Isn't crowdfunding great? You get to see some of the coolest products and have the opportunity to participate in some truly fascinating innovations, and Bluetti's recent entry on IndieGoGo is no exception

Bluetti was founded on more than a decade of experience in the clean energy sector A company that prides itself on sustainability and reliability, it is now looking to set the standard in power plant innovation This recent crowdfunding campaign makes great use of this expertise [The Bluetti AC200 Portable Power Station has a high capacity of 1700 Wh, enough to power a Tesla for 11 miles It can generate a total of 2000 watts of energy

With six outlets and two wireless charging pads on top, it can power up to 17 devices simultaneously

The AC200 can accommodate all types of devices, from smartphones and kitchen appliances to electric scooters and electric cars Most notably, its PD 60W fast charge can charge a Macbook Pro to 80% in less than 15 hours; the AC200 is also built with longevity and durability in mind

Thanks to the LG Autolevel battery cells, it can be used for over 2500 cycles without any loss of efficiency Each power station has also undergone over 1000 different internal tests by Bluetti These tests are designed to ensure that Bluetti hardware is manufactured to the highest possible level of quality and include vibration, hot and cold shocks, shock tests, extended temperature tests, and accessory wire bending

Thanks to intelligent temperature-controlled cooling fans, the AC200 portable power station is both safe and reliable The fan automatically turns on when the system temperature reaches 45 degrees Celsius, ensuring that the system stays cool no matter where you are or what you are doing Meanwhile, the Power Station's interactive LCD touch display provides a display and indicators, as well as alerts you to problems and allows you to adjust voltage, frequency, charging mode, power, and time

The environmentally friendly AC200 is remarkably green and sustainable Its built-in MPPT solar charge controller of up to 700 W allows it to go from empty to fully charged in just 35 hours And thanks to its energy-efficient ECO mode, AC200 consumes up to 50% less power than other power plants

But it doesn't just charge with solar energy It can also be charged from wall outlets, car output, gasoline/diesel generators, and lead-acid batteries; it can be charged simultaneously with 700W of solar power and 500W of AC outlet input and be back online in just 25 hours

As expected, Bluetti's AC200 Portable Power System is not cheap (but you get what you pay for)

The company currently lists the retail price of this product at about $1,800 But there's a flip side to that: if you back the product early on IndieGoGo, you can get a pretty cool discount, while supplies last

Whether you're powering a CPAP machine, setting up a TV or PS4 at a campsite, charging an electric car on a long drive, supporting an off-grid van-dwelling lifestyle, or bringing power tools to a site without electricity, Bluetti's AC200 Portable Power Station is an excellent choice

It is clean, efficient, and intelligent More importantly, it packs an incredible amount of power into a small, easily transportable kit In short, it has everything you would expect from a portable power station, and none of the drawbacks common to portable power stations
