Bluetti is one of the most popular brands in the global market for solar-chargeable battery packs and portable power stations. This is actually the brand with the largest collection of power stations in all segments of the market, starting from an entry-level EB3A compact model to a heavy-duty EP900 home battery pack.
Since its arrival in the USA market some years ago, Bluetti has been a front-runner in the market along with EcoFlow. These two brands actually replaced the then-leading power station makers, Goal Zero and Jackery.
Jackery could recently mark its reentry with some incredible compact power stations, including the new LFP-powered, modular Explorer 2000 Plus.
As of now, with a versatile portfolio of Bluetti solar power stations out there, it is the best time to have a look at what alternative options these models have. In this article on Buetti alternatives, I would like to explore some of the coolest alternatives to the leading models of Bluetti in all segments of the market.
Absolutely, this article can give you a clear insight into buying the best power station – either a Bluetti or its alternative. We have already done an article on the best EcoFlow and Jackery alternatives here. Have a look at them if you are excited to know more about different power stations in different segments.
Moreover, we have compiled a detailed article on the best home-friendly power packs from the four main brands: Bluetti, EcoFlow, Zendure, and Mango Power.
My Picks of the Bluetti Alternatives
Bluetti Vs. EcoFlow – EB3A, EB55, AC60+B80 Vs. EcoFlow River 2
EcoFlow is indeed the best competitor to Bluetti, with perfect alternative models for all its main products.
But brands like Jackery, Mango Power, and Zendure also have some cool models that can replace some of the popular Bluetti models.
When it comes to the two entry-level power stations, the EB3A and EB55, EcoFlow’s River 2 and River 2 Max are the ideal replacements.
The EB3A is a 268 Wh/600-watt compact power station, while its EcoFlow replacement, the River 2, is a 256 Wh/300-watt power station with an X-boost output of 600 watts.
The little Bluetti battery can output peak power of up to 1200 watts.
But Blutti’s brand-new AC60+B80 is a 403 Wh small modular power station with the same 600-watt inverter. This is what gives Bluetti a clear edge over EcoFlow and other brands.
The device is the world’s first smallest LFP power station with a modular feature, as you can expand it up to 2,015 Wh using the brand’s B80 and other extra battery packs.
The EB55 is a 537 Wh/700-watt compact power station that has the River 2 Max in close proximity as a competitor in the EcoFlow lineup. The River 2 Max is only a 512 Wh battery with a 500-watt output.
Bluetti Vs. Jackery – The AC200 Max Vs. Explorer 2000 Plus
Jackery has been one of the leading players in the segment of portable power stations even before the arrival of Bluetti in the US and Canadian markets.
Its series of Explorer power stations have been the favorite choices of outdoor enthusiasts and campers, but with the new models from Bluetti and EcoFlow, Jackery couldn’t keep up the momentum.
Recently, the brand came up with a new modular power station with an LFP battery, the Explorer 2000 Plus, which is, of course, the brand’s first modular LFP battery pack.
In my view, this battery looks to be the best alternative to Bluetti’s very famous AC200 Max, which is a 2,048 Wh/2,200-watt battery pack that can be expanded up to 6,144 Wh with a pair of the B230 extra battery packs and up to 8,192 Wh with two B300s.
The Jackery is a 2042.8 Wh battery pack with a 3000-watt inverter. It can be expanded up to 24 kWh using the brand’s extra battery packs, and a pair of the base units can make it a 6000-watt (240V) power station.
But it is very expensive compared to the similarly-spec’d AC200 Max.
