Bluetti AC180 Review: The Mid-Range Sweet Spot with Wireless Charging

The Bluetti AC180 sits in a sweet spot between the budget-friendly AC70 and the high-capacity AC200P. With 1,152Wh of LiFePO4 power and a built-in wireless charging pad, it offers features you won’t find on many competitors.

Key Specs at a Glance

• Capacity: 1,152Wh
• Output: 1,800W (2,700W Power Lifting)
• Weight: 35.3 lbs
• Charge Time: ~60 minutes (wall outlet)
• Battery Type: LiFePO4 (3,500+ cycles)

Who Is It For?

Campers and RV owners who want more capacity than the 1kWh class but don’t need the 2kWh monsters. The wireless charging pad makes it especially nice for family camping where everyone’s phone needs juice. Good for emergency backup too.

Built-in Wireless Charging

The 15W wireless charging pad on top of the AC180 is a genuine convenience feature. Drop your phone on top while the power station runs your camp setup. No cables needed. It’s a small thing, but once you use it, you’ll miss it on other units.

Fast Charging with LiFePO4

0-80% in 45 minutes. Full charge in about an hour. At 1,152Wh, that’s one of the fastest charge rates per watt-hour in the industry. The LiFePO4 chemistry means the battery will last 3,500+ cycles, outlasting the power station itself.

Power Lifting Mode

Bluetti’s Power Lifting technology lets the AC180 handle devices drawing up to 2,700W by intelligently managing voltage. This means you can run larger devices like hair dryers or small heaters that would overload the rated 1,800W output. It won’t work for everything, but it significantly extends usability.

How It Compares

The AC180 competes directly with the Anker SOLIX C1000 ($699, 1,056Wh) and EcoFlow Delta 2 ($849, 1,024Wh). The AC180 offers more capacity than both, matches the Anker on price, and adds wireless charging. But it’s heavier at 35 lbs and has fewer AC outlets than the EcoFlow.

What Could Be Better

At 35.3 lbs, the AC180 is noticeably heavier than the Anker SOLIX C1000 (26.9 lbs) and Jackery 1000 v2 (22 lbs). Having only 1 USB-C port is a miss in 2026 when everything charges via USB-C. And there’s no expandable battery option — 1,152Wh is your ceiling.

The Bottom Line

The Bluetti AC180 is a strong mid-range choice with features like wireless charging and Power Lifting mode that add genuine daily value. If you can handle the extra weight, it offers more capacity per dollar than the Anker C1000 or EcoFlow Delta 2. A solid buy.
