BLUETTI Portable Power Station AC180, 1152Wh LiFePO4 Battery Backup w/ 2 1800W (2700W peak) AC Outlets, 0-80% in 45Min., Solar Generator for Camping, Off-grid, Power Outage

Does what it says on the tin and so versatile. Connected inside the garage of my motorhome and runs all the 230v socks as required. Will run the microwave which has a draw of around 1400 watts when running. 2 minutes of 800w microwave uses around 5 - 6% of the storage capacity of the AC180. Charges from a 12v cigarette socket at around 80-100 watts.. 230V charging has 3 modes, silent, normal and fast. I picked this over the Jackery 1000 V2 (which has very similar specs, and similar price) mainly due to the built in handles which for me made it easier for storage in the motorhome garage, also, whilst the Jackery was smaller, it was also only 10KG vs the 16Kg of the Bluetti AC180, I was suspicious of what Jackery left out to make it so light. Bonus, Bluetti has excellent customer service via Amazon messaging. I had a problem after about 2 months where the 12v cable would not charge the AC180. I contacted Bluetti via Amazon, they requested a photo (probably to make sure they sent the correct item) and sent out a new replacement cable free of charge and very quickly. Communication throughout was excellent. I would heartly recommend them. and YES, I did buy it with my own money :)

Brilliant. Did some research and this make came out very well. I bought primarily for a bit of off-grid camping/shepherd Hut accommodation while I was travelling Scotland mountain biking. Some places didn't have power and I needed to recharge my eMTB. Fully charged this unit recharges my light weight eMTB 3 times (5%-100% - x3). works well with a car fridge as well when being recharged from the car between rides. Charges my phone, action camera and Drone batteries Whats not to like..

I bought it for my garage and it’s working great I powered many electric tools and old metal lathe the power station didn’t let me down. Problem I had it’s wen I left it in 20% for one month I meant didn’t use it it drained it self to 0% and the unit didn’t start again and refused to take any charge… It’s not acceptable for so expensive units where saying that there is discharge and overcharge protection to go so low in discharge and make the unit stop working. Solution for this problem is only 2, first to send it back and let them to repair it or repair it yourself. To repair it yourself you will need to dissemble the unit get the battery out and charge it separately till it get enough power to start and then it will start working and will let you charge it and use it. Many people get the same problem but no one saying it here in the comment. As I say, this is great power station but be careful when charging and discharge the unit because the fault is not acceptable it will kill your battery. I Hope the information will have someone.

excellent machine just bought forth one for off grid living

5/5 – The Best Investment I've Made for Power Freedom! Bluetti AC180 – This thing is an absolute BEAST! I've had my Bluetti AC180 for sometime now and I can honestly say it's one of the smartest purchases I've made in years. Here's why I'm completely taken with it:Insane real-world capacity – 1152Wh feels like 1400+Wh compared to most competitors. It just keeps going and going. 1800W continuous + 2700W Power Lifting mode – Runs my 2000W kettle (yes, it really does), coffee machine, microwave, hair dryer, small AC unit… no drama, no shutdowns, no drama queen beeping. Lightning-fast charging – 0–80% in ~45 minutes with AC + solar combined. I can literally wake up, plug it in while having breakfast, and it's almost full before I finish my coffee. Super quiet – Even at 1000–1400W load you can barely hear it. Perfect for working/gaming in the same room. Build quality feels premium – Solid, heavy (in a good way), all ports are nicely spaced, nothing feels cheap or wobbly. I did have one issue upgrading the firmware, which stopped the bluetooth connection, but their customer support team sorted this in no time, with a pre-paid label to return and they turned it around super fast, back in a few working days, with lots of comms on progress. This is how customer support should be done!!!

Disappointed with the Bluetti ac180 to be honest. The capacity display is inaccurate and the actual capacity seems a lot less than the claimed 1152wh, by my calculations. For example, I ran my TV which draws no more than 80W, on the AC180 which was fully charged before I turned it on. The following are the elapsed hours and capacity remaining indicated on the unit: 2 hours - 69% 4 hours - 38% 6 hours - 9% 7 hours - 1% 9 hours - 1% 10.5 hours shut down So that's 80w appliance running for 10.5 hours.... Over 3 hours run at an indicated 1% charge. I have tried the 'reset' recommended by bluetti but the issue persists. I can only conclude that the unit I purchased is unfit for the purpose it was designed for.

I've had the unit for a year and used it intermittently, especially when travelling in my van. The big issue is a 3% drop in charge per hour when the AC is on, but nothing is connected to the AC. This means the battery loses 70% of its capacity in 24 hours, even though I haven't run any of my appliances (WiFi router, laptop charger, etc). Where does the lost power go? Since I keep it under the van seat, it's not practical to reach under to turn the AC on and off. This makes it unsuitable for vanlife due to this high self-discharge.

Although it’s a nice looking unit with a decent array of sockets, I ran a 17W AC device from it (allowing also for the 15W self consumption), for 16 hours and the power unit only had 18% battery left (8% really because the DOD recommendation is not to discharge lower than 10%). The device was a resistive load so didn’t have any surge demand on the battery. If we had a power cut this unit would be depleted very quickly. Very disappointed.
