BLUETTI Power Inc., a Nevada corporation based in Las Vegas, sells BLUETTI in the US, and the brand belongs to Shenzhen PowerOak Newener Co., Ltd. of Shenzhen, China.

The BLUETTI B1210 is a 12.8 V, 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery storing 1,280 Wh in an IP65 case, with a built-in heater and Bluetooth monitoring through the BLUETTI app. BLUETTI's manual gives a 100 A maximum continuous discharge, a 300 A peak for 8 seconds and a 10 to 14.6 V operating window.
It takes 50 A of charge current recommended and 100 A at most. It charges from 32 to 131 °F on its own and down to -4 °F while a charger supplies more than 1 A to run the heater, which BLUETTI's page says switches on below 32 °F and holds the cells near 77 °F.
It measures 11.42 x 6.81 x 9.04 in, weighs about 24.25 lb and has LINK IN and LINK OUT ports beside M8 terminals. Up to 4 units run in series and up to 24 in parallel, with an Edock interface box, sold separately, needed above 8 in parallel and for talking to third-party devices.
The manual rates it for 6,000 cycles while retaining 70 percent capacity at 0.5C and 77 °F. In the box are the battery, four M8x20 and two M8x30 bolts, six M8 flange nuts, an Ethernet cable, two terminal covers and the manual with warranty card. BLUETTI's page gives it a 5-year warranty.
