BLUETTI has just launched the Elite 30 mini, the smallest station in its Elite line. It is built around one idea: backup power small enough to carry every day. You get 288Wh of capacity and a 300W inverter in a 3.3 kg body, with a retractable 140W USB-C cable built straight into the unit.
The details below summarise BLUETTI's published figures. They are not results of hands-on ClipRaptor testing.
What the Elite 30 mini is
At its core is a 288Wh battery paired with a 300W inverter that can surge to 600W using BLUETTI's "Power-Lifting" mode. The headline feature is the built-in, two-way 140W retractable USB-C cable, so there is one less cable to pack and you can fast-charge a laptop directly. It also carries seven output ports, a built-in LED emergency light and app control. At 3.3 kg (7.3 lb) it sits much closer to a large power bank than to a traditional power station.
The headline specifications
| Specification | Manufacturer figure |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 288 Wh |
| AC output | 300 W rated (600 W Power-Lifting surge) |
| Built-in cable | 140 W retractable USB-C (two-way) |
| Output ports | 7 |
| Charge cycles | 6,000+ |
| UPS switchover | under 10 ms |
| Fast charge | 80% in about 46 min, full in about 103 min |
| Weight | 3.3 kg (7.3 lb) |
| Standby draw | 5 W |
These values come from BLUETTI's official Elite 30 mini product page. Cycle life and charge times are manufacturer claims measured under their own conditions; real figures vary with temperature, load and how the unit is charged.
Who it's for
The 288Wh capacity and 140W USB-C cable make this a natural fit for laptops, cameras, phones, drones and other small electronics, whether at a desk, on the road or at a campsite. The sub-10ms UPS switchover means it can also sit between the wall and a small device as a short-term battery backup. What it is not built for is heavy appliances: with a 300W ceiling, a kettle, heater or microwave is out of scope.
Price and availability
BLUETTI lists the Elite 30 mini at a launch price of $249.99, with solar bundles at $349.99 (60W) and $429.99 (100W). It is listed to ship from early November 2026.
Where it fits in the range
Next to the Elite 30 V2 (also 288Wh but 600W output), the mini trades peak output for size and the integrated cable. If you need to run more at once, the V2 makes sense; if you want the lightest thing that still charges a laptop fast, the mini is the pick.
