At a Glance
This comparison pairs two Bluetti LFP stations that sit at opposite ends of the capacity spectrum. The EB3A delivers 600W of running power from a 268.8 Wh battery and weighs just 10.1 lbs, making it a grab-and-go option for light loads like phones, laptops, and small fans.
The Elite 200 V2 steps up dramatically with 2,600W of running power, a 2,073 Wh battery, and 1,000W of solar input, covering 43 out of 53 tested devices compared to the EB3A's 21. That wider device coverage and nearly eight times the stored energy make the Elite 200 V2 far more capable for home backup and extended off-grid use.
The tradeoff is weight: at 53.4 lbs, the Elite 200 V2 is more than five times heavier, and its 7.4-hour solar charge time demands a larger panel array to keep pace.
