BLUETTI EB3A vs Goal Zero Yeti 300

BLUETTI EB3A and Goal Zero Yeti 300 hold almost the same battery and sell to the same person, which means the decision comes down to the details around the pack rather than the pack itself.

Two machines aimed at the same buyer

Goal Zero Yeti 300 holds a slim 11% more battery — 297Wh against 268Wh — and that is what decides how long either one lasts on the same load.

BLUETTI EB3A is the lighter of the two at 10.1 lbs, by 3.6 lb.

Goal Zero Yeti 300 is rated for more charge cycles (4000+ cycles to 80% against 2,500+ cycles to 80%) — though makers do not all test to the same remaining capacity, so read those two numbers side by side rather than as a ranking.

Drawn from 7 specifications each maker publishes, of which 7 differ. We have not handled either machine — see our methodology.

What that capacity actually runs

Watt-hours are hard to picture, so here is each pack as runtime on the loads a machine this size is usually bought for. Both columns assume 85% inverter efficiency — the conservative end of what these are rated at — so read every figure as a floor.

From solar alone, at 70% of the panel input each maker quotes — a realistic day rather than a lab figure — the BLUETTI EB3A needs about 1.9 hours of good sun to refill .

Published by only one of them

A figure missing from a spec sheet is not a zero — it is a number the maker chose not to state. These appear on one page and not the other, so they cannot be compared, only noted.

Where this comparison stops

Everything above is what the makers publish, not what either machine did in front of us. We own neither, so there is no noise measurement, no thermal behaviour under sustained load, and no view on how either holds up after two years. Makers also measure differently — cycle life at 80% capacity is not the same test as cycle life at 70% — so figures that look comparable sometimes are not. Treat this as a way to build a shortlist quickly, and read the caveats on our methodology page before you let a number decide.

Check current prices

Neither figure above is a price. These two move independently and often, and whichever is discounted this week is usually the answer when the specifications are as close as they are here.
