The BLUETTI AC2A is a lithium iron phosphate power station to keep where power is needed a little and right away: on a nightstand, in a tent, on a market stall table. It has a single AC outlet, and the power is enough for a modem, a computer, a lamp; a heat-producing appliance is beyond its reach.
Left plugged into a home outlet it acts as a reserve: when the grid fails it takes over before a computer left on notices. Capacity isn't fixed, because an external battery connects alongside it with a dedicated cable, and fast charging gives back most of its energy in about the time it takes to have a coffee, which matters when you're setting off again soon. To start a small motor there's a separate function to switch on, which briefly raises the power ceiling and keeps the protection from tripping.
It's switched on and adjusted from its own buttons; the app, over Bluetooth, is for changing charging modes and output frequency, not for making it run. It's not waterproof and needs to be kept dry. It's a cushion against short outages and a light travel companion: for days away from an outlet a different size is needed.

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.

These numbers are calculated, not stated: they have no source to cite, they have a formula you can redo. The price used is the manufacturer's list price, which is stable and the same in every country — not a shop's price on the day.
Pros and cons
In favour
- When power fails, the modem and a computer left on don't notice.
- Fast charging gives back most of its energy in about the time it takes to have a coffee.
- An external battery connects alongside it when two hundred watt-hours start to feel tight.
- It works under forty-five decibels: in a quiet room it goes unnoticed.
Worth knowing
- It's not waterproof: it needs to be kept dry, even inside a tent. source
- It has a single AC outlet, and it handles one light appliance at a time.
- Charging modes and output frequency can only be changed from the app, over Bluetooth.
