Bluetti’s AC180P hit the market as an upgrade to its much-hyped AC180 mid-range power station. It was also an upgrade to another P model in its new series, the AC60P.
The P series, as per Bluetti, was designed as the offline edition of its power stations, but they are still available on the brand’s website as regular models.
Update: Bluetti has updated its website by listing the two ‘P’ versions of its power stations under the page “Premium Series.” It ends the confusion about the branding of the product. I am wondering if we will get more “premium” versions of its current lineup in the coming days.
What difference does the premium Bluetti AC180P make from the original AC180?

The Bluetti customers, especially those who recently bought an AC180, are confused to see an upgrade to their pick as early as this.
Anyway, let us see how the AC180P is different from the AC180.
The main difference, I see, is the increase in battery capacity.
The new AC180P has a 1440 Wh LFP battery instead of the AC180’s 1,152 Wh, and both devices have the same output of 1800 watts. Any more changes? The color! Yes, you have the new model with some layers of orange, maybe meant for a fight with Jackery’s alternatives in the offline stores.
Next, the price thing? Yes, for the upgraded battery, you need to pay an extra of around $400. The new model carries a price of $1099, while the old model is being sold for $699.
The new product is added as a variant to the AC180’s product page on the Bluetti page.
