Hello everyone.
I need some brown power before I go spending lots of money on something that might not work.
I have a VW T6 transporter currently in transition šŸ¤£
I also have a bluetti AC200l. I believe this will give me plenty of power for my needs. I also would like to charge it from three different sources. Alternator, solar, grid.
My main problem is the alternator and solar. I could purchase a bluetti charger 1 + Which gives me 560 watts of charging but unfortunately plugs into the PV socket. Which then leaves me with no solar.
So little brain got thinking, could I use a 1200 watt DC to AC inverter which has a 240 volt grid bypass. This would mean I can charge it from the alternator using the three pin plug. And also charging from the grid when I'm plugged in a campsite. This leaves my solar PV socket empty and ready for solar panels. What the inverter flatten my battery or are there smart inverters out there that recognise when the engine starts.
What's everyone's thoughts any help and advice is greatly appreciated
 
Hello @Nelly247# can you not back charge through your 12v system? Thatā€™s how the Clayton LPS does it. Connect a MPPT or PWM to your 12v fuse board which runs back to your Bluetti? Keeps everything else factory setup then
 
Unfortunately you can't back feed on the bluetti ac200l. You can only use the designated input sockets which is AC240 grid and the PV socket.
