Product Overview

Diagram

The BLUETTI B80 can be used with AC60 as an external expansion battery, or as a DC power station to run your devices independently. It offers up to 120W output with 3 DC ports – USB-A, USB-C and car cigarette lighter port, perfect for your phone, laptop, car fridge, and more. While LiFePO4 battery cells and an advanced battery management system (BMS) protect your device from a variety of potential risks during daily operation. When connected to AC60, it adds extra 806Wh capacity to the whole power system for longer device runtime.

Operation

Buttons

B80 has a power button and a DC output button.

Press the power button to start up B80. Press and hold for more than 2 seconds to turn it off.
Press the DC power button to turn on/off the DC output (cigarette lighter and USB output.

Power indicator

BLUETTI B80 has 5 LED indicators. From left to right, they represent 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% SoC, respectively

Charging

B80 supports 4 charging methods: AC60 charging, solar, car (cigarette lighter) and adapter.

AC60 Charging

Connect the AC60 and B80 and plug the AC60 into a wall outlet via the AC charging cable. The AC60 will automatically charge the B80

Solar Charging

Connect the solar panels (in series or parallel) to B80 via the solar charging cable.

Note: Please make sure your solar panels comply with:
Voc: 12V-28VDC Input Current: 8A Max.
Input Power: 200W Max

Warning: The open circuit voltage of solar panels cannot exceed 28V, otherwise it will damage the device.(Note: This is not covered in the warranty.)

Car Charging

Connect the B80 to vehicle’s 12V/24V cigarette lighter port via the car charging cable.

Warning: Cigarette lighter must be completely plugged in, otherwise it may cause safety risks.

Adapter Charging

The B80 can be charged via adapter. Please make sure the output voltage of adapter is between 12V~28VDC.

Discharging

DC Output

The operation time of B80 is subject to many factors, such as ambient temperature, discharge rate, battery capacity, altitude, load characteristics, etc.

12V/10A cigarette lighter
USB-C (5/9/12/15/20VDC, 3A; 20VDC, 5A)
USB-A (5V/3A; 9V/2A; 12V/1.5A)
Expansion Port (17.5V-25.2VDC, 30A Max.)

Connect to AC60

With the battery expansion cable, AC60 supports up to 2 B80 expansion batteries for a total capacity of 2015Wh. Turn on AC60 to activate the whole power system.

Note: Make sure the AC60 and B80 are off when connecting and disconnecting cables.

Power Bank Mode

Connect the B80 to a compatible power station via the power bank output cable, press and hold its power button for about 5s, and it can recharge the power station directly.
Note:
In Power Bank mode, the B80 delivers a voltage of up to 25VDC. Please check the DC input voltage of your BLUETTI power station for compatibility.

Estimated Operation Time

Operation time (estimated) = Battery capacity (Wh) × DoD × η ÷ (load power)

Note:

Load power and operation time are measured in watts and hours.
DoD refers to depth of discharge. B80 works at 90% DoD for longer battery life. η is the conversion efficiency of the inverter, which is 90% for B80.

E.g. If you run a 40W refrigerator with B80, the operation time will be: 806Wh × 90% × 90% ÷ 40W ≈ 16 hrs

Note: Low temperature and excessive loads could greatly impact the battery capacity and reduces its normal operation time.

Appendix

FAQs

Q1: How do I know whether my devices will work well with this product?

A: Please evaluate the total constant load of your devices. If it doesn’t exceed the Max. output power of B80 (120W), you can use this power station to run your devices.
Note: Some devices with built-in motor/compressor may start at 2-4 times the rated power, which can easily overload the B80.

Q2: Can I use third-party solar panels to charge this product?

A: Yes, you can. Make sure your solar panels have an open circuit voltage of 12V-28V and have the MC4 connectors. Please do NOT mix different types of solar panels.
Note: Time required for one full charge depends on weather condition, the sunshine intensity and the angle of solar panels.

Q3: Can it charge and discharge at the same time?

A: Yes. It supports pass-through charging. B80 comes with the premium LiFePO4 battery and proprietary Battery Management System to ensure that it can charge and discharge at the same time.

Q4: Why does the B80 shut down automatically?

A: Two scenarios in which B80 shuts down itself: If DC output is not turned on after power on, it will automatically shut down after 4 hours.
If DC output is less than 10W, it will automatically shut down after 24 hours.

Q5: Why is the charging power often too low?

A: B80 has a built-in intelligent BMS that automatically adjusts the charging power in response to the battery temperature and SoC, thus protecting the battery and extending its service life.
