BLUETTI Elite 100 V2

In this bluetti elite 100 v2 review, the short answer is that the BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 is the best lightweight 1kWh portable power station in our 2026 guide, ranking fifth of ten. It pairs a 1,024Wh lithium iron phosphate battery with 1,800W AC output, 2,700W of lifting power and 11 ports, all in a 25.3 pound body that measures 12.6 by 8.5 by 9.8 inches. BLUETTI sells it for $499, and it holds a 4.6 star rating from 1,767 Amazon ratings. Buy it if you want a full 1kWh of capacity that one person can carry upstairs or into a tent.

The charging speed is the headline feature. A 1,200W TurboBoost AC feed refills the battery in about 70 minutes, and it reaches 80% in roughly 45 minutes, while up to 1,000W of solar does the same job off-grid. Adding the optional Charger 1 cuts vehicle charging time by up to six times the normal rate. During a blackout, the 10ms UPS switchover keeps a Wi-Fi router and a desktop PC running without a reboot. The LiFePO4 cells are rated for 4,000+ cycles, so daily use for a decade is realistic. Meanwhile, the 30 decibel operation stays below normal conversation, which matters in a tent or a van. On top of that, the concealed handle and 17 liter shell make one hand carrying realistic, and 11 ports cover laptops, phones and a mini fridge.

At $499 for 1,024Wh, the BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 works out near $0.49 per watt-hour, a fair price for a lithium iron phosphate station that ships with a solar charging cable. That said, the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Classic in our guide delivers a higher 3,600W surge for heavier motor loads, and the Anker and Jackery picks both edge it on owner rating at 4.7 stars. In practice, the 2,700W lifting mode handles resistive loads well, yet a large microwave may still balk. Even so, few rivals this light offer a 70 minute AC recharge and a 10ms UPS mode together. If you camp, tailgate or want a router and PC to survive an outage, this is the one to get. Skip it if you plan to run heavy power tools or a whole-home circuit.
