Bluetti Elite 200 V2 Test & Review

Last Updated on: 7th July 2025, 06:33 pm

We recently received the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 to review, and we put it to the test. We plugged in all kinds of devices, and even half of a home, and the Elite 200 was up to the task! Let’s start with a video of my retired engineer friend testing it out with me, and then I’ll get back to a written summary, including further testing done after this video was produced.

As you can see in that video, it took us 30 minutes to charge the battery from 54% to 75%. We then tested out plugging in a bunch of different devices, including a hair dryer, a drill, a fan, and more.

We then went one big step further. Russ (my retired engineer friend) has a 4-circuit manual transfer switch installed at his house, able to take 15 amps normally or even up to 20 amps if needed. The transfer switch can transfer 4 circuits from the house to a portable power source — in this case, the Bluetti Elite 200. The 4 circuits he has wired here are for the internet, the refrigerator, the living room, and the master bedroom. In the master bedroom, he has a portable air conditioner (you can currently get something similar from Home Depot for $400), and he turned it on for the test. In the living room, a TV was on. After switching the power over to the Bluetti Elite 200, it handled all of these circuits and the devices plugged into them superbly! We had no issues at all.

We left those circuits powered by the Bluetti system and then plugged a bunch of devices into the other power ports again. We finally reached the system max, passed it, and the system kicked off to protect itself — as it should. The system max is 2,600W, but we pushed it up to 3,300W in order to overload it and see what happened. After it shut itself off, we just had to hit the reset button and it was ready to use appropriately again.

On a later date, we conducted more testing of the system, including charging it up with Bluetti portable solar panels. Here are some key notes:

• Charging from an electricity outlet: The power station was brought down to 0% and charged to 100% in approximately 1 hour and 52 minutes.
• Charging from two Bluetti solar panel arrays:
  • 12:00 pm — started at 25% charge at start
  • Initial output was 520–550 watts
  • 12:40 pm — reached 40%
  • 1:05 pm — reached 50%, output was at 600 watts
  • Cloud cover dropped solar wattage to 245 watts. (As clouds roll through, the wattage goes up and down — from 125 watts up to 600 watts.)
  • 2:25 pm — reached 80%
  • 3:39 pm — reached 100%.
• After getting to a full 100% charge, plugged into 6,000 watt portable AC unit, compressor drew 7.2 amps at 119.7 volts, 953 watts. Ran this for 45 minutes and drained the battery down to 61%.
• At 61% charge, unplugged portable AC unit, plugged in Keurig coffee machine.
  • Had a draw of 11.2 amps, 1,345 watts, and 119.2 volts.
  • Ran two each of small, medium, and large cups at 2 minutes each.
  • Drew the battery down to 56%.
• Temperature at power station was 110.8 degrees F and unit remained very quiet nonetheless.
• At 56% charge, plugged in:
  • Wine refrigerator — 0.7 amps, 120.1 volts, 109 watts
  • Air fryer — 12 amps, 119.7 volts, 1482 watts
  • Lamp — 15 watts and almost no amps
  • Left on for 15 minutes and power down to 45%.
  • Unit heated up to 116.2 degrees F but remained very quiet.
• At 45% charge, plugged in:
  • TV
  • Apple TV box
  • 60W lamp
  • Plugged in iPhone 16 Pro
  • Draw was minimum of 133 watts, .9 amps, and left on for 3 hours, eventually reaching 40% charge.
• Unplugged all items but left power station on. After 12 hours, unit was down to 34%, meaning there is an internal power draw (minimal) when left on.

Below are some pictures from our testing, but I think it’s most useful to watch the video for the full demo.

Moe info about the Bluetti Elite 200 v2 can be found on its webpage, of course. Click there for more info, but here are some core highlights:

• High-Capacity Power: With 2,073.6Wh capacity and 2,600W output, the Elite 200 V2 delivers impressive power to keep devices fully charged all day long!
• Versatile Applications: Powers up to 9 devices simultaneously – perfect for fueling your essentials during RVing, camping, and road trips.
• Advanced Battery Management: The AI-BMS (Battery Management System) monitors battery performance in real-time, guaranteeing safe and reliable power whenever it’s needed.
• TurboBoost Charging: Reaching 80% charge in just 1.1 hours, ensuring sufficient power on hand before heading out.
• Built for Safety: Feel confident with automotive-grade battery cells and a robust safety system to ensure reliable performance.
• Extended Warranty: Enjoy a 5-year warranty and dedicated customer support that’s always ready to help.

Overall, it’s a great system, it’s easy to use, it’s compact yet powerful, and we don’t have any complaints. So, I think we can offer a full endorsement if this is the energy capacity and power capacity system you’re interested in.
