BLUETTI is a leader in the market for portable energy storage choices. Its latest product, the AC60, was launched in Australia in early June. With a 600W inverter and a 403Wh LFP battery, the AC60 offers fast charging, convenient portability, and the ability to expand its capacity with the B80. I recently put the AC60 Portable Power Station through its paces.

A brief overview of the AC60

The AC60 has been built for outdoor adventures and adventurers. It supplies a massive 600W of power from its 403Wh LFP battery. This compact (290mm x 205mm x 234mm) unit weighs 9.1kg.

This gives the AC60 a robust feel, essential for outdoor use. Also, it is IP65-rated, meaning that it protects against most weather elements. This is a game-changing addition by BLUETTI.

This device has seven different outlets, which include two AC outputs, one USB-C port with power delivery capable of providing up to 100W, one cigarette lighter port, two USB-A ports, and a wireless charging pad.

The AC60 is capable of charging various types of devices. It has a 600W inverter and can temporarily handle devices up to 1,200W in Power Lifting Mode.

Let's take a closer look at what's included in the box

  • There is, of course, the AC60 itself. This compact mid-size unit is excellent for easy portability (290mm x 205mm x 234mm).
  • A standard 2-Year warranty card and a 1-year warranty for cables and accessories.
  • However, BLUETTI provides an industry-leading 6-year warranty, which you will find displayed on the product website AC60.
  • User Manual. Have a good look through this before you get started.
  • Solar Panel Input connection - 200W maximum. You will need to purchase the solar panels separately; however, they easily plug in and operate as a very effective power source.
  • AC Input connection – 600W maximum. This offers super-fast charging.
  • Car cigarette power adaptor. Again this is an easy plug-in process.

IP65 rating weatherproofing

The AC60 has an IP65 rating, a significant advancement over previous models. It means you can use it anywhere outdoors or while camping without worrying about the weather.

The AC60 is a reliable companion for outdoor adventures, with the IP65 rating ensuring better protection against water, dust, and sand.

Expandable storage capabilities

The AC60 has a great companion in the B80 expansion battery for those longer adventures. This will boost your power option by 806Wh and significantly change your off-grid capabilities. The B80 has been created for the AC60, however, it will work with other BLUETTI storage units, including EB3A, EB70, EB55 and AC180. The B80 offers amazing flexibility.

Multiple and simultaneous charging

There are plenty of charging options for a multitude of devices simultaneously. With two USB-A outlets, one USB-C 100W fast-charge output, two AC output outlets, and a 15W wireless charging pad positioned on the top of the unit. There is more than enough to go around.

Easy monitoring

The AC60 is designed to be easy to use with its advanced technology. It has a colour LCD screen that provides helpful information such as battery level, remaining charge/discharge time, input/output power, and more. You can also use the BLUETTI App to monitor and control the charging process from anywhere, making it convenient to manage even when you're not nearby.

Faster charging with innovation.

I was particularly impressed with the AC60's fast charging and quietness during the charging process. It arrived with 48% charged, and I fully charged it in just 40 minutes, which is a great improvement over other units I've tested. I was also pleased with the performance of the car charger.

BLUETTI indicates that AC cable charging will take 1 hour, and Solar panel charging will take 2.5 hours.  

The AC60 has an innovative ECO mode that automatically switches off to conserve energy when no devices are connected. It can also adjust AC and DC outputs separately for smaller appliances, ranging from 10 to 30W and 5 to 20W, respectively, through the BLUETTI App. This reduces energy consumption and allows a run time of one to four hours. Additionally, it has an ultra-low standby loss when not in use.

More pros than cons

There are plenty of pros.

Pros:

  • The AC60 is well-designed, with all the outlets and ports front-facing and easily accessible.
  • The 15W wireless charging pad on top of the unit is convenient and a smart use of space.
  • USB-C 100W fast-charge outlet – this is very handy and widely used.
  • 2 x USB ports – these also get a lot of use.
  • The 2 x AC output charging outlets – offers plenty of options.
  • I liked the fact that you can charge the battery with both solar and AC power at the same time.
  • Including a large light with three separate modes is an excellent inclusion.
Cons:

I am struggling to find any real issues.

  • The device weighs 9.1kg and feels solid, making it difficult to tip over. However, it may feel heavy if you need to carry it for a long time.

Looking for the ideal outdoor power storage partner?

Look no further! If you're planning an off-the-grid adventure, the AC60 is the perfect companion for the trip. With a 600W inverter, 403Wh, LFP battery, and 1200W real lifting power, it will easily power your camping fridge, freezer, ice maker, mobile phone, laptop computer, lights, and many more.

If you want to extend your off-grid adventure, the AC60 with the B80 expansion battery will boost your capacity to 1200Wh. These are perfect companions for your coming adventures.

I would recommend the AC60 for all off-the-grid adventures. I am a fan.

The Bluetti AC60 retails for $899.00 as part of the current Super Early Bird offer. This offer is ending soon, so hurry.

If you want to bundle up the B80 expansion battery, there is a special offer for $899, a $100 saving off the regular $999 price.

Remember, don’t leave home without your BLUETTI AC60 and if you want to push it up a notch, grab the B80 as well,
