Why do you require a portable power station?

We all use a power bank, to charge our smartphones, laptops, etc. But these power banks are of small capacities and cant be used only to power home appliances in case of power failures.

That`s where the Bluetti AC50s comes into the picture, this is a very unique kind of portable power station. Because this supports solar power charging and has a lot of cool features to offer.

Generally, people who live in big houses have a fuel generator, which runs on diesel. But these power stations create air pollution, instead, people can use an electric power station like the Bluetti AC50s.

Bluetti AC50 Portable Power Station Review!

Design & Build Quality

The Maxoak Bluetti AC50s has a Stylish & rugged design, same as the Bluetti AC50, but it has an extra rubber covering to its body, which adds a better grip, and one can easily place the power station in uneven surfaces and use it.

The Front Side

To the front side, we have a bright screen display that shows the battery usage and charging parameters such as, the power input/output usages, and below the display, we have the car and USB Ports.

The Back & Adjacent Sides

To the backside, we have the Led Light, its button, and the power input port. Given its compact form factor, we can use it in even in limited spaces such as our car backseat, etc and you can charge your devices simultaneously.

To the adjacent sided, we have some vents that help in better airflow, this helps in maintaining a normal temperate if the power station when it is being used extensively.

LED Light

To the backside, there is a light which can be turned on with a push of a button and this has the power to illuminate your whole backyard easily and covers a wide area, this would be great for camping and RC trips where we need good lighting source in the evenings & low lighting conditions.

The LED lighting has three feature modes: Full bright, Half bright, and SOS flashing. You can switch these modes by single press the led lighting button.

Build Quality & Weight of the Power Station

The Maxoak Bluetti AC50s weigh in around 13 Pounds / 6.3 Kilograms, which may feel a bit heavy but, but thanks to the rubbery grip on the handle, it can be easily carried to different places. Overall it has a good build quality.

The foldable handle design on this power station helps in saving a bit of space, the bottom of the power station has a stable grip, as it can be kept at uneven surfaces and still it will be stable, this is due to the even distribution of weight onto the power station, which is quite good.
