BLUETTI Apex 200 + B300K vs BLUETTI Apex 300 + B300K
Both stacks sit on the same B300K battery, so the only question is whether the Apex 300's 240 V outlet is worth a heavier base and a bigger bill, given that the Apex 200's base brings USB-C, 12 V ports and a high-voltage solar input of its own.

Whole-Home Backup Tester
The battery under these two stacks is the same B300K, and that settles more than it looks like it should. Stored energy lands 205Wh apart, both packs are rated for 6,000 cycles, and both systems arrive as boxes you stack in a garage or a utility room. Everything worth arguing about lives in the base unit sitting on top.
The Apex 200's base is the one I'd carry down basement stairs. It weighs 59.5 lb against the Apex 300's 83.78 lbA8A21, and it keeps the small ports on board: USB-C at 140W and 100W, two USB-A, a 12 V car socket and a 12 V/30 A Anderson portA4. The Apex 300 has none of those without BLUETTI's Hub D1, sold separatelyB15.
The Apex 300 answers with one thing the Apex 200 cannot do. Its NEMA 14-50R outlet delivers 120/240 V, the two-leg supply a US house panel runs onB15. The Apex 200 is 120 V only, and BLUETTI itself sends 240 V buyers to the Apex 300A2. If a well pump or a dryer circuit is why you're shopping, buy the Apex 300. Everyone else gets the Apex 200 stack for $2,199 against $2,599.
What the Numbers Reveal
Each conclusion stated first β the numbers behind it on one line, the full analysis below.
solar input
An array on the shed roof or out past the garden is exactly where a 60 V ceiling hurts. On the Apex 300 you either accept the loss in the cable or buy the $699 Solar X 4KA16. The Apex 200 takes the same panels wired in series straight into the base.
Apex 200 + B300K solar input: 3,000W, of which 2,000W through a high-voltage MC4 input accepting 60 to 280 VA5Apex 300 + B300K solar input: 2,400W, with inputs that top out at 60 VA16BLUETTI's Solar X 4K, the Apex 300's answer to a long cable run, is $699A16
Why it mattersIf your panels will sit more than a short cable run from the battery, count the Apex 200's high-voltage input as money you don't have to spend.
Through a night-long outage the small loads never stop: a router, phones, a laptop, 12 V gear. On the Apex 200 they plug into the base. On the Apex 300 they go through the inverter or through a hub you paid extra for, and reviewers flagged the missing ports more than onceB1B2B6.
Apex 200 base: two USB-C (140W and 100W), two USB-A, a 12 V car outlet and a 12 V/30 A Anderson portA4Apex 300 base: no USB or 12 V ports; they need the Hub D1, sold separatelyB15B1One reviewer puts the Hub D1 at about $300 and calls it steepB2
Why it mattersIf your outage kit is mostly phones, laptops and 12 V gear, the Apex 200 does more out of the box.
continuous output
The gap that matters is the second leg. A 240 V well pump, a dryer or a transfer switch wired for both legs of the panel needs the Apex 300's 14-50R, and BLUETTI sends those buyers to the Apex 300 itselfA2. For a travel trailer on a TT-30 plug, the two are equals.

Why it mattersCheck whether anything you plan to run is 240 V before you compare anything else; that one answer picks the unit.
The specific dimensions that decide these two units β everything else is a tie.
Portability & Form Factor
Selected because: The stacks differ by 24 lb, and all of it sits in the base unit you lift last.
weight
The Apex 200 stack is two lifts: a 59.5 lb base with a handle on each side, and a B300K battery of about 65 lb under itA8A21. The Apex 300 stack puts the same battery under an 83.78 lb baseA21. That base is the heaviest single box on this page, and it's the one that goes on top.
I'd carry the Apex 200 base up a flight of stairs on my own. I'd ask for help with the Apex 300's. Neither stack moves on a whim once it's in place, so this matters on delivery day and the day you move house.
Lifetime Value
Selected because: Same battery, same 6,000-cycle rating, so the cost of ownership follows the sticker.
cost / lifetime kWh
Both packs are rated for 6,000 cycles, so the two systems age at the same pace and the cost of each stored kilowatt-hour follows the price. The Apex 200 stack works out to $0.07 per lifetime kWh against $0.08 for the Apex 300 stack. That's close. If you need 240 V, the difference is a fair thing to spend on it.
Your Life, Your Pick
Selected because: Both clear every home scenario; a full day of van living is the one row they split.
Every home scenario is a draw. Both carry an 8-hour blackout on about a third of their charge, and a CPAP night barely registers. The one split is a full day of van living at 4,685Wh: after the flat 15% conversion allowance, the Apex 300 stack finishes with 15Wh to spare and the Apex 200 stack comes up 159Wh short.
Nobody is putting either of these in a van at well over 100 lb, so I wouldn't let that row decide anything.
What the Specs Don't Tell You
Selected because: The Apex 300 documents a heater-friendly mode, and the Apex 200 has an unpublished warranty term worth checking before checkout.
BLUETTI documents Power Lifting on the Apex 300: it runs a resistive load rated up to 7,680W, a heater or a kettle, by feeding it less than it asks for. The heater still works. It heats more slowly. Useful if that's the load you bought for, and beside the point for a fridge or a pump.
On the Apex 200 side, BLUETTI lists a UPS mode with a switchover of 15 ms or lessA10, but it hasn't published a warranty termA13. That gap says nothing bad about the hardware. It's a reason I'd read the store page's terms before checkout.

CPAP Overnight
Sleep therapy without interruption β the #1 medical use case
Either unit
A CPAP is about 40W for eight hours, so both of these cover the night several times over β capacity isn't the question here. What would separate them is fan noise, but Apex 200 + B300K doesn't publish a figure, so there's nothing to hold it to. Buy on price, weight, and whether you can live with a fan you haven't heard.

Either unit
Both power your workstation all day without strain. The Apex 200 + B300K lists 140W of USB-C for direct laptop charging; the Apex 300 + B300K carries no USB-C at all, so a laptop there goes through the inverter and you are carrying its brick.

Apex 300 + B300K
The Apex 300 + B300K takes this row by a thread. A full van day asks for 4,685Wh, and after the flat 15% conversion allowance the Apex 300 stack finishes with 15Wh left while the Apex 200 stack ends 159Wh short. Drop one small appliance from the day and both make it. Neither weighs what a van battery should.

Conclusion
November 4, 2026
Verdict: the BLUETTI Apex 200 + B300K
Buy the Apex 200 + B300K unless something in your house runs on 240 V. The battery under both is the same B300K, so stored energy lands within 205Wh and both packs are rated for 6,000 cycles. What separates them is the base unit. The Apex 200's is 24 lb lighter, carries the USB-C and 12 V ports the Apex 300 leaves to a separately sold hubB15, and takes 3,000W of solar including a 60 to 280 V high-voltage inputA5. The Apex 300 answers with a 120/240 V outlet and 240W more output. At $400 apart, only the 240 V outlet is worth paying for.

Each unit's star score is a category ranking, not customer reviews β no buyer opinions feed it. We score every station on size-independent quality (value, output, portability, endurance, ports, warranty, and more), then percentile-rank it against the other units in its capacity class, so a class-leading compact unit and a class-leading whole-home unit can both earn 5β . Here, Apex 200 + B300K rates 4.4/5 (62nd percentile of 22 Home Backup-class units), and Apex 300 + B300K rates 4.2/5 (52nd percentile of 22 Home Backup-class units).
How the class ranking is computed βTest Notes & Caveats
Hidden gotchas and advantages we spotted that you won't find on the product page.
Same Battery, Different Top Box
Both systems are a base unit stacked on the same B300K battery. The difference is the base, and the Apex 200's is the lighter one, which makes the Apex 200 stack 24 lb lighter in total. In the Apex 200 stack the heaviest single lift is the battery rather than the base.
Apex 300 + B300K: 45dB Published
45dB is about as loud as a running refrigerator. It is BLUETTI's own rating rather than a reading on a shared bench β makers differ on whether they quote a best case or a figure under load, so treat it as a starting point rather than what you would hear at a bedside. For most people, fan noise around 45dB and up is where sleep starts to suffer.
Apex 300 + B300K: Power Lifting to 7,680W
The Apex 300 + B300K has BLUETTI's Power Lifting mode, which runs a resistive appliance rated up to 7,680W from its 3,840W inverter. It does that by delivering less power than the appliance asks for, not more than the inverter has: the heater still works, it just heats more slowly. Two things follow. BLUETTI scopes the mode to purely resistive loads β a heater, a kettle, an incandescent lamp β so it does nothing for a fridge compressor, a pump or a power tool, and this record publishes no surge figure at all, so read the mode as a resistive-load feature rather than as starting ability. And it is not a reason to size down, because running a load that big from 5,530Wh is a short session either way. Genuinely useful if a heater or a kettle is why you're buying; beside the point otherwise. Our record for the Apex 200 + B300K carries no Power Lifting figure, so check BLUETTI's own spec sheet before reading this as something the Apex 200 + B300K lacks.
UPS Switchover: β€10ms vs β€15ms
Both list a UPS mode, at different rated speeds. The Apex 300 + B300K is rated β€10ms β quick enough on paper that desktop PCs and routers should ride through, treating that as the rating it is. The Apex 200 + B300K is rated β€15ms β fine on paper for routers and most electronics; the fussiest PC power supplies sit right at this line. If a computer with unsaved work is the thing being protected, the stated class is worth the attention; nothing here is a lab result.
Apex 200 + B300K: Noise Level Not Disclosed
The Apex 300 + B300K publishes its noise level (45dB); the Apex 200 + B300K doesn't publish one. That isn't evidence the Apex 200 + B300K is louder β it means there's no figure to hold it to, and no way to compare the two on this without hearing them. If you're buying for a bedroom, a CPAP, or an apartment, treat the Apex 300 + B300K's 45dB as the only published number on the table β a spec-sheet figure, not a measurement β and look for hands-on reports of the Apex 200 + B300K before deciding.

Both units have similar long-term ownership costs ($0.07/kWh vs $0.08/kWh). The price difference is what you see on the sticker β neither is a hidden bargain or rip-off. One thing to know reading the table: both carry the same 6,000-cycle rating, so the lifetime rows are sticker price and capacity in disguise β the wear horizon is identical and decides nothing here.

Reviewers who ran the Apex 300 liked it as a generator stand-in. One ran a washing machine for about an hour on 35% of the chargeB9; another called it one of the few systems that could genuinely replace a generatorB4. A third had it recharged in under an hourB12.
The complaints repeat too. The base has no USB or 12 V ports without the separately sold Hub D1, which one reviewer called steep at about $300B1B2B6, and the stack is near 150 lb, a trolley job rather than a carryB5B14. The record is reviewer-heavy and short on long-term ownersB0.

βThe Apex 300's solar inputs top out at 60 V, so an array a long cable run from the house either loses power in the cable or needs BLUETTI's $699 Solar X 4K. The Apex 200's 60β280 V high-voltage input takes the same panels wired for more volts and less current, in the base unit.β

Who Should Buy Which
Buy the Apex 200 + B300K if youβ¦
- βYou're keeping a fridge, a freezer and the router alive on 120 V, and you'd rather carry the lighter base down the basement stairs.
- βYour panels sit a long cable run from the house and you want to wire them for high voltage straight into the base, with no separate controller to buy.
- βYou tow a travel trailer on a TT-30 plug and want phones, laptops and 12 V gear charging off the same box without a hub.
Buy the Apex 300 + B300K if youβ¦
- βSomething in your house runs on 240 V, a well pump, a dryer or a two-leg transfer switch, and the 14-50R outlet is the only way either of these stacks feeds it.
- βA space heater or a kettle is the reason you're buying, and you want BLUETTI's documented Power Lifting mode for it.
If neither fits
If the power has to go camping or to a tailgate, close this tab. Both stacks are well over 100 lb in total and stay where you set them down; a single box with a carry handle is the class you want.
The Bottom Line
I'd buy the Apex 200 + B300K. It sits on the same battery, keeps the useful small ports on the base, takes more solar through a better input, and its base is the lighter lift by 24 lb. The Apex 300 stack earns its place in one kind of house: the one with a 240 V load. If that's yours, it's the only one of the two that works. If it isn't, take the Apex 200 and keep the difference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers drawn from the spec record and cited owner research.
Do the Apex 200 and Apex 300 use the same expansion battery?
Yes. Both take BLUETTI's B300K and B500K batteries, so a battery bought for one model works with the other. What BLUETTI hasn't documented is cabling an Apex 200 and an Apex 300 together to share batteries.
Can the Apex 200 + B300K power a 240 V appliance?
No. The Apex 200 is 120 V only, and BLUETTI's own FAQ sends 240 V buyers to the Apex 300. The Apex 300 has a 120/240 V NEMA 14-50R outlet for that job.
Which is easier to move, the Apex 200 + B300K or the Apex 300 + B300K?
The Apex 200 stack. Its base weighs 59.5 lb and the B300K about 65 lb, carried as separate boxes. The Apex 300 stack uses the same battery under an 83.78 lb base, so the whole system is 24 lb heavier.
Can I run a travel trailer off the Apex 200 + B300K?
Yes, on a TT-30 plug. The base has a TT-30R outlet, and with a battery attached it delivers 3,600W, which is exactly what a 30 A, 120 V RV outlet passes.
Which has more solar input, the Apex 200 or the Apex 300?
The Apex 200, at 3,000W against 2,400W. 2,000W of it comes through a high-voltage input that accepts 60 to 280 V, which suits panels a long way from the battery. The Apex 300's inputs stop at 60 V.
