Detailed overview: Bluetti Apex 300 - photo 2
The Bluetti Apex 300 is not just another portable station: it is the core of a home battery backup system that grows with your needs. The base unit packs a 2764.8 Wh LiFePO4 battery (51.2 V, 54 Ah), rated for more than 6,000 cycles before dropping to 80% of its capacity, and a pure sine wave inverter. The US model is dual-voltage (120 V and 240 V) and delivers 3840 W through four NEMA 5-20R outlets, plus a TT-30R (RV) outlet and a 14-50R outlet. Power Lifting mode, off by default, allows up to 7680 W for purely resistive loads such as a kettle.
Expandability is its real selling point. One unit accepts up to six B300K batteries (2764.8 Wh each), which makes 19.4 kWh, or 5120 Wh B500K modules. With the Hub A1 parallel box, two or three Apex 300 units combine for 7680 W or 11,520 W and up to 58 kWh with B300K batteries, and Bluetti quotes up to 100 kWh with B500K modules. You buy the base, then add modules as the budget allows.
Recharging is fast for this capacity. In Turbo mode, AC input accepts up to 3840 W (80% in about 45 minutes according to Bluetti, via the P050A port and an optional NEMA TT-30P or L14-50P cable); the standard 15 A cable is limited to 1,800 W. The solar input offers two XT60 connectors of 1200 W each (12-60 V, 20 A), or 2400 W with no extra accessory. A car 12 V socket (96 W) or the optional Charger 1 complete the picture.
During an outage, the switchover to battery takes 20 ms on the outlets designed for UPS mode, enough to protect a router, a modem or a NAS. Bluetti is clear, however, that it is no substitute for a high-performance UPS for servers or critical workstations. The app (Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) manages backup, time-of-use and solar self-consumption modes; idle draw is around 20 W.
A few limits are worth knowing. The unit has no USB, no 12 V and no Anderson outputs: these come from the Hub D1, sold separately. It weighs 84 lb (38 kg) without wheels, and its IP20 rating limits it to sheltered use, from -4 °F (-20 °C) to 104 °F (40 °C) when discharging and from 32 °F (0 °C) to 104 °F (40 °C) when charging. The budget climbs with batteries, hubs and cables. Announced warranty: 5 years.

What is this power station best for?

Home & Power cuts Ideal
With 2764.8 Wh, 3840 W continuous and a UPS that switches over in 20 ms, the Apex 300 is first and foremost designed for power outages at home. Plugged into a wall outlet, it feeds your devices directly and takes over on battery the moment the grid drops: fridge, freezer, router, lighting, a computer and several small appliances keep running together for many hours. Its dual-voltage 120 V and 240 V outlets spread the loads, and Power Lifting mode allows up to 7680 W for a purely resistive kettle or space heater. Its decisive advantage is that it can grow step by step: each B300K battery adds 2764.8 Wh, up to 19.4 kWh per unit and 58 kWh with three units linked by the Hub A1, enough to aim for several days of autonomy. The app schedules backup mode and the other energy modes. One limit to keep in mind: the UPS suits routers and computers, not critical servers.

Off-grid & Solar Ideal
With two XT60 solar inputs of 1200 W each (12-60 V, 20 A), or 2400 W with no accessory, the Apex 300 connects straight to an array of panels and recovers a large part of its charge in one sunny day: Bluetti quotes 80% in 55 minutes under ideal conditions. To go beyond that ceiling, the optional SolarX 4K accessory lifts the solar input to 4000 W. The LiFePO4 battery, rated for more than 6,000 cycles to 80%, and the low idle draw (about 20 W) suit an isolated cabin, a shop or a second home. The app's self-consumption and time-of-use modes also help a grid-connected house shift its consumption. With B300K or B500K batteries and up to three units, capacity climbs towards 58 kWh, and Bluetti even quotes 100 kWh. Size it carefully: panels, modules and cables add up to a substantial budget.
-
Motorhome & Van life Suitable
In an RV or converted van, the Apex 300 handles an induction cooktop, fridge, lighting and device charging for several days, with 2764.8 Wh and 3840 W, and its TT-30R outlet is made for RV plugs. Its 2400 W solar input and the optional Charger 1 alternator charger let you recharge while driving. But the unit has no 12 V output and no USB: the Hub D1 is essential to power the on-board equipment continuously. At 84 lb (38 kg) and without wheels, it is installed permanently in a storage bay rather than carried around.
-
Health & CPAP Suitable
For a breathing-assistance device such as a CPAP, which draws a few dozen watts, 2764.8 Wh means several nights of autonomy, and the 20 ms switchover on the UPS outlets prevents the device from stopping during a power outage. The stable LiFePO4 chemistry and app monitoring are reassuring for prolonged backup use. The Apex 300 is not a medical device, however: for a vital dependency, validate the choice with your healthcare provider, keep a second energy source, and do not let ECO mode cut a low load (Bluetti advises turning it off below 60 W).
-
Remote work Suitable
For remote working, the Apex 300 protects computer, monitors, router and NAS: with an office draw of 150 to 300 W, the station lasts a full day, and the 20 ms switchover generally avoids losing a session during a brief outage. Its idle consumption of about 20 W stays reasonable for a unit plugged in permanently. Bluetti makes clear, however, that it is not a high-performance UPS for servers or critical workstations: equipment that tolerates no interruption is better protected by a dedicated UPS placed downstream. The fans become audible above about 2000 W, which does not happen with office use.
-
Job site & Tools Backup only
As an emergency source on a small job site, its 3840 W powers a drill, grinder or circular saw through its 120 V outlets. But 84 lb (38 kg) without wheels, an IP20 rating (not waterproof, keep it dry) and 12 V outputs reserved for the Hub D1 make it less suited than a lighter, more rugged station for daily outdoor work.

Comparison
At around $1,500, the Bluetti Apex 300 sits against the modular home battery backups, on searches such as "Apex 300 vs EcoFlow Delta Pro 3" or "Apex 300 vs Anker SOLIX F3800". Here is how it stacks up against three references from our catalog: the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3, the Anker SOLIX F3800 and the Bluetti Elite 400.
| Criterion | Bluetti Apex 300 | EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 | Anker SOLIX F3800 | Bluetti Elite 400 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity (base) | 2765 Wh | 4096 Wh | 3840 Wh | 3840 Wh |
| Continuous power | 3840 W (7680 W resistive peak) | 4000 W | 6000 W | 2600 W |
| Max expansion (1 unit) | 19.4 kWh | 12.3 kWh | 26.9 kWh | Not expandable |
| UPS switchover | 20 ms | 10 ms | 30 ms | 15 ms |
| Battery chemistry | LFP (LiFePO4) | LFP (LiFePO4) | LFP (LiFePO4) | LFP (LiFePO4) |
| Weight | 84 lb (38 kg) | ≈ 113.5 lb (51.5 kg) | ≈ 132 lb (60 kg) | 86 lb (39 kg) |
| Price observed | ≈ $1,499 | ≈ $2,799 | ≈ $2,000 | ≈ $1,399 |
In short, the Apex 300 offers a very balanced modular compromise in this comparison: expansion to 19.4 kWh per unit (58 kWh with three), a weight of 84 lb (38 kg) that is well below its expandable rivals, and an entry price clearly lower than the Delta Pro 3. The SOLIX F3800 wins on base capacity, expansion and continuous power (6000 W) for about $500 more, and the Elite 400 offers more capacity for a slightly lower price with built-in DC outputs, but with no expansion possible.

Our tester's review: Christophe Delpuech
What strikes you first about the Apex 300 is that it is designed as a system, not as a big battery. You put it in the garage or utility room, plug it into a wall outlet and it becomes the home's backup inverter: 3840 W available, a 20 ms switchover on the UPS outlets, nothing to reconfigure. Turbo recharging is impressive for 2.7 kWh, and the idle draw of around 20 W stays contained; tests published by the specialist press put efficiency close to 88%. The downside is real: 84 lb (38 kg) that takes two people to move, no wheels, fans that become audible above 2000 W or in Turbo charging, and no USB or 12 V output without the Hub D1 you have to add. The budget climbs fast once you stack batteries, hubs and cables. For a household that wants to start small and grow, it remains the most coherent in its category; for pure nomadic use, an Elite will be simpler.
