Brief conclusions of the comparison portable power stations

BLUETTI B230 and B300 are battery modules with the same LiFePO4 battery type and 51.2 V voltage, but they differ in capacity and functionality. The B230 has a capacity of 40 Ah and weighs 21.8 kg, while the B300 offers a larger capacity of 60 Ah and weighs 36.1 kg, making it more suitable for extended use. Both units support solar panel charging and have a similar charging time from an outlet (420 minutes), but the B300 can charge faster when using a combined source (700 W). Users note that both units are convenient to carry thanks to handles, but the B300 offers more possibilities for connecting additional batteries. Overall, the choice between them depends on your capacity and weight needs.

Glossary

Input port XT60

Power connector with two round connectors, used to replenish energy reserves in the battery cells of the charging station. For the most part, the input port of the XT60 is for charging the device from solar panels using the appropriate cable.

Add. ports

Additional input connectors provided in the design of the charging station in addition to those described above.

Battery capacity

Nominal battery capacity, in fact - the amount of energy that is supposed to be stored. The larger it is, the longer the battery life of the charging station will be, all other things being equal. On the other hand, this parameter also affects the dimensions, weight and price of the battery, despite the fact that an energy-intensive battery is not always required. By the indicator of capacity in watt-hours, you can compare batteries with each other.

Charging time (socket + solar panel) ≈

The parameter allows you to estimate the approximate battery charging time in the mode of combined connection of a portable power station - from a power outlet and a solar panel overnight. This method of replenishing energy reserves allows you to speed up the charging process.

Charging power (solar panel)

The power in watts provided when charging a device from a solar panel.

The higher the charging power, all other things being equal, the less time it will take to replenish the energy reserves in the cells of the device's own battery. This section provides the maximum power value that the charging station can accept. Accordingly, this indicator is supposed to be taken into account when choosing compatible solar panels.

Charging power (socket + solar panel)

Charging power with a combined variant of power supply to the device - from the socket and the solar panel at the same time.

PSU

— External. Outdoor placement of the power supply requires additional space. However, most blocks of this type are quite compact in size and are equipped with “plugs” for sockets right on the case - in other words, the block is installed on a socket, and from there the wire stretches to the charging station. There are also external power supplies on the cable. Considering that you only need to connect the adapter while the device is charging, an external power supply is a very convenient solution.

- Internal. The built-in power supply does not take up space outside the charging station, however, it can increase the dimensions and weight of the device. The advantage of this arrangement is that the most common power wire goes from the housing to the socket, without additional equipment on it. At one end it is connected to the socket, the other end is connected to the input connector of the charging station.
