Bluetti vs. EcoFlow Solar Generators – Key Differences

Conclusion #1 – Bluetti’s Batteries Last Longer Than EcoFlow’s

• Bluetti has equipped nearly all of its current solar generators with LiFePO4 batteries, making them last longer than most models with lithium-ion batteries.
• Out of the five power stations compared from each company, the Bluetti models’ average battery cycle life is double that of the EcoFlow models (3,600 vs. 1,820 cycles).

This is mostly due to the Bluetti EP500Pro since its battery is rated for 6,000 cycles (highest in industry).

Conclusion #2 – EcoFlow Power Stations Charge Faster from the Wall

• EcoFlow’s X-Stream AC charging is available in all the models in this list, which is known to be the fastest AC charging technology in the industry.
• The EcoFlow models in this comparison averaged a 30% higher wattage when charging from the wall, resulting in 30% faster recharging speeds compared to the Bluetti models.

Conclusion #3 – Larger Bluetti Models Have a Higher Solar Input Maximum

• The first two sets of power stations compared (Bluetti’s EB series and EcoFlow’s River series) have the same 200W solar input max.
• However, Bluetti’s two largest models both have a 50% higher solar input capacity when compared to the EcoFlow Delta Pro (2,400W vs. 1,600W).

For the fastest charging solar generators from both AC and solar charging, check out my post here: Top 3 Fastest Charging Solar Generators (Via AC & Solar).

Conclusion #4 – EcoFlow’s Power Stations are Lighter than Bluetti’s

• On average, EcoFlow solar generators are 36% lighter than Bluetti models.
• For each brand, I combined all five models’ battery capacities and divided this by their combined weight. Compared to Bluetti, for each pound of solar generator weight, the average EcoFlow power station contains an additional 10Wh of battery life.
• In other words, this proposes that the batteries within EcoFlow’s power stations have a significantly higher energy density than Bluetti’s models.

Some of the lightest solar generators available come from Jackery. If an ultra-lightweight model is important to you I recommend reading my Jackery vs. EcoFlow breakdown here: EcoFlow vs. Jackery – Full Solar Generator Comparison (With Specs).

Bluetti EB55 vs. EcoFlow River Max

The EcoFlow River Max is better than the Bluetti EB55 because it recharges 2x faster from its wall adapter, has a removable battery, and can pair with your smartphone via the EcoFlow app. These features allow you to personalize the River Max for a better user experience.

This comparison is one of the hardest ones out of the five in this post. The River Max has the technological edge over the EB55 with its mobile app, but the EB55 has a much longer-lasting battery.

Bluetti EB55	EcoFlow River Max
Pros	Pros
– Long battery cycle life – High-powered AC ports – Several output ports (13)	– High-powered AC ports – Removable expansion battery – Pairs w/ EcoFlow app
Cons	Cons
– Battery % shown in 20% increments – Relatively heavy (16.5 lbs)	– Average battery cycle life – Relatively heavy (17 lbs)

In many cases, I’ve debated these two models. I’ve thoroughly reviewed both of them. But the River Max gives me access to a mobile app that’s usually only exclusively used with larger power stations.

Use the tables below to compare the specifications of the EcoFlow River Max to the Bluetti EB55.

Table Annotations:

• *Battery Cycle Life: Estimated number of cycles to 80% capacity
• **Recharging Times: The listed solar input and recharging time is based on the maximum solar input – not the solar panel rated power output (Ex: a 100W solar panel usually produces about 80W of actual power in good sunlight).

These power stations have a few different output ports, the biggest differences lie in the 12V DC section. The Delta Max has a more traditional 12V layout with one 120W car port and two DC5521 ports.

On the AC200MAX, these three ports exist as well, but its 5521 outputs are more powerful. The one unique port on the Bluetti is its 12V, 30A RV port. These are found on some models from different brands, but it’s not common.

Bluetti AC200MAX Overview

From its predecessors, the AC200 and AC200P, the MAX version maintains the useful features found on these power stations but also includes upgrades like:

• Battery expansion
• A 30A NEMA TT-30 AC output
• Improved USB-A, USB-C, and 12V outputs
• Improved solar input
• Improved AC output
• Pair with Bluetti mobile app

Some features that continued on from the AC200P system are its LiFePO4 battery with 3,500 cycles, number of output port options, and its signature LCD touchscreen.

Although the AC200MAX is no longer Bluetti’s largest solar generator available, it’s the only model from the company that has two predecessors from which it’s been improved upon.

10.2kWh Bluetti EP500Pro Kit – Overview

When it comes to portable power stations that are simple to set up and use, the first brand that comes to mind is either Jackery or Goal Zero. I consider these companies’ products to be easy for most people to use. This is because they have fewer buttons and clear input, output, and LCD screen layouts.

However, in order to get more capability or customization in a solar generator system, simplicity tends to diminish. This is not the case with the Bluetti EP500. It has several features that go above the abilities of a standard power station, but its touchscreen and mobile app allow you to navigate sophisticated features with ease.

Aside from its simplicity, there are two additional features of the EP500Pro that are uncommon in the solar generator industry:

• 6,000 charge cycles to 80% capacity: This rating shows how many times you can discharge and recharge your power station before its battery capacity lowers. The EP500 holds the highest cycle life rating in the industry today. This means that it will last longer than the other models available, further increasing its reliability and long-term value.
• 5-year warranty: Most solar generator warranties are for two years. This is the longest warranty for a power station that I know of, which tells me that Bluetti believes in the EP500’s effectiveness over time.

What Does It Come With?

The standard EP500 and EP500Pro as a single unit come with the following:

• AC charging cable
• PV (solar) charging cable
• Warranty card
• User manual

The EP500Pro kit that I’m comparing comes with the following:

• 2x EP500Pro power stations
• 2x AC charging cables
• 2x PV (solar) charging cables
• 1x Split-phase fusion box
• Warranty card
• User manual

10.8kWh EcoFlow Delta Pro Kit – Overview

One of the main benefits coming from the Delta Pro is its ability to be used for RV use. Even with a kit like the one pictured above, each module has wheels and a telescoping handle to make it easier to transport.

With two Delta Pros connected to the Double Voltage Hub, you can power nearly any home appliance you may need at 240V. When connected in this way, the Delta Pros can achieve 7,200W of continuous power. To put that into perspective, the average electric oven uses about 3,000W and is one of the highest power consumers in a household.

A system with this output capability should also have a good amount of battery storage to be able to use power for long periods of time. With two Delta Pros and one Smart Battery, this setup has 10.8kWh of backup power available. This is a significant system in terms of size and capability. Plus, you can add more batteries if needed.

What Does It Come With?

Since this configuration that I’m comparing today is not found in a single kit, I combined multiple Delta Pro products into a kit. I’m showing the kit that I created from Shop Solar Kits because they had the lowest price compared to Amazon and Bluetti’s websites.

My kit combines the following packages:

• 2x Delta Pro kit (link to kit)
• 1x Delta Pro Extra Smart Battery
• 1x Double Voltage Hub (link)

In total, the combined products/packages come with the following:

• 2x Delta Pro power stations
• 1x Delta Pro Smart Extra Battery
• 1x Double Voltage Hub
• 2x AC charging cables
• 2x car charging cables
• 2x Solar charging cables
• 2x DC5521 to DC5525 cables
• 2x Handle covers
• 2x Delta Pro to Smart Generator adapters
• 2x User manuals
• 1x Copy of Solar Generator Setup & Maintenance Guide
• 2-Year warranty

What Can They Power?

Power Station/Appliance	EP500Pro (10.2kWh Kit)	Delta Pro (10.8kWh Kit)
LCD TV (150W)	52 Hours	55 Hours
Desktop Computer (200W)	39 Hours	41 Hours
Microwave (1100W)	7.1 Hours	7.5 Hours
Toaster (650W)	12 Hours	12.7 Hours
Full-Size Fridge (2,000Wh/day)	3.91 Days	4.13 Days
Fridge + TV + Desktop Computer	16 Hours	17 Hours
Electric Oven (3,000W)	2.6 Hours	2.7 Hours

With this much capability coming from both power station kits, you may want to take an inventory of your appliances and their power consumption. Older appliances tend to use more power than recent ones, so these times may vary.

I recommend using a simple energy consumption calculator like RapidTables to get an idea of your home or RV’s usage over time.

Which Is Better Overall?

The EP500Pro x2 with split-phase is the better option because it recharges faster from solar and has a higher battery cycle life. Its battery longevity provides the most value because it lasts nearly twice as long as the Delta Pro kit.

Conclusion: Which Company Produces Better Solar Generators?

EcoFlow’s River series is better than Bluetti’s smaller power stations. However, Bluetti has better large solar generators due to their output port options, faster solar charging, better warranties, and higher quality batteries that last longer.
