BLUETTI SwapSolar portable cooler system with industry-first swappable LFP batteries scores ~$300,000 in crowdfunding

[Redaktion]

BLUETTI's latest product is a portable fridge-freezer and ice-maker rather than a generator - however, it is still powered by the OEM's advanced LFP tech, and, as such, is the first of its kind on the market to do so. Furthermore, the MultiCooler Portable Fridge uses the same batteries as the new AC180T Power Station, both of which are available as rewards on BLUETTI's new crowdfunding page.

Ok, this is VERY interesting and was bound to happen sooner or later...

Think of it - your out 'in the wild' and what are your TWO primary concerns? Being 'geeky/techie' you want to keep your portable electronics charged - an endless stream of 'power stations' with Li/LFP storage is available as well as simple Li power bricks.

However, what about your food and drinks? Inexpensive 12V powered compressor fridge/freezers ARE available however the user needs to provide a power source for them.

What if the two devices were somehow 'married' or combined? A portable cooler/freezer that had its OWN LFP power storage?

While the user MAY still need to carry TWO devices (solar panel array + cooler/freezer) however it MAY free up valuable packing space for other gear. There still might be the possibility that ONLY the cooler/freezer/power-station need to be brought. :)

IMHO: sadly the combined product they are offering here is horribly overpriced as users could simply source individual parts and create their own 'package' for a mere fraction of what they are asking here, it does seem to be a good idea.
