At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers weighing two similarly weighted LFP portable power stations for home backup, camping, or solar-dependent use. The Bluetti AC180 leads with 1800W of running power and a larger 1152 Wh battery, while the VTOMAN Jump 1500X tops out at 1500W and 828 Wh. That capacity gap translates directly into device coverage: the AC180 powered 39 out of 53 tested devices versus 33 for the Jump 1500X.
Solar recharge speed tells a similar story. The AC180 accepts up to 500W of solar input and refills in roughly 4.1 hours; the Jump 1500X maxes out at 200W, stretching a full charge to about 8.3 hours. One area where the VTOMAN unit pulls ahead is expandability, letting you add external batteries for longer runtime, something the AC180 does not support.
Both weigh 36.2 lbs, so portability is a wash.
