CAN accept solar directly -- does not require the enhancer. I don't have that battery so there may be only one input for solar in which case you have direct input from solar panels OR from the charge enhancer but you can't have both at the same time (in contrast to what is possible w/ the AC200 versions). Of course, if the B230 can accept directly solar panel input the ONLY good reason to use the charge enhancer is if you have a non-solar DC input since the charge enhancer (as you point out) is a CHARGER and not just a DC input souorce.

    • @ebikecnx7239
      @ebikecnx7239 Před 11 měsíci

    I bought a dc charging enhancer to be able to charge my ac200p from a small solar ray that only puts out 24 volts, which is below the minimum charge voltage required to charge the ac200p. I plugged in the solar and it started charging! But then it quit, and now the dc charging enhancer won’t charge from this solar array. But it will still charge from a cigarette lighter outlet. Did I damage the dc charging enhancer with my low voltage array?

    Great round-up. Thanks for the two graphs.
    My current setup consists of a single 120W Solar panel, connected to the D050S, which feeds into a B230. The result is around 100W, which is what I would get without the D050S.
    The solar panel provides around 19v. I am thinking of stepping up the 19V to 48V with a converter (@6.xA). So, the setup converter would feed into the D050S 48V at around 6.5A.
    Any comments/suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

  • @andreblanchard8315
    @andreblanchard8315 Před rokem +3

    I have a 200Max, 1 B230, and 1 T500. Main charging is 800 Watts of solar into the Max.
    I have considered the charging enhancers to add a bit more solar but the voltage and current limits make getting max output a challenge. It is not, or at least not a very good MPPT.
    If the barrel input is a direct connection to the battery I wonder if a standard solar charge controller, Victron or whatever, could be used?

    • @matthewr3986
      @matthewr3986 Před rokem +2

      The problem isn't that the charging enhancer isn't a "good" MPPT controller. It cannot safely output more than 60 volts and 9 amps to the input of the MAX or batteries. They have a working voltage of 58.8volts at about 8.5 amps. It is this input which does not allow a higher voltage and or amperage that hinders what is useable.

    • @zanedzikonski4234
      @zanedzikonski4234 Před rokem

      I believe it’s the internal components of max/ac 200p that limit current and voltage. Some of this is good because “fast charging” can reduce batteries life time. I just designed a separate solar array to work within the parameters( voltage/amps) of dc charging enhancer and it works great. Good luck

    • @amieres
      @amieres Před rokem +1

      The barrel input in the AC 200 is not a direct connection to the battery. Only after it senses a voltage in the correct range will it open the connection to the battery. Most standalone mppt chargers will also need to sense a battery voltage before they start working. Furthermore a Victron will not start charging a battery until the solar panels produce at least 4 Volts more than the battery, which means you need at least 58V in your panels before they start charging. By contrast, the D050s can start with just 12 Volts.

    Excellent video! I enjoyed the detailed information. Question, could you get your DC Charging enhancer to start charging with above 60 volts input or was that starting at a lower voltage below 60v and then ramping it up? In the past when testing my unit with solar panels slightly over 60VOC, the charger would not 'start up'. I had to find panels that were lower than 60v VOC to start the charging process.

    • @matthewr3986
      @matthewr3986 Před rokem +6

      I have read elsewhere that a little work around to that is to have the solar panels covered before plugging them in. Then uncover them so as not to hit the max open circuit voltage. Not ideal but I've read it works. Haven't tried it myself though.

    Newbie to all things solar here... Have an AC200Max, one B230, one PV200 panel, one PV350 panel, and one D050S enhancer. What would be the best configuration you would recommend to maximize the solar charging power to the AC200Max/B230 unit?
    Would it be best to: A) plug the PV350 into the AC200Max and then use the D050S to connect the PV200 to the B230, or B) to plug the PV200 into the AC200Max and use the D050S to connect the PV350 to the B230?
    Or would it be six of one, half dozen of the other?
    Or would it be unworkable to use both panels at the same time because of the different wattages? Should I disconnect the AC200Max from the B230, charge them separately using one panel for each, and then reconnect them after charging is complete?

    • @amieres

I am wondering, if according to your chart that the 12v-14v alternator input realizes only 120 to 130 watts, is it worthwhile if the regular cigarette 12v plug gets 80-90 watts. Can they be used as dual inputs with one PV car plug and the enhancer on the AC port to gain approximately 200 watts if the alternator can support it? I currently do not have a permanent solar array so on travel days this would really help. I am not sure of any of this so maybe you might know. Thanks

I am interested in the RV use of the charging enhancer, but would love to extend its use beyond 100W, which is approximately what a cigarette lighter will offer in output. On the Bluetti website they show a picture wit the charging enhancer directly hooked up to a lead acid battery. From your graphs I take it the enhancer wouldn't allow for much more than 100W output at 12 Volts anyway. Did I understand this correctly? Do you have an idea how I could get more like 400W of charging power out of my alternator/starter battery? Thank you!

    I just watched a poor fella who overheated the cigarette lighter cable supplied with this unit. According to you chart and ohms law the current you draw through that cable should be about 10A, so I suspect there is a defect with the cable itself. Still, since that enhancer pretty much behaves like an MPPT controller, I'd don't think I'd be comfortable leaving it on the that connection unattended. I've seen more that once when an MPPT controller just went for broke, so to speak, by trying to reach it's rated output regardless on input voltage.

    I understand you can use the D050S to add non-Bluetti external battery capacity to an AC200MAX or similar. So I could add a ~5kWh 48-51.2V Power Queen LiFePO4 battery or similar. But, could I charge that external battery with T500 AC adapter? It appears to be a 58.8V/8A charger, suitable for LiFePO4 charging, as such is in the AC200MAX. Or maybe I should just buy a dedicated charger for the external battery, capable of maybe 18A instead of only 8.

    • @WaveformScience
      @WaveformScience  Před rokem +1

      It is a battery charger, yes. I have no idea if it can handle charging other batteries.
      The Power Queen products are not raw battery cells. They have a BMS as is required by all multi-cell lithium iron phosphate battery arrays. I’m not sure if the charging requirements of that BMS.
      I do think a faster charger is probably a good idea for an external battery array.

    So, could you use the AC200MAX to get 900W, then use a DC Charge enhancer to the main Unit to get another 500, then use another DC Charge Enhancer to a B230 to get another 500W from another panel, then another DC Charge Enhancer to the other B230 for another 500W of solar to get a total of 1400 for the main unit, and another 500, plus 500 for each B230 for a total of 2400W of solar? In essence, you'd have 3 DC enhancers with solar panels - one for the AC200MAX and one for each B230.

    The AC500 B300s batteries come with a cable to simply plug a solar panel directly into the battery. I does have to match the input spec of 60 Voc so I don't know if the D050S takes care of any overvoltage problems, but I don't see the logic of spending money on it instead of solar panels you can use directly with the batteries.

    Thanks for the content! I was confused about voltage though. I have AC500 with max 150 volt input via solar. If i add this enhancer, does it calculate into that 150 voltage limit or is this a sepate thing meaning i could go over 150 volts because im using differrnt charging port?

  • @noxire1001

    hi Jeff, so if that AC charging port is connected directly to the battery, is it possible use a third party MPPT controller with respect to 60V limit?

    I have the AC500 with two B300 battery unites. I also have 4 12V Battle born batteries. So is hook them together in series would this unit be good for this or should I just put them in via MC4 connectors directly into the AC500.
    Also this charge enhancer is $199 in the USA and $80 in Asia.....hummmm

    Q: Will this device make the BLUETTI AC200 MAX charge faster with say, a 220 watt solar "blanket"??
    My BLUETTI AC200 MAX uses an Off Grid TREK 220 watt solar blanket when I'm car camping to both run my smallDC cooler and charge my two (2) 14 Ah Li-ion e-mountain bike batteries at the end of the day. BUT I may want to add another 300 watt solar blanket for faster re-charging and the BLUETTI DC charging enhancer. Also great for charing a BLUETTI B300 add-on battery.

  • @breakdownbill1
    @breakdownbill1 Před rokem

    I was wanting to see a test where your actually using the solar panels to see both the wattage of the solar and the wattage of the enhancer on the screen of the Bluetti 200. The 24 volts of the solar panels wattage and the the added wattage of the dc enhancer would be fine for me if it works like that.

    You are saying that if you connect a DC power supply to the AC adapter input (not using the DC Enhancer), it will NOT work. Have you tried setting the DC power supply output voltage to 58.8 volts (or about 54 volts) and connecting it to the AC adapter input (not using the DC Enhancer) to confirm what you are claiming or are you just assuming that it will not work? Thanks

Do you know the type of plug for the output side into the Bluetti AC200 Max input 58.8V/8A and a.c. charger input? I can't get the Bluetti D050S in my country and wonder if a step up boost controller will work if set at 58.8V....if I can source that plug. Maybe it's a DC7909???

    Hello, is the external Bluetti solar enhancer you demonstrated working like an external MPPT controller? I sure like your graph plotting. Tells the story. I wonder if the external Bluetti enhancer will enter a pre-programed cut off if the external enhancer receives over 70 volts? I sure hope the engineers designed that into its software or installed a mechanical internal fuse be it serviceable or not. I sure like how you only pushed your input voltage to 70 volts. I as well would not have gone any higher, but Bluetti should have designed a software cut off to self-preserve its unit. Thank you for the information.

    • @WaveformScience
      @WaveformScience  Před rokem +3

      It is an external MPPT controller with the output stage connected to a LiFePO4 battery charger. They also made the charging circuits play nice with Bluetti's built-in MPPT controllers so that the adapter can feed both the AC input and the MPPT input on their devices.
      I'm not sure if it cuts off above 70 volts. I didn't want to blow it up since the max published acceptable voltage is 60 volts. It's too expensive of a device for me to fry one.
      The newer devices all cut off right at the published specs, so my guess is they left themselves some thermal "wiggle room" by slightly underrating the specs on this device.
      That said, I highly recommend to stay within the manufacturers published voltage input range.

    Hi! first of all thank for your video! It is difficult to figure out somebody with technological knowledge speaking about bluetti hahaha
    Second I have in mind a weird set up, let me explain.
    My user case scenario: I go with bluetti to camping during weekend, I have already a lifepo 12v 200Ah battery 500W solar panel with Vopen +-40V.
    If I connect the battery to the DC/solar input I only get 100W of charge and I miss the chance to use solar panels.
    So.... what if I connect the battery in series with the panels and add a switch system to disconnect the battery when the voltage drops? I would get around 52V increasing the charge rate .

  • @danenewman800
    @danenewman800 Před rokem

    This is truley terrific...You mentioned the AC power on the 200max is straight to the battery. The avation solar input port has a controller built in correct? This means you can connect straight DC sources of power unlike the AC Port?

    • @WaveformScience
      @WaveformScience  Před rokem +1

      The aviation port goes to the built-in MPPT controller. Yes, you can plug in straight DC sources to that input. I didn't cover that in this video since that use-case does not need a DC Charging Enhancer.

      The EB150 only has one input port. You can't plug both this and the wall charger into the same input port at the same time.

      According to the details on the website for the AC180, you don't need the DC Charging Enhancer. If your vehicle has a 12 volt "cigarette lighter port" you should be able to charge the AC180 with a simple cable that should have come with the AC180.

    Question - Is there a recommended procedure for disconnecting AC & DC charging cables to avoid any chance of arcing & damage to the connectors ? In particular, the DC5525 input port on my AC200P.

    • @WaveformScience
      @WaveformScience  Před rokem

      The AC200P has a DC5525 12v output port, and an 8mm AC input port. I'm going to guess you are talking about the input port.
      The charger has a delay built into it to prevent arcing, but if you want to be absolutely sure you can plug in the 8mm plug first, then plug the AC cord into an powered off outlet strip. After everything is plugged in you can turn on the outlet strip.

    • @GreKno63
      @GreKno63 Před rokem

      ​@@WaveformScience Yes, I'm want to protect both the 8mm AC and the aviation DC charging ports during disconnection, as connection is protected by the built-in delay, but there's no protection during disconnecting.
      If I'm charging with AC, I'll switch off the AC power first before removing the 8mm plug from the solar generator, and for ending a DC charging session, I've added a switch into my DC supply cables. I'm surprised connector arcing damage during disconnection hasn't been addressed.

    • @WaveformScience
      @WaveformScience  Před rokem

      @@GreKno63 Disconnection is an issue. I've put a DC breaker on my solar panels to be able to prevent that.
      Bluetti would have needed to add a relay internally and a switch for said relay to prevent it.
