SpecificationValue
Storage
CapacityHow much energy the battery stores. Bigger means longer runtime or more of your own solar power used later.1,024 Wh
Battery chemistryLFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for long life and stable behaviour with heat.LiFePO4
Cycle lifeHow many full charge and discharge cycles the cells are rated for before they hold less than the stated share of their original capacity.Over 4,000 cycles. BLUETTI's UK page does not state the capacity limit
ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system.Not stated
Output
AC output (continuous)The power it can deliver all the time. Add up the watts of what you want to run at once and stay below this.1,800 W, 230 V, 50/60 Hz. The UK page says 9 ports in total without a breakdown
AC output (surge)A short burst above the continuous rating, for appliances that draw more power when they start.Not stated
Power Lifting ModeA mode that runs some heating devices above the normal output rating. Only for devices that allow it.BLUETTI lists 2,700 W 'Lifting Power'. The page does not define it as a surge rating
USB-APorts for phones, tablets and small devices.2 ports, 5 V 3 A, 15 W max each
USB-CPorts for laptops, phones and tablets. Power delivery up to 100 W can charge most laptops.2 ports: 140 W (up to 28 V 5 A) and 100 W (up to 20 V 5 A)
Car outletA 12 V socket like the one in a car, for car accessories.1 outlet, 12 V 10 A, shared 10 A limit with the DC5521 ports
DC5521A small round DC connector used by routers, cameras and LED lights.2 ports, 12 V 5 A each (8 A combined)
Wireless chargingA pad on the unit that charges a compatible phone without a cable.Not listed in the manual
Charging
AC chargingHow fast it charges from a wall socket. Higher means a shorter wait.1,200 W max
Time to charge from the mainsHow long a full charge takes from a wall socket.80% in 45 minutes (at 25 °C, per the manual). The UK page also says 'Full in 1.8 hours' without naming the method
Solar inputHow much solar panel power it accepts. A higher figure fills the battery faster on a sunny day.1,000 W max, 12-60 V, 20 A max (panel open-circuit voltage at most 60 V)
Solar charging timeHow long a full charge takes from solar panels, in the conditions the maker names.Full charge in 70 minutes (BLUETTI's figure; conditions not stated)
Car chargingCharging from a car's 12 V or 24 V socket while driving. Slow, but useful on the road.Via the 12 V car socket. The UK page says 6 times faster than standard car chargers; no rating is given
Backup switchover (EPS)What happens when the grid fails. EPS means it takes over automatically.10 ms or less
Pass-through chargingWhether it can power devices while it is itself being charged.Not stated. The manual lists a combined AC input and bypass limit of 2,300 W
Housing and warranty
Dimensions (L × W × H)Check the space before you buy, including room around it for airflow and cables.320 × 215 × 250 mm (the manual gives three numbers without naming the axes)
WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it.About 11.5 kg
Operating temperatureThe range it is rated to work in. Cold and heat can reduce performance.Charging 0 to 40 °C; discharging -20 to 40 °C
Noise levelFan noise while working.30 dB under 600 W on the UK page; the manual gives 50 dB as the maximum
Protection ratingIP ratings show protection from dust and water. IP55 and IP65 are rated for outdoor-style exposure; check the installation guidance.Not stated
WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ.Not stated. The UK page lists a 'Global Warranty' without a length

How long will it run your devices?

Choose how many of each device you want to run at the same time. The wattages are typical figures, so check the label on your own devices.

The estimate assumes 85% of the rated capacity is usable after conversion losses. BLUETTI does not state this figure, so we use a cautious assumption. Real running times vary with temperature, battery age and how each device draws power.

Rules where you live

A portable power station is not wired into your home, so it is simple to use almost anywhere. Connecting one to your home circuits to power the house is different, and the rules for that vary by country. See our country guides for the rules, incentives and prices where you live.

Strengths and things to check

Strengths

  • 1,800 W output at about 11.5 kg
  • 1,000 W solar input
  • 10 ms UPS switchover or faster
  • Two USB-C ports, one at 140 W
  • Over 4,000 cycles (BLUETTI's figure)

Worth checking before you buy

  • Not stated as expandable
  • The warranty length is not stated on the UK page
  • Dimensions and temperatures come from a manual that lists AU and ZA contacts
  • Noise: 30 dB at light loads, up to 50 dB at maximum
  • Not a home battery: do not connect it to your home circuits in a way that lets it feed the house

Where this information comes from

We have not tested the Elite 100 V2. Figures come from BLUETTI's UK product page and from the Elite 100 V2 user manual V3.1 (BLUETTI states no region, but it lists Australian and South African support contacts and 230 V, 50 Hz ratings), last checked on 10 November 2026. A value that BLUETTI does not state is shown as not stated.

We do not show prices, because they change often and differ between sellers.

Common questions about BLUETTI Elite 100 V2

What can the Elite 100 V2 run?

BLUETTI rates it at 1,800 W continuous, so a kettle or a small heater is within reach, though not for long on 1,024 Wh. Divide 1,024 Wh by the device's draw for a rough running time.

What is Lifting Power?

BLUETTI lists 2,700 W of 'Lifting Power' for the Elite 100 V2. Its UK page does not explain it as a surge rating, so we do not count it in the running-time estimate.

Is the Elite 100 V2 the same as a home battery?

No. It is a portable power station that you plug devices into. An installed home battery is wired into your electrics by an electrician. See our guide to plug-in and installed home batteries.
