With the BLUETTI AC500, power outage problems will be a thing of the past

While we’d like to think that we won’t have to worry about blackouts too often, the reality is that they’ve become significantly more common than they were a few years ago. As a result, it’s more important than ever to have a backup solution to provide temporary power for your devices and appliances, especially in situations where the weather is particularly rough and temperatures are dangerously high or low. 

One of the best tools you can use for this are battery-powered power stations, and the upcoming BLUETTI AC500 — along with its B300S companion batteries — looks like it’s going to be one of the top options available for power outage survival when it releases later in 2022. Between its high power output, large battery capacity, wide variety of ports, and compact size, the new power station will give you everything you need to endure a blackout. 

More than anything else, what stands out the most about the BLUETTI AC500 is just how much power it’s capable of putting out, as well as how high of a maximum battery capacity it has. Its 5000W pure sine converter makes it possible to provide electricity to any high-power device or appliance that you hook up to it, and since you can connect up to six 3,072Wh B300S batteries to the station, you can enjoy a massive maximum capacity of 18,432Wh. This guarantees that you’ll be able to keep essential electronics running for significant periods of time, which is incredibly valuable during extended outages. Notably, the AC500 is Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) capable, as it starts providing power to connected devices in just 20 milliseconds after the start of a blackout. You also get plenty of charging options; when you need to juice the station up, you can do so using a wall outlet, solar panels, your car’s cigarette lighter port, a lead-acid battery, or a generator. The AC500 charges to 80% within an hour, too, so you won’t have to wait long to charge up between uses.
