  "summary": "204.8 Wh LiFePO4 ultra-compact power station with 300 W AC output (600 W surge/Power Lifting), a 1.2 h Turbo full recharge, 200 W solar input with MPPT, 100 W USB-C, and a 5-year warranty at just 3.6 kg.",
  "description": "The AC2A is BLUETTI's entry unit: a 204.8 Wh LiFePO4 pack rated for 3,000+ cycles to 80%, two AC outlets at 300 W continuous pure sine, and Power Lifting for resistive loads to 600 W (also the listed surge figure). Turbo charging accepts 270 W for an official 'fill it up' time of 1.2 hours, and the XT60 input takes 200 W of solar through MPPT. Pass-through is explicitly specified (570 W max: 270 W charging + 300 W load). At 3.6 kg it is the lightest unit in this index, with app control over Bluetooth only.",
