Will there be a DC-only Bluetti power station in the future?

Anker, EcoFlow and Jackery have one or two models of DC-only power station(s), but Bluetti has none AFAIK.

Is Bluetti planning to make a DC-only power station?

Anker has their Solix C200 DC and Solix C300 DC:

  • Lightweight (C200 DC is ~101 Wh per kg, C300 DC is ~102 Wh per kg).
  • Has XT60 solar port on both models.
  • Has both USB-A and USB-C ports.
  • No way to disable eco mode at all.

EcoFlow has their Trail 200 DC and Trail 300 DC:

  • Lightweight (200 DC is ~105 Wh per kg, 300 DC is ~112 Wh per kg).
  • Has both USB-A and USB-C ports.
  • Only the Trail 300 DC has an XT60 solar port.
  • Even if you disable eco mode, it turns off automatically after three hours of low power draw.

Jackery has their Explorer 240D:

  • Lightweight (116 Wh per kg).
  • Has both USB-A and USB-C ports.
  • Solar port is 8020 (which is still better than connecting a solar panel via USB like on the Explorer 100 Plus).
  • I’ve heard you can disable eco mode, but I have no idea if there’s a time limit like the EcoFlow.

I would love to see something about the same size as the competition, with a true XT60 solar input, at least two USB-A and two USB-C ports, ideally a 12V car socket too but not necessary. Capacity between around 200 to 300 watt-hours to compete with the other DC power stations.

I was thinking, maybe a “Handsfree DC” model, shorter in height but also half shorter in depth. The front width is already perfect and is probably the minimum required to use the LCD display. Maybe a “Handsfree 200 DC” and “Handsfree 300 DC” or something. The weight and size/volume has to be similar to the competition.

Here’s a concept image for the Bluetti Handsfree 200 DC vs the AC2A and the Handsfree 1.

I saw today there is an Elite 10v2, 128wh DC device launched first in Southeast Asia. It looks like a mini Elite 30. I have the Handsfree 1 and really like your idea of the Handsfree DC though.

I have a 548, C200 and C300. I like the built in light on the 548 and C300. I find the C300 the most useful for its size. I like the C200 least as its a bit lacking in capacity for me and also has no light. I like that they are all narrow, upright designs as they take up little room on a desk or to store away or transport.

I didn’t consider the Trails as the 300 version is the only size I would be interested in and it isn’t LifePo4, which I think is a backward step from Ecoflow.

I hope the Elite 10 is followed by an Elite 20 with at least double the watt hours. There were no other specs with the available info on the Elite 10, such as dimensions and weight. I’d be very interested to know that information.
