BLUETTI's model names can look like a code: Premium, Elite, Apex, AC, Pioneer, plus V2 suffixes and numbers that sometimes match capacity and sometimes don't. The names do follow a pattern, though. Once you know it, the choice gets simpler. This guide explains each line, says which models from each line we carry today, and covers what actually separates them for an RV owner.
The lines at a glance
| Line | What it is | What we carry now | Takes expansion batteries? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium | Compact LiFePO4 stations with fast AC charging and app control | Premium 100 V2, Premium 200 V2 | No |
| Elite | BLUETTI's main portable range, from small units up to large wheeled ones | Elite 320 | None named on our listing |
| Apex | The expandable hub: 120V and 240V, stackable batteries, parallel units | Apex 300 | Yes, B300K and B500K |
| AC / Pioneer | BLUETTI's older numbering. Newer models carry Pioneer names | AC200P L, Pioneer Na | AC200P L: BLUETTI's B210P/B230/B300. Pioneer Na: no |
| FridgePower | A slim, dedicated fridge backup with its own battery family | FridgePower | Yes, BlueCell 200 only |
| RV5 (RVSolar) | A fixed 48V RV power system rather than a portable station | RV5 + B4810 | Yes, up to 24 B4810 |
Premium: compact and quick to charge
BLUETTI pitches the Premium models as small and fast to refill. Both run LiFePO4 cells, accept up to 1,000W of solar at 12–60V, and connect to the BLUETTI app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
- Premium 100 V2: 1,024Wh, 1,800W of AC output, 3,600W surge and 2,700W power lifting. It weighs 25.3 lb and BLUETTI says it charges to 80% in 45 minutes.
- Premium 200 V2: 2,073.6Wh, 2,700W AC and 3,900W power lifting, at 53.35 lb.
BLUETTI's own FAQ answers a common question: the Premium 200 V2 has the same 2,073.6Wh as the older Elite 200 V2, but more AC output, 2,700W against 2,600W. It also says the Premium 200 V2 "is not expandable." BLUETTI lists no expansion battery for the Premium 100 V2 either. Buy a Premium for the capacity you need on day one.
Elite: the broad range
Elite runs from tiny units to large ones. We no longer stock the Elite 200 V2, Elite 100 V2, Elite 30 V2 or Elite 10 Mini, or the Elite 300. The Elite we carry on its own is the Elite 320. Our listing gives it 3,200Wh of LiFePO4, 1,800W pure sine AC, 2,700W power lifting, 1,000W solar input, a 10 ms UPS switchover, and wheels with a telescoping handle, at 74.96 lb. For an RV, that is a lot of capacity in one box you can roll. If you read our older Elite 300 vs Apex 300 vs Elite 200 V2 comparison, note that we no longer stock either of its Elite models.
Apex: the one that grows
BLUETTI says the Apex 300 "builds on the AC300/AC500." It is a 2,764.8Wh, 3,840W station that powers 120V and 240V devices at the same time. BLUETTI's spec sheet lists a NEMA TT-30R and a NEMA 14-50R among its AC outlets, so an RV shore cord can plug straight in, limited to the station's 3,840W. It adds capacity in modules: up to six B300K or B500K expansion batteries per unit, and up to three units in parallel through a Hub A1. That is BLUETTI's figure of 11,520W and 58,060.8Wh.
It has two 1,200W solar inputs, and the optional SolarX 4K takes high-voltage panel strings. In an RV, BLUETTI notes that DC output needs the Hub D1. If you expect your power needs to grow, this is the line to buy into. See which expansion battery fits which BLUETTI.
AC and Pioneer: the older names
The AC prefix is BLUETTI's long-running numbering: AC180, AC200P, AC200L, AC300, AC500. BLUETTI's own catalog now titles several of these with Pioneer names, for example "Pioneer 150 (AC240)" and "Pioneer MD (AC180T)." We carry two from this family:
- AC200P L: 2,304Wh and 2,400W. BLUETTI's spec sheet lists a 120V/30A NEMA TT-30 outlet and a 48V/8A RV DC outlet. Its solar input is 1,200W at 12–145V, a wider window than the 60V Premium and Elite inputs. BLUETTI says it expands with B210P, B230 and B300 batteries, none of which we stock.
- Pioneer Na: BLUETTI calls it the first mass-produced sodium-ion portable power station. It is 900Wh and 1,500W. The reason to buy it is cold weather: BLUETTI says it charges at 5°F, discharges at -13°F, and still delivers 80% of its capacity at that low end. It does not take external battery packs.
FridgePower and the RV5: purpose-built
FridgePower is 2,016Wh and 1,800W in a 75 mm slim case, with an under-10 ms UPS. It expands only with the BlueCell 200, up to 8,064Wh. BLUETTI also pairs it with Charger 2 and a DC Hub for RV fridge backup.
The RV5 is not a portable station. It is a 48V hub that replaces the converter, inverter, transfer switch, solar controller and DC-DC charger. BLUETTI rates it at 5,000W continuous and 10,000W surge, with a 12V or 24V DC output for the coach's existing circuits. See RV5 vs a Victron build.
What actually differs, for an RV
- Can it grow? Only the Apex 300, FridgePower and RV5 take add-on batteries from us.
- Solar window. Most models take 12–60V. The AC200P L takes up to 145V, so it accepts longer series strings. The Apex 300 takes 150–500V through the SolarX 4K. See solar input limits by model.
- Output. Across the stations above, from 1,500W on the Pioneer Na to 3,840W on the Apex 300.
- Cold. The Pioneer Na's sodium-ion cells charge colder than the LiFePO4 models. BLUETTI gives a charging floor of 32°F for the Premium 200 V2.
- Weight. From 25.3 lb (Premium 100 V2) to 83.78 lb (Apex 300). The 74.96 lb Elite 320 rolls on wheels.

FAQ
What does "V2" mean?
It is the second generation of that model. The Premium 200 V2 and the Elite 200 V2 share a capacity but differ in output, so compare spec sheets rather than names.
Is Premium better than Elite?
Neither is better as a line. Compare the actual models. Today, the choice between our Premium 200 V2 and our Elite 320 comes down to output (2,700W vs 1,800W) against capacity (2,073.6Wh vs 3,200Wh).
Which BLUETTI line is best for a travel trailer?
For plug-in use, a Premium or the Elite 320. If you want to grow, the Apex 300. For a permanent install, the RV5.
Do you sell the AC180 or Elite 200 V2?
Not any more. The Premium 100 V2 (1,024Wh) and Premium 200 V2 (2,073.6Wh) cover similar sizes. Found it cheaper? We'll beat it.
