Bluetti has expanded its Elite series lineup by introducing the latest Elite 100 V2 portable power station globally. The portable power station builds on the success of the AC180 and brings noticeable upgrades over the predecessor, from improved output power and battery life to a more compact and lightweight design.
More specifically, the Elite 100 V2 is now more compact and lighter than the last-generation model, measuring 320 x 215 x 250 mm (12.5 x 8.4 x 9.8 inches) and weighing around 11.5 kg (25.3 lbs). By contrast, the AC180 comes in at 340 x 247 x 317 mm (13.3 x 9.7 x 12.4 inches) and 17 kg (37 lbs). It’s compact enough to easily fit under a car seat or in a trunk, said Bluetti in its press release.
Bluetti’s Elite 100 V2, designed to be used for camping and short power outages, boasts a 1,024 Wh LiFePO4 battery that supports Bluetti’s TurboBoost fast-charging technology. According to the brand, the TurboBoost charging tech refills the power station from 0 to 80% in just 45 minutes. Alternatively, there’s also a solar charging option; with 1000 W solar input, a full charge takes as little as 70 minutes. Needless to say, the gadget’s LiFePO₄ battery has been rated for 4,000 discharge cycles, up from 3,500 from the last-generation model.
Furthermore, the portable power station offers a maximum power output of 2,700 W and 3,600 W surge power and is capable of powering up to 11 devices simultaneously, including drones, smartphones, laptops, microwaves, fans, coffee/ice makers, and even portable projectors. In terms of ports, Bluetti offers a total of 11 ports on the Elite 100 V2, namely four AC outlets, a 100 W USB-C, two USB-A, a car socket, and newly added 140 W USB-C and dual DC5521 ports. Moreover, Bluetti also offers a dedicated companion app for the power station to further tweak the power station’s settings and monitor overall performance.
