The Bluetti AC180 has two 1800W AC outlets, super fast 1440W mains charging and a 1152Wh long lasting LiFePO4 battery. This is a mid-sized power station - probably the best size of unit for a lot of people if you have the funds - it’s powerful enough to run almost anything and still fairly portable. I’ll compare it to my current favourite option in this category - the EcoFlow Delta 2.

These power stations are perfect for power cuts, camping, travel and festivals and around the house and out and about to charge all your tech. And the AC180 can charge at up to 500W off solar panels alone when mains isn’t available.

I’ll run through its capabilities and thoroughly test all its claims to help you decide if this is the right power station for you. So let’s take a closer look.
