Bluetti showcased two innovative energy storage solutions at a Las Vegas event: the EnergyPro 6K, a fixed battery rivaling the Tesla Powerwall with a capacity of 7.68 kWh, and the Apex 300, a versatile portable battery with up to 58 kWh capacity. The EnergyPro 6K features passive cooling and smart inverter capabilities, while the Apex 300 offers active cooling and flexibility for outdoor use. Additionally, Bluetti introduced the Elite V2 series, enhancing portability and longevity. Pricing will be announced soon.

Bluetti made a significant impact at the Las Vegas event by introducing two innovative products that complement each other perfectly.
Introducing a New Contender Against the Tesla Powerwall
Let’s begin with the standout offering: the EnergyPro 6K. Despite its name sounding like a television, it’s actually a fixed battery designed for stationary energy storage. This powerful unit is positioned as a rival to the Tesla Powerwall.
The primary function of the EnergyPro 6K is to capture and store energy generated by solar panels, boasting an impressive capacity of 7.68 kWh. Users have the option to link multiple batteries together, with the possibility of reaching a total capacity of 38.4 kWh by connecting up to five units. Notably, it utilizes LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells, which are cobalt-free and offer enhanced longevity.
Beyond basic storage capabilities, the EnergyPro 6K can be equipped with a smart inverter. This feature enables seamless power transfer to the battery in the event of an electrical grid failure or allows homeowners to utilize stored energy during nighttime when solar output is not available.
The fixed design of this battery allows for effective passive cooling, eliminating the need for fans and the noise they produce during charging and discharging cycles, a common issue with portable batteries.
In terms of performance, the EnergyPro 6K offers an output of 5.8 kW, and when five units are connected, this increases to a robust 29 kW, more than adequate for typical household needs.
Unveiling a Versatile Portable Storage Battery
Next, let’s explore the portable battery known as the Apex 300. This versatile unit is tailored for both outdoor adventures (such as camping or vacations) and home energy storage.
The specs speak for themselves: it can achieve up to 58 kWh of capacity and deliver 11.52 kW of power, but these figures are contingent upon connecting three inverters and up to 18 batteries! Additionally, it can harness solar panels with a power input of up to 30.7 kW. These are remarkable capabilities for a portable battery.
Unlike previous models, the Apex 300 integrates a storage battery within its inverters, enhancing flexibility and usability for travel. Its main objective mirrors that of the EnergyPro 6K: to store energy harvested from solar panels, with the added benefit of portability. However, it does feature active cooling with fans, unlike the passive cooling system of its stationary counterpart.
Each battery unit has a capacity of 2.7 kWh, complemented by each inverter containing a battery of the same size, allowing for a maximum discharge power of 3.8 kW—sufficient to power an oven for approximately an hour.
Enhancements in the Elite V2 Series for Lightweight Batteries
Finally, Bluetti took the opportunity at CES to present its latest Elite V2 series, set to launch in March. This new series promises an increased capacity of 2 kWh, along with a discharge power of 2.6 kW, while retaining the LFP cells from the previous version.
This series leans towards being a portable storage solution rather than a stationary one, making it easy to transport while also allowing connection to your home during outages or for solar panel charging.
With a five-year guarantee and a lifespan of up to 17 years, this series boasts over 6,000 charge and discharge cycles, thanks to the reliable LFP technology!
Pricing details for these three products will be available soon on Bluetti’s official French website.
