Specifications
Last checked on 11 November 2026. The grey text under each name explains what the value means.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Storage | |
| CapacityHow much energy the battery stores. Bigger means longer runtime or more of your own solar power used later. | 268 Wh |
| Battery chemistryLFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for long life and stable behaviour with heat. | LiFePO4 |
| Cycle lifeHow many full charge and discharge cycles the cells are rated for before they hold less than the stated share of their original capacity. | 2,500 cycles to 80% capacity |
| ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system. | Not stated |
| Output | |
| AC output (continuous)The power it can deliver all the time. Add up the watts of what you want to run at once and stay below this. | 600 W, pure sine wave |
| AC output (surge)A short burst above the continuous rating, for appliances that draw more power when they start. | 1,200 W |
| USB-CPorts for laptops, phones and tablets. Power delivery up to 100 W can charge most laptops. | 100 W Type-C output (BLUETTI does not state how many ports) |
| Car outletA 12 V socket like the one in a car, for car accessories. | Yes, one car socket. The current rating is not stated |
| Wireless chargingA pad on the unit that charges a compatible phone without a cable. | Yes, BLUETTI lists a wireless charger among the 8 outputs. Its power is not stated |
| Charging | |
| AC chargingHow fast it charges from a wall socket. Higher means a shorter wait. | Up to 430 W when charging from solar and AC together (BLUETTI's 'Max. Fast Dual Charging'). The AC-only rate is not stated |
| Time to charge from the mainsHow long a full charge takes from a wall socket. | 80% in 40 minutes with 430 W fast charging. Full-charge time is not stated |
| Solar inputHow much solar panel power it accepts. A higher figure fills the battery faster on a sunny day. | 200 W max |
| Car chargingCharging from a car's 12 V or 24 V socket while driving. Slow, but useful on the road. | Yes, one of 6 ways to recharge (AC, solar, car, generator, AC plus solar, AC plus adapter). The rating is not stated |
| Backup switchover (EPS)What happens when the grid fails. EPS means it takes over automatically. | Not stated |
| Pass-through chargingWhether it can power devices while it is itself being charged. | Not stated |
| Housing and warranty | |
| Dimensions (L × W × H)Check the space before you buy, including room around it for airflow and cables. | Not stated on the page text (the specification table is an image) |
| WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it. | Not stated on the page text |
| Operating temperatureThe range it is rated to work in. Cold and heat can reduce performance. | Not stated |
| Noise levelFan noise while working. | Not stated |
| Protection ratingIP ratings show protection from dust and water. IP55 and IP65 are rated for outdoor-style exposure; check the installation guidance. | Not stated |
| WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ. | 2 years, according to BLUETTI's UK page |
How long will it run your devices?

The estimate assumes 85% of the rated capacity is usable after conversion losses. BLUETTI does not state this figure, so we use a cautious assumption. Real running times vary with temperature, battery age and how each device draws power.

Rules where you live
A portable power station is not wired into your home, so it is simple to use almost anywhere. Connecting one to your home circuits to power the house is different, and the rules for that vary by country. See our country guides for the rules, incentives and prices where you live.

Where this information comes from
We have not tested the EB3A. Every figure above comes from BLUETTI's UK product page, last checked on 11 November 2026. The page's specification table is an image, so size, weight and most electrical limits were not available as text. A value BLUETTI does not state is shown as not stated.
We do not show prices, because they change often and differ between sellers.

Common questions about BLUETTI EB3A
What can the EB3A run?
BLUETTI rates it at 600 W continuous with a 1,200 W surge, so small loads such as a laptop, a small fridge or a blender are in range. With 268 Wh, running time is short at high loads.
Is the EB3A still sold?
BLUETTI's UK page marks the EB3A as discontinued. Check the maker's current range for the successor model.
Is the EB3A the same as a home battery?
No. It is a portable power station that you plug devices into. An installed home battery is wired into your electrics by an electrician. See our guide to plug-in and installed home batteries.
