Bluetti is well known for its high quality yet affordable power stations and solar generators, and right now one of its most popular models is on sale. For this week only (and probably shorter), AliExpress is offering a brand new Bluetti AC180 1,152Wh 1,800W LiFePO4 Power Station for just $311.94 with free shipping after $40 off coupon code "SSUS40". An even better deal is the refurbished model, which is currently $286.53 shipped after same code. They're sold through Bluetti's official storefront and ships locally (and quickly) from warehouses in the United States.
These are phenomenal deals considering the exact same power station costs $499 on Amazon. Once these deals expire (the prices go up after a certain quota has been met), I don't expect to see them again until Black Friday.
Bluetti AC180 1,152Wh 1,800 Power Station as Low as $287
The Bluetti AC180 weighs in at 35 pounds, which is pretty light considering the fact that there's a 1,152Wh LiFePO4 battery array contained within. This is more than enough capacity for short-term off-grid use where portability is a priority, and as a quick source of backup power for your home when you don't want to cart out the big gas generator. It will charge your phone, handheld gaming PCs, and even laptops for days and your gaming PC, refrigerator, or an electric grill for hours.
The AC180 has numerous charging outputs, including four 120V AC outlets capable of 1,80W (2,700W surge), one 100W USB Type-C port, four 15W USB Type-A ports, a 12V/10A DC output, and even a wireless charging pad for your MagSafe smartphone. The AC180 features smart functionality and you can monitor and control it remotely with the Bluetti app.
In terms of charging, you have several options: typical AC charging through your home outlet or a gas generator, car charging through your DC output, or solar charging. The AC180 supports turbo charging so you can recharge from fully depleted to 80% in about 45 minutes of charging time or 60% in 30 minutes.
Speaking of the battery, the AC180 uses LiFePO4 cells instead of NCM cells you'd find in some other budget power stations. LiFePO4 cells have inherently safer chemistry, longer lifespan, and slower calendar aging than NCM cells. They are widely regarded as the best battery option for power stations.
Need something smaller? The Bluetti AC70 is also on sale.
AliExpress also has the Bluetti AC70 768Wh 1,000W LiFePO4 Power Station for the lowest price I've seen this year. , which is currently available for $238.78 after $40 off coupon code "SSUS40". (currently sells for $329 on Amazon).
The AC70 is more compact, weighing in at 22.5 pounds, with a smaller 768Wh LiFePO4 battery array contained within it. Charging ports include two 120V AC outlets capable of 1,00W (2,000W surge) each, two 100W USB Type-C ports, two 12W USB Type-A ports, and a 12V/10A DC output.
