At a Glance

This comparison targets buyers weighing a compact, lighter portable power station against a high-capacity unit built for heavier loads. The SOLIX C800 Plus delivers 1200W of running power from a 768 Wh LFP battery and weighs just 24 lbs, making it easy to move between campsites or small home tasks.

The Elite 200 V2 more than doubles the capacity at 2073 Wh, pushes 2600W continuous with a 3600W surge rating, and supports up to 1000W of solar input versus 300W on the Anker. In device compatibility testing across 53 products, the Bluetti powered 43 while the C800 Plus handled 24.

That performance gap is reflected in overall scores of 83.5 versus 48.5. The tradeoff is weight: the Elite 200 V2 tips the scale at 53.4 lbs, more than twice the Anker's 24 lbs, so true grab-and-go portability favors the smaller unit.
