The BLUETTI AC240P is a portable lithium iron phosphate battery storage unit designed to stay outdoors: its resistance to rain and dust makes it suited to a job site, a boat, a storage room with no door. It has four AC outlets, and its starting capacity covers a day of work away from the grid.
It grows by adding batteries from its family, up to more than five times the capacity it starts with: it's the same machine that in its second year covers far more than it did in its first. Connected to a home outlet it acts as a reserve, and when the grid drops, it takes the place of power before a work session is lost. A motor's startup surge needs a separate function to switch on, which briefly raises the power ceiling.
From the outlet it recovers most of its charge in three quarters of an hour; from the sun it needs a clear day and real panels. At thirty-three kilos with the handle it can be moved but not carried around: it's a block to put in one place and leave, and the more batteries added alongside it, the more that place needs planning in advance.

Which documents this page rests on
The rest of the data comes from one page on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.
A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.
What it really costs
How we worked it out
- price
- 2299

- the manufacturer does not state the guaranteed total energy throughput, which for heavy users is often the limit that runs out first
- on nominal capacity: the manufacturer does not state the usable figure, so the real cost is higher
- without conversion losses, which the manufacturer does not state: the real cost is higher

Pros and cons
In favour
- It stays outdoors: rain and dust don't stop it.
- When the grid drops, it takes the place of power before a work session is lost.
- It expands up to more than five times its starting capacity, without changing the main unit.
- From the outlet it recovers most of its charge in three quarters of an hour.
Worth knowing
- To grow it needs batteries from its own family: those from other models don't connect.
- The more the system expands, the more space it takes: each extra battery is a block that needs somewhere to go.
- Surge beyond continuous output is only available through a separate function to switch on.
