Amazon had no offer for this model on its own when we checked on November 1, 2026.
Buy this instead: BLUETTI Elite 30 V2, $290. It holds at least as much (288 Wh) and puts out at least as much (600 W), and Amazon sells it today.

The range behind that
This is a 286Wh battery with 600W of output, which means it gives back about 247 watt-hours at a typical household load (estimated) and can run anything drawing up to 600 watts at once.
It runs indoors and makes no fumes. Of the 16 household loads we track, it can run 6 for at least part of a day.

Hours of use on one charge. Typical is the middle of our range for that appliance; the range runs from a hard-working unit to an efficient one. Short-burst loads (microwave, coffee maker, garage door) show running time at full power instead. “Starts it” means the peak output covers even a hard-starting one.

Recall screen
No published recall names this exact model
No CPSC recall in the 2026-10-09 recall list names this exact model (1 recall names the brand; none names this model).

Use the CPSC recall search.
How we know the screen was not simply blind
Finding nothing only means something if the search could have found something. So we searched the same records for this brand and got 1 recall. That proves the screen can see this brand, so finding nothing for this model is a real result.
