BLUETTI Apex 300 Modular Power Station 2,764 Wh

The Apex 300 is the station that Bluetti designed as a system rather than as a box. It starts from 2,764.8 Wh in LiFePO4 and 3,840 W output, and it accepts up to six B300K expansion batteries. This is the reverse logic of closed stations: you buy the base, and you expand when your usage grows.

Its 38 kg clearly classifies it as fixed installation or camper van, not for weekend car trips. At that weight, you no longer take it out of the vehicle at each stop: you install it once, neatly, and live with it.

Who is this station for?

It targets three profiles. The high-consumption van or camper first, one that runs an induction cooktop, a coffee maker, and a compressor fridge without counting. Then the home backup, with a capacity that can sustain an essential circuit for several hours. And autonomous installations like tiny houses, where modularity avoids having to repurchase everything in two years.

However, if you are looking for a station to take on a hike or to place on a camping table, look instead at the Elite 300 or the Elite 100 V2: same family, much more portable.

Features to know

The 3,840 W of continuous output is distributed across AC outlets at 230 V, with a maximum of 16 A per outlet and 7,680 W peak power to handle motor starts. The LiFePO4 chemistry is rated for 6,000 cycles at 80% capacity, which places the theoretical end of life well beyond what a traditional service battery can handle.

The detail that matters in a van is the Anderson 12 V / 50 A port (or 24 V / 25 A). It allows you to power a 12 V circuit directly instead of going through an inverter and losing efficiency on each lamp. Be careful, it goes through the Hub D1, sold separately.

What is the daily autonomy?

With 2,764.8 Wh usable, an induction cooktop drawing 2,000 W theoretically lasts around one hour and twenty minutes, which easily covers a full cooking session. A van fridge that consumes 40 to 60 W on average counts in days rather than hours. A laptop, a lamp, and a water pump disappear into the background noise.

These are orders of magnitude, not promises: the actual efficiency depends on temperature, the age of the cells, and what you plug in. Always account for a margin.

Charging: mains, solar or car

On mains, the Apex 300 accepts 2,300 W input, and up to 3,840 W with the Hub A1, which gives 80% charge in 45 minutes between 15 and 25 degrees. In solar, it goes up to 2,400 W, or 80% in less than an hour when the sun is really shining. The input accepts 12 to 60 V, 20 A per port.

Charging via the cigarette lighter is also available, capped at 560 W via the Charger 1, for a full charge in five and a half hours. This is the driving option, not the main option.

Modularity: what to know before ordering

There is a nuance that the technical sheets drown out and that changes the budget: several announced figures assume an accessory. The USB outputs, DC ports, and the famous Anderson 12 V / 50 A go through the Hub D1. The mains charging at 3,840 W requires the Hub A1. The base alone remains an excellent station, but the specs in the brochure correspond to a complete system, not to the starting box.

On the capacity side, the expansion goes up to six B300K, B300S, or B300 batteries per unit. This is where the Apex becomes interesting over time: you start reasonably, and you can add later without changing ecosystems.

What independent testers say

We haven't had it in our hands, so we won't tell you about our test. However, we have sifted through feedback from English and German-speaking testers, and two things stand out.

The first is enthusiastic: under the channel The Solar Lab, a motorhome owner explains that he powers all the 12 V circuits of his vehicle from this single unit thanks to the DC expansion, and claims that it is impossible with other stations on the market. A German vanlifer, on Wittmanns Welt, especially notes the silent charging mode at 500 W because he recharges at night.

The second is a useful counterpoint: at TechIllusion, an owner who drives with the Apex 300 in a motorhome criticizes influencers for overselling, and says that his needs are only met at the cost of constant recharges. Another recurring reservation is the total price once the hubs and batteries are added. Finally, the 120 / 240 V toggle switch, the number one argument in American tests, is useless on the French network: don't base your choice on that.
