Expansion
EcoFlow sells RIVER 3 Plus with clip-on extra batteries (EB300 at 286 Wh, EB600 at 572 Wh) up to 858 Wh. BLUETTI’s FAQ says Elite 30 V2 is not expandable; it can only be charged from a B80 battery in Power Bank Mode. This is the main fork between the two.
Ports and charging
Elite 30 V2 lists a 140 W USB-C PD port, enough for most laptops at full speed, plus 2× 15 W USB-A. RIVER 3 Plus lists one 100 W USB-C and 2× 12 W USB-A. On AC, both take 380 W: EcoFlow claims 0–100% in 60 min, BLUETTI claims 80% in 45 min and up to 980 W with bypass.
Solar and cold weather
Solar: 200 W (12–28 V, 10 A) on the BLUETTI versus 220 W on the EcoFlow. Elite 30 V2 discharges down to −4°F; RIVER 3 Plus discharges down to 14°F but charges up to 113°F versus 104°F. Both claim a 10 ms-class UPS switchover (≤10 ms BLUETTI, <10 ms EcoFlow) and about 30 dB noise.
Weight and size
Elite 30 V2: 9.48 lb (4.3 kg), 9.8 × 7 × 6.6 in. RIVER 3 Plus: 10.4 lb, 9.2 × 9.1 × 5.8 in. Both are one-hand carries. Warranty: BLUETTI lists 5 years; the EcoFlow US spec block we checked does not state one.
