Power stations are increasingly popular, but as their capacity grows, so does the price tag. A system capable of handling heavy loads and providing enough battery capacity to power a home during an outage typically costs around $2,000.

However, there are opportunities to find great deals. Bluetti is promoting the new Elite 200 V2 power station significantly. This model boasts an impressive 2073.6Wh power capacity, four AC ports with a 2,600W output (and a 3,900W boost), multiple USB-A and USB-C ports, and other ancillary outputs.

The Bluetti Elite 200 V2 normally retails for $1,699, but you can already save with this early Prime Day offer at Amazon. You can get 47% off, saving a massive $800. This brings the price down to only $899. Other configurations, including those that come with solar panels for recharging, are also on sale. Amazon has this offer marked as a Prime exclusive deal, so you likely won’t be able to shop these savings without a Prime membership.
The capacity of the Elite 200 V2 provides remarkable flexibility. For instance, if you enjoy camping, this unit can run a mini fridge for an entire day while still having enough power to recharge a smartphone several times. For home power backup, it can operate your refrigerator for half a day or keep your home router running for several days.

Despite its substantial power capacity, the unit is compact, measuring only 13.8 x 9.8 x 12.7 inches and weighing just under 55 pounds. Given its capabilities, its design is surprisingly small. The carry handles, styled like those on an ammo crate, are on either side of the power station, making it easy to lift and move as needed.

Inside, the unit houses an array of automotive-grade lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries designed to withstand over 6,000 recharge cycles. This means that if you used the unit daily, fully discharging and recharging it each day, the batteries would last approximately 16.5 years.
Recharging is also efficient. The Elite 200 V2 supports 1,800W charging from an AC port and 1,000W charging from a solar panel. This allows you to fully charge the unit in under 1.5 hours via AC or in as little as 2.5 hours using solar panels.

On the front of the unit, there’s an LCD screen that provides information on battery capacity and operational status, along with three backlit buttons -main on/off, AC on/off, and DC on/off – which are surprisingly straightforward for such a powerful unit. The entire system is encased in a durable polymer shell, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of life in an RV or at a campsite.

How I rated this deal
The Bluetti Elite 200V2 is among the most functional power stations I’ve tested over the past year, so it’s a product I’d typically recommend even without the discount. But now that you can buy it for less than retail — especially at $800 off (47% off), it’s a fantastic deal that earns 5/5 rating by ZDNET’s standards.
While many sales events feature deals for a specific length of time, deals are on a limited-time basis, making them subject to expire anytime. This early Prime Day offer could be here today, gone tomorrow, but it’s likely it will hang around at least until Prime Day kicks off on July 8.
