BLUETTI Launches FridgePower

BLUETTI, known for its commitment to clean energy solutions, has recently introduced its latest innovation, FridgePower, on Kickstarter. This ultra-slim battery backup system is specifically designed for household refrigerators, ensuring that food and essential medications like insulin remain safe during power outages. With early backing available until May 31, FridgePower aims to redefine backup power solutions in modern homes, apartments, and kitchens.

A Purpose-Built Design

FridgePower stands out with its simple plug-and-play features that allow for quick setup, requiring no specialized knowledge. Its sleek profile of 75 mm (approximately 2.95 inches) means it can fit effortlessly into various residential settings without disrupting the aesthetic. The design is also versatile, allowing it to be mounted either flat or vertically. In spaces where optimizing storage is paramount, it presents a practical solution that maximizes usable area.

Enhanced Performance and Scalability

At its core, FridgePower enhances refrigerator runtime with its 2kWh power range, extending operation time by about 4.5 hours during outages. As a standalone unit, it can manage a standard refrigerator for roughly 21.6 hours. However, if more extended support is necessary, users can expand the capacity up to 8,064Wh by adding up to three BlueCell 200 expansion batteries. This ensures critical appliances remain operational even during prolonged blackout periods, providing peace of mind to homeowners.

Dual Protection and Smart Functionality

Equipped with BLUEGrid™ technology, FridgePower boasts a mere 10ms UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) switchover. This feature guarantees uninterrupted power supply during sudden outages. Users can tailor their energy strategies through four modes: Standard, PV Priority, Time-of-Use, and Customized, optimizing energy usage according to preferences.

Additionally, the integrated automatic bypass allows grid power supply directly to appliances when the unit is inactive, ensuring double protection for essential devices.

Durable and Silent Operation

FridgePower incorporates LiFePO₄ cells, which promise over 4,000 charge cycles, equating to more than 10 years of reliable service. Noise levels are as low as 30 dB—similar to a quiet library—making it a perfect addition for those who value peace and quiet in their homes. The unit is also equipped with smart sensors that continuously monitor internal temperatures while adjusting fan speeds for optimal cooling effectiveness.

Smart Home Integration and Advanced Features

FridgePower doesn't shy away from modern technology. It supports integration with Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant, allowing users to manage their energy consumption seamlessly. Through the BLUETTI App, users can enjoy features like:

• - Extreme Weather Alerts: Alerts about sudden weather changes that may warrant rapid charging.
• - System Diagnostics: Receive instant notifications regarding battery health and status.
• - Smart Maintenance: Automated processes for balancing cells to maximize lifespan.
• - Remote Wakeup: Accessing the unit remotely with minimal power consumption.

An optional Display 1 Magnetic Screen is available, providing a clear overview of the system’s operational data at a glance.

Availability and Early Support Pricing

The FridgePower will be available on Kickstarter from April 16 to May 31. Early supporters can take advantage of various pricing tiers, starting at $759 for the standalone unit—a discount of 42% off retail pricing. The FridgePower Plus bundle, including an expansion battery, is offered at $1,398, a 44% discount. These limited-time offers come with shipping costs included for U.S. customers, assuring the best value for those preparing for emergencies.

A Look Ahead

FridgePower is fully ready for production, with shipments projected to commence in early June. This timing is particularly pertinent, as families brace for potential power outages during hurricane season and summer storms. The innovative design and thoughtful features of the FridgePower make it a reliable solution for maintaining essential power in critical situations.

With a strong track record since its establishment in 2013, BLUETTI continues to lead the clean energy sector, empowering individuals across over 120 countries to stay prepared for unexpected power demands.
