At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers choosing between a midsize portable unit and a high-capacity home backup station. The AC200L delivers 2,400W of running power and 2,048 Wh of capacity, roughly triple the C800 Plus on both counts.
That gap shows up in real-world device coverage: the AC200L powered 43 out of 53 tested devices, while the C800 Plus handled 24. Bluetti's station also accepts up to 1,200W of solar input and supports expansion batteries, making it far more versatile for extended outages or off-grid setups.
The tradeoff is weight. At 62.4 lbs, the AC200L is nearly three times heavier than the 24 lb C800 Plus, which matters if you need a grab-and-go unit for car camping, tailgating, or day trips where portability is the priority.
