Bluetti Portable Power Stations

Bluetti Power Stations Compared: Elite, Apex, AC and EP Series

Bluetti power stations share one layout: a LiFePO4 battery, a pure sine wave inverter and AC, USB and 12V outlets in a single case you plug panels into. What separates the models is how much they store, how much they push out at once, and which expansion batteries they accept. A Bluetti portable power station bought for camping often ends up as the household backup, so it pays to look at the expansion path before you pick a size.

This collection holds 8 units: the in-stock Elite 200 V2 and Apex 300, and the AC2P, EB3A, AC240P, EP500, EP500Pro and the AC300 inverter module, which are sold out at the moment. Prices start at $268 for the EB3A and reach $3,499 for the EP500Pro.

How to choose a Bluetti station

• Capacity class. Under 300Wh (AC2P at 230.4Wh, EB3A at 268Wh) covers phones, a laptop and a CPAP for a night. Around 2,000Wh, the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 (2,073.6Wh) runs a fridge through a day. Above 2,500Wh, the Bluetti Apex 300 (2,764.8Wh) and the 5,120Wh EP500 family are home-backup territory.
• Inverter rating. The EB3A is 600W, the AC240P is 2,400W, the Elite 200 V2 is 2,600W with a 3,900W lifting mode, and the Apex 300 is 3,840W. Pick the rating that clears your single largest appliance with margin.
• Expansion family. The Elite 200 V2 takes B80, B230 or B300 packs. The Apex 300 uses B300K and B500K packs and scales to 58kWh and 11.52kW. The AC300 is only an inverter module and needs at least one B300 battery to run at all.
• 240V need. Only the Apex 300 among in-stock units outputs 120V and 240V simultaneously. For a 120V-only house circuit or an RV, the Elite 200 V2 is enough.
• Weight and placement. The Elite 200 V2 is 53.4 lb and moves between car and campsite. The Apex 300 is built to stay put and switch loads in 0ms when the grid fails.

Setup and usage tips

• Before ordering, put your appliances and ZIP code into the Solar Kit Calculator. It tells you the watt-hours and inverter size you need and how many panels will refill the station in your climate.
• Charge the Elite 200 V2 from the wall the night before a trip; its TurboBoost mode reaches 80% in around 1.1 hours, so a last-minute top-up is realistic.
• Do not mix expansion families. A B500K will not plug into an Elite 200 V2, and a B230 will not run an Apex 300.
• Keep the fans clear. A station in a closed cabinet throttles output on hot days.
• If you want a Bluetti solar power station rather than wall charging only, add panels that stay under the unit's maximum solar input.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Elite 200 V2 and the Apex 300? About 700Wh of capacity, 1,240W of inverter headroom, and 240V output. The Elite 200 V2 is the lighter travel unit; the Apex 300 is the one you expand into a whole-home system.

Do Bluetti portable power stations work with third-party panels? Bluetti units accept standard solar input within their voltage and wattage limits. Check the station's maximum solar input, then match panel Voc and wattage to it, or call us for a compatible pairing.

How long do these batteries last? The B300K expansion pack is rated for 4,000 cycles and the Elite 200 V2 carries a 5-year warranty. Daily cycling still means roughly a decade of service.

All units ship free to the mainland US from brand partner warehouses, usually within a few business days, with 30-day returns. If a power station Bluetti makes seems close but not quite right for your loads, call us and we will match one to your list.
