If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to grab a powerful, compact power station, the Bluetti AC60 might be the one. Regularly priced at $699, it’s now on sale for just $269, which is an outstanding deal for a device that checks nearly every box for outdoor adventurers, road trippers, and emergency preppers alike.

Small Size, Big Performance
The Bluetti AC60 packs a 403Wh LiFePO₄ battery and delivers 600W of continuous power, with a surge capacity of up to 1,200W. That’s enough to run small appliances, charge all your devices, and keep essential gear running when you’re off-grid. Need more juice? You can expand its capacity up to 2,015Wh with Bluetti’s optional B80 battery packs.
Built For The Real World
Unlike many power stations that are more suited to your living room than a rainy campsite, the AC60 is rated IP65, meaning it’s protected against dust and low-pressure water jets. Translation: it can handle a bit of roughing it. It’s also compact (11.4″ x 8″ x 9.2″) and weighs around 20 pounds, making it a solid travel companion.
Flexible Charging, Fast Top-Ups
One of the AC60’s biggest advantages is how fast and versatile it is when it comes to charging. Plug it into the wall and you’ll get a full charge in about an hour, thanks to turbo charging. But it’s also solar-friendly (up to 200W), car-compatible, and can even charge via a lead-acid battery. That kind of flexibility makes it a reliable choice whether you’re camping, tailgating, or preparing for a blackout.
All The Ports You Actually Need
The AC60 isn’t just powerful, it’s practical. It includes:
- 2 × AC outlets (120V, 600W total)
- 1 × 100W USB-C port
- 2 × USB-A ports
- 1 × 12V car outlet
- 1 × 15W wireless charging pad
Whether you’re powering a mini fridge or topping off your laptop, phone, or drone, it’s got you covered.
Smart, Quiet, & Covered
This unit runs quietly (under 45dB) and supports Bluetooth connectivity so you can monitor and control it using the Bluetti app. It also comes with a 6-year warranty, which is unusually generous in this category, and proof that Bluetti stands behind its build quality.
Final Thoughts
If you’re already familiar with portable power stations, the Bluetti AC60 is a rare find at this price point. It’s rugged, expandable, fast-charging, and packed with practical features. At just $269, it’s hard to beat in terms of value. Whether you’re heading into the wild or just want peace of mind at home, this is one power station that punches way above its weight.
