Most people shopping for a big power station want it to do two jobs: keep the fridge and Wi-Fi running when the grid goes down, and power a camper on weekends. Until now, BLUETTI’s answer for both was the Apex 300, a capable unit that weighs almost 84 lb. The BLUETTI Apex 200, announced on October 21, 2026, is the lighter take on that idea.
It packs 2,560Wh of LFP battery and 3,200W of 120V output into a 59.5 lb box, with a TT-30R RV outlet and a 12V/30A Anderson port built in. It takes up to 3,000W of solar and expands to 33.28kWh with add-on batteries. It joins a growing BLUETTI power station lineup that now runs from pocket-size units to modular home systems.
One thing to know up front: the Apex 200 is 120V only. It has no 240V output, so it cannot run a well pump, an electric dryer or central air. That single spec decides most Apex 200 vs Apex 300 choices, and we cover it in detail below.
A note on method: the Apex 200 is not on sale yet and BLUETTI has not announced a price. This is a spec-based analysis. Every figure comes from BLUETTI’s launch page and press release, attributed as such, or from our own math, which we show. We have no owner data yet.

Apex 200 vs Apex 300: What Changed
The Apex 200 is not a cut-down Apex 300 across the board. BLUETTI kept the same fast charging and the same expansion batteries, then traded the 240V output for a lighter body, more solar input and built-in RV ports. BLUETTI’s own FAQ sums it up: the Apex 200 is the more movable 120V system, the Apex 300 is for a more advanced home backup setup with 120V/240V. Here is how the specs line up, with Apex 300 figures from our BLUETTI Apex 300 review.
| Spec | Apex 200 | Apex 300 |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 2,560Wh LFP | 2,764.8Wh LFP |

Weight (lb)
BLUETTI Apex 200: 59.5
BLUETTI Apex 300: 83.78
Lighter and smaller
By our math, the Apex 200 is 29% lighter than the Apex 300 (59.5 lb against 83.78 lb) and takes up about 33% less space (36.5 liters against roughly 55). Two of the three dimensions are almost identical. The saving comes from the third: 8.3 in on the Apex 200, against 12.6 in on the Apex 300. BLUETTI still describes it as a two-hand carry, not a one-hand station.
More solar, at higher voltage
The Apex 200 accepts 3,000W of solar, 25% more than the Apex 300. It splits that across two inputs: 2,000W through a high-voltage MC4 input (60-280V) and 1,000W through a low-voltage XT60 input. The high-voltage input lets you wire panels in longer series strings, which means thinner cables and less loss over distance.
Ports you don’t have to buy separately
On the Apex 300, the USB, 12V and Anderson outputs live on the Hub D1, a $299 accessory on BLUETTI’s site (October 22, 2026). The Apex 200 has them built in: two USB-A at 15W, a 100W and a 140W USB-C, a 12V/10A car outlet and a 12V/30A Anderson port. For an RV, that Anderson port matters, and it is one less box to carry.
What you give up: 240V and 640W
The Apex 300 delivers 3,840W at 120V and 240V, with a NEMA 14-50R outlet. The Apex 200 tops out at 3,200W on its own, or 3,600W once an expansion battery is connected, and stays at 120V. If you need 240V today or might later, the Apex 300 is the one to buy, and it is on sale now.

What Stands Out
RV-ready out of the box
The TT-30R outlet takes a standard 30A RV plug, so the Apex 200 can feed a travel trailer’s whole electrical panel. The 12V/30A Anderson port powers 12V gear directly. A 30A RV service is rated for 3,600W, while the Apex 200 delivers 3,200W on its own, so avoid running the air conditioner and the microwave at the same time. Our guide to 30A vs 50A RV power systems explains how to size the load.
3,000W of dual solar input
Few stations of this size take this much solar. With both inputs filled, BLUETTI says the Apex 200 reaches 80% in about 50 minutes. That makes a meaningful difference off-grid, where a short sunny window has to refill the battery.
Expandable to 33.28kWh, or about 100kWh with three units
One Apex 200 accepts up to six B300K or B500K expansion batteries. With three units linked through BLUETTI’s Hub A1, the system reaches 6,000W and 99.84kWh, according to BLUETTI. You can start with a single unit and grow when your needs change.
Smart outlets, TOU mode and weather alerts
BLUETTI’s app controls four AC outlets individually: on and off remotely, on a schedule, or cut automatically when the battery falls to a level you choose. That last feature keeps the fridge running longer by dropping less important loads first. The app also offers a time-of-use mode to charge during cheaper hours, and severe weather alerts that ask before charging the battery ahead of a storm. BLUETTI lists Google Home and Amazon Alexa support on its launch page.
What Could Be Better
It’s 120V only
No 240V means no well pump, electric dryer, electric range or central air, even with three units linked. If your outage plan includes any of those, look at the Apex 300 or at our guide to whole-home backup battery systems.
The cycle rating stops at 70%
BLUETTI rates the Apex 200 for 6,000+ cycles to 70% capacity. The Apex 300 gets the same 6,000 cycles, but to 80%. Both are excellent in practice: one full cycle a day would take more than 16 years. The Apex 200’s rating is simply the more conservative of the two.
Several specs are still missing
BLUETTI hasn’t published the warranty, the UPS transfer time, the noise level, the operating temperatures or the AC input power in watts. We expect them at launch and will add them here.
UPS is off by default
The Apex 200 can switch connected devices to battery when the grid fails, but UPS mode is disabled out of the box and has to be turned on in the app. It only covers devices plugged into supported AC outlets. Without a published transfer time, check with BLUETTI before relying on it for a desktop computer or medical equipment.
59.5 lb is a two-hand carry
BLUETTI says plainly that the Apex 200 is “not positioned as a one-hand-carry power station.” It has no wheels. Moving it from the house to the RV is a job for two hands, or two people.
Home Backup: What 2,560Wh Covers
For a typical outage, the Apex 200 is an essentials station. About 2,176Wh of usable energy keeps a refrigerator, the internet, lights and phones going through a night and most of the next day. Its 3,200W of output also starts the kitchen appliances smaller stations struggle with, like a microwave, a coffee maker or a toaster.
BLUETTI does not mention a transfer switch or panel kit for the Apex 200, so plan on plugging appliances in directly with extension cords. To feed selected circuits through a 120V transfer switch, have an electrician check the setup first.
When an outage drags on, expansion batteries extend the runtime. According to BLUETTI, each B300K adds about 3 days of refrigerator runtime and each B500K about 5 days. Those figures assume an efficient fridge, so treat them as best-case numbers.
RV and Off-Grid Use
Running a 30A RV from the TT-30R
Plug the RV’s 30A cord into the Apex 200 and the whole coach runs on battery: lights, outlets, the water pump and the 120V side of the fridge. The limit is power, not plugs. A 13,500 BTU rooftop air conditioner draws roughly 1,400W while running and much more at start-up. BLUETTI hasn’t published a surge rating for the Apex 200, so a soft starter on the AC is a sensible precaution.
Charging while you drive
Paired with BLUETTI’s Charger 2, which charges from the vehicle’s alternator, the Apex 200 refills to 100% in about 3 hours of driving, according to BLUETTI. The older Charger 1 takes about 5 hours.
Campground and generator charging
At a campground, BLUETTI sells cables from a TT-30P or NEMA 14-50P plug to the Apex 200’s charging port. BLUETTI says either one refills the battery to 100% in about 1.6 hours. A compatible generator works too. For the wider picture, see our RV electrical system basics.
Solar Charging: How Fast Can It Refill?
These are calculated estimates for an empty battery, using a 0.7 factor for real-world panel output.
BLUETTI’s own examples line up with that math: about 2.2 hours to 100% with up to four 500W panels, 2.1 hours with up to six 350W panels, and 1.9 hours with up to twelve 200W panels.
One caution for long series strings: a panel’s open-circuit voltage rises in cold weather. Keep a safety margin under the 280V limit of the high-voltage input, especially on a frosty morning. BLUETTI also notes that a rooftop array must stay within the input’s voltage, current and power limits, and may need extra equipment and professional installation.
Runtime Estimates: What 2,560Wh Actually Powers
These are calculated estimates for one Apex 200 without expansion, with a 0.85 factor for conversion losses.

That last line matters for RV owners. A rooftop air conditioner drains a single Apex 200 in about an hour and a half of compressor time. With one B500K, that stretches to about 4.7 hours. Appliances cycle on and off, so real runtimes are usually longer than these figures. To run your own list, use our power station runtime calculator.
Expansion: B300K, B500K and Hub A1
BLUETTI gives the Apex 200 three ways to grow:
- B300K (2,764.8Wh): the smaller add-on battery. The B300K sold for the Apex 300 currently lists at $1,079. Six of them take one Apex 200 to about 19.1kWh, by our math.
- B500K (5,120Wh): the larger one. One B500K brings the system to 7.68kWh, six bring it to 33.28kWh. Our BLUETTI B500K expansion battery review covers it in detail.
- Hub A1: links two or three Apex 200 units. Three units with eighteen B500K batteries reach 6,000W and 99.84kWh, according to BLUETTI.
Adding a battery also lifts the output from 3,200W to 3,600W. BLUETTI hasn’t said yet which B500K version fits the Apex 200, so confirm the model at checkout. The Hub A1, cables and batteries are sold separately.

Apex 200 vs Anker SOLIX F2600
The Anker SOLIX F2600 holds exactly the same 2,560Wh and also has a TT-30 outlet. On paper, the Apex 200 is ahead on output (3,200W against 2,400W), solar input (3,000W against 1,000W) and weight (59.5 lb against 69.7 lb). The F2600 answers with a published 5-year warranty, but it was listed as sold out on Anker’s store when we checked in October 2026.
Apex 200 vs EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra
The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra offers more capacity (3,072Wh) and more output (3,600W, with an X-Boost mode for loads up to 4,600W). EcoFlow publishes a 10ms auto-switch and up to 5 years of warranty with app registration. It sells for $1,349. The Apex 200’s edge is its built-in RV ports and its expansion path to 33kWh.
Who Should Buy the Apex 200
RV owners with a 30A hookup who also want home backup
The TT-30R, the Anderson port and alternator charging make the Apex 200 one of the most RV-ready stations in its class. The same unit then comes inside when a storm takes the grid down.
Solar-first users who need to move their station
3,000W of solar input on a 59.5 lb unit is rare. If you camp off-grid or keep a station at a cabin, the Apex 200 refills fast from a modest array.
Buyers who want to start small and grow
Start with 2.56kWh, add a B500K when your needs grow, then a second unit if you want more power. Few 2.5kWh stations offer that much headroom.
Who Should Skip It
Homes that need 240V
For a well pump, central air or an electric dryer, look at the Apex 300, or at a 240V system from our best new BLUETTI power stations of 2026.
50A RV owners
A 50A coach runs on two 120V legs. The Apex 200 feeds one, through a 30A plug. It will run the essentials through an adapter, but not the whole rig.
Anyone who needs power right now
The Apex 200 goes on sale in November 2026. If you need a station this week, the alternatives above are in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the BLUETTI Apex 200 go on sale?
BLUETTI’s launch page says the Apex 200 is planned to go on sale on November 4, 2026. Its press release says final pricing will be announced at the US launch on November 5. Early-access sign-ups are open until November 4.
How much will the Apex 200 cost?
BLUETTI hasn’t announced pricing yet. Early-access subscribers get the early-bird price before launch, and the final price is expected in early November 2026.
Does the Apex 200 support 240V?
No. The Apex 200 is 120V only, with three NEMA 5-20R outlets and one TT-30R. For 240V appliances, BLUETTI points buyers to the Apex 300, which has a NEMA 14-50R outlet.
Can the Apex 200 power a 30A RV?
Yes. Its TT-30R outlet takes a standard 30A RV plug. It delivers 3,200W on its own, or 3,600W with an expansion battery connected, so avoid running several large appliances at once.
How far can the Apex 200 expand?
One Apex 200 accepts up to six B300K or B500K batteries, for up to 33.28kWh with B500K units. Three Apex 200 units linked through the Hub A1 reach 6,000W and 99.84kWh, according to BLUETTI.
How much does the Apex 200 weigh?
The Apex 200 weighs 59.5 lb (27 kg) and measures 20.9 × 12.8 × 8.3 in. BLUETTI describes it as a two-hand carry, and it has no wheels.
Final Verdict
The BLUETTI Apex 200 takes what works on the Apex 300, fast charging and serious expansion, and reshapes it for people who move their power around. It is 29% lighter, takes 25% more solar and has the RV ports built in. The trade-off is clear: no 240V and a little less output.
For RV owners who also want solid outage backup at home, it looks like one of the most interesting BLUETTI launches of 2026. Our rating: 8.0/10, based on BLUETTI’s published specifications. We will revisit it once the price, warranty and remaining specs are public in November.
