World's Smallest 3 kWh Power Station Launches This Year

Power outages and energy independence just got easier. Bluetti's new Elite 300 packs serious backup power into a package small enough to carry with one hand.

The company is launching what it calls the world's smallest 3 kilowatt-hour portable power station. At just under 58 pounds and roughly the size of a milk crate, the Elite 300 can keep your essentials running during outages or power your adventures off the grid.

The compact design builds on lessons learned from Bluetti's Elite 200 V2, which trimmed both size and weight from earlier models. Now the Elite 300 pushes those gains even further while tripling the energy storage capacity.

Here's what makes it powerful. The station delivers 2,400 watts of continuous AC output, enough to run a refrigerator, laptop, and lights simultaneously. Need more juice? Power Lifting Mode cranks output to 4,800 watts for energy-hungry appliances like power tools or electric heaters.

The timing couldn't be better. Extreme weather events continue disrupting power grids across the country, leaving families in the dark for hours or days. Meanwhile, remote workers, RV enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers need reliable power far from outlets.

The Ripple Effect

Portable power stations represent a quiet revolution in energy independence. Unlike gas generators that spew fumes and require fuel runs, these battery-based systems charge from solar panels or wall outlets and run silently.

That means families can keep medical devices running during blackouts without carbon monoxide risks. Small business owners can maintain operations when the grid fails. And emergency response teams gain flexible power solutions for disaster zones.

The technology also democratizes backup power. Traditional whole-home battery systems cost thousands to install and require professional setup. Portable stations like the Elite 300 arrive ready to use, making emergency preparedness accessible to renters, apartment dwellers, and budget-conscious households.

Bluetti plans a global launch, with slight specification variations by region to meet local electrical standards. The worldwide rollout suggests strong demand for reliable, portable power solutions spans continents and cultures.

More people gaining access to backup power means fewer families left vulnerable when storms strike.
