These are manufacturer-documented successors for this market. A successor is not automatically a drop-in replacement. Compare capacity, output, ports, cables, expansion batteries and RV integration before buying.
Manufacturer successor · fit check required · US · Treat Apex 300 as a successor system; do not assume the old battery, cable, panel or split-phase hardware carries over.
A modular inverter and one external B300S battery for larger portable loads and selected backup circuits. AC500 has no internal battery and cannot operate without a compatible expansion battery. Additional batteries and home connection equipment are separate components.Reviewed manual scope: PDF pages 1–28; complete English manual, OCR plus visual verification of output/input table and Power Lifting pageBLUETTI source ↗ · reviewed 2026-09-24
Outputs
Continuous output and inverter surge
The inverter is rated 5,000 W with sufficient batteries and 10,000 W surge. The selected one-B300S kit is limited to 4,500 W continuous output. The North American unit supplies 120 V; connector amp markings do not increase total inverter output.Reviewed manual scope: PDF pages 1–28; complete English manual, OCR plus visual verification of output/input table and Power Lifting pageBLUETTI source ↗ · reviewed 2026-09-24
USB, DC and wireless outputs
One 24 V/10 A vehicle-style socket, one 12 V/30 A RV port, two 5 V/3 A USB-A ports, two 18 W USB-A ports, two 100 W USB-C ports and two 15 W wireless pads.

Charging
AC charging and included cable limit
AC input accepts 90–264 V and is rated up to 5,000 W with the required battery count and circuit. The included 15 A cable limits a 120 V unit to 1,800 W input. Higher-current cables and a suitable supply are required for faster charging.Reviewed manual scope: PDF pages 1–28; complete English manual, OCR plus visual verification of output/input table and Power Lifting pageBLUETTI source ↗ · reviewed 2026-09-24
Two solar input channels
Each MPPT input accepts 12–150 V open-circuit and operating voltage, up to 15 A and 1,500 W; total PV input is up to 3,000 W. Check cold-weather panel open-circuit voltage and the manual’s connection arrangement.Reviewed manual scope: PDF pages 1–28; complete English manual, OCR plus visual verification of output/input table and Power Lifting pageBLUETTI source ↗ · reviewed 2026-09-24
Vehicle and lead-acid input
The manual specifies up to 8.2 A for the vehicle or lead-acid input methods. These use the DC input cable and the appropriate charging cable; lead-acid input clamps charge AC500 and are not a battery charger output.Reviewed manual scope: PDF pages 1–28; complete English manual, OCR plus visual verification of output/input table and Power Lifting pageBLUETTI source ↗ · reviewed 2026-09-24
Configurations & compatibility
Backup modes and switching
Standard, scheduled, PV-priority and custom UPS modes are documented, with a stated 20 ms switch time. Home circuits require the specified compatible panel and qualified installation; the portable unit does not itself include a home transfer installation.Reviewed manual scope: PDF pages 1–28; complete English manual, OCR plus visual verification of output/input table and Power Lifting pageBLUETTI source ↗ · reviewed 2026-09-24
Battery count and output
One B300S gives 3,072 Wh and up to 4,500 W. At least two B300S, with a battery connected to each AC500 expansion port, are required for 5,000 W. Six B300S give 18,432 Wh. Use P150D expansion cables.Reviewed manual scope: PDF pages 1–28; complete English manual, OCR plus visual verification of output/input table and Power Lifting pageBLUETTI source ↗ · reviewed 2026-09-24
Optional charging and system equipment
Higher-current AC cables, D300S PV voltage reducer, RV output cable, B300 adapter cable, communication cable and P030A Fusion Box are optional. Higher charging and split-phase figures require the matching equipment, source circuit and installation.Reviewed manual scope: PDF pages 1–28; complete English manual, OCR plus visual verification of output/input table and Power Lifting pageBLUETTI source ↗ · reviewed 2026-09-24

Temperature and cold charging
The manual gives −20–40°C charging/discharging for the AC500/B300S system and −25–40°C storage. Subzero battery charging depends on B300S self-heating with the documented T500 or grid-connected AC500 arrangement. Keep the inverter dry and ventilated.Reviewed manual scope: PDF pages 1–28; complete English manual, OCR plus visual verification of output/input table and Power Lifting pageBLUETTI source ↗ · reviewed 2026-09-24

Does Power Lifting increase rated output?
No. It changes output voltage to run some resistive heating loads labelled up to 6,000 W. The inverter rating and battery limits still apply, and this mode requires disconnection from the AC grid input.Reviewed manual scope: PDF pages 1–28; complete English manual, OCR plus visual verification of output/input table and Power Lifting pageBLUETTI source ↗ · reviewed 2026-09-24
What does split-phase expansion require?
Two AC500 units, their batteries, a compatible P030A Fusion Box and communication cable form the documented split-phase arrangement. The P030A instructions limit each unit to 3,600 W, 7,200 W combined. This is separate from the single 120 V kit and requires the documented installation.Reviewed manual scope: PDF pages 1–28; complete English manual, OCR plus visual verification of output/input table and Power Lifting pageBLUETTI source ↗ · reviewed 2026-09-24
