Demanding household loads that push many competing systems beyond their limits are no problem for the Bluetti Apex 300. Its design focuses heavily on scalable AC infrastructure rather than recreational convenience, with a stripped-down chassis centered around expansion batteries, transfer-switch integration, and whole-home backup flexibility. While the 60V MPPT solar limit and optional accessory ecosystem introduce some compromises, the overall design feels intentional. Physical charging and voltage-selection switches reduce app dependence during outages, inverter efficiency is excellent, and the system intelligently prioritizes heavy startup surges while charging from smaller AC sources.

The Apex 300 is now a new one from them. And this model here pretty impressive with the stats and what it can do. So unlike the AC300, this has the battery built into it. And yes, it's using LFP cells. So it's those life PO4 cells. Super high quality. In fact, they're automotive grade that they claim Bluetooth that they're using in this.

At its core, the Bluetti Apex 300 was designed for expansion. You can use it alone, but it really shines when paired with multiple expansion batteries to build a scalable home system that’s quieter, more compact, and more efficient than what you get from a lot of the competition. At roughly 85% efficiency in our testing, it’s one of the more refined modular platforms out there. While the same could be said for the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra, we think the Apex 300 would be perfect for homeowners who want a customizable multi-battery installation without the footprint of a traditional solar power system.

Just the single unit (Apex 300) ran my fridge for 28 hrs. So I'm using it as a pass through UPS for my computer/internet and a few lights in case everything drops out. Then I'll run an extension cord to supply the fridge with the option of turning other things off as time warrants. Looking to add on more capacity as well. Got it mainly for power out situations but like that it's modular.

As an owner of an RV and Apex 300 I "believe" you only need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to monitor and update it. If I recall Wi-Fi is for cloud access and downloading the firmware. Bluetooth is for updating the firmware. I also have a couple of Elite 100 V2s that make me switch to Bluetooth for firmware updates.

This thing right here is better than the last model because this has the inverter and the battery in one unit. So, you don't need an expansion battery. So, now this is just an expansion battery, the B300K. If you need some extra power, there you go. You can actually add an expansion battery, but you could run this one all by itself because the inverter and the battery is one unit built in.

Like other heavy-duty Bluetti power stations, the Apex 300 is limited to a maximum 10A input current by default. At the UK’s 230V mains voltage, that equates to 2,300W. If your home wiring is up to it you can increase this to 13A via the password-protected Pro mode, but it won’t raise the maximum charging speed possible over a standard mains connection: that’s capped at 10A.

The average fridge uses about 1,300 W hours per day. Let's say you want to keep on some lights so you can see. We'll estimate about 100 W hours per day. Phone charging, it's about 20 watt hours a day. And maybe you have a CPAP.

This 80-pound portable power station is ready for campsites, RV and van-life nomads, and home blackouts. It’s the first to offer 12,000-watt bypass capability, enough to simultaneously run heavy appliances (like a dryer) and even charge an electric car. A voltage switch toggles between 120V and 240V, and ports allow direct hookup to RVs.

That is a very impressive unit, in terms of capability in a fairly small package. In a sense, it's like when the 6000XP came out and it was both capable and scalable. The difference is, you can use just about any type of battery with the 6000XP, while this Bluetti Apex 300 can only use their proprietary expansion batteries.

But once you stop looking at the Apex 300 as simply a giant portable power station, it starts to make a lot more sense.

I've used Bluetti and Victron. Victron is much better quality. Cost per watt is cheaper with modular components, and repair is much simpler compared to all in one boxes. I have 2 Bluetti power stations, one failed within the first year during warranty and Bluetti refused to receive it for warranty coverage.

It is awesome. And then it's got some quirks to it that I'm going to try to to explain to you folks that that I've noticed while using it. Now, there's 800,000 tear down detailed specs on YouTube of this Apex 300. So, I'm not going to bore you with that. I'm going to try to talk to you like a real person who actually, you know, uses this and give you my thoughts and impressions of this unit.

I am on my second Bluetti in my camper and like it a lot. But I had to literally throw away the first one because Bluetti customer service SUCKS! They would not tell me where to send it to have it repaired. So when my current one dies, I will not buy a Bluetti.

If you’re building a micro camper, DIY campervan conversion, or upgrading your vanlife electrical system, this review will help you decide if the Bluetti Apex 300 is worth it — or if a traditional leisure battery system still makes more sense.

I ordered one of these for my parents and I have no complaints about the voltage because of how much you get for the price. It does mean I have to take care to use fatter cables when connecting the solar panels but I am fine with that for this price.

The unit is working and it will do uh most things that you need it to do, but I will tell you this unit is not suited for off-grid camping as compared to other units sold by Bluetti or others

I was about to say it was a great system and I realized only had 3850 watts , I have a three-quarter horsepower well pump. I don’t think it would start it. I consider 7200 the minimum for a whole house with a big well pump and everything electric.

In this Bluetti Elite 300 review, we put Bluetti’s newest 3kWh portable power station through real-world testing to see if the company’s claim of the most compact and lightweight 3kWh power station actually holds up.

So I get a 50% reduction in solar input if dump my ac300/500 and get this? Or more like 75% reduction since I use 400W panels. No thanks Bluetti. You can keep all your proprietary add-on boxes.

What bothers me is that both the inverter and the solar input of the Apex is smaller than the AC500. Looks like a step down to me.

A All About RV's YouTube review · May 2025
DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE! I’m on my second one and it’s already failed with minimal use. First one was a brick right out of the box (0% wouldn’t charge) received a replacement and it finally charged after two days on 120V AND 400W of solar panels. Used it over 7 hours to power a small electric cooler and it’s a brick now. Won’t charge. Asking for a refund.

Well, not this one because this one never worked. Basically, what happened was I did the deal with Bluei. They sent me the Apex 300. It kind of worked at first and then it stopped working. It wouldn't even turn on. I couldn't charge it. It was completely dead, completely useless. They ended up sending me out another unit. Everything worked fine. And that was the one that I made the video on.

Supposedly, the US model Apex300 is not designed to be charged at 240 Volts but only at 120 Volts. Please advise your viewers not to use a 240-volt service to charge their units. The Bluetti warranty does not cover any damage caused by using the Bluetti instruction manual.

I have communicated back and forth with BLUETTI 25 times through the app and they advised me to "contact the customer service of the platform where I purchased it to return it for repairs".

A single Apex 300 can’t provide as much power or input as much solar as a single AC500, and that makes the AC500 a much better value to me.
