Be prepared for blackouts — Bluetti’s compact backup battery keeps your fridge running for nearly 22 hours, is easy to install, and even fast-charges itself when storms are forecast

• The Bluetti FridgePower keeps your food and temperature-sensitive medications cold for almost 22 hours in the event of a blackout
• Adding extra power packs can extend that to four days
• It’s available now for £899 / $999 / AU$2,299

If, like us, you’ve been a bit baffled by governments around the world suddenly telling us to stock up on tinned food, radios and bottled water, you might be interested in Bluetti’s new power pack specifically designed for fridges. With blackouts apparently expected everywhere at any time, the Bluetti FridgePower can keep your food and temperature-sensitive medications cold, even when the electricity goes out.

The FridgePower is a super slim battery pack with an uninterruptible power supply that delivers up to 1,800W of continuous output, and a claimed 21.6 hours of fridge/freezer backup. If you want to keep your fridge running during a longer outage, you can add extra power packs to extend the protection to up to four days.

If you think that sounds impressive, you’re not alone — the device has just been named as an honoree in the CES Innovation Awards 2027.
