BLUETTI Elite 10 Mini — Portable Power Station Review

I’ve found my new favorite machine, or gadget. I’m not sure how to classify it. It’s the new BLUETTI Elite 10 Mini Power Station. It’s a 200W, 128Wh, 3.97 lb portable power station that is super easy to take around, and cute.

We’ve had a large BLUETTI EP500 Pro for a couple of years, and love the large portable power station. It’s a superb backup power station for when the power goes out from a hurricane or such. But it’s got wheels on it because it’s extremely heavy. This BLUETTI Elite 10 Mini Power Station is in a whole different category.

It’s perfect for taking around town if you need a portable power backup station for your computer (like I regularly do). From all the school dropoffs and pickups, as well as tennis practice and ice skating lessons, I sometimes need to power my computer away from home while in the car. This is the perfect device for that. It’s got enough energy storage that it’s useful and can get my computer recharged, but it’s small and light enough that it can easily be tossed into the trunk (well, maybe don’t toss it in) or the back seat. I actually like placing it right on the center console once parked.

As you can see above, it comes in a nice light green. It also comes in grey if you’re not as much into color.

The BLUETTI Elite 10 Mini Power Station is normally priced at $239, but that price has been cut down to $129 for the holidays!

You can also use it out camping, and it can be solar powered.

Also, if you do have occasional power outages that don’t last that long, it’s probably the perfect device, since it’s cheap, easy to move, and doesn’t take up much space. It also has a built-in light that can be quite useful in such scenarios.

Plus, it just looks cute. It has been living beside our Christmas tree lately.

Here are some more key stats and facts on the miniature power station:

• 10ms Seamless Backup: UPS mode keeps work and gaming online without interruption.
• 6 Outputs: 1 AC + 5 DC outlets power laptops, cameras, mini fridges, and more simultaneously
• 70-min Fast Recharge: Get ready for travel in a coffee break.
• 4 Flexible Charging Options: Supports AC, car, solar (60/100W) and AC+solar charging.
• LED Lighting: Built-in LED with 3 modes (Cold/Warm/SOS) lasts 50 hours for emergency use.
• Durable LiFePO₄ Battery: Over 10 years of reliable backup with 3,000+ cycles to 80%.
• Smart App Control: Stay in charge via Bluetooth, anytime.

Having a LiFePO₄ battery actually means it’s fine to charge up to 100% without worry of battery degradation. That said, for storing it for a long time, like all batteries, I recommend keeping it at around 50%.

Overall, I absolutely love the Elite 10 Mini. It’s my new favorite device, and I have to admit that I actually take it around with me even more than I need to — just in case. If I’m being honest, it’s just because of how fond I am of it.
