A car cooler is essential for camping and long drives, especially during hot summer days. However, one of the major issues with these devices is that you must add ice frequently. BLUETTI attempts to change this narrative with the SwapSolar, an innovative multicooler and power station combo that can make ice on the fly. This car fridge is portable and comes with a hot-swappable battery power station. Yes, you read that right.
The SwapSolar was introduced at CES 2024 and is now available as a part of an Indiegogo campaign. It is a 3-in-1 fridge and is touted as the world’s first LFP-powered MultiCooler. Needless to say, this combo will elevate your long drives and RV trips by bringing the best of functionality and convenience.
So, what’s special about the BLUETTI SwapSolar bundle? Well, that’s what we will explore in this post today. Without further ado, let’s get started.
1. Multitasker King
The BLUETTI SwapSolar is not your run-of-the-mill car fridge. This MultiCooler achieves various tasks in one go since it’s an ice maker, refrigerator, and freezer all wrapped in one bundle. Since we’re on the subject, this fridge has a 42qt (40L) capacity. For those who don’t want to rack their brains, BLUETTI claims the cooler is big enough to accommodate 60 soda cans.
This MultiCooler comes with all the bells and whistles, such as vacuum insulation panels and microporous foam layers, which help keep the temperature in check. And not only that. This cool fridge is powered by the BLUETTI’s AC180T removable battery.
More to the point, the temperature can go as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Centigrade) and as high as 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Centigrade) (-20℃ to +20℃). Needless to say, the cooler’s wide temperature range makes it quite versatile, and you can use it in many scenarios.
All these features make it the perfect traveling companion for various activities, including outdoor picnics, Off-roading, and even long RV trips (two days and beyond). Further, you can use this cooler in your day-to-day life, whether it’s running to the grocery store to get cold cuts or keeping cold drinks at their optimal temperature.
The MultiCooler uses advanced VIP (Vacuumed Insert Panel) and ultra-microporous foam layers for excellent temperature regulation. It keeps your food consistently cool even in the sun and helps save energy
2. Easy to Charge
However, all these features would go to waste if it was challenging to charge the cooler. Thankfully, the MultiCooler can be charged by four methods — Wall outlet, Car, AC180T battery, and solar panel.
More importantly, this power generator features a hot-swappable battery design, wherein you can swap out one of the batteries. For now, you can use B70 batteries (sold separately) to keep the MultiCooler running.
In fact, if you have multiple B70 batteries, the hot swap design means the cooler can have a long run time. If we talk numbers, one B70 (716.8Wh) can power the MultiCooler up to six days. Plus, it also supports solar charging. Here, the battery can be connected to solar panels.
3. Portable Design
To no one’s surprise, the BLUETTI MultiCooler also touts a smart and portable design. It weighs around 52.9lbs (25kg), and the grooves at the sides ensure you can lift the cooler without any issues.
Additionally, the MultiCooler comes with a 45-degree tilt protection. It also features a slider that keeps the device securely in place while driving. Moreover, the ice maker operates quietly with a noise level of around 45dB during ice-making mode.
4. Easy to Control
Lastly, the BLUETTI MultiCooler has an easy-to-use control panel. It has an LCD touchscreen and touch buttons. Moreover, from temperature monitoring to adjusting the settings, the cooler can be remotely configured over Bluetooth.
5. Power of the BLUETTI AC180T
Now, coming to the battery that powers the BLUETTI SwapSolar — AC180T. The AC180T packs several cool features. For one, it has a capacity of 1,433Wh, can output 1,800W, and lift up to 2,700W.
More importantly, it features a removable battery design that lets you replace the two B70 batteries inside. Each of these batteries has a capacity of 716.8Wh. Hence, if you have multiple B70 batteries, you can swap them, resulting in a long run time.
Aside from that, BLUETTI uses LFP batteries, which are known for their 3,000+ life cycles and 5,000+ swap times. Further, charging the AC180T is not hard either. You can plug the battery directly into a wall outlet for fast 1,440W AC charging. Or, if you want to go the green way, you can also use solar panel charging.
Stay Powered and Stay Cool
The Indiegogo campaign for the BLUETTI SwapSolar started on February 21, 2024, with several early bird deals in limited quantities. For instance, the AC180T carries a retail price of $1,299, while the early bird price is set at $849.
You’ll also be entitled to a warranty if you snag the car cooler and battery combo. BLUETTI offers a five-year warranty for the AC180T battery, while the MultiCooler has a two-year warranty.
