Bluetti shows us a unique new portable power solution in its 2024 International CES booth, and it has to do with space-saving, hot-swappable batteries. The AC180T packs two slots, each holding a 716 Wh solid-state battery. The battery has a grab-handle on top, and can be swapped out during operation. The grab handle has a basic LED-based charge state read-out. This solution saves you from having to lug a second enclosed battery expansion pack. Rather just carry several of these battery modules, and swap them out as needed. The AC180T delivers 1.8 kVA over four AC connectors, a number of USB-C and USB-A power delivery ports; and a 120 W DC car port. The unit supports fast-charging over an AC power source, but also takes in DC solar. The AC240 lacks battery hot-swapping, but features a single enclosed 1536 Wh battery, and can deliver 2.4 kVA. The AC240 has its claim to fame being IP65 water resistance, and concealed connectors.

BLUETTI, the leader in the clean energy storage industry, will launch its new AC60 & B80, the smallest solar generator with expandability, in the middle of May, 2023. The latest innovation comes as BLUETTI noticed a gap in its market: Though there are many power stations, small ones comes with less capacity while high capacity comes in big and heavy structure. What about a power station that combines flexibility and extensible capacity to meet different needs in different scenarios? Enter the BLUETTI AC60 and B80!

The BLUETTI AC60 is a solar generator with a 600 W inverter and a 403 Wh LFP battery that can add B80 for capacity boosting. With a compact size (11.4 x 8.1 x 9.2 inches) and lightweight (18.9 lbs), it is portable enough to carry outdoors. Equipped with 7 different outlets including two AC outputs, one USB-C port with Power Delivery with up to 100 W, one cigarette lighter port, two USB-A ports and a wireless charging pad, the AC60 can charge various devices. While it features a 600 W pure sine wave inverter, it is able to carry a device of 1200 W for a short period in its Power Lifting Mode.

Unleash Outdoor Possibilities with the BLUETTI AC60 Solar Power Generator

Smart battery generators were a recurring theme this CES. These are devices with large batteries—usually lithium ion—connected to an integrated sine-wave AC inverter, and other goodies such as direct low-voltage DC charging points for all your devices. These come in pretty handy as a replacement for small gas-powered gensets you take along for camping, as the battery drains much slower than the genset burns fuel at its lowest-load state; and many of these batteries include a means to recharge with solar power, using portable, foldable PV panels.
