Bluetti’s latest sale drops the Handsfree backpack power stations to best prices starting from $199 (Reg. $429+), more

46% off/From $199

Bluetti has an ongoing Emergency Power Sale that seems to be taking the place of any officially named Labor Day Sale, and which is taking up to 46% off the brand’s power stations. Among the lineup, we also spotted a particularly notable 48-hour flash sale that is offering the Handsfree 1 and Handsfree 2 Backpack Power Stations for $199 shipped and $299 shipped. These two highly portable power solutions normally go for $429 and $599 at full price, which have mostly dropped down to $299 and $399 during sales, save for the occasional flash events where we’ve seen these low rates pop up. You’re getting another chance to score either at the best prices we have tracked, giving you $230 or $300 in savings, and beating out Amazon prices of $349 for the Handsfree 1 and $449 for the Handsfree 2. Head below for more on these and some of the other offers during this sale.

Bluetti’s Handsfree 1 and Handsfree 2 power stations are specifically designed for backpackers, with them even coming here with a 42L or 60L splash-resistant backpack that not only holds/protects the unit and provides convenient access points to their ports, but also provides plenty of extra room for other essentials during hikes, camping trips, and the like. With the Handsfree 1 station, you’ll be carrying along a 268.8Wh LiFePO4 battery (outputting 300W and surging to 450W) while the Handsfree 2 gives you a larger 512Wh LiFePO4 capacity (700W output surging to 1,200W). Both models provide you with five port options to cover your essential powering: one AC outlet, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports.

They recharge very fast so even last-minute plans won’t be as stressful, with the batteries in both units taking up to 45 minutes to reach 80% when plugged into a standard AC outlet, while reaching 100% takes a little longer at 1.5 hours for the Handsfree 1 and 1.3 hours for the Handsfree 2. Of course, these do come with solar-charging options, with either a 200W or 350W max solar input, and plenty of ways to attach the panels to the backpacks for charging on the go.
