Actually, that is 100% what I'm looking for, but they only sell it in the US, so... If they decide to sell in the EU, or another brand sells the equivalent here, I'd be more than interested. I haven't found any yet.

Thanks though!

Quote from: heffeque on March 10, 2026, 12:54:56Bluetti should think about a product line that is simply UPS with either LFP or sodium, without the solar power stuff.

If I'm spending $1100 on such a capable battery backup, the last thing I'd want is for the manufacturer to opt to save $15 in manufacturing costs just to deprive me of a way of charging said backup.

Bluetti has devices that are $115 (the Elite 10).

I'm asking for Bluetti to make a version that is less solar/portable oriented (so less bulky), and more UPS oriented (lower response times basically).

They would sweep the small UPS market, since traditional brands keep using old-car battery tech while still maintaining prices high.

Ugreen has one, but it's extremely proprietary (it only works with their own products, and only subset of them). Bluetti could try to make a generic one.

UPS manufacturers aren't selling LFP (or sodium) batteries.

When any of my UPS kick the bucket, I'll most likely buy one of these things, as they can work as a UPS, and the battery life is several times as many years, so definitely worth it.
