BLUETTI’s New 1kWh Power Station Is Shockingly Small and Hits Canada Today

This post is sponsored by our partner BLUETTI Canada.

Canadian weekends fill up fast. Phones, laptops, cameras, drones and a portable fridge all want juice at once, and most 1kWh power stations that can keep up are still the size of a carry-on. BLUETTI is launching the Elite 100 mini in Canada on September 1, 2026, and the pitch is right there in the spec sheet. 1kWh power, smaller footprint.

The Elite 100 mini packs 1,004.8Wh of UltraCell LiFePO4 capacity into a compact vertical chassis that measures 235 x 215.5 x 293 mm and weighs 23.59 lbs. Volume comes in at 14.7L, which is the kind of size that actually fits in a car trunk, an RV cabinet, a tent vestibule, on a kitchen counter or beside a home desk without taking over the whole space. One person can pick it up and move it without making a production out of it. Continuous AC output is 700W, aimed at light outdoor and mobile loads rather than running a household air conditioner.

That mix is meant for weekend camping, road trips, car camping, RV and vanlife setups, outdoor photography and videography, drone flying, outdoor content creation and remote work, plus everyday portable power and essential home backup. Think phones, laptops, cameras, drones, projectors, fans, speakers, camping lights and portable refrigerators. BLUETTI’s own estimates put a full charge at up to 55 smartphone top-ups, up to 15 laptop charges, up to 34 hours on a portable fridge, and up to 264 hours of LED lighting in Warm mode or 203 hours in Cold mode.

Reliability is the other half of the pitch. The UltraCell LiFePO4 pack is rated for 6,000-plus cycles, which works out to roughly 17 years if you run one full cycle a day. PowerArmor protection, more than 50 safety protections and 20 rigorous tests sit behind that rating. UPS switchover is as fast as 10 ms, which matters if you are backing up a router, a laptop or other sensitive gear when the lights flicker.

App control comes over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with remote on/off, scheduled operation, battery monitoring and notifications through the BLUETTI app. There are multiple UPS modes to pick from depending on what you are protecting. A built-in LED light adds Cold, Warm and SOS modes for camp and outage use.

Early-bird launch pricing is $549 CAD. The Elite 100 mini goes live September 1, 2026 at 10:00 PM EST on the BLUETTI Canada site and Amazon Canada.

If you want one portable station that covers the light outdoor kit without hauling a traditional 1kWh brick, the Elite 100 mini is the launch to watch on September 1.
