Photo: BLUETTI Power outage? Your fridge freezer is one of the first things at risk, along with everything inside it. BLUETTI’s new FridgePower is built to solve that problem fast, and it’s launching on Kickstarter on April 16 with limited-tier early-bird pricing. It’s a true plug-and-play backup designed to keep your fridge running without installation, complexity, or hassle. FridgePower is an ultra-slim, plug-and-play battery backup designed specifically for refrigerators and essential home loads. No installation. No complicated setup. Just plug it in, and it’s ready to go. A plug-and-play design that fits your home Photo: BLUETTI One of the biggest barriers to home backup power is complexity. FridgePower skips all of that. It’s designed for true plug-and-play use, so you don’t need an electrician or technical know-how. The unit has a sleek, ultra-slim profile (just 75 mm / 2.95 inches thick), so it can slide into tight spaces or sit neatly in your kitchen, apartment, or utility area without getting in the way.

Strong performance – and it scales when you need more BlueCell 200 expansion battery Photo: BLUETTI Under the hood, FridgePower packs serious capability for everyday households. The standalone unit delivers 2,016Wh of capacity and 1,800W of output, which is enough to keep a standard refrigerator running for about 21.6 hours. That alone covers most outages. But if you want more coverage, the system is expandable. You can scale up to 8,064 Wh with up to three BlueCell 200 expansion batteries, stretching backup time to around four full days. It also handles demanding startup loads with 3,600W surge power, so it can reliably kick on fridge compressors and even support things like sump pumps when needed.

Built specifically to protect your fridge Photo: BLUETTI This isn’t a general-purpose battery that happens to power a fridge – it’s designed around refrigeration. FridgePower includes a built-in 10 ms UPS (uninterruptible power supply), so when the grid goes down, your fridge keeps running seamlessly. No reset, no interruption. It also uses a dual-protection system with an automatic bypass, so your appliances can draw power directly from the grid when the unit isn’t actively supplying power. The result is continuous, reliable protection for food, medications like insulin, and other essentials. On top of that, you can fine-tune its behavior with four UPS modes: Standard, PV Priority, Time-of-Use, and Customized. Quiet, long-lasting, and low maintenance Photo: BLUETTI FridgePower is built with LiFePO₄ battery cells rated for over 4,000 charge cycles, which translates to a lifespan of more than 10 years. It’s also designed to be silent enough for everyday living. At around 30 dB, it’s comparable to a quiet library – a big step up from the noise of traditional gas generators. Smart sensors continuously monitor internal temperature and automatically adjust fan speed, so you get efficient cooling without the noise. Smart home ready, with useful real-world features FridgePower integrates with Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant, making it compatible with existing smart home setups. The BLUETTI app unlocks more advanced features, including: Extreme weather alerts that trigger pre-charging before storms Real-time system diagnostics (battery health, load, activity) Smart maintenance cycles to extend lifespan Remote wake-up with ultra-low sleep mode (just 0.3W) All of that data can also be mirrored on the optional magnetic display for quick access.
