DESIGNED TO SURVIVE
Bluetti has shown that it understands its customers ’ needs , particularly in Australia where our style of touring occurs in harsh outback conditions . With that , the AC60 is the first portable power station to be built to IP65 standard , making it water-resistant and dust-proof . I can ’ t begin to describe to you just how reassuring it is to have that level of confidence in a product that I use in a variety of situations and conditions .
On top of that , the AC60 feels very robust and well made . The carry handle is much stronger than the EB55 ’ s and features contoured rubber grips . All the outlets have thick rubber covers and the base has four large rubber pads on the feet . The controls are simple , with just three large illuminated buttons that you can even use while wearing gloves . The AC60 looks and feels like a well-made , durable product .
FOR THE GEEK IN US ALL
If you like your gadgets as much as I do , you ’ re going to love the Bluetti control app for smart devices that support the AC60 . I really missed this feature on the EB55 and having it on the AC60 brings a smile to my face .
The Bluetti smart device app is fantastic . In addition to controlling all the AC60 ’ s features , you can see at a glance how much power is going in and out of the system all without getting out of your camp chair .
The app is simple and intuitive . All of the AC60 ’ s functions and settings can be accessed through the app and you can see at a glance how much power is being generated to recharge the unit as well as how much power you ’ re using and , subsequently , how much time remaining you have until the battery runs out .
The app also allows you to set the mains charging level to one of three modes : Standard , Silent and Turbo . I found this feature more useful than I imagined . For instance , if you want to recharge the AC60 overnight inside your van , you can set it to Silent mode , which reduces the charge rate , allowing the cooling fan to run much slower than normal .
