Lifesaver during power outages – Highly Recommend
I recently purchased this product and I’m incredibly impressed with its performance (so much that I bought a second one). It was a lifesaver during recent power outages in Southern California, keeping my full-sized fridge and router/modem running without any issues. It even handled the surge of power required for the compressor to start up and run smoothly. I hooked it up to power my gas furnace when it got cold, and it had no problem running the ~750W blower.Another great feature is the very fast charging capability. However, there’s a point to note here. Customer service informed me that some units, like mine, might require calibration after leaving the factory. The calibration process is not too hard:1) Fully charge the unit. It might seem stuck at 99% for a while, but that’s okay. This initial charging helps the Battery Management System (BMS) understand what “full charge” truly means for your specific unit.2) Once fully charged, use the generator with a constant power draw until it completely shuts down. Don’t worry, even at “0%” the battery still has about 10% charge remaining, so there’s no risk of damaging it through full depletion.3) Following this calibration process (full charge, then full drain), my unit now charges much faster (around 1kW when plugged into the wall) and the battery level indicator reads accurately.Overall, I’m very happy with this product. It’s a reliable and powerful backup power solution that provided peace of mind during a power outage. The calibration process was a breeze, and customer service was helpful in explaining it. The associated Bluetti app is great, although I wish they would provide graphical data of power consumption, etc.I highly recommend this product!

Portable with a high power output.
More comprehensive review of Bluetti AC180 Power Bank, Jan 3, 2025I purchased the AC180 on Amazon on Dec 1, 2024. Price was $479 plus $49.58 in sales tax for a total of $528.58. I considered this to be a great price, lower than it appears to have ever been previously over it’s life. As of today (Jan 3, 2025) it remains at $479 when using the Amazon included coupon.The device claims to have an 1152 watt hour LiFePO4 battery. Their manual states that you need to de-rate that first by 10%, then again by another 15%. So 1152 * .9 = 1063.8 * .85 = 904.23 watt hours available (when using AC outlets via built in inverter). My testing suggests this is a pretty accurate value. Assume this has a 900 watt hour battery for planning purposes and you should be close.Overall Pros: Self contained, reasonably light weight unit with an 1800 watt continuous, 2700 watt peak, AC inverter. This is big enough to run any individual 120V appliance in my kitchen (toaster oven, microwave, coffee pot). None of those would normally be operated for more than about 5 minutes at any given time, meaning the AC180 could support their intermittent use as needed over a number of hours. It is portable and light weight enough to be moved into the kitchen when needed, and powerful enough to do the job while in there, for a while.Overal Cons: The relatively small internal battery. The other goal I had for this unit was to run my refrigerator during a power outage, and I wanted this to handle that load for 12 hours, plus intermittent heavier loads noted above for short periods of time. My fridge averages about 70 watts over time (with peaks as high as 400 watts when it goes into a de-icing cycle). So assuming a continuous 70 watt draw for 12 hours I would need 840 watt hours, very close to the maximum I could draw from the internal battery. If I added any load at all (brief use of other appliances, or even an LED light bulb), I wouldn’t make my 12 hour goal.My solution: I added an external 100 Amp Hour, 1280 Watt Hour, 12 volt LiFePO4 battery, and connected it to the Bluetti’s solar/charging input port. At 12 volts, it provided about 98 watts of input power. At 24 volts (using a 12 to 24 volt buck converter) it provided about 150 watts of input power. Using a continuous 90 watt draw (through the inverter) and the external battery supplementing the internal battery (at 12 volts), I was able to run over 16 hours and had about 10% of the internal battery remaining. Using a continuous 183 watt draw (via the inverter), and the external battery supplementing at 24 volts (150 watts), I achieved a total of 9 hours of run time (and had 3% left on the internal battery). In both cases, I drew the total 1280 watt hours from the external battery. Another con: The input charging voltage takes a hit also, it took a 107 watt draw from my external battery to produce 98 watts of charge into the AC180. So a hit on the input, and a hit on the output. With the 9 hour, 183 watt test, the overall efficiency (total input watt hours to total load watt hours) was about 77%. Acceptable, but not great. With the 16 hour 90 watt test, the efficiency was about 69%, a bit poorer than with the higher load. Internal inverter inefficiency regardless of how much load is applied took a greater hit with the lower load.Bottom line: Despite the not really great efficiency, I’m happy with the Bluetti. I’ve built a couple of my own “solar generators”, none of which matched the Bluetti for size, weight, and capability in a single package. By adding the external 12V 100AH battery, I’ve given the AC180 the run time I’m looking for with it. Individually, the AC180 and the external battery, are very portable and can be paired at the needed location. With the pair, I can use this in my kitchen to run my fridge for an extended period of time while also using some heavy draw appliances briefly from time to time. Also, this combination is much more cost effective than the newer AC180 V2 with the larger battery. I paid $150 for the external battery.

Works Great!
I live in an area with a lot of power outages, and my 500w power pack works fine for things like modem, phone charger, lamp, and keeping the fridge running, but it’s not powerful enough to run my coffee maker or toaster.This Bluetti — which I literally had to use the day after it arrived — runs my coffee maker and my toaster oven just fine. A full pot of coffee and a toasted bagel used up a good bit of the juice, but this charges up super fast on an outlet (took it to work with me to recharge it), from about 30% to 100% charged in less than 30 minutes.I like that they put the accessories/charges/etc in their own box so that I’m not losing them, nor am I not knowing what they are for.I plan on purchasing a battery pack or two and the solar panels for this eventually, as I found this to be a solid purchase, and well worth the money for being able to make fresh coffee alone. :DIt does have some weight to it, so factor that in if you’re thinking of purchasing one. The solid built in handles work fine to grab onto, and I don’t think there is any danger of them breaking.I did buy outlet safety covers for this, as I have pets and a lot of dust where I am. A nice future feature would be an attached cover like there is for the outlet jack, but the plastic safety covers will work fine.

Very nice product.
So far have not found anything yet I dislike. The price was within my budget and so far it is working like it should. So far I have tried it with c-pap machine on both the ac and dc sides works great on either side but last longer on the dc side. Will put it to the test when camping season get here or we have a power outage this winter. Looking forward to using it then. Thank you Bluetti for such a nice product.

Bluetti 🔋 Power
This power station is a life changing camping experience for me. It performed reliably with no issues while camping in freezing temperatures. Kept the communication devices charged the whole week. Charged well with my Renegy 200 watt solar panel.

I’ve had the machine for two weeks and have tested all of the features. It is everything that Bluetti claims it to be. It looks and feels like a quality device and it’s not too heavy (~16kg/35.27lbs) to take car camping.The UPS function actually works, even on devices with an electronic power button (such as a desktop PC) and that is unlike the emergency power source (EPS) system on a competitive model from another popular brand.I do wish the built in MPPT controller could handle more input current from solar. It is difficult to get close to the maximum 500W input from solar because of the input current limitation of 10A. 15A (like it can handle on AC) would be ideal on a machine in this class; however, a more robust MPPT controller and heavier gauge wiring would be required and that would increase the cost slightly.My only other wish for the AC180 would be rubber port caps for all ports, including the USB ports. If you charge the internal batteries outdoors with solar, dust and debris can collect in the ports. I purchased some vanilla port covers to take care of that, but they are not attached to the device so I may lose a few.The cooling fan does kick in when it is charging or discharging at a high rate but the sound is not as high pitched as it is on competing models. It isn’t quiet, but it isn’t horrible either.I downloaded the phone App to update the firmware. I don’t normally use phone Apps, but it was necessary in this case because you cannot update it with a jump drive or a PC. It works. I do wish you could set the display screen time out in the App. 30 seconds is okay, but when you are trying to optimize the position of your solar panels to maximize the input watts it would be nice to have the choice, rather than pushing the power button to turn the timed out display back on.Over all, an excellent machine and a good value if you can purchase it on sale for ~$1000. It will run a fridge over night in an emergency and has a large enough inverter (pure sine wave) to run almost anything for a short duration.

Used this a few times and I am really satisfied with it. The 200W solar panel does a great job in direct sunlight not taking long to charge (from 50% to 100%). Great piece of kit that I recommend to anyone. My brother saw it in action and now he wants one. I used power tools off it, accidentally left it on and still kept its charge. When on sale great value for your money. Not sure how it will handle the elements but seems durable for indoor use and outside not in the rain/snow etc

Charges quickly, ran my furnace for 8 hrs while power was out, I just put plug end on the furnace and plugged it in.

Used it while building our new house. We powered our 160 square foot bunkie with it using the solar panels and when we had no sun we charged it with a generator. The one gotcha we had to deal with is that we had to purchase a new inverter generator as that is the only type of generator that is compatible with this unit.
