LAS VEGAS, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BLUETTI, a leader in portable power stations and eco-friendly energy solutions, launches the Elite 200 V2, a 2KWh all-powerful portable power station designed for easy and convenient home backup power and outdoor activities.

Building on the remarkable success of the AC200P — praised by CNET as the “Best Overall Power Station”— the Elite 200 V2 is BLUETTI’s refined upgrade, created in response to valuable customer feedback after selling over 200,000 units of the AC200P. As the world’s first portable power station to use LiFePO4 battery technology, the AC200P set new standards in the industry. Its successor, the Elite 200 V2, redefines portable power station with enhanced battery longevity, a sleek and ultra-compact design, and a beautifully clean exterior, perfectly combining performance with elegance in energy solutions.

17 Years Use with Automotive-Grade Battery

BLUETTI was one of the first brands to adopt LiFePO4 batteries while others used NCM batteries with only 500 life cycles. Now, it raises the bar with ultra-long-lasting automotive-grade LFP batteries. The Bluetti Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station boasts a 6,000+ cycle lifespan, so you can rely on it for 17 years of daily use — 12 times the typical industry standard. It’s also the first in the industry to pass over 33 rigorous battery tests by CNAS, ensuring high standards of performance and stability. This level of durability means you’ll have decades of reliable power and a more sustainable lifestyle.

Backup Power for Homes, RVs, and Beyond

With hurricanes and winter storms on the rise, along with increasingly lengthy power outages, reliable backup power is essential for peace of mind. The Elite 200 V2 portable power station delivers a powerful 2,600W output, capable of running household essentials like refrigerators, lights, routers, and microwaves with ease. Say goodbye to worries about spoiled groceries or a dark home — its high-capacity 2,073.6Wh battery keeps a 100W refrigerator running for up to 16.8 hours.

For road-trippers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts, the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station is an essential power source, charging everything from space heaters and coffee makers to phones and camera batteries. When powering high-powered devices, simply activate the Power Lifting mode to access up to 3,900W — sufficient for running hot plates, hair dryers, and other high-demand appliances. Whether you’re camping off the grid or embarking on a cross-country road trip, the Elite 200 V2 provides reliable portable power to keep your essentials running, making it the perfect outdoor power solution for any adventure.

Compact, Space-Saving Design for Versatile Use

Space is a premium in RVs, tiny home offices, and campers, and the Elite 200 V2 fits right in. It’s the size of a 1kWh unit, yet packs a 2kWh punch in a 13.7*9.8*12.6 inches body — 40% smaller than its predecessor. BLUETTI achieves this by integrating wireless internal structure design and advanced LFP prismatic cells, which enable zero-gap battery stacking for ultimate space efficiency. Unlike the commonly used cylindrical cells, the prismatic cells hold more energy and are less likely to have defects.

3 Fast Charging Options

Gone are the days of waiting all night to recharge your power station. With BLUETTI’s Turbo technology, you can top off the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station to 80% in just 50 minutes with a dual AC and solar setup. And for you road warriors, the optional 560W high-speed car charger means you can recharge in just 4.2 hours while driving between stops. When you’re deep into the woods, it’s also convenient to charge from the sun at a maximum of 1,000W. Thanks to built-in solar tracking technology, it automatically activates to capture solar energy whenever there is light.

Tech-Powered Safety for Everyday Use

Using the Elite 200 V2 is as easy and safe as using your smartphone. The Elite 200 V2 is backed by multiple safety technologies for worry-free use. The proprietary BLUETOPUS AI-BMS smart battery management system regulates charging, prevents overheating, and keeps everything safe and stable. With multi-chip protection, you can confidently plug in high-starting power devices like car fridges through the car outlet or connect high-voltage solar panels without risking damage to the unit. Plus, it’s fire-resistant, shock-proof, and adaptive to your challenging adventures.

Super Quiet and Efficient Power

Say goodbye to noisy generators that can disturb your sleep or work. Supported by BLUETTI’s noise-canceling cooling technology, the Elite 200 V2 operates as low as 16dB — so quiet, it’s like the gentle rustle of leaves. This means you can run it in a tent, cabin, or even a home office. Plus, it draws minimal self-power of under 10W per hour when idle, giving you maximum efficiency with the least waste. Even if you accidentally leave it on overnight with AC/DC active, it retains 94% of its charge, significantly outperforming competitors that typically remain only 81%.

Price and Availability

From November 12 to December 2, the Elite 200 V2 is available at a debut price of just USD $1,099 on both the Bluetti Official Site and Amazon. Enjoy an additional 5% off with the code ELITE200V2PR at checkout.

Enhancing Guest Experience and Operational Efficiency with Cutting-Edge AI Solutions

TAIPEI, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Aiello, a leading startup specializing in Natural Language Processing (NLP), is proud to announce its partnership with Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR). This collaboration aims to redefine standards in the hospitality industry by deploying the AI-powered Aiello Voice Assistant (AVA) across six MHR’s properties in Singapore and Thailand, including Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore, Orchard Hotel Singapore, M Social Hotel Singapore, Studio M Hotel Singapore, M Hotel Singapore City Centre and M Social Hotel Phuket in Thailand.

Leveraging Aiello’s innovative AI technology, this strategic initiative aims not only to enhance the guest experience through personalized, voice-activated services but also to establish new benchmarks for operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.

“Millennium Hotels and Resorts distinguishes itself by leveraging cutting-edge technology and is committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences with a Blue Ocean Strategy mindset,” shared Saurabh Prakash, Interim Chief Operating Officer & Chief Commercial Officer at Millennium Hotels and Resorts. “By embracing Aiello’s AI technology, we’re   adopting a data-driven approach that allows us to better understand guest preferences, enabling us to deliver personalized services while unlocking new revenue opportunities.”

Aiello CEO and Co-founder Vic Shen remarked, “Through this collaboration, we have demonstrated how our AI solutions can transform hotel management. By creating a bespoke AI database for MHR, alongside a property and corporate dashboard that visualizes AVA and TMS user behavior data, we empower hoteliers to monitor and understand guest interactions anytime and anywhere. With the addition of a multi-hotel view, MHR gains a comprehensive understanding across properties, enabling data-driven strategies and truly personalized service.

Pioneering AI Integration to Enhance Property Value and Drive Sustainable Growth

Ke-Vin Lim, Head of Group Innovation at City Developments Limited (CDL), emphasized that Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) is the first hotel group in Singapore to implement the AVA in guest rooms. “This initiative reflects our commitment to integrating advanced technology, significantly enhancing property value and positioning us as more competitive and attractive for the future,” he said.

Lim also noted that the adoption of AI aligns perfectly with MHR’s sustainability vision. “By replacing outdated in-room amenities and printed materials, we’re making a long-term, sustainable investment,” Lim commented. MHR’s six properties in Singapore have already achieved Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) certification. Shen also emphasized, “For instance, by replacing the cabling in over 2,300 rooms with AVA, we would reduce 6,240 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions, which is equivalent to what would require 284 trees to absorb,” further underscoring MHR’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

Driving Operational Efficiency and Workforce Competitiveness with AI and Digital Transformation

According to an Oracle study, 67% of hotels are facing staffing shortages, with 12% indicating that this impacts their operational effectiveness. “Addressing these operational challenges has been a key motivation for integrating technology into MHR’s systems,” said Andy Tan, Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Partnerships at MHR. “Integrating AVA with our task management system, housekeeping staff can receive real-time updates on room statuses and guest requests, reducing manual tasks and streamlining workflows.” he added. While system integration posed initial challenges, the expertise of Aiello’s team ensured a smooth transition with minimal disruption to existing IT infrastructure.

M Social Hotel Phuket Revolutionizes Guest Services with Aiello Voice Assistant

As the first hotel in MHR group to implement AVA, M Social Hotel Phuket has achieved significant success in transforming guest services. “Our goal was not only to enhance operational efficiency but also to deliver a seamless, enjoyable experience for our guests,” said Pjey Mayandi, General Manager of M Social Hotel Phuket. Serving as the hotel’s central hub, AVA integrates cloud-based phone systems, task management, in-room dining, and smart room controls, significantly streamlining operations. Since replacing traditional in-room phones, M Social Hotel Phuket has seen a significant reduction in call volumes, further showcasing the system’s effectiveness.
