HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
If you’ve ever dealt with an unexpected brownout, worked remotely in the middle of nowhere, or just wanted to keep the fridge running during a typhoon, you know that not all power banks are built equal.
The BLUETTI AC200L isn’t your typical “portable” solution, it’s a full-on backup power system designed to handle serious workloads.
Whether you’re living off-grid, prepping for outages, or running lighting equipment out of the studio, a power station may be all you’re looking for.
–I mean who needs V-mount batteries when we can stay plugged-in even outside!
We recently got our hands on the BLUETTI AC200L, and after several weeks of use both indoors and outdoors, we can safely say it’s built for serious power users. With a 2,048Wh LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron phosphate) battery and 2,400W AC output with up to 3,600W surge, the AC200L is definitely more than your 10,000 mAh power bank.
Here’s our full review and how the AC200L performed across various use cases.
In terms of build this thing is humongous. Weighing-in at around 28kg (61.7 lbs), the BLUETTI AC200L isn’t exactly portable in the “grab-and-go” sense, but it does come with sturdy handles on both sides.
That said, it’s clearly built to last. The matte finish is scratch-resistant, and the LCD display gives you a detailed look at input/output stats, battery level, and charging mode in real-time.
It’s not rugged in the sense of weatherproofing, but it’s definitely something you’d feel confident hauling to a campsite, farm, or temporary setup for event photo booth business or whatnot.
For ports, the AC200L gives us a lot of versatility.
Here’s the rundown:
With all these ports, the AC200L can easily run multiple devices simultaneously, whether it’s your gaming laptop, various chargers, appliances, a variety of studio lights. And with 3,600W surge power, we powered up a microwave without triggering an overload.
The AC200L is powered by a LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron phosphate/LFP) battery rated for 3,500+ cycles to 80%. Which means we’re looking at nearly 10 years of regular use before battery degradation becomes a thing.
BLUETTI also lets us expand capacity via the B300 or B300S external battery packs, boosting the total capacity up to 8,192Wh. This is ideal for long-term off-grid setups or larger properties like farms or construction sites.
When it comes to charging, this is where BLUETTI really flexes. The AC200L supports fast dual charging, with up to 2,400W combined AC + solar input.
But in a nutshell, we can charge the AC200L in three ways:
Here’s a list of some common devices we can plug to the AC200L:
The AC200L can also be monitored and controlled remotely via the BLUETTI App (iOS/Android) over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Which users can conveniently download through the QR code stamped on the top of the power station.
With the app we can monitor input or output usage remotely, change charging settings, update firmware, and enable different UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) mode, and activate AC surge.
The BLUETTI AC200L proves that power stations aren’t just luxury camping gear anymore; they’re serious, multi-functional devices that can support daily life, work, and emergencies.
If you need dependable power for off-grid setups, frequent brownouts, or high-wattage tools, the AC200L Portable Powerstation is a beast. While it’s heavier than most and priced at a premium, the performance, expandability, and fast charging more than justify the investment.
And no, you definitely cannot bring this as a carry-on for your next flight (lol.)
