Data from official source

The Elite 300 is a LiFePO4 battery power station designed to stay connected to a home outlet and step in on its own when power fails: it switches over in a few milliseconds, enough that a connected computer doesn't lose its work. Outside of an outage it also works as a portable generator, with inputs for a solar panel, the car and a generator, and the ability to charge and power loads at the same time.

It charges quickly from the grid and in a couple of hours from the sun alone at full output, and it handles a fridge, a router or a microwave without strain; for loads with a motor or compressor it's best to stay under continuous power, because startup demands more energy than the load needs once running. Control is through the physical buttons or the BLUETTI app over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which is also used to schedule automatic on and off times.

It has a handle and moves on its own between home, camper van and campsite, though it's not a weight you'd carry up the stairs willingly; it takes up about as much space as a medium-sized crate, with an operating temperature range from minus twenty to forty degrees. It's the right choice for anyone who wants to cover a home power outage or carry energy away from home without going up in capacity; anyone who needs to power an entire electrical panel for longer should look at larger sizes.

Which documents this page rests on

The rest of the data comes from one page on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.

A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.

03 · Summary

Pros and cons

In favour

  • When power fails, a connected computer doesn't notice: switchover is a matter of milliseconds.
  • It charges from the outlet and the sun together, and reaches 80% in about an hour and a quarter.
  • It has a handle and loads into a car by yourself: it covers a home power outage and heads out for the weekend without changing anything. source
  • It handles a motor's startup surge, so a fridge or a pump starts up again without tripping the protection.

Worth knowing

  • It has only two wall outlets: to plug in more, a power strip is still needed.
  • The app requires a BLUETTI account for scheduling and firmware updates. source
  • The fast charging time quoted only applies when charging from the grid and a solar panel together, not from the outlet alone.
