At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers choosing between two Bluetti LFP stations that sit far apart in capacity and capability. The AC200L delivers 2,400W of running power and 2,048 Wh of stored energy, enough to handle 43 out of 53 devices in our compatibility testing.
The AC70 manages 1,000W and 768 Wh, covering 24 of those same 53 devices. Solar input tells a similar story: the AC200L accepts up to 1,200W from as many as 20 compatible panels, while the AC70 tops out at 500W across 19 panels.
Both units share the same 3,000-cycle LFP chemistry and lack UPS functionality. The key tradeoff is weight and portability: the AC70 checks in at 22.5 lbs, less than half the AC200L's 62.4 lbs, and recharges via solar in roughly 2.7 hours versus 7.3 hours for its larger sibling.
