Wow! I am amazed at the fact that you not only figured out how to disassemble such a complex device without breaking anything, but more so by the fact that you were able to successfully reassemble the device. You have done a great service for the consumer by disclosing how the unit is actually constructed. The build quality looked good to me. Thank you, great video!!

[@AdamDeLay07]

Appreciate that! Yeah it was...complex, but it really does show the attention to detail taken for the build.

[@daledervin3672]

Great video. I love my AC200L, and now I’m happy about its internal quality!

[@AdamDeLay07]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@BLUETTIOfficial]

Thank you for the great video, Adam!

[@BradCagle]

Awesome teardown, Adam. Thanks!

[@AdamDeLay07]

Thanks Brad!

[@tonyshipman257]

Adam, It was interesting and I enjoy it. I wish you would have dived deeper into the 48v/8a outlet. That has been a disappoint for those of us who were looking for an outlet better than the 12v/30 found in the 200MAX. Yet no one has been able to use the 48v/8a outlet since the release and it has taken 6 months for the D40 and its cable to be available. Then there is the fan noise issue with the 200MAX before it and some were saying the improvement with the 200L was better fans that might even have bearings. All the Best, Tony

[@AdamDeLay07]

Thanks. Unfortunately, there wasn't much to the 48v connector that would help. The back of it just looks like a cigarette lighter port (7:44). I'll agree that it's frustrating that they released a product that no one can use that port though. I wasn't aware of any fan noise issue on the previous model, but I never owned one.

[@jjsantos3292]

That was an excellent teardown! Impressive labeling in there, too.

[@AdamDeLay07]

Thanks! That’s the most detail I’ve seen inside one of these power stations.

[@simon359]

Glad you were able to put it back together, at my age I don’t think I would take a chance. Most likely I would’ve forgotten something. 🤙

[@AdamDeLay07]

Me too! Thanks!

[@Roll2Videos]

Wow! That is a huge step up from the Allpowers. Not surprised Bluetti knocked it outta the park. Thanks, Adam. 👌👍

[@AdamDeLay07]

Yeah, night and day different! Thanks!

[@sunseeker8457]

The USB port you found is if / when Bluetti needs to update and or go in and do a diagnostics check on the item. They can plug it into their system.

[@4evermetalhead79]

Noice! I love disassemblies. I used to be a troublemaker too when i was a kid. Though after disassembly i had no interest on reassembly, as got what i was looking for. Anyway it was always broken toys that i just wanted to see what makes them tick or taking a donor part to fix or build something else. I remember 90% of my “custom” hodgepodge rc cars. One could say they were very odd and interesting looking. 🤣

[@AdamDeLay07]

🤣🤣🤣 Yeah a lot of my “tear downs” when I was a kid were broken things just to see how they worked…some weren’t (and I got in trouble for those ones). Usually I have extra pieces so I get super exited when I don’t!😁 Thanks!

[@andrewr05]

Interesting, I bought the AC200P-L recently and it DOES have the wireless charging pads on top. The AC200P-L is the same as the AC200L but its the "premium" version that has more battery capacity and it isn't even specified on the spec sheet, but it does indeed re-gain the charging pads like the AC200Max has.

[@AdamDeLay07]

Very interesting. I was wondering what devices had those pads. Too bad the regular L model doesn’t.

[@klatlap]

Maybe they use that top for the AC200PL premium version as it has 2 wireless chargers on top.

[@AdamDeLay07]

Must be. I didn't know that they had a premium version.

[@andrewpowell2035]

It would have been interesting to see where that third pin for the 48v plug goes….

[@AdamDeLay07]

It only has 2 larger pins (positive and negative) and then it looks like 8 smaller pins which I assume are for communication.

[@ReadyNeck]

At the 15 minute mark you pull out the board that has all the connectors on it. I'm trying to track the connection of the "Battery Expansion Port" wondering if it's a true direct connection to the battery itself without any relays or other electronics in-between? It looks to be the case but wondered if I'm missing or not seeing something? In other words, if I connect to that Battery Expansion Port do I have unfettered access to the battery itself and could feasibly charge and discharge the battery without any interference from the internal electronics or at minimum would just have the BMS to work through?

[@AdamDeLay07]

It seems like there has to be something else between the connector and the BMS because I checked for voltage on those terminals and there wasn't any. So there has to be some kind of relay that opens/closes based on communication from the expansion battery...at least that's my thinking.

[@ReadyNeck]

@@AdamDeLay07 Doh, I should have made that assumption when I tested the voltage across the battery and saw there was none when the unit was turned off. I did find another telling indicator that after it was turned on and then turned off that the voltage measured on the terminals of the connector slowly goes down indicating that there are likely capacitors in between the on/off relay and the external connector terminals too.

[@AdamDeLay07]

@@ReadyNeck yeah, the voltage dropping does make sense. You would likely need something on one of the communication pins to tell the connection to close between the pins and the BMS.

[@oooee]

That would not be good, I'd like to charge the battery directly from this battery expansion port using an external 48v battery that's not a bluetti. I bought a cable from bluetti but because I got a voltage from the terminals I was thinking it would work without having to worry about any other bms type communication. None of the patch cables bluetti sells that fit the port such as the one with the XT90 connector don't have any pins to worry about.

[@AdamDeLay07]

@@oooee I don't blame them for having some kind of safety check on the expansion port, of course I would probably try and add my own 48v battery to it if I could....

[@markmartinez9031]

48 volts battery pack?

[@AdamDeLay07]

Looks like it
