BLUETTI will open pre-orders on July 1 for the Elite 100 V2, a lighter, more compact successor to the company’s AC180 portable power station. The new model keeps the outgoing unit’s 1,800-watt AC output and 1,024 Wh battery but trims overall volume by 35 percent and weight by 30 percent, coming in at roughly 25 pounds—small enough to stow under a car seat.
Despite its downsized footprint, the Elite 100 V2 raises peak capability through a 2,700-watt “Lifting Power” mode (3,600 watt surge) to start higher-draw appliances such as kettles, portable air-conditioners, or full-size refrigerators. Eleven output ports cover most use cases, including four AC outlets, two USB-C (one up to 140 W), two USB-A, a car socket, and dual DC5521 jacks.
Charging speeds improve across the board. TurboBoost technology allows up to 1,200 W AC input for an 80 percent refill in about 45 minutes, while solar capacity climbs to 1,000 W, cutting a full sunlight recharge to roughly 70 minutes. An optional 560 W alternator charger can top the unit in under two hours while driving, making the V2 a viable off-grid companion for RV and overlanding trips.
The power station uses upgraded lithium iron phosphate cells rated for more than 4,000 cycles to 80 percent capacity, translating to a projected ten-year service life. Additional features include a 10-millisecond uninterruptible-power-supply mode, noise levels as low as 30 dB, and app-based Bluetooth and Wi-Fi control for managing charge profiles, receiving low-battery alerts, and monitoring performance.
