The experts in portable and solar energy solutions continue to demonstrate why BLUETTI<\/a> is the name to beat. After wowing us last summer with one of the most powerful modular power stations ever made, BLUETTI is pushing the limits of mobile energy once again with the new AC500 portable power station<\/a>. Combined with several B300S expansion batteries, this modular system can deliver over 18,000Wh of energy. You\u2019d have to make a serious effort to use up all that capacity.<\/p>\n

Introducing the BLUETTI AC500 portable power station<\/h2>\n

In case you weren\u2019t already aware, the BLUETTI brand is one of the most prominent names in mobile energy solutions. Its range of eco-friendly products has expanded to over seventy countries around the globe, complete with power stations, battery backups, and solar generators that offer portable energy for a multitude of scenarios \u2013 all at prices that fit any budget.<\/p>\n

In July 2021, BLUETTI revealed the modular AC300 solar power station which was joined by the B300 LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery module. Not long after, that system became quite popular <\/a>across the entire portable solar storage industry. <\/p>\n

One year later, BLUETTI is at it again with an even more powerful successor. Introducing the BLUETTI AC500+B300S combo<\/a>, which will make its official release on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo. <\/p>\n

By adding just one B300S expansion battery, the AC500 combo delivers 3,072Wh of power right out of the gate. As a versatile and modular system, there is tons more room for expansion as you\u2019ll see below. There are a lot of tremendous specs to unfold here, so let\u2019s dig in.<\/p>\n

BLUETTI AC500 Specs<\/h2>\n

The BLUETTI AC500 is a portable power station that is 100% modular but does require expansion batteries to function. It can seamlessly connect to both B300 and B300S batteries to offer varying capacities to suit any and all energy needs.<\/p>\n

As a stand-alone power station, the AC500 has some intuitive functions<\/a> and an array of features to ensure you keep any and all devices powered, no matter where you are.<\/p>\n

To begin, its 5,000W pure sine wave inverter provides massive output and is bolstered by 10,000W surge power to boot. Its max input is 6,000W with 1 x B300S battery and 8,000W with two or more B300S packs. This includes AC and solar inputs simultaneously.<\/p>\n

Other features include the ability to recharge and discharge simultaneously, plus app control using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, which also offers the ability for over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates. With the AC500, you have sixteen ports delivering nine different charging methods to your fingertips, offering any plug you need.<\/p>\n

The most impressive feature of the BLUETTI AC500 combo could very well be its modularity. You can expand the station with up to six B300S batteries and can even double up again from there. (More on that below.) Here are some other pertinent specs on the AC500:<\/p>\n
