• TheBluetti AC180 retails at$999, however Amazon Prime members can now pick this unit up for$400 off.

• It's fairly heavy given its capacity, weighing in at 37.4 pounds.

You can divide power stations into three broad categories -there are the tiny, highly portable units, the huge units that roll about on wheels, and in between you have the bulky but still portable units that you can lug about, just not too far!

I quite like this intermediate category because I can throw one in the back of the car or truck when I go camping or on photo/video/drone trips and it'll provide all the power I need for a few days.
