Bluetti Apex 200: 2.56 kWh Portable Power Station
Bluetti is preparing to launch the Apex 200, a portable power station that follows the earlier Apex 300 but with a smaller and lighter design. The company has opened early-access registration through November 4, ahead of an official US launch on November 5. The Apex 200 is aimed at home emergency backup, RV travel, and off-grid use.
Capacity and power
The Apex 200 carries a 2.56 kWh battery, roughly 200 Wh less than the Apex 300. Continuous AC output is 3,200 W when used standalone, and up to 3,600 W when paired with an expansion battery or active AC/solar input. For comparison, the Apex 300 delivered 3,840 W continuous. Bluetti says fast AC charging can bring the unit to 80% in 46 minutes.
Size, weight, and ports
Weight drops from 38 kg for the Apex 300 to 27 kg for the Apex 200, a reduction of 11 kg or 29%. The new model is also about 34% smaller by volume. Unlike the Apex 300, which required an expansion unit to access DC ports, the Apex 200 includes two USB-C ports rated at 100 W and 140 W, plus two USB-A ports at 15 W each, for a total of 10 output ports. The four AC outlets are independently controlled, so unused outlets can be switched off individually.
Expansion and parallel operation
Bluetti states that compatible expansion batteries can take a single Apex 200 unit up to 33.28 kWh. Three units in parallel can reach up to 6 kW and approximately 100 kWh of total storage.
Pricing and availability
Bluetti has not released official pricing. Sources indicated to ESS News that the unit may fall in the $1,100–$1,150 range during an early-bird offer, but the company says final pricing will be announced at the US launch on November 5. Wider availability is expected in Europe, Australia, and other regions, though no detailed confirmation was provided. Warranty terms, full specifications, and exact pricing remain undisclosed.
