BLUETTI FridgePower now live on Kickstarter

BLUETTI has launched its FridgePower system on Kickstarter, with early bird pricing available until May 31.

While pitched at household refrigeration, the design also has clear relevance for 4×4 touring, caravan travel, and off-grid setups where reliable, compact backup power is increasingly part of modern kit lists.

At its core, FridgePower is a plug-and-play battery system designed to keep a fridge running during outages or away from grid power. For touring applications, that translates directly into food storage security on extended trips, basecamp setups, and situations where a fridge failure can end a trip early.

The unit itself is compact, with a 75mm (2.95-inch) profile and support for flat or vertical mounting. That makes it easier to integrate into tight spaces in camper builds, canopy systems, caravan storage areas, or garage-based touring setups where every millimetre counts.

Built around extended fridge runtime

FridgePower is designed around a 2016Wh capacity and 1800W output in its standalone form. BLUETTI states it can run a standard refrigerator for around 21.6 hours, supported by a low 4W AC idle drain that helps stretch runtime when conditions are stable.

For longer trips or basecamp use, the system can scale up to 8064Wh using three BlueCell 200 expansion batteries, extending backup capability to around four days. A 3600W surge rating also covers high startup loads like fridge compressors, which is often where smaller power systems fall short in real-world use.

UPS protection for critical gear on the road

Powered by BLUEGrid technology, FridgePower includes a 10ms UPS switchover, allowing it to react instantly to power loss. While that’s relevant at home, it also translates well to touring setups where systems may be switching between solar, generator, or auxiliary inputs.

It’s designed to support not just fridges, but wider critical loads such as CPAP machines, Wi-Fi routers, lighting systems, and other low-draw electronics commonly found in touring and off-grid setups. Four operating modes – Standard, PV Priority, Time-of-Use, and Customised – allow users to prioritise solar input or manage charging around travel patterns. An automatic bypass also allows grid power to pass through directly when the unit is idle.

Quiet, low-maintenance power for camp life

FridgePower uses LiFePO₄ battery cells rated for over 4000 cycles, with a claimed lifespan of more than 10 years. For touring use, the key benefit is not just longevity, but low-noise operation – rated at around 30dB – making it suitable for enclosed sleeping setups, rooftop tents, and tight caravan environments.

Thermal sensors manage internal cooling automatically, keeping operation stable without the noise and fuel requirements of traditional generators.

Smart control for remote travel setups

Integration with Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant is included, but the more relevant feature set sits inside the BLUETTI app. For touring use, this includes:

• Weather alerts that can trigger pre-charging before incoming storms
• System diagnostics for monitoring battery and load status
• Scheduled maintenance cycles every three months
• Remote wake from a 0.3W sleep mode

An optional Display 1 Magnetic Screen provides a quick visual status check, useful for mounted installs in caravans or canopy systems.

Pricing and rollout

FridgePower is live on Kickstarter from April 17 to May 31, with early bird pricing tiers that reduce as allocations sell out. Launch pricing is:

• US$759 for the standalone unit (roughly $1150)
• US$1398 for the FridgePower Plus bundle (roughly $2100)

Pricing includes tax but excludes Australian shipping. Units are production-ready, with shipments expected to begin in early June – timed ahead of the Australian winter storm period, when grid instability and outages become more common.
