Anker SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station, Outdoor 288Wh LiFePO4 Battery, 300W (600W Surge) Solar Generator, 140W Two-Way Fast Charging, For Camping, Traveling, and Emergencies

The Anker SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station has been an excellent, dependable bit of kit and feels thoughtfully designed from start to finish. What really stands out: • Strong, usable power output — comfortably runs laptops, phones, lights, and other everyday essentials. • Clear, simple display — shows battery level, input/output, and remaining power at a glance. • Multiple output options — AC sockets, USB-A, and USB-C cover most devices without adapters. • Built-in illumination bar — a genuinely useful feature, not a gimmick. It has three separate brightness levels, making it ideal for low-light or night-time environments, power cuts, camping, or working after dark. Important things buyers usually want to know: ✔️ Easy to use — intuitive controls, no complicated setup. ✔️ Quiet operation — no constant fan noise. ✔️ Portable but solid — easy to carry, yet feels well built and durable. ✔️ Versatile charging — can be charged from the mains, car, or compatible solar panels. Practical notes: • The light bar is perfect for emergency use, tents, or lighting a small room during outages. • Solar panels are optional but add real flexibility if you’re off-grid. • This is ideal for backup power, not running large appliances continuously. Bottom line: If you want a compact, well-built power station with genuinely useful features — including excellent built-in lighting for night-time use — the Anker SOLIX C300 is a great choice. Reliable, practical, and well thought out. Highly recommended for power cuts, camping, travel, or emergency preparedness.

The day this arrived the power went out, was able to plug the internet box in and contact parent to sort it out, pulling 30 watts from the internet box it was saying it would last 5-8 hours. Got lots of ports 3 usb c, 1 usb a, car socket and 2 plug sockets. Design also looks cool but do keep in mind the vents at the side are open and dust and debris could get in. Charging is fast and you can change the speed incase you are worried about longevity of the battery cells. Only gripes are that is very heavy and weighed me down riding a bike alot and no shoulder strap like on the photos, I just assumed that would be included. Besides from that it's a wonderful power bank for camping, traveling or power outages. Highly recommend!

This power bank is brilliant it's good for backup and outdoor use I personally use my more Outdoors to get power to my shed I've used it in a power cut it lasted fine charges by solar panel brilliant I have a 60 watt solar panel in direct sun it takes about seven to nine hours to charge fully

**General form factor** - It's a medium sized box with a carry handle. You carry it one handed. - Maybe a little heavier than I'd like to carry without a strap, but that costs extra (and I'm a weakling so take that into consideration) **The light on the top** - It sure does exist. - Neutral white with what feels to my eyes to be a kinda greenish tinge. - I guess it's usable as a desk lamp or something? Maybe in a tent it'd be a bit tight, but really you should bring some other source of light. Like the C300 DC! Which has a more lantern style form factor, and is lighter, and if you're camping 300w AC is probably either unnecessary extra weight or completely insufficient anyway. - Doesn't seem to draw much power. - Adjustable via the app for some reason. You can also make it do SOS. **The screen** - Yeah, it's fine. - Brightness adjustable only in the app. - Provides overall input/output data, remaining time, charge and a couple status indicators. - draws maybe 0.1w when running, i could barely even tell in testing **Input/output** - Charges from the wall perfectly happily at up to 330w. Adjustable in the app from 100w. - Also charges over USB-C at 140w or solar at 100w, via the two ports in the middle. - Only one of those at a time, and if you're using one port you can't use the other, which is kind of sad. - Has a USB type A socket and a type-c socket on the left that are both capped at like 20w together, weird design. The other type-c on the right is output only. - I guess it'd be a bit of a pain if you used this in a solar-only configuration because then you'd only get one high power usb-c output and two mid ones on the left. I don't know, I've never used it like that. - Comes with a cover over the 12v car socket, which is friendly, but not in any of the advertising materials. Could use that for expandability if you need more USB ports. - Solar input socket also can be used as a 12v input, if you have an optional adapter. - You can over-panel it (have 200w of panels), but it'll only charge at max 100w. You might do this if your weather is terrible (I for instance live in the UK) so that if each panel only is putting out 50w you still can charge at 100w. - It also makes relay clunk noises when connected to wall power and charging my phone/laptop over USB-C from time to time. I have no idea what it's doing when it does this. **Inverter** - Ehhhhhhh - Two ports, or maybe 3 depending on where you live - It's advertised as a UPS, but it draws 12w just running the inverter in standby mode. - Changeover time is fine, though (10ms, reportedly) ~~_I have been speaking to the support team and they've said that the supply interruption time may actually be 20ms, contrary to the manual (<10ms) and the marketing (10ms)._~~ nevermind, they retracted that - Anker support tells me it has a pure sine wave output! so that's fun, and not in the manual, which is odd - As a UPS for a PC, it's kinda mid because of the 12w idle draw (compared to the approx. 2w of my old UPS) and the idiosyncrasies of switching mode power supplies mean my specific configuration (450w PSU, only drawing 90-280w) don't work with it. - Even if I'm within the 300w power budget, missing an AC cycle on the changeover anywhere above maybe 150w means my PSU overdraws while recharging its capacitor when power is restored, which makes the PSU very unhappy. - You can get around this by charging the c300 only via USB-C so the inverter bypass circuit doesn't work. But that'd be terrible, and you could only do so at 140w. - Probably will work for most use cases that are supposed to be under 300w and some above it - unless this product fits your very specific use case, buy a real UPS instead, rate it at twice what you think you need and have a returns policy **Overall** - It's fine, I guess? - Not as useful as I'd hoped for my specific use case as a UPS for what has turned out to be a particularly picky PC. - Good if you're camping and really need mains for something or as a slightly more portable backup to low-powered ... something (the advertising suggests a CPAP machine). - The app is good, and has all kinds of neat options like adjusting standby timers, monitoring battery temperature and so on. - Someone has tools for connecting it to a PC on github. You could probably make it shut a computer down when the battery got low that way. - AC output doesn't autorestore on power attachment though. - Would like to see an option to limit charging to 85% to improve longevity in the UPS role. - Don't think the batteries are user-replaceable either, unlike a "proper" UPS. That sucks. - No security on the thing either, which could potentially be an issue if you live somewhere more crowded. - Runs my wifi router and fiber terminal for 12 hours, which is probably enough for most issues you'll run into. - You probably want the C300 DC and a separate, proper UPS instead. Form factor is nicer (carry handle and detachable cable), though. Plus it's lighter. - Oh, if you have a C300 DC as well you can daisychain them together to get more some 576wh, which is cool for running AC loads for longer. That's fun. I don't have one of those. - Doesn't work for my intended use case, but I'm not going to return it since it's useful for other stuff and I got it very discounted. Overall rating: Between 3 and 4 stars depending on the use case. Test it for whatever you want it for first and make sure wherever you buy it has a returns policy. It's Fine™.

This is a neat, compact, and well-designed portable power station that’s easy to use and easy to carry. I really appreciate that it includes three standard 120-volt AC outlets and a common desktop-style power cord for charging from a wall outlet. It also offers multiple USB ports, making it very versatile for everyday use. I tested it in a couple of real-world scenarios. When powering my laptop, the unit dropped from 100% to 64% after two hours, which suggests it could run the laptop for roughly four hours total. When powering my home network equipment, it only dropped from 100% to 80% after two hours, indicating about ten hours of runtime for lighter loads. Recharging is quick, which makes it convenient to use regularly. The built-in handle makes it easy to carry, and the overall build quality is excellent. It feels solid, well-made, and dependable—exactly what you want from a portable power station. I haven’t experienced any issues during long-term use, and it has performed reliably every time. The companion app is straightforward and works well, allowing you to monitor battery level, charging status, and performance. While it may be more than casual users strictly need, it’s genuinely useful and easy to navigate. Overall, I highly recommend this unit for everyday, casual use such as charging phones, tablets, running small lights, or powering other low-draw devices. If you’re looking for a compact, reliable power station from a trusted brand, this one delivers.

Great little power station for a couple night/short camping trip. Able to power up the paddle board e-pump with 12V car socket and the temperature control small kettle for coffee for convenience. Charging my camera equipment as needed. Size is great for a smaller vehicle, very mobile.

Excelente vendedor, me llego muy bien empacado el producto, y original 100%, vale la pena comprarle a nocnoc

Schnelle Lieferung von Anker, super Kulante Lösung für einen Fehler meinerseits! Danke an Fa.ANKER! Das Gerät ist top verarbeitet, leicht und wertig.(stabiles Plastikgehäuse welches auch mal kleinere Stöße abkann) Der Solix lässt sich mühelos mit Bluetooth verbinden nachdem man sich die App aus dem Netz geladen hat, auch kann man das gute Teil mit dem Homenetz verkoppeln. Sämtliche relevanten Informationen kann man dann auf dem Handy abfragen bzw. einstellen. Mit 300/600 Watt Ausgang reißt man nicht die Wurst vom Brot, kann aber ca. 4h Fernseher betreiben ( ca. 90 watt) bis der Kleine aufgibt.Alles in allem ein tolles Notstrompäckchen ( kein Paket 😉) und bei Stromausfall bestimmt hilfreich (auch wegen der Taschenlampe und SOS Funktion) Ich habe ign z.z. dauerhaft am Stromnetz und lade meine Handys damit auf...klare Kaufempfehlung ‼️

La uso como SAI para mi sistema de alarma/domótica con Home Assistant y tengo conectada a ella una Raspberry Pi 5, un POE que alimenta 2 cámaras y la sirena y también el router + ONT. En caso de que se vaya la luz hace el cambio suficientemente rápido para que la Raspberry no se reinicie y aguanta todo el sistema durante supongo al menos 7 horas. La estación es compacta y se ve bien construida, además de ser estéticamente agradable.
