BLUETTI AC180P vs Goal Zero Yeti 1500X
BLUETTI AC180P and Goal Zero Yeti 1500X hold almost the same battery and sell to the same person, which means the decision comes down to the details around the pack rather than the pack itself.
Two machines aimed at the same buyer
Goal Zero Yeti 1500X holds a slim 5% more battery — 1516Wh against 1440Wh — and that is what decides how long either one lasts on the same load.
BLUETTI AC180P is the lighter of the two at 35.3 lbs, by 10.3 lb.
BLUETTI AC180P is rated for more charge cycles (3,500+ cycles to 80% against 500+ cycles to 80%) — though makers do not all test to the same remaining capacity, so read those two numbers side by side rather than as a ranking.
Drawn from 7 specifications each maker publishes, of which 7 differ. We have not handled either machine — see our methodology.
Side by side
| Specification | BLUETTI AC180P | Goal Zero Yeti 1500X |
|---|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 1440Wh | 1516Whbetter |
| Cell chemistry | LiFePO4 | LI-ion NMC |
| Cycle life | 3,500+ cycles to 80%better | 500+ cycles to 80% |
| Weight | 35.3 lbsbetter | 45.64 lbs(20.7kg) |
| Dimensions | 13.4x9.7x12.5 in | 1 5.25 x 10.23 x 10.37 in (38.74 x 25.98 x 26.34 cm) |
| USB-C output | 1 × 100W max | 18W max |
| Warranty | 5 Years | 2 years |
What that capacity actually runs
Watt-hours are hard to picture, so here is each pack as runtime on the loads a machine this size is usually bought for. Both columns assume 85% inverter efficiency — the conservative end of what these are rated at — so read every figure as a floor.
| Load | BLUETTI AC180P | Goal Zero Yeti 1500X |
|---|---|---|
| Laptop (60W) | 20 hours | 21 hours |
| CPAP, no humidifier (40W) | 1.3 days | 1.3 days |
| 12V camping fridge (45W average) | 1.1 days | 1.2 days |
| Starlink or router (55W) | 22 hours | 23 hours |
| Full-size fridge (150W average) | 8.2 hours | 8.6 hours |
From solar alone, at 70% of the panel input each maker quotes — a realistic day rather than a lab figure — the BLUETTI AC180P needs about 4.1 hours of good sun to refill .
Published by only one of them
A figure missing from a spec sheet is not a zero — it is a number the maker chose not to state. These appear on one page and not the other, so they cannot be compared, only noted.
- BLUETTI AC180P — AC output: 1800W, 4 outlets
- BLUETTI AC180P — AC input: 1440W
- BLUETTI AC180P — Max solar input: 500W
- BLUETTI AC180P — AC outlets: 4 x 120V/15A
- BLUETTI AC180P — USB-A output: 2 × 15W max
- BLUETTI AC180P — Operating temperature: 4°F-104°F (86°F-104°F: 1,500W Max.)
Where this comparison stops
Everything above is what the makers publish, not what either machine did in front of us. We own neither, so there is no noise measurement, no thermal behaviour under sustained load, and no view on how either holds up after two years. Makers also measure differently — cycle life at 80% capacity is not the same test as cycle life at 70% — so figures that look comparable sometimes are not. Treat this as a way to build a shortlist quickly, and read the caveats on our methodology page before you let a number decide.

Neither figure above is a price. These two move independently and often, and whichever is discounted this week is usually the answer when the specifications are as close as they are here.
