Bluetti launches ultra-slim fridge backup battery

Bluetti has launched FridgePower, a slim home battery designed to keep refrigerators and freezers running during power outages. The company says the system can also keep temperature-sensitive medications cold.

FridgePower includes an uninterruptible power supply rated for up to 1,800W of continuous output. Bluetti claims 21.6 hours of refrigerator or freezer backup from its standard 2,016Wh capacity. Additional batteries can raise capacity to 8,064Wh and extend backup to as long as four days.

The unit is 75mm thick and can be wall-mounted or placed beside a refrigerator or inside a cabinet. It can send phone notifications about charge levels and system alerts. An optional refrigerator-mounted display is expected early next year. Bluetti says FridgePower can monitor local weather and start fast charging when a storm is forecast. Its noise output is 30dB in Quiet Mode.

The product was named an honoree in the CES Innovation Awards 2027. TechRadar reports a list price of £1,299.99, discounted to £899. The US listing is $1,599, with Amazon offering it for $999. In Australia, it is listed at AU$2,299, down from AU$2,499. The source also says the battery can be charged using balcony solar panels or a portable solar power pack.
