Bluetti, a Chinese manufacturer of energy storage and portable power systems, has unveiled what it calls “the world’s first sodium-ion portable power station”.
Announced at IFA 2025 in Berlin, the Pioneer Na uses sodium-ion cells and has a capacity of 900 Wh with a 1,500 W power output. In a special mode for purely resistive loads, output can scale up to 2,250 W.
A key feature is temperature performance: the Pioneer Na can be charged at -15 °C and discharged at -25 °C. It supports 1,900 W of solar input, offers a 4,000-cycle lifetime, and weighs 16 kg – around 20 to 25% heavier than comparable traditional lithium iron phosphate (LFP) portable stations.
In addition, by comparison, LFP batteries generally require temperatures above 0 °C to charge.
At -25 °C, the Pioneer Na delivers 80% discharge capacity, powering devices up to 1,500 W. Below -10 °C (14 °F), it can recharge to 60% state of charge.
Bluetti is emphasizing its benefits in cold climates, suggesting it is well-suited for households in colder regions looking for reliable backup power. The company is also supplying a polar explorer heading to Antarctica and the South Pole, where the new model will be tested.
Bluetti didn’t focus on or discuss possible safety benefits from the sodium-ion or Na-ion cells when compared to LFP or other lithium-ion-based chemistries. Na-ion cells may demonstrate improved safety if cells are punctured, and have a higher threshold for thermal runaway.
The Pioneer Na will be available globally from October 15, 2025, via Bluetti’s official website. Pricing has not yet been announced.
FridgePower, RVSolar 48V System
Bluetti also introduced the FridgePower Portable Power Station, a 75 mm LFP battery unit with a 2,016 Wh capacity and 1,800 W output. The unit is designed to remain plugged in between grid power and a refrigerator, making grid outages easier to manage.
For camping and mobile home users, Bluetti also showed its new RVSolar 48V System. As an open system, it supports compatible third-party batteries, electrical panels, solar panels, and components via the open CAN protocol, providing greater flexibility. In particular, the new RV5 Power Hub is a 5-in-1 integrated system, streamlining an inverter charger, MPPT solar charger, alternator charger, DC converter, and circuit protection into a single compact unit for easy and safe installation.
It is also designed for simplified 30-minute installation, and global availability is expected from September 30, 2025. Bluetti representatives told ESS News that the RVSolar 48V System would be priced at between €3,000 and €4,000.
