Where are the gaps in the BLUETTI lineup?
BLUETTI has a model in every size band. Some specs aren't published for every model: surge (3 of 9) and rated cycles (1 of 9).
Unpublished specs show as "Not published" on each model page and are never estimated, so a model can drop out of a use-case list because a figure is missing.
