With a diverse portfolio of eco-friendly power stations, solar panels, and batteries, BLUETTI provides clean renewable energy accessible and convenient for users worldwide. Trusted by millions across 100 countries, BLUETTI continuously impresses with its focus on high-quality, innovative technology, and sustainable future.
Introducing the BLUETTI AC60
The BLUETTI AC60 is more than just a power solution; it’s a beacon of modern-day technology and sustainability. Crafted as a compact yet robust solar generator, the AC60 packs a 600W inverter and a 403Wh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery into a tight, user-friendly package. This compact energy station has an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, making it the ideal companion for both indoor and outdoor endeavors.
This tiny but mighty AC60 is significantly upgraded to be water resistant and dust-proof, aside from adopting the most reliable LiFePO4 battery. With the unique air duct system, innovative confined space design, well-sealed plugs and patented AC outlets, liquid and dust can hardly enter. Those have made the AC60 stronger and stand out with an industry-leading warranty.
The strength of the AC60 lies in its unique features and performance. With four versatile charging methods – adapter, car, solar, and generator charging – and a 600W AC Turbocharging feature that powers the unit from 0 to 80% in just 45 minutes, the AC60 is as dynamic as it is powerful. Its operation is silent and unobtrusive at 45dB, ensuring that it doesn’t disrupt the calm of confined spaces.
Equipped with seven different outlets, the AC60 can power various devices simultaneously. It showcases an intuitive color LCD screen that provides helpful information, including battery status. Furthermore, the unit supports remote control and real-time management via the BLUETTI App, elevating the user experience to new heights.
The B80 Expansion Battery: A Perfect Complement
To boost the capabilities of the AC60, BLUETTI has designed the B80 Expansion Battery. With the same reliable LFP cells offering over 3000 cycles, two B80 units can expand the AC60’s capacity to a staggering 2,015Wh. Interestingly, the B80 can also function independently as a DC power source, offering three ports: USB-A, USB-C, and a car outlet. Like the AC60, the B80 is reliable, safe, and comes with a 6-year warranty for added peace of mind.
