After spending a few weeks with the new Elite 200V2 I'd like to share my thoughts. This unit is what I've been using exclusively for any domestic task I could think of. The 2kwh battery, and 2600w pure sine inverter made it capable of running almost all of my daily use electronics and appliances. The primary use for all of my medium and large power stations is keeping our household running during any kind of blackout or power emergency. The testing I did was largely based with this goal in mind, and what necessities could be run in that kind of situation. Charging test: The weather where I live is volatile on a good day, and leads to power disruptions pretty often. Quick charging is a necessity because of this. During my initial Turbo charging test (AC ONLY) from 0%, these were the results: 50% in 43 minutes 80% in 68 minutes (1.1 hours) 100% in 85 minutes (1.4 hours) These times can be lowered significantly if you run solar input simultaneously, all the way down to an insane 80% in 50 minutes. Since my primary use for this unit is backup power in an emergency, I've got a pretty specific list of what I need it to handle. Our first priority is keeping our two deep freezers and fridge running, as well as a few fans for comfort. The 200V2 is more than capable of handling all of that at once. With the 1000w solar input option, it could keep it up for a while depending on the load. It will run our air fryer and microwave which was very important to my wife. Knowing the kids will have a warm dinner, and the baby will have warm bottles no matter what gives her peace of mind. This power station is the first one to score a 95%+ efficiency rating on the AC circuitry. It's designed to run AC loads without a huge loss which makes it ideal for our uses. The selection of DC ports has come in handy as well. There are 2 type C ports, 2 type A ports, and a 12v cig adapter. I do wish there were more 12v options here, but I'm happy overall with what was provided. The Elite 200V2 has recently spent some time at my shop, alongside my smaller EB3A and X20. I work as a 12v technician and frequently need access to mobile power when outside of the bay during installations. The unit has been capable of running everything I need to help keep my shop going during a power outage, or just to use for convenience while in and out of customer's vehicles. When it comes to uses for "fun" the 200V2 has been great for field charging an assortment of lipo batteries. My daughter and I run our collection of RC vehicles and frequently go to meetups. Our dual bank lipo battery chargers can charge a 3S or 6S battery simultaneously. Both are 6500mah, using around 350wh of the 200V2's capacity. At that rate, we're able to run all day! The built-in user interface is simple to use and provides lots of information pertaining to charging, capacity, and load information for both AC and DC outputs. This consists of 3 simple buttons. Power, AC, and DC. Some of the settings can be accessed and changed via a combination of these 3 buttons, but some of these settings can be easier to change through the app. The 200V2, along with others, give you access to the official Bluetti app. It gives you access and control over your power station through Bluetooth or Wifi. This has been a big benefit for us because I can see what's going on with a unit at our house while I'm at work. The app also gives you access to features like an energy calculator, which takes the guesswork out of determining how much battery storage you need. Because I have multiple Bluetti power stations the app makes it easier to keep track of everything we've got running. Servicing my units through the app has also been a perk. I recently ran into a charging issue with my AC180, and Bluetti was able to send me a firmware update through the app that quickly resolved it. The entire experience converted me from ever buying a power station without an app again. It keeps me from the hassle of returning a unit for small issues that aren't hardware related. Aside from the app being a bonus, customer support was top notch. The issue I mentioned was resolved within minutes and their team was really responsive. Now let's talk about where this power station falls under Bluetti's line up of products. Bluetti has a few different 2 KWH units available, so what differentiates this one from the rest? In my opinion, comparing this against the similarly priced and spec'd AC200L, this falls in the category of "Grab and Go". Compared to the likes of the AC200L, it has a smaller form factor and lighter weight coming in at 53 pounds vs the AC200L at 62 pounds. The Ac200L has a 1200w solar input limit, with a VOC of 145V. The Elite 200V2 has a similar solar input wattage cap at 1000w, however the MPPT controller limits you to just 60V of input through your panels making it more difficult to achieve maximum input. The AC200L is also expandable with Bluetti's separate battery modules, whereas the Elite 200V2 is not. These things being said, the AC200L is more likely to be purchased and used as a semi permanently placed home backup or used to help reduce everyday costs, paired with a large solar array. The Elite 200V2 is more likely to be purchased in the case of emergencies, travel, events, or tailgating. While I do have this unit to provide power during power outages, I use this in more situations outside the home than my larger AC200MAX. As far as cons on the Elite 200V2, I only have a couple. This might just be me nit-picking, but I prefer the clicky, more tactile buttons of the AC180, vs the rubbery, harder to press buttons on the 200V2. I also wish the unit had a 30A 12v output similar to the AC200MAX, or at the very least some 5521 output ports. Overall this power station is a home run. It's insanely compact for the amount of power you get. It packs as much juice as my AC200MAX, but outputs significantly more power. This is one of the best bang for the buck power stations on the market. I believe this unit to be one of the best options for medium size power station portability in this price range on the market as of the beginning of 2025.

This is a powerful battery (2KW) in a relatively small package (55 lbs), that is a quality product which is quiet and easy to use.

Delivery was very good. It was well protected for shipping. I live at least an hour away from a good grocery store and have a mini fridge in my van. The Bluetti worked great for hours and kept everything cold. It used 2% per hour for both a mini fridge and a regular size fridge. It's nice to know that if I have a power outage, the Bluetti will keep my food cold. It's on the heavy side though. I am so looking forward to camping off grid with my Bluetti Elite 200 V2. It charges quickly too.

Terrible product, quality and customer service. EcoFlow is a much better company to deal with and a product with easy to use features. I do not recommend you purchase this product. I am stuck with this unit after trying it. Buyer beware.

So far it’s living up to all the fanfare. It arrived in 2 weeks and everything seems to be working. I got it as a backup when the power goes out. Would be nice if they included the power cord for the 12v charging…
