At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers choosing between a midsize portable station and a high-capacity home backup unit. The Elite 200 V2 from Bluetti delivers 2600W of running power and 2073 Wh of capacity, nearly doubling the C1000's 1056 Wh reserve.
It also powered 43 of 53 tested devices compared to 38 for the Anker unit, giving it a clear edge in device coverage. Battery longevity favors the Elite 200 V2 as well, with 6000 rated cycles versus 3000 for the C1000.
That durability gap matters for anyone planning daily cycling over several years. The tradeoff is weight and flexibility: the C1000 weighs just 28.4 lbs, roughly half the Elite's 53.4 lbs, and supports battery expansion plus a 20 ms UPS switchover that the Bluetti lacks.
