THAT FITS THE JOB.

A short list of products I would actually look at for RV power work. This page is organized by function, not by which brand has the biggest catalogue.

Heeler RV may earn a commission when you purchase through our BLUETTI links. Other links go directly to manufacturers. Prices and availability can change. Affiliate relationships do not change the calculator’s sizing results.

Portable power

BLUETTI is the recommended portable-power path here. Pick the size from your actual watt-hours and AC load, not from the biggest number on the box.

Compact portable

BLUETTI Elite 100 V2

A compact 1kWh-class unit for lighter RV, van and truck-camping loads.

  • 1,024Wh capacity
  • 1,800W AC output
  • Portable LiFePO4 platform

Portable sweet spot

BLUETTI Elite 200 V2

A useful middle ground when you want roughly 2kWh of storage with enough inverter output for more serious RV loads.

  • 2,073.6Wh capacity
  • 2,600W AC output
  • Pairs well with vehicle or solar recharge

Expandable portable

BLUETTI Apex 300

For larger portable systems where output and future expansion matter more than minimum size and weight.

  • 2,764.8Wh base capacity
  • 3,840W AC output
  • Expandable battery options

Integrated RV system

BLUETTI RV5 + B4810

The installed-system lane when you want an integrated 48V RV architecture rather than a portable box.

  • 5,000W system output
  • 5.12kWh per B4810 battery
  • Available AC/DC smart-panel architecture

Lithium batteries

Battery size should follow the load and recharge plan. For Canadian cold-weather builds, heated LiFePO4 is often more useful than simply chasing amp-hours.

Heated LiFePO4

CANBAT Heated 12V 460Ah

A high-capacity Group 8D option for serious 12V banks where cold-weather charging and large usable energy storage matter.

  • 460Ah / 5,888Wh class
  • Integrated self-heating
  • Canadian support and direct purchase

Charge while driving

Vehicle charging is where alternator capability, input current, cable length and protection matter just as much as the charger name on the box.

BLUETTI ecosystem charging

BLUETTI Charger 2

The current BLUETTI vehicle-charging direction for compatible power stations, combining alternator and solar input capability.

  • Up to 1,200W combined car + solar charging
  • Useful for travel-day recovery
  • Alternator capacity and wiring still need to be verified

Permanent DC-to-DC

Victron Orion XS

My first look for a configurable permanent DC-to-DC charging system where current limiting and system integration matter.

  • Configurable current limit
  • Bluetooth setup and monitoring
  • Designed for permanent installed systems

Monitoring & solar

Good monitoring often fixes the biggest problem first: not knowing what the battery is actually doing.

Battery monitoring

Victron SmartShunt

A clean way to get real state-of-charge, current and historical battery data without adding another display to the RV.

  • Bluetooth monitoring
  • Works with any battery chemistry
  • Good retrofit option
VIEW / FIND A VICTRON DEALER →Victron product and dealer page.
Solar charging

Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30 & 100/50

A useful size range for many RV solar systems when Bluetooth setup, battery profiles and good monitoring matter.

  • MPPT solar charging
  • VictronConnect configuration
  • Lithium and lead-acid profiles
VIEW / FIND A VICTRON DEALER →Victron product and dealer page.
Before buying: battery capacity, inverter size, solar-controller rating and DC-to-DC charger size should all be checked against the actual RV and charging plan. Use the calculator first if the system is still being sized.
