At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers shopping for a 2,000 Wh-class LFP portable power station for home backup, off-grid use, or heavy-load appliances. The DELTA 2 Max edges ahead on device compatibility, powering 45 of 53 tested devices versus 43 for the Elite 200 V2. It also delivers a higher 4,800W surge rating, giving it more headroom for motor-driven appliances like compressors and power tools.
Expandable battery support adds flexibility the Elite 200 V2 lacks entirely. On the other side, Bluetti's unit offers double the cycle life at 6,000 cycles compared to 3,000, a meaningful advantage for buyers who plan to charge and discharge daily over many years. Both units share 1,000W max solar input, similar charge times around 7 hours, and compatibility with 19 solar panels.
The tradeoff comes down to longevity versus expandability and surge capacity.
