Power outages are never convenient, but when they hit during a deep winter freeze, they can be downright dangerous. The ability to recharge your essential devices during a winter emergency is critical, and a powerful and reliable portable generator like the Bluetti AC180 is a must-have accessory. Amazon’s running a huge limited-time deal on the Bluetti AC180 right now — it’s over half off at just $459.
The Bluetti AC180 is a great go-to when you need power quickly — when connected to an AC outlet it can charge from 0 to 80% in just 45 minutes, and it can also recharge from a car port in 2.5 hours, and if you buy the Bluetti 200W Solar Panel (sold separately), you can sustainably recharge the AC180 via solar power in about 3 hours.
Stay Connected
The Bluetti AC180 is ideal for keeping all of the devices that you use to get news and important information charged and running even when the power is out. A 65W laptop will run for up to 12 hours when connected to the Bluetti AC180, and a combination of a 55-inch OLED TV, Wi-Fi router, and 10W lamp will run concurrently for between 6 or 7 hours when connected.
Running or charging multiple devices is easy when you have 11 available ports — the Bluetti AC180 has four AC outlets, 4 USB-A ports, 1 USB-C port, a car outlet, and even a 15W wireless charging pad. It packs all of these power sources into a compact body that measures 12.5 inches tall, 13.4 wide, and 9.7 deep, and weighs a manageable 35.3 pounds with two sturdy built-in handles.
Buy Now, Use for Years
The rechargeable LFP battery at the heart of the Bluetti AC180 is built for the long haul. It has over 3,500 full charging cycles of life, which translates roughly to a 10-year lifespan. Bluetti gives full coverage on the device for 5 years.
And while keeping the Bluetti close at hand in case of emergency is a solid plan, don’t be shy about taking it on the go. It’s an amazing companion on camping trips if you’d rather not completely rough it — add the solar panel for days of sustainable power — and it’s ideal for RV trips.
The 4.5-star-rated Bluetti AC180 normally sells for $999, but this limited-time Amazon deal shaves a full 54% from that price, making it a smart buy at just $459. It’s the kind of buy that even if it saves you during a power outage only once, it will have paid for itself, and all of the other times you put it to work are gravy.
