RV FEATURE
I know what you’ re thinking: not another Bluetti solar generator review. Yes, it’ s no secret that we have a lot of respect for Bluetti’ s products, and they have featured a bit in recent issues of the magazine. Max reviewed the AC70 and car Charger 1 combination and found it very useful for his style of camping. I also used Bluetti’ s power stations as the basis for my recent comparison of the various Starlink systems.
The fact is that portable lithium power stations are experiencing huge popularity among modern caravanners and campers alike, and Bluetti continues to improve its products to meet this increasingly varied demand. Today, we have Bluetti’ s newly released Elite 100 V2 and trust me, this may be the one that convinces you to leave your petrol generator in the shed on your next adventure and grab one of these instead.

SIZE DOES MATTER
On first impressions, the Elite 100 V2 looks like almost every other Bluetti power station, but then something catches your eye. Emblazoned across the front are the specifications showing a 1800W inverter output and a 1024Wh( watt-hour) battery capacity. The physical size of this new unit is only slightly larger than the AC50B, which has less than half the battery capacity and inverter output. The Elite 100 V2 is even smaller than Max’ s AC70.
In terms of weight, the Elite 100 V2 tips the scales at just 11.5kg compared to the AC50B’ s 7kg. It’ s obvious that Bluetti has made significant strides in making its units more portable.
