BLUETTI Shrinks Its Signature 1kWh Portable Power Station to New Elite 100 V2

Last Updated on: 1st July 2025, 03:29 pm

If you’re gearing up for summer camping, van life, or just want a smarter way to prep for short blackouts, BLUETTI may have just launched one of its most practical products to date. The new Elite 100 V2 builds on the success of the popular AC180 Solar Generator (with over 500,000 units sold since 2023) and aims to strike a better balance between real-world portability and serious power. And for those who act fast, the launch window comes with one of the best values we’ve seen in the 1kWh class.

Solving the Portability vs. Power Dilemma

About the size of a carry-on and weighing only 25 lb, the Elite 100 V2 trims down 35% in volume and 30% in weight compared to its predecessor. But don’t be fooled—it’s still a powerhouse in performance. With a 1,024Wh capacity, it delivers 1,800W of AC power (3,600W peak) across 11 output ports, including four AC outlets, a 100W USB-C port, two USB-A ports, a car socket, and newly added 140W USB-C and dual DC5521 ports—more than enough for laptops, fans, portable coolers, and essential home devices during short outages.

Boosting Solar Input and Speeding Up Recharging

Recharging shouldn’t take hours—especially on the road. The Elite 100 V2 supports up to 1,000W of solar input, shaving more than half off the typical charge time. For home or campsite use, it supports 1,200W AC input, and with the optional Charger 1 Alternator Charger, you can even recharge up to 560W while driving—about six times faster than a standard car outlet. It is ideal for road trips, overlanding, or off-grid living.

Providing a Decade of Quiet, Intelligent Clean Power

Avoid ongoing generator maintenance and frequent replacements with the Elite 100 V2. Equipped with upgraded LiFePO₄ battery cells rated for over 4,000 cycles, it offers dependable power for 10+ years—delivering both long-term savings and environmental benefits.

A built-in 10ms UPS mode ensures essential devices stay powered during outages, while its quiet operation (as low as 30dB) makes it well suited for indoor and noise-sensitive environments.

The updated BLUETTI app enhances user experience with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity and customizable charging modes for greater control and flexibility.
