How we chose

How we chose: We compared capacity, output, charge time, cycle life, warranty and current price across the four Elite models. Capacity runs from 1024 Wh on the Elite 100 V2 to 3840 Wh on the Elite 400. Output runs from 1800 W to 2600 W. The Elite 200 V2 charges to full in 1.4 hrs and carries a 5-year warranty; the Elite 100 V2 reaches 80% charge in 45 Min. Cycle life of 6000 + is listed for the Elite 300.

On current price, the Elite 100 V2 is $489.00, the Elite 200 V2 is $899.00, the Elite 300 is $1199.00, and the Elite 400 is $1399.00. The gaps are $410.00, $710.00 and $910.00 over the Elite 100 V2, and $300.00, $500.00 and $200.00 between the larger models.

The Elite 200 V2 is our pick for a 2 kWh-class backup: 2073.6 Wh, 2600 W output, a 1.4-hour charge time and a 5-year warranty, at $899.00. Choose the Elite 100 V2 for the lowest entry price at $489.00, or step up to the Elite 300 if 6000+ cycle life and 3014 Wh matter more than the $300.00 gap over the Elite 200 V2.

Who should skip these

If you only need to run small devices for a few hours, the Elite 100 V2 at $489.00 is the cheaper way in. Its 1024 Wh capacity and 1800 W output cover light, short loads, and it costs $410.00 less than the Elite 200 V2 and $710.00 less than the Elite 300.

Skip the Elite 200 V2 if you don't need 2073.6 Wh, 2600 W, or a 1.4-hour charge time. Skip the Elite 300 if 6000+ cycle life and 3014 Wh aren't worth $300.00 over the Elite 200 V2, and skip the Elite 400 if 1–3 days of backup and 3840 Wh aren't worth $500.00 over the Elite 200 V2 or $200.00 over the Elite 300.
