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!

First off, the marketing of the C300 is ridiculous, parading this 4kg brick around on a shoulder strap is laughable and the lugs for a shoulder strap (AC model) are pointless imho, but the integrated handle is good. Personally I bought this for power outages at home and car based camping trips. Each model has slight advantages over each other but I went for the AC model which is a bit bigger and heavier but I don’t intend to be carrying it far and offers more flexibility. Both have the same capacity but the AC model can be charged slightly quicker (330w vs 280w) with a single mains cable without a power brick. The DC model can be charged almost as fast (80% in 60mins vs 50min) but requires x2 140W chargers and of course you loose ability for pass-through charging while in use. The AC version comes with x1 less USB-C and x1 less USB-A ports but I purchased a Syncwire mini car charger in a matching blue/silver which sits completely flush giving those x2 ports back (45w each), plus the x2 AC outlets of course. My only other gripe is that all but the light button still have an annoying hollow click to them like the previous generation (521 etc). The light button has a nice quiet click, why they didn’t apply this to all the buttons im not sure. If size and weight are really important to you, you only have USB powered devices and you prefer a pop-up 360 light get the DC, otherwise the AC with 600W surge and UPS function might be a better potion.

Good little addition and to the camping equipment with enought sockets and connection ports. Great to be able to see how much charge it still hold but it did drain faster than I expected so probably wouldn't get me through a full weekend away with phones, speaker and Ipads but for the price it does a job. Recharge time however so super quick so if you have somewhere to charge up you'll have that convenience in the middle of the field.

Fantastic bit of kit, I have used it as a UPS when having work done on the electrics and it powered by my setup without any issues

I have updated my review (original below) after Anker got in touch and have responded superbly to rectify the problem. I now have a functioning device that does everything I wanted it to, and which I would absolutely recommend. A few frustrations along the way, but many thanks to Anker for all of their help. Original review: I have never written a negative review in my life, but want to make others aware that this item did not work for me and is not eligible for return. The unit itself powered up, but it didn't power anything I plugged in. Looking at all the positive reviews, I assume this was just a faulty unit. You should just know that you cannot return it, unless you go through some very long-winded steps to prove to a jury beyond reasonable doubt that it's broken beyond repair. Can't see where on this page it says you cannot return it. Otherwise the battery life looks good in reviews and I would have used it as a backup if needed. It's certainly compact and that's good, but unfortunately I couldn't use it.

Small & lightweight. Charges phones very quickly. Does just over 2 x charges of a completely flat laptop. Useful for transferring some power into flat ebike battery. Recharges fast via 230V. (1 hour). You need a 140W, 3A+ fast charging USB cable to charge via USB. (Would take 11 hours though). I’ve not managed to charge via car or campervan. But this is the low level cables in the car/van not the power bank. Not tried solar. As don’t have a panel. I’m very pleased with the power bank. I bought it to recharge my laptop.

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.

Die Anker Solix Powerstation ist unser stetiger Begleiter auf Reisen mit dem Fahrzeug oder dem Wohnmobil. Sie bietet genug Strom, um unsere Geräte über ein Wochenende zu versorgen und lässt sich zügig aufladen. Die Verarbeitung ist wie von Anker gewohnt hervorragend und überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Vorallem die integrierte Taschenlampe empfinde ich als praktisch.

Ore e ore di ricarica, comodo accoppiato ad un pannello fotovoltaico! Unica nota, se usato per ricaricare cellulari non si spegne una volta ricaricato il device e continua a consumare carica

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

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.
