  • BLUETTI

    Elite 200 mini

    Announced

    BLUETTI’s press release says 1,600 W. Its hardware says otherwise: the unit photographed at IFA carries a moulded badge reading 1500W | 2009.6Wh, and the legend above its two Schuko sockets reads AC OUTPUT 230V/1500W — with the stand placard and the family slide agreeing at 1,500 W. Four places against one, so plan around 1,500 W. A regional-variant explanation does not hold: BLUETTI lists the same AC output for the Elite 200 V2, 100 V2 and 30 V2 on its European store as those models carry in the US, so it does not rate this line differently by region. Nor has BLUETTI published 1,600 W anywhere it controls — the figure appears only in the press release it sent out, not on its own newsroom and not in any of its three IFA releases on the wire, one of which describes the Elite mini series without a single number. The placard adds 3,000 W of “Power Lifting”, 2,009.6 Wh, 18.8 kg, 6,000+ cycles and a ≤10 ms switchover. Timing: BLUETTI has said only “Available in Q4”; the January 2027 date in circulation is Notebookcheck’s expectation, not BLUETTI’s. Price not announced.

    Elite 30 mini

    Announced

    The smallest Elite mini: 288 Wh and 300 W, printed on the front of the unit itself. The same panel marks two USB-C ports “IN/OUT 140W”, so the pack charges and discharges over either, a DC/PV input at 12–28 V / 8 A / 100 W, and a 12/24 V DC output. BLUETTI’s only stated timing is “Available in Q4” on its stand slide; the January 2027 date in circulation is Notebookcheck’s expectation, not BLUETTI’s. Price not announced.

  • BLUETTI · Europe

    Balco 500

    Announced

    The new half of BLUETTI’s balcony-solar system, shown paired with the already-shipping Balco 260. Its stand placard reads 5,024 Wh, 2,600 W, up to 4,600 W of PV input, under-10 ms switchover, IP65 and a ten-year warranty; BLUETTI’s release adds a 70–470 V PV range and says availability follows the show. Shown in two modes — balcony solar, and an “ESS mode” running house loads and an EV charger. Built for European plug-in solar rules; not a US product.

  • BLUETTI · Europe

    EnergyFlex (Transfer Hub)

    Announced

    The announcement most likely to matter outside Europe: a wall-mounted Transfer Hub that lets an ordinary portable power station feed household circuits, which BLUETTI’s stand slide calls a “Portable-to-Grid Energy System”. Shown as Transfer Hub plus a standard BLUETTI portable unit, so it turns hardware people already own into partial home backup. No US version, price or date announced.

How this page works

Every spec says who published it

Pre-release coverage is where specifications go wrong: a show-floor placard becomes a “confirmed spec”, a European price becomes a US one, a peak figure becomes a runtime. We cover launches the way we cover the bench — a spec is maker-published, published by Power Station Arena because we saw it ourselves, or rumored until it is confirmed; arithmetic from those figures is marked Power Station Arena analysis, and the unknowns stay visible rather than filled in. When a tracked unit ships, it enters the catalogue and our test bench takes over.

Maker-published
The maker put it in writing — press release, stand materials, manual or store page.
Published by Power Station Arena
Power Station Arena established it — read from the unit, the stand material or documents obtained and checked, and published here first. Each line shows the evidence.
Rumored
Reported elsewhere, not published by the maker and not confirmed by Power Station Arena. Unconfirmed until one of them confirms it.
Power Station Arena analysis
Power Station Arena’s arithmetic from the published figures, shown as such.
Not yet published
Nobody has published it yet. The blank stays blank rather than a guess, and is filled when it lands.
