BLUETTI, a producer of clean energy solutions, announced that it has received two TIME Best Inventions of 2025 Awards. The announcement coincides with the official market launch of Pioneer Na, which earned a Special Mention in the “Outdoors” category for its sodium-ion battery technology designed for safety in extreme cold. The Apex 300, also recognized in TIME’s “Green Energy” category, highlights BLUETTI’s versatile power solution for home, RV and broader off-grid use, according to a press release.
Pioneer Na’s advanced sodium-ion cells operate reliably in extreme cold, charging at temperatures as low as -15°C (5°F) and discharging down to -25°C (-13°F). This overcomes a critical challenge where many lithium-ion batteries can fail, making it a dependable power source for winter storm preparedness and cold-weather adventures, the company said. Its sodium-ion chemistry also ensures thermal stability, lowering fire risks for everyday use.
The Pioneer Na delivers 900Wh of capacity and a 1,500W output ( 2,250W peak) through 11 versatile outlets, powering everything from phones to electric kettles. Its sodium-ion chemistry offers a sustainable alternative to lithium and cobalt, minimizing environmental impact while providing long-term value with a 10-year lifespan and just 1.5 W standby loss, according to the BLUETTI press release. It also supports rapid 0%-80% charging in just 35 minutes. To prove its durability, the unit is slated to be tested during an upcoming Antarctic expedition, the company said.
Also honored by TIME, the Apex 300 is recognized for its modular design and smart scalability. It features a record-low 20 W AC idle draw, a long-lasting LiFePO₄ battery with up to a 17-year lifespan and an intuitive one-touch toggle for 120V and 240V output, according to the press release. Its adaptable design serves diverse needs, from emergency home battery backup, RV vanlife, to fully automated whole-home energy systems, the company said.
Following a successful $5.4 million Indiegogo campaign, the Apex 300 Portable Power Station is globally available now. Eligible U.S. homeowners can leverage the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit for their investment with the program set to expire on Dec. 31, 2025.
