Does the Bluetti AC500 include a battery?

No. The AC500 is a modular inverter and must be paired with compatible battery expansion modules.

What batteries work with the AC500?

The AC500 is designed to work with compatible expansion batteries such as the B300K, B300S, and B300 modules, depending on system configuration.

Can the AC500 power large appliances?

Yes. Its 5,000W pure sine wave output and 10,000W surge capacity make it suitable for many high-demand appliances and tools, within the systemu2019s limits.

Is the AC500 suitable for solar charging?

Yes. It supports up to 3,000W of solar input, which makes it a practical option for solar-backed backup and off-grid setups.

How fast does it switch to backup power?

The AC500 can switch in less than 20ms, which helps reduce interruption during outages.

Description

The Central Control Unit for Next-Generation Micro-Grids

The BLUETTI AC500 is the pure master control mainframe and smart inverter unit of BLUETTI’s flagship modular power line. Built without an internal battery, this high-tensile standalone hub houses the intelligent charging controllers, processing chips, and massive inversion circuitry needed to manage industrial-speed power. By pairing the AC500 with expansion battery blocks (such as the B300, B300S, or B300K), you create a fully tailored energy system that can be easily moved, stacked, or upgraded as your backup demands grow over time.

Elite 5,000W Pure Sine Wave Output

Equipped with premium electrical components, the AC500 safely processes 5,000 watts of clean, continuous energy with a huge 10,000W surge threshold. The high-grade pure sine wave inverter matches or exceeds the stability of standard utility grid lines—making it entirely safe to run expensive workstation computers, sensitive home audio rigs, or heavy-duty household inductive motors without causing electrical interference or hardware wear.

Key Performance Features:

16 Versatile Distribution Ports: Eliminate messy splitters and adapters. The integrated front face provides direct, heavy-duty structural plugs including a dedicated high-current 230V/32A outlet, standard 16A sockets, 100W USB-C Power Delivery ports, high-power DC outputs, and dual wireless charging pads.
Dual-Channel 3,000W MPPT Solar Array Controller: Capture green energy at lightning speeds. The AC500 can simultaneously handle two completely separate solar arrays totaling 3,000W max (with an open-circuit voltage range of 12-150VDC), allowing you to maintain full operational independence during permanent off-grid living.
Blistering 5,000W Direct AC Input: When connected to your home grid or a matching generator, the AC500 processes up to 5,000W of utility power, filling your connected battery bank completely in record time without relying on slow external charging blocks.
Unbroken 24/7 Home UPS Mode: Secure your vital appliances against sudden dropouts. Functioning as a high-speed Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), the AC500 continuously monitors line voltage and automatically redirects power to its battery array during a blackout to prevent costly data drops or equipment reboots.
Advanced Dual-Unit Split-Phase Interlinking: Need more? By combining two AC500 mainframes side-by-side using an external fusion connection box, you can double your total system output to an immense scale, establishing a high-voltage household system capable of running heavy 240V fixtures.
