BLUETTI, a global innovator in clean energy solutions, today unveiled FridgePower on Kickstarter, a purpose-built home battery system engineered to protect households from one of the most common and costly consequences of power outages: food loss.
With extreme weather events becoming more frequent across Canada—from winter storms and blizzards to floods and wildfires—reliable backup power is no longer optional for many households. Even short outages can lead to spoiled groceries, disrupted routines, and unexpected expenses.
FridgePower offers a focused, practical solution: a compact backup system designed specifically to keep refrigerators and essential devices running when the grid goes down.
A Practical Solution for Everyday Emergencies
Unlike traditional whole-home backup systems, FridgePower is designed for accessibility and simplicity—no installation required.
It is ideal for:
- Urban apartments and condos with limited space
- Suburban and rural homes prone to outages
- Renters seeking a non-permanent backup solution
In addition to refrigerators, FridgePower can support critical devices such as Wi-Fi routers, CPAP machines, and aquariums—helping households maintain basic comfort and connectivity during outages.
Ultra-Slim Form Factor, Built for Tight Spaces
At just 2.95 inches (75mm) thick, FridgePower is engineered for modern living environments where space is limited.
Flexible placement options include:
- Behind or beside refrigerators
- Between appliances and walls
- On countertops or wall-mounted
Its low-profile, minimalist design allows it to integrate seamlessly into kitchens without disrupting existing layouts.
Reliable Power, Optimized for Efficiency
FridgePower combines strong output with energy efficiency to extend backup duration:
- 2,016Wh capacity / 1,800W output
- Up to 21 hours of refrigerator runtime
- Expandable to 8,064Wh with additional battery packs
- 4W ultra-low standby consumption
- Up to 70% higher efficiency compared to conventional systems
This balance of performance and efficiency ensures users get longer, more reliable backup when it matters most.
Smart Features for Unpredictable Outages
To address the uncertainty of real-world outages, FridgePower integrates intelligent energy management features:
- <10ms UPS switchover for seamless power continuity
- Automatic pre-charging based on weather forecasts
- Real-time system alerts and monitoring
- Remote control via mobile app
These capabilities help users stay prepared and in control before, during, and after outages.
Safety Standards for Canadian Homes
FridgePower is engineered to meet recognized safety and performance standards:
- UL 1778 (UPS safety)
- UL 1741 (inverter and grid-interactive systems)
These certifications ensure compliance for residential backup applications across Canada.
