Featuring a slim vertical footprint, the latest Elite Series addition combines high portability with everyday reliability.
LAS VEGAS, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BLUETTI, a global leader in clean energy solutions, today launched the Elite 100 mini Portable Power Station on BLUETTI Store and Amazon. As BLUETTI's smallest and lightest 1 kWh-class power station to date, the Elite 100 mini brings greater portability to camping, road trips, and everyday backup.
1kWh Power, With Less Bulk
Compared with the classic AC180, the Elite 100 mini occupies about 45% less volume and weighs roughly one-third less at just 23.6 lbs (10.7 kg). Its vertical form makes it easier to place beside a desk, within a living space, or inside a packed vehicle trunk.
The Elite 100 mini delivers 700W of continuous AC output, while Power Lifting Mode supports compatible resistive appliances up to 1,400W. Nine output ports allow users to power multiple devices at once, including a high-speed 140W USB-C port for compatible laptops. With 1,004.8Wh of stored energy, the Elite 100 mini can:
- Charge a laptop up to 13 times or a smartphone more than 34 times
- Keep a portable car fridge running for more than 34 hours
Built for the Outdoors: 17-Year Lifespan & Campsite Lighting
Engineered for rugged outdoor adventure and long-term utility, the Elite 100 mini uses long-life LiFePO₄ battery cells rated for more than 6,000 cycles to 80% capacity—equivalent to approximately 17 years of daily use. Supported by 50+ built-in safety safeguards and smart BLUETTI App control, it ensures long-term thermal stability and reliable operation across tough outdoor environments. For added outdoor utility, an integrated multi-mode LED light provides warm, cool, and SOS settings, offering up to 11 days of continuous campsite lighting or emergency signaling.
Off-Grid Power & Emergency Backup
For camping, road trips, and overlanding, the Elite 100 mini solar generator pairs with the Charger 1 DC-DC Alternator Charger for flexible replenishment on the road. At home, when plugged into a wall outlet in UPS mode, it switches to battery power within 10ms of an outage, helping Wi-Fi routers, modems, and other network essentials stay powered.
Availability and Pricing
The BLUETTI Elite 100 mini is available starting today on the BLUETTI Store and Amazon, priced at $429 for the standalone unit. Buyers can also receive an extra 5% off by applying the promo code BLUETTI5OFF at checkout.
- Elite 100 mini Standalone: $429
- Elite 100 mini + 100W Solar Panel Bundle: $559

BLUETTI Launches the Elite 100 mini: Its Smallest 1 kWh Portable Power for Travel and Home
AI vision inspection platform recognized in Artificial Intelligence and Construction & Industrial Tech
SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A.I.Matics' AIM-T1, an AI vision inspection platform that helps electronics manufacturers identify defects and adapt inspections to new products, has been named a CES 2027 Innovation Awards Honoree in two categories: Artificial Intelligence and Construction & Industrial Tech.
AIM-T1 is designed for quality, process and manufacturing engineers working with products such as camera modules, semiconductor packages and printed circuit board assemblies. It addresses a recurring challenge in electronics production: maintaining consistent inspection as product designs and manufacturing requirements change.
Introducing a new product can require manufacturers to collect defect images, revise inspection criteria and adjust imaging equipment. These tasks can place additional demands on experienced inspectors and AI engineers, particularly in facilities with frequent product changeovers.
AIM-T1 combines modular imaging hardware with software-defined inspection to help teams adapt their inspection workflows on a common platform. The system uses reference samples of acceptable products to establish inspection criteria and identify deviations that may indicate defects.
The platform incorporates world model technology and in-context learning. Its optical system combines liquid lens technology with electronic focus stacking to capture images at multiple focal planes without mechanical Z-axis movement. Camera resolution, lens magnification, lighting and inspection configurations can be adjusted to suit different applications.
Operators can use a dedicated software interface to configure inspection criteria, review results and refine inspection models. The platform is designed to reduce reliance on specialized expertise for each product changeover by making inspection knowledge easier to reuse.
For electronics manufacturers reshoring production or adding regional capacity, transferring inspection expertise is an important part of bringing new facilities online. AIM-T1 is designed to make inspection workflows easier to reuse across products and production lines, helping quality and manufacturing teams establish inspection processes at new locations.
Organized by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the CES Innovation Awards program recognizes outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products. CES 2027 will take place Jan. 6–9 in Las Vegas.
A.I.Matics plans to showcase AIM-T1 at CES 2027 and meet with manufacturers, automation equipment integrators and potential distribution partners. Booth and meeting details will be announced once confirmed.
