Bluetti Premium 50 (AC50P)

The BLUETTI Premium 50 (AC50P) is a versatile and mid-range portable power station designed for users who need a balance of capacity, portability, and functionality. With a 500Wh lithium-ion battery and a 300W pure sine wave inverter (450W surge), the AC50P is well-suited for camping, emergency backup, van life, and light off-grid applications.

Weighing around 6.2 kg, it strikes a practical balance between power and portability. The rugged carry handle and compact design make it easy to transport. The unit features an impressive array of outputs: two AC outlets, one USB-C (45W), four USB-A, DC ports, a regulated 12V car port, and even a wireless charging pad on top—perfect for keeping smartphones powered without cluttering cables.

Performance-wise, the AC50P can easily handle essential devices like laptops, drones, CPAP machines, lights, fans, and small coolers. Its wireless charging feature is a convenient touch, especially when space and outlets are limited. The 500Wh capacity offers enough runtime for a weekend getaway or power outage support, depending on your load.

Charging the AC50P is equally flexible. It supports solar input up to 120W (MPPT), AC wall charging, car charging, and generator charging. Solar input allows for sustainable recharging in outdoor or remote environments, though solar panels are sold separately. Full recharge via AC typically takes 6–7 hours.

One drawback is that it uses lithium-ion rather than the more durable LiFePO₄ chemistry found in newer Bluetti models. That said, it still offers 1,000+ charge cycles, and its efficient battery management system ensures safety and longevity.

Verdict

The Bluetti AC50P (Premium 50) offers solid power, wide device compatibility, and user-friendly features in a highly portable form. For casual off-grid users or those needing dependable backup power for essentials, it’s a reliable and well-priced solution.
