At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers choosing between a mid-weight whole-home backup unit and a high-capacity powerhouse built for extended outages or heavy loads. The Yeti Pro 4000 nearly doubles the Elite 200 V2 in battery capacity (3,993.6 Wh vs. 2,073 Wh) and delivers 3,600W of running power with a 7,200W surge rating, enough to start demanding appliances like well pumps or large air conditioners.
It also powered 47 of 53 tested devices compared to 43 for the Elite 200 V2, earning a higher compatibility score of 95 vs. 83.5. Solar input on the Yeti tops out at 3,000W, tripling the Elite's 1,000W ceiling, which matters for off-grid setups with large panel arrays.
The tradeoff is significant: at 115.7 lbs, the Yeti is more than twice the weight of the 53.4 lb Elite, and its 4,000-cycle LFP rating falls short of the Elite's 6,000 cycles.
