At IFA 2025, Bluetti unveiled the Pioneer Na, claiming it’s the first portable power station built around sodium-ion chemistry. It delivers 1,500 W continuous output and houses a 900 Wh sodium-ion battery. Its standout feature: it charges reliably down to −15°C (5°F) and powers devices at temperatures as low as −25°C (−13°F), a solid edge over lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries that typically freeze at 0°C and struggle below −20°C, says The Verge.
Bluetti shows that sodium-ion batteries aren’t just cold-proof; they’re also safer and resource-friendly. They don’t use lithium or cobalt and resist thermal runaway, good for over 4,000 charge cycles. Yet that advantage comes with trade-offs: sodium-ion batteries have lower energy density and depend on immature supply chains, making them bulkier, heavier, and likely costlier than LFP options. The Pioneer Na packs in at 16 kg (35 lb) and measures 340 × 247 × 317 mm, significantly larger than Bluetti’s Elite 100 V2 LFP model, which weighs 11.5 kg with a similar capacity and higher output.
Bluetti plans a global release on October 15, 2025, though pricing remains under wraps.
Alongside Pioneer Na, Bluetti introduced the FridgePower, a slim, behind-the-fridge backup that packs 2 kWh capacity, 1,800 W output, and supports up to three expansion packs for 8 kWh total. It aims to keep your fridge-freezer running nearly 24 hours during outages. It goes on sale in the market on November 4, 2025.
