The manufacturer of power stations BLUETTI has in the AC500 a great alternative to the AC300 model, whose background in the market has made it an important option. After its debut on Indiegogo, with funding in excess of 12 million dollars, it has broken the record for collection in terms of devices of this nature.
This is going to bring a new station that will feed any device that goes through one of its many available connections, the price difference will be more than 1.500 euros, it can make people doubt and you come to wonder if it is worth changing the AC300, and the specific answer is yes, both for its power and for being able to use it in cold climates at fairly low temperatures.
Use a fast charging speed
BLUETTI AC300 has a rate that reaches 5.400 watts, all this with the two B300 battery packs that will be required, which will be achieved thanks to the electrical outlet and solar panels simultaneously. The AC500 goes a step further with a charging speed that is 2.600W higher as it reaches 8.000W.
This goes so far as to mean that it is an AC500 system with 2 B300S battery packs going from 0 to 80 percent charge in just under about 40 minutes, which is truly remarkable and the fastest of both the brand and its competitors in the current market. In addition, the built-in long-lasting LiFePO4 battery cell ensures that users do not have to worry about potential issues that may arise during fast charging.
Same size, though very different energy
The BLUETTI AC500 presents some other improvement compared to its predecessor, on the AC300, in capacity and of course, in characteristics in a concrete way. While the AC300 adds a 3000W sine wave inverter for continuous output power.
As for the AC500, it has raised the bar to about 5000 W to adapt to much higher power demands in our day to day. Additionally, the AC300 can be paired with up to 4 B300 battery packs. for a total capacity of 12.288 Wh, while the AC500 can support up to 6 x B300S for a maximum capacity of 18.432 Wh or 4 x B300 for about 12.288 Wh. Without a doubt, plenty of power for the most common tasks of our day to day, at home or away.
More than important updates
The BLUETTI B300 and B300S are expansion battery packs They offer a versatile power source for several devices at the same time, important if we have several things and need alternative energy. While they can be used as standalone power sources, the B300S has been upgraded with a known maximum solar input of around 500W to reduce charging time. This is essential if you want, for example, to have a microwave, charge several phones and other utilities.
As for the B300S, it is designed with self-heating capability which has AI to improve usage performance at low temperature and greatly extend the life of the LiFePO4 battery. In colder temperatures, it may take some time for the AC500 to wake up and function actively without interruption.
The B300S can warm up responsively even when ambient temperatures it is so low, reaching 20 degrees, which ensures that the AC500 system runs smoothly during the colder months. With this major upgrade, the B300S is an ideal choice for users who want reliable energy storage and highly efficient charging capabilities.
Capacity, important in the AC500
To B300S expansion pack batteries, this AC500 power device it is also compatible with the B300 model of expansion batteries. This means that users of the AC300 and B300 system can expect 170% of current power simply by purchasing the new AC500 main unit instead of having to replace the entire system.
Any user does not have to worry about choosing the right battery pack at that moment, since both the B300 and B300S can be combined in an AC500 system at any time, allowing a total of up to four packs, giving enough power. The consumer does not have to upgrade their power system as long as they continue to use their equipment.
Is the AC300 worth it?
With an input and output power of 3000 watts, with an expansion power of 24,6 kWh, the AC300 remains one of the perfect power devices for most uses and can cover more than 90% of the AC500's capacities, specifically 95% of it.
Taking into account the difference in price, a total of more than €1.800, sometimes the difference can be greater depending on what you buy, if two or four batteries, the AC300 may be a cheaper option for users who will not require extreme performance.
The AC500 would be a better choice for people who live in fairly icy areas., since it offers greater power and more efficient download and upload rates without a doubt. Ultimately, the choice between the two models will depend on the needs and the requirements you need, giving the AC500 a greater power consumption, but both models are valid for living together.
