Bluetti’s AC300 and B300 Combo Provides True Power Versatility and Reliability

This content was produced in partnership with Bluetti.

When it comes to preparing for power-related events, like outages, situations where you might need portable power options, and general usage, you really need some flexible and versatile solutions at your disposal. The more manageable the gear, the more opportunities you have to adapt to current events. For example, let’s say your power goes out for a few days to a week. Having a portable power solution will certainly help, but also one that can be recharged via solar energy, reliably, with just a panel or two, will significantly improve your quality of life during that period. Even if the power doesn’t come back on in time, you can recharge the station to keep fueling your modern living needs. It doesn’t just stop there. Yes, it’s great to have backup options in a time of need, but it’s also great to just have a handy solution for whatever arises. Maybe you need to power your tools to do some work in the backyard or a workshop, but don’t want to run an extension cord? Boom, the portable power solution will help. What if you have a music gig coming up in a remote park or location but need to power your instruments, microphone, and lighting? Cue the portable power solution. There are a lot of different scenarios where having a power device can change the game.

That’s precisely what Bluetti is offering with its AC300 and B300 expansion batteries, which offer 3,072 watt-hours of power per battery. You can recharge them via a traditional wall socket, car outlet, or lead-acid battery, but also via solar with a 2,400-watt maximum loading scale thanks to integrated smart MPPT or Maximum Power Point Tracking technology. They’re portable, lightweight, and modular, as you can expand the system with more batteries at any time to increase capacity. Plus, you can use them to power nearly everything, from electronics and small appliances to lighting and beyond. To learn a little more about why they’re so versatile together and as a system, keep reading.

Power When and Where You Need It Most

If you’re looking to snag one of the world’s best off-grid power stations, as a van dweller, explorer, or homeowner — in need of an emergency backup power supply — one of the top options is Bluetti’s combo that includes the AC300 power station with B300 backup batteries. Together, they form a highly capable and expandable power solution, for home or away, with a multitude of ways to charge the devices, and a system that doubles as a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) home backup system. If the power flickers or goes out, your gear will remain powered on, like your work laptop, so you can save your work and shut down, or continue working if that’s what you need to do. Starting with a 3,072 watt-hour capacity, plus an additional 3,072 watt-hours per battery, the system is expandable up to 12,288 watt-hours total across four B300 batteries. That means you can fully customize the capacity, expanding at any time when you realize you need more power, meeting a variety of needs. For example, with a single B300 battery attached, the AC300 can run a 1,500-watt heat for 1.7 hours, or a 1,000-watt washing machine for 2.6 hours.

The LiFePO4 battery technology is reliable, long-lasting, and greener than comparable types of batteries like NMC and lead-acid batteries commonly seen in some other power stations. It supports up to 3,500 lifecycles (charge and discharge) with up to seven ways to charge it back up. You can charge via AC, solar, a generator, lead-acid batteries, dual AC, AC and solar together, and via car ports. It supports a 2,400-watt max solar input, with 5,400-watt maximum fast dual charging while connected to AC and solar simultaneously.  The inverter can adjust the charging rate from 1,800 watts to 3,000 watts via outlets, allowing for faster recharge times and better power delivery. All of it makes for a highly capable solution that you can use at home, while living out of a van or vehicle, or even just camping.

It’s time for a new kind of portable power: Yoshino B4000 SST

Portable power stations are seeing something of a renaissance right now in terms of popularity, performance, and capabilities. As brands explore what makes them so practical, the rest of the world prepares for the inevitable. Energy, or electricity, is growing increasingly more expensive while at the same time becoming less reliable. Between strains on the general power grid, natural disasters, and inordinate costs, many people are understandably looking for alternatives, especially those living off the grid. Portable power stations are a fantastic answer to this problem, with some meant to replace traditional generators as full-home backup solutions and others offering portable power -- systems that can be used anywhere and that are more sustainable. At the forefront of that change is a new solid-state battery technology, and Yoshino is the first to launch the technology into portable power stations and solar generators.

Solid-state batteries are impressive for their advanced properties and functionality. For starters, they're smaller and lighter in weight than your average lithium-ion battery. This allows for a lighter, smaller cell in a more manageable frame, which translates to better portability. They also have a longer lifespan and more power, so they can deliver up to 2.5 times the energy density of standard Li-Ion batteries, meaning higher capacities and performance. Finally, they use a solid electrolyte which makes them much safer overall.
