BLUETTI Elite 30 V2: how long it runs

What it runs

• Average fridge3.1 h70.4 W · if it can start it
• Modem + router12.2 h11 W
• 4 LED bulbs5.7 h34 W
• CPAP, humidifier on7.9 h22 W

From the specs

CPAP users: follow your doctor’s and the device maker’s advice on backup power.

Motors and solar

BLUETTI’s product-page summary mentions 1,500 W surge, but its spec table and manual list no surge rating, only “Lifting Power”, which is for heaters, kettles and other resistive loads. Own draw: about 9 W (manual), included in every runtime here.

Solar: up to 200 W, about 1.9 sun hours to full by our math. BLUETTI lists 2.2 h from its 200 W maximum solar input.

Sun hours to full with one panel: 288 Wh ÷ (0.75 × the panel’s watts, up to the 200 W one input takes). † The panel’s short-circuit current is above the 10 A limit, so it may charge a little slower. Left out, by the specs: the 350W panel (its 44 V open-circuit voltage is above the 28 V input limit); the SORA 500 (its 49.1 V open-circuit voltage is above the 28 V input limit).
