One was built for the rain. The other is built to last.
BLUETTI US no longer sells the AC240P: its US page now redirects to the home page, and BLUETTI Canada still lists it. It stores 1,843Wh behind an IP65 case, delivers 2,400W from two 20A outlets and a TT-30, takes four B210P batteries for 10,443Wh and weighs 72 lb. The BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 stores 2,074Wh, delivers 2,600W from four 20A outlets, is rated for 6,000+ cycles instead of 3,500+ and weighs 53.4 lb, but has no water rating, no TT-30 and no expansion port. Buying new in the US, the Elite 200 V2 or the AC200L.
Below: every difference with numbers, a 20-second calculator for your own gear, seven modeled situations, the AC200L as the current BLUETTI pick with a TT-30 and a battery port, and what published tests found.
If you’re buying today in the US, the Elite 200 V2 or the AC200L: BLUETTI US no longer sells the AC240P. Against it, the Elite 200 V2 adds 231Wh, 200W, two more outlets and almost twice the rated cycles, 18.6 lb lighter, with the same 15ms UPS. It gives up the IP65 case, the TT-30 and the battery port.
- it works in rain, dust or salt air
- it feeds an RV through its TT-30
- you’ll add B210P batteries
- you cycle it daily: 6,000+
- you need four outlets and 2,600W
- you’ll carry it: 53.4 lb
The five differences that decide it
Both are BLUETTI LFP units of about 2kWh with 20A household outlets, a 12V car socket, two 100W USB-C ports, a 15ms UPS, Power Lifting for heaters and the BLUETTI app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. These five gaps decide it.
Will it run your setup? Check in 20 seconds
Estimates use 85% usable capacity and 70% of rated solar output. Real results vary with temperature, inverter load, shade and appliance cycling. Fridge and freezer watts are daily averages and do not include compressor startup surges.
Runtime by appliance, one at a time
Simple energy estimates, not measured runtimes. About 1,567Wh usable on the AC240P and 1,763Wh on the Elite 200 V2; StorageReview measured 1.91kWh out of the Elite 200 V2.
Appliance for appliance, the Elite 200 V2 lasts 13% longer than the AC240P.

What the current options cost today
BLUETTI rates the Elite 200 V2 at 6,000+ cycles and the AC200L at 3,000+, both to 80%; the cycle rows divide today’s price by cycles × capacity, a ranking rather than a bill. The AC200L is the closest current BLUETTI US unit to the AC240P: the same 2,400W and 3,600W Power Lifting, 20A outlets plus a TT-30, 1,200W of solar and a battery port for up to 8,192Wh, at 62.4 lb. It has no water rating.
The third option: the BLUETTI AC200L at $899
BLUETTI AC200L: $899 today
The closest current BLUETTI US unit to the AC240P: 2,048Wh and 2,400W from four 20A outlets and a TT-30, 3,600W Power Lifting, 1,200W of solar at up to 145V and room for 8,192Wh with extra batteries, at 62.4 lb. It has no water rating and switches in 20ms. Pick it over the Elite 200 V2 if you need the TT-30 or extra capacity later. Our AC200L review and AC200L vs Elite 200 V2 comparison go deeper. See the AC200L at BLUETTI.
Seven modeled situations, worked out
Same formula as the calculator above, with no extra battery unless stated. The fridge averages 60W, about 525kWh a year, in the range printed on typical EnergyGuide labels; that average does not include compressor startup surges.
24-hour outage, essentials only
Neither quite covers a full day; the Elite 200 V2 lasts about two hours longer. Only the AC240P can add batteries: one B210P carries it past a day and a half.
Microwave and coffee maker together
Both run it. The Elite 200 V2 keeps 500W of headroom for a fridge on top, and has four outlets to plug it all into; the AC240P has two plus the TT-30.
RV with a 30A shore inlet
The AC240P’s TT-30 takes the RV cord directly, and its 12V/30A RV port feeds a 12V system. The Elite 200 V2 needs an adapter from one of its 20A outlets.
Rain, dust or a boat deck
Only the AC240P is built for it: IP65 means dust-tight and protected from low-pressure water jets, with sealed port covers. BLUETTI still says it is not waterproof; TechRadar moved it to a garage rather than leave it outside year-round.
Refill from solar, each at its maximum
The AC240P refills sooner: a smaller battery and 200W more solar input. Fstoppers reached 55% from one 350W panel on a partly cloudy September day.
Home office through an outage
About a workday on either; the Elite 200 V2 lasts a little longer. Both switch in 15ms, just inside the roughly 16ms that ATX desktop power supplies ride through.
Moving it
Neither has wheels. The Elite 200 V2 is a heavy two-hand carry; at 72 lb the AC240P is a lift you’ll want to place once.
Nine more differences, the spec sheet and the box
Smaller gaps that rarely decide the purchase, then the full specifications and what ships in the box.
AC240P and Elite 200 V2 weight, dimensions and full specifications
Weight: 72 lb (33 kg) for the AC240P and 53.4 lb for the Elite 200 V2. Dimensions: 16.5 × 11.6 × 16.1 in and 13.78 × 9.84 × 12.74 in. AC240P figures come from BLUETTI Canada’s product page (120V, the same outlets as the US model), because BLUETTI US no longer lists it.

AC240P
Elite 200 V2
Practical consequence: the Elite 200 V2 has four 20A outlets on the front, the AC240P two plus a TT-30 for an RV cord and a 12V/30A RV port, all behind sealed covers. Only the AC240P has a battery port and a parallel port.
09 · NoiseNoise and heat: AC240P vs Elite 200 V2
The BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 is the quieter one on paper: BLUETTI rates it at 16dB under small loads and 50dB at most. The BLUETTI AC240P mostly runs fanless, then cools in short bursts under 53dB (Fstoppers).
The AC240P figure is a reviewer’s; the Elite 200 V2 figures are BLUETTI’s.Every figure we found, with its source
What reviewers heard: Fans kicked in only every two to three hours at room temperature, then ran in harsh short bursts (Fstoppers); no loud fans indoors (TechRadar, US unit).
What reviewers heard: Fans stayed very quiet through most of an hour at 2.6kW, with fairly warm exhaust air (Trusted Reviews, UK unit); case reached 116.2°F outdoors yet stayed very quiet (CleanTechnica).
Measured by a tester Brand figure
- Charge in Silent mode overnight: 800W on either, and no more than 45dB on the AC240P.
Cold, heat and storage: AC240P vs Elite 200 V2
The BLUETTI AC240P and the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 both charge from 32°F to 104°F and run from −4°F to 104°F. Only the AC240P carries a water and dust rating, IP65.
Figures from BLUETTI Canada’s AC240P page and the BLUETTI US Elite 200 V2 page.- Charge either one above freezing.
- In storage, recharge the AC240P to 80% every 3 to 6 months; keep the Elite 200 V2 at 14°F to 95°F and 40 to 60% beyond a month.
App, UPS and smart features
The BLUETTI AC240P grows, to 10,443Wh, and pairs with a second unit for 4,800W. The BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 answers with more output from four outlets.
Same BLUETTI app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, same 15ms switchover.Green zone: a switch under about 16ms, which most desktop PCs ride through without restarting.
Can you add a battery later? Four B210P take the BLUETTI AC240P to 10,443Wh, though BLUETTI US doesn’t sell the B210P; the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 takes no extra battery.
Can two units work together? Two BLUETTI AC240P units deliver up to 4,800W at 120V through BLUETTI’s P480A; the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 has no parallel option.
Does it work as a UPS? Both switch in 15ms, just inside the roughly 16ms ATX desktop power supplies ride through. Neither offers a USB link for automatic PC shutdown.
Can it run a heater above its rating? Both run heating loads past their rating at reduced power: up to 3,600W on the BLUETTI AC240P, 3,900W on the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2. Not for air conditioners or motors.
Can you check it away from home? Both the BLUETTI AC240P and the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 connect to the BLUETTI app over Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth.

- For a used AC240P, ask for the original receipt: BLUETTI’s warranty follows proof of purchase.
What reviewers report
We have not lab-tested these two units. Here is what 8 published reviews found, with the source, author and date for each point. Reviews of UK and EU units are flagged: those models charge from 230V outlets and have different sockets, so their charge times and outlet findings don’t carry over to US units.

Related comparisons and reviews
How we compared and sources
Research-based comparison. We have not physically tested these two units. BLUETTI US no longer sells the AC240P, so its specs come from BLUETTI Canada’s product page (120V, North American outlets) and its user manual; the Elite 200 V2’s from BLUETTI US. Usage observations are attributed to named reviewers. Checked on October 31, 2026.
- Specs: BLUETTI Canada, AC240P with its user manual (US EN-FR-ES edition), and BLUETTI US, Elite 200 V2, read on October 31, 2026. The AC240P’s solar voltage range is not on the Canadian page and is left out.
- Reviewer reports on the AC240P: Fstoppers, Michael Breitung, October 2024, TechRadar, Collin Probst, June 2025; on the Elite 200 V2: StorageReview, Dylan Dougherty, April 2025, Trusted Reviews, Simon Handby, March 2025, UK unit, CleanTechnica, Z. S., July 2025, Fstoppers, Alex Coleman, December 2024, The Gadgeteer, Greg Cleveland, January 2025, CGMagazine, Ridge Harripersad, June 2025.
- Runtime = capacity × 0.85 ÷ watts. Solar harvest = min(panel watts, max input) × sun hours × 0.70. Cost per lifetime kWh = price ÷ (cycles × capacity in kWh).
About 2kWh each. The AC240P, no longer sold by BLUETTI US, is IP65 with a TT-30 and a battery port; the Elite 200 V2 has 2,600W, four outlets and 6,000+ cycles.
