A Bluetti FridgePower Amazon deal has knocked the portable power station down to $949.99, according to Mashable’s deal coverage, cutting $549.01 from its $1,499 list price.

The July 28 listing puts the fridge-focused backup battery at a 37% discount. The pitch is straightforward: when the power quits, the refrigerator does not have to join it right away.

Mashable framed the deal around outage prep, especially for households trying to keep refrigerator and freezer food cold when grid power drops. The Bluetti FridgePower is designed as a refrigerator backup power station, rather than a general camping battery alone.

How does the Bluetti FridgePower work?

According to Mashable, the setup is meant to be low-fuss: put the slim power station on top of the refrigerator, plug the fridge into the Bluetti unit, then plug the Bluetti into wall power.

The device is designed to stay fully charged while grid power is available. If it detects an outage, Mashable reported that it can switch over within 10 milliseconds and keep the refrigerator cooling from battery power.

The model has a 2,016Wh capacity, which Mashable said can keep a refrigerator running for almost a full day. Actual runtime can vary by refrigerator and usage, but the stated figure gives shoppers the key comparison point for outage planning.

What is refrigerator backup power?

Refrigerator backup power is a battery system meant to sit between a fridge and a wall outlet, taking over when electricity from the grid stops. It is built to reduce food spoilage during outages by keeping cold storage powered for a limited period.

Mashable noted that portable power stations have become useful for camping and blackouts, while major brands are now pushing a more specific category aimed at refrigerators. The Jackery FridgeGuard launched earlier this summer, and Bluetti’s FridgePower followed in the same backup-power lane.

What else can the Bluetti unit power?

Although the FridgePower name points straight at the kitchen, Mashable reported that the unit can also be used elsewhere in the home. The examples cited include keeping an aquarium’s filtration running or powering a workstation.

That makes the sale relevant beyond one appliance, though the main hook remains the refrigerator: during an outage, cold food is on a clock, and a dedicated backup battery can buy more time.

The deal is listed at Amazon through Mashable’s linked offer. As with any online discount, shoppers may want to check the final price and availability before buying, since deal pricing can change without much warning.
