POWER TEST
Using the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 is just as easy as any other, thanks to the simple three control buttons on the front. The display is clear and gives you all the information you need.
After completing my usual capacity tests, I found nothing to suggest that the 1024Wh battery wasn’ t up to the task. It’ s possible to squeeze a little more out of it depending on the type of load you’ re running.
That said, a power station of this size and output capacity is designed to run high-power appliances, and with an 1800W inverter, it opens up some incredible possibilities.
You can now adjust the AC charge rate in 1A increments.
The display is big, bright and clear.
First, I connected up our 1400W microwave, and it worked as you would expect. The next test was a little more serious. An 1800W airfryer. A load of this size would push a 2kVA petrol generator to its limit and possibly beyond, so I was very keen to see how the Elite 100 V2 would handle it. So I connected it up, put a frozen pie and some potato gems in the tray and set it to 180 degrees for 20 minutes and pressed the go button.
The air-fryer sprang to life, with 1740W being pulled from the Bluetti. Twenty minutes later, my pie was ready with approximately 50 per cent of the battery’ s capacity remaining. It was an impressive demonstration of the Bluetti’ s abilities, especially since the internal cooling fans were virtually inaudible, with just a slight lukewarm waft of air coming through the vents, indicating the Bluetti’ s internal components were not stressed at all.
