Why choose this backup power station?

A bad power outage can last for days or even weeks. But, according to BLUETTI’s Kickstarter page, most portable batteries don’t offer much help in these situations. They support only low-power appliances and have a short lifespan. The BLUETTI EP500, however, is a large-capacity battery and gives you a large output of power with its fusion panel terminal board that doubles its power. It provides 240 V—4,000 W—of energy that can power machines like electric clothes dryers, space heaters, air conditioners, and electric stoves. So it’s one powerful gadget, and that’s what makes it such a cool gadget in 2021.

Charge the BLUETTI EP500 in four ways

You’ll never feel stranded when you know that you can power this device in pretty much any situation. Let’s look at the ways.

From the wall

Yes, you can totally charge the BLUETTI EP500 from your wall socket. Just use the included AC charging cable to recharge the battery pack through the AC input port. How long it takes to charge depends on the voltage and ampere of your wall socket.

From the sun

Otherwise, look to the sun for help. The BLUETTI EP500 has a solar input and MPPT control of up to 1,200 W. In fact, with the help of solar, this gadget can reach a full charge in about 4.75 hours. According to the company’s Kickstarter page, MPPT stands for Maximum Power Point Tracker. A unit comes preinstalled on the BLUETTI EP500 and offers up to 40% faster charging than a standard charging port. Best of all, you’ll see the most significant efficiency gains when you charge with it.

From AC + solar charging & dual AC charging

If you want even faster charging, that’s not a problem with this backup battery system. Just recharge it with the AC + PV input port simultaneously, and you’ll get up to 4,000 W input power. Otherwise, you could also recharge the BLUETTI EP500 via the dual AC power simultaneously.

Feel secure with an uninterruptible power supply

Even short power outages can lead to lost data or cause damage to things like your home theater. But, thankfully, the BLUETTI EP500 can serve as an automatic backup power supply, so you don’t have to go through that pain. That’s thanks to its two modes. The Flexible UPS mode allows you to use the device as a plug-and-play anywhere power supply. Meanwhile, the Fixed UPS requires a licensed electrician to install the BLUETTI UPS box. This creates a circuit that connects your BLUETTI EP500 to your home’s main switchboard and keeps your most important appliances connected to this backup power supply.

Manage this portable battery station with the app

It’s easy to manage this power source with its app. There, you can monitor and control your power from anywhere. Use it to remotely control power in and out and receive real-time power consumption notifications. Plus, the charging profiles help you get the most out of your battery life. And, best of all, the app also gives you access to the latest firmware updates, so your BLUETTI EP500 can always have the most recent capabilities.

Get multiple charging options

This backup battery system gives you plenty of power options thanks to its seven ports. There are four 2,000 W AC ports that run any machine that you could from a wall outlet. That includes RVs and trailers as well as devices for worksites, outdoor events, and more. You also get a 12 V cigarette lighter, two wireless charging ports, a 100 W USB-C port, two USB-A ports, and two fast-charging ports. That’s quite a host of options, so, come what may, you’ll have plenty of connection choices with the BLUETTI EP500.

Reduce your electricity bill with this backup power station

Yes, it’s possible to reduce your electricity bill with the BLUETTI EP500. That’s because it can help you manage your power more efficiently. For instance, you could charge the device during off-peak hours when electricity prices are lower. Later, during peak hours, you could use the power station to charge your laptop and other items for your home office.

Make your power portable

You won’t be stuck in one location with this backup battery system. The company designed it with four wheels for easy portability. So, if you want to cart it from your home to the campsite, you can. Likewise, if you want to move it from your workstation to the backyard, it’s not complicated.
