The BLUETTI AC180 offers 1,152 Wh of rated capacity, 1,800 W continuous AC output and 2,700 W surge output in a 16 kg unit. Testing sustained the full 1,800 W load for 30 minutes and delivered 983 Wh to a heater, making it credible for camping and van-life loads, though DC usable capacity measured only 78% of advertised capacity in one test.
