BLUETTI Launches FridgePower on Kickstarter, an Ultra-Slim Backup for Refrigerators

Early backers get limited pricing with deliveries slated for early June.

Overview

  • The Kickstarter campaign, which opened Thursday, runs through May 31 with limited Super Early Bird tiers starting at $759 for the standalone unit.
  • FridgePower is a 2.95-inch-thick, plug-and-play battery that sits behind, on top of, or mounts near a fridge without any rewiring.
  • The base unit provides 2,016Wh and 1,800W with a ~10 ms UPS switchover and can expand to 8,064Wh with up to three BlueCell 200 batteries.
  • BLUETTI says the product is production-ready with shipments expected to begin in early June for early backers.
  • An early reviewer reported the unit kept a refrigerator running during a local outage, and BLUETTI cites LiFePO4 cells rated for 4,000+ cycles with quiet ~30 dB operation.
