What to know about BLUETTI Pioneer Na

The first mass-produced sodium-ion power station: 900Wh and 1,500W. BLUETTI rates it to charge at 5°F and discharge to -13°F without a heater. Popular Science's best for extreme cold. A niche essentials unit for unheated cabins and garages, sold only through BLUETTI's store.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

It's the only unit here built for cold without a heater. Per BLUETTI's store page, it charges down to 5°F and discharges to -13°F. Popular Science names it best for extreme cold, based on first impressions.

That makes it a useful second unit for a cabin, garage or ice shack where lights, a router, phones and a CPAP need power with the battery below freezing.

What to know

Skip it as home backup. It holds just 900Wh, recharges only to 60% below 14°F, and BLUETTI's charge times assume a battery at 50 to 77°F. It's sold through BLUETTI's store, where $799 is a promotion against an $899 list price. Check price and stock there.
