I’ve done about ten different Bluetti reviews along with many other power stations over the years, and most of them try to sell you on some kind of uniquely marketable feature. The Elite 200 V2 has very few marketable features – no special ports (or number of ports), battery swapping or expansion, or other gimmicks…but what it does have is serious storage and power output. The Elite 200 V2 isn’t sexy…but it sure is practical! It’s the most powerful portable unit I’ve tested, and with a 2073.6Wh, it’s also got more battery capacity. The Elite 200 V2 is going to be a serious asset for camping, overlanding, and backup situations. For my full thoughts, check out the video review below or read through my review notes I’ll share here.

Thanks to Bluetti for sending me a review sample. As always, this is a completely independent review. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.

Tests

Instead of blender or kettle – could run them BOTH (first time)
Tested for power outage with full size fridge (30 hours)
Standard things hardly phase the battery storage
Fastest recharge time via AC I’ve seen (as high as 1804W)
Pulled a fast 1446W even in standard mode

Huge capacity | Huge Power
Noticeably more compact than similar specced units
Super fast charge times (1.4 hours)
Power lift

All plugs are 20Amp

Better specs and better price than previous generation

Things I Don’t Like

Would like 240 bridge option for more home backup flexibility

Conclusion

The Elite 200 V2 doesn’t jump out at you because of some killer feature, but I was more and more impressed with it as I used it. The specs where it matters are next level, and it is a great value at this price relative to the competition. Strong value at $899 USD | 1599 CDN not as competitive.
