Bluetti EB3A (Discontinued)

Bluetti EB3A: 268.8 Wh LiFePO4, 600 W continuous, 1,200 W surge, now marked discontinued. Small-load runtimes with Bluetti's 0.81 factor.

Which version: Not the EB3 or EB70/EB70S: different capacity and outputs; the maker page now titles it '(Discontinued) BLUETTI EB3A'.

The maker no longer lists this model as current. Specs below are from the last page we opened.

The EB3A is Bluetti's small 268.8 Wh LiFePO4 station, now titled "(Discontinued) BLUETTI EB3A" on the maker's page and shown out of stock. It is not the EB3 or the EB70/EB70S, which have different capacity and outputs.

What 600 W and 1,200 W cover

Bluetti rates 600 W continuous and 1,200 W surge across two AC outlets. The compact refrigerator (156 W running, 540 W start) and the 5,000 BTU window AC (450 W, 1,200 W start) fit; the top-freezer refrigerator needs exactly 1,200 W to start, which leaves no margin. The 1/3 HP sump pump (1,600 W start) does not fit.

Runtime with Bluetti's own factor

Bluetti publishes a runtime formula for the EB3A with 90 % depth of discharge and 90 % efficiency. Using the maker's published 0.81 factor: the compact refrigerator at its 22 W yearly average runs about 9.9 hours (268.8 Wh × 0.81 ÷ 22 W), a Wi-Fi router at 42 W about 5.2 hours, and the window AC at 450 W only about 0.5 hours.

The battery is rated for 2,500+ cycles to 80 % of original capacity. Other makers use different end-of-life thresholds (how makers define cycle life).

What the maker states and leaves out

The page lists "24/7 EPS" but gives no switch-over time, so none appears here. Turbo wall charging at 350 W takes about 1.3–1.8 hours; standard mode is 268 W. The EB3A cannot connect B230 or B300 expansion batteries. Warranty is 24 months.

Add your appliances to the calculator to check your own load against the EB3A.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Bluetti EB3A run a CPAP?

The CPAP in our database (ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet, 53 W running) fits within 600 W. At its 34 W average, 268.8 Wh × 0.81 ÷ 34 W gives about 6.4 hours with Bluetti's factor. Planning figures only — confirm with the device manufacturer before relying on a power station for this device.

Can it run a full-size refrigerator?

Only just. The top-freezer refrigerator needs 1,200 W to start — exactly the EB3A's surge rating — and at its 47 W average the battery lasts about 4.6 hours.

Is the EB3A still sold?

Bluetti's page marks it discontinued and out of stock; the listed price is the last one shown.

What warranty does it have?

Bluetti states 24 months.

Can I add an extra battery?

No. Bluetti's FAQ says it cannot connect B230 or B300 batteries.
