Brief conclusions of the comparison portable power stations

The BLUETTI AC500 and AC300 charging stations have similar features but differ in power and specifications. The AC500 offers a rated power of 5000 W and a peak power of 10000 W, making it more powerful for serious loads, whereas the AC300 has a rated power of 3000 W and a peak power of 6000 W. Both devices support sine wave output and have 6 outlets at 230 V, but the AC300 offers one additional outlet for 100-120 V. Both devices allow for the connection of additional batteries, but neither model includes a battery module in the package. Users note the convenience of both models, the presence of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for smartphone synchronization, as well as a display and carrying handle. The AC500 weighs 30 kg, while the AC300 is lighter at 21.6 kg, which can be an important factor in the selection.

Glossary

Rated power

Power that a device can consistently produce for an indefinitely long time without any unpleasant consequences. For normal operation of the charging station, the rated power must be at least 15 - 20% higher than the total power of all devices simultaneously connected to it.

Peak power

Some electrical appliances (in particular, units with electric motors - refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.) consume significantly more energy at startup than after reaching the operating mode. For such a load, the peak power of the charging station must be taken into account - its indicator must be higher than the starting power of the load.

USB C

USB type C ports are smaller than classic USBs, and they also have a convenient reversible design that allows you to connect the plug in either direction. USB type C was originally designed to be able to implement various advanced features: increased power supply, fast charging technologies, etc.

Since the port is relatively new and quite powerful (there are USB type C with a power of 60 W and even 100 W), the total number of such connectors is often limited to 1 port, less often two).

- The strength of the power. The maximum power output through the USB type C connector to a charging device. Note that different ports of the charging station can output different power (for example, 1.5 A and 2.1 A). In this case, the highest power strength is usually indicated.

— Power. The maximum power in watts (W) that the charging station is capable of delivering to one rechargeable gadget. The high output power of the USB type C port allows you to speed up the charging process. However, the appropriate power must be supported by the device being charged - otherwise the speed of the process will be limited by the characteristics of the gadget.

PSU

— External. Outdoor placement of the power supply requires additional space. However, most blocks of this type are quite compact in size and are equipped with “plugs” for sockets right on the case - in other words, the block is installed on a socket, and from there the wire stretches to the charging station. There are also external power supplies on the cable. Considering that you only need to connect the adapter while the device is charging, an external power supply is a very convenient solution.

- Internal. The built-in power supply does not take up space outside the charging station, however, it can increase the dimensions and weight of the device. The advantage of this arrangement is that the most common power wire goes from the housing to the socket, without additional equipment on it. At one end it is connected to the socket, the other end is connected to the input connector of the charging station.

Warranty

Warranties for charging stations usually provide users with protection against manufacturing defects and malfunctions for a certain period, which may vary depending on the manufacturer. Warranty service includes free repair or replacement of components if the problem is not the user's fault. The warranty period can be from one year to several years, and it is important to consider conditions such as correct installation, use of the station for its intended purpose, and compliance with technical requirements.
