Introduction
BLUETTI is aimed to take the energy storage world by surprise with the release of its first home energy storage system series – the EP500 & EP500 Pro. Compared to existing giants like the Powerwall or SonnenCore, the EP500 series had a much smaller 5.1kWh capacity. But with the four smooth-rolling transport wheels, the EP500 is not meant to be a large solar battery mounted on the wall or garage. The BLUETTI EP500 is designed to be a “No Installation Needed”, plug and play powerhouse that can easily be moved to the desired location whenever needed.

Both of them are packed with 5100Wh, based on ultra-durable and safe LiFePO4 battery cells (up to 6,000 charge cycles).
Blazing Fast Charging
The BLUETTI team is dedicated to building an eco-friendly future with renewable energy. Antique gasoline generators, which produce toxic fumes pollution, unbearable noise and consume irreproducible petroleum resources are a thing of the past.

Last but not least, the Bluetti EP500 series can also be charged from solar and AC simultaneously, handling up to 1800W (4000W for the pro version) and charging the battery pack at lightning speed.
Size & Weight
The unit is about 180lbs and is just about the size as a normal household air purifier, the EP500 series still can be moved around easily with the help of 4 smooth-rolling wheels.
Compared to the mounted backup power systems like the Tesla Powerwall and LG Chem RESU, the BLUETTI EP500 series features incredible mobility and are even possible to be packed for a road trip.
24/7 Seamless UPS & WiFi Remote Control
An uninterrupted power source (UPS) is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to essential loads when the grid goes down. EP500 & EP500 Pro is the key to provide continuous power and to help you get through power outages at ease.
With the BLUETTI EP500, you will never have to face the panic when the power outage occurs, all your data on the computer will be well preserved, your food in the refrigerator will stay cold, and all the lights you need will stay on.

No more having to walk to a unit to determine remaining battery or inverter capacity.
Split Phase Bonding
The rated AC inverter output power of 2000/3000 continuous watts is pretty high, but certainly not enough to power all of your electrical appliances. As an emergency energy storage power for the whole family, Bluetti has an option to double the AC output. For higher power loads, Bluetti is releasing its own “Split Phase Box” with which users can connect two EP500/Pro’s in series, and double the rated power output and capacity. The box will also offer the option of 220/240 volt output to power 240 volt appliances, which means you can now run your home air conditioner, clothes dryer, in-wall Electric Heater and other high power appliances with ease. No need to worry about power outages on hot summer nights or cold, bitter winters anymore.
