Bluetti Launches Elite 400 Power Station and B500K Battery
Portable power station manufacturer Bluetti has released two new additions to its Elite series lineup alongside an expansion battery system designed for extended backup capacity. The Elite 400 and Elite 10 power stations target different user segments, while the B500K modular battery offers scalability for existing systems.
The Elite 400 serves as the successor to the Elite 200 V2 model with enhanced specifications across multiple categories. The unit houses a 3840 watt-hour lithium iron phosphate battery delivering 2600 watts of continuous power output with a surge capacity reaching 3900 watts in power lifting mode. The system measures 472 by 286 by 1042 millimeters in its extended configuration and weighs 39 kilograms. Design features include a retractable telescopic handle and rolling wheels for transport mobility.
Charging capabilities combine alternating current and solar inputs to reach 80 percent capacity within 70 minutes at maximum input levels. The power station includes four AC outlets rated at 2600 watts total, two USB-A ports providing 15 watts each, two USB-C ports at 100 watts maximum, and one 12-volt cigarette lighter port rated for 120 watts. Uninterruptible power supply functionality activates within 15 milliseconds during power transitions. Mobile application support enables remote monitoring and scheduled operation controls.
The Elite 10 represents a compact alternative measuring 200 by 146 by 110 millimeters with a weight of 1.8 kilograms. This unit contains a 128 watt-hour battery delivering 200 watts continuous output and 400 watts in boost mode. Features include a three-mode LED lighting system, 10-millisecond UPS switching, and turbo charging support for rapid power restoration.
The B500K expansion battery adds 5120 watt-hours of storage capacity to compatible Bluetti power stations including the AC300, Apex 300, AC500, AC200L, and AC200 Max models. The modular design allows scaling up to 100 kilowatt-hours when combining 18 units with three Apex 300 base stations. The battery pack weighs 45 kilograms and can be wall-mounted or used with an optional wheeled cart for mobile applications.
Pricing starts at 1499 dollars for the Elite 400 during the early access period and 1699 dollars for the B500K expansion battery. An additional 6 percent discount applies with promotional code usage. Both products qualify for the 30 percent federal Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit subject to eligibility requirements. The Elite 10 pricing remains unannounced pending official release details. All units feature lithium iron phosphate battery chemistry rated for over 4000 charge cycles to 80 percent original capacity.
The expansion follows Bluetti’s strategy of building an interconnected ecosystem of power products compatible across multiple generations. The B500K works with previous generation models while supporting future releases through standardized connection protocols. Temperature operating ranges span from negative 20 to positive 40 degrees Celsius for discharge operations with narrower parameters for charging and storage conditions.
