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

Recently some storms came through and I wanted to make sure I would have some sort of power. The build quality is amazing! A great value for your money. You can do multiple things in the app you can use with the device. It’s convenient to be able to change the brightness from the device or from the app. Charging speed is definitely above average. With this item being lightweight, you can take it anywhere to be your reliable power source.

Great stuff from Anker as usual. The casing is made of quality plastics and gives the impression of being well built. I love the lamp on the front - so handy when camping. The handle on the top and elongated form factor make this power station comfortable to hold. Compared to my Anker power house 400 and bluetti eb3, the c300 carries better. The weight not being distributed so far outside your wrist makes it much more comfortable to handle. This feels like the evolved form of this class of entry level power stations. I really do love the form factor compared to similarly priced/capacity ecoflow and bluetti units.You can charge with USB c or solar, but not both at the same time. Solar input is via xt60. There are plenty of xt60 to MC4 cables on Amazon you can use to pair to a solar panel with MC4 outputs. MC4 is very commonly a feature on portable solar panels.You need to know that this isn't a high power high capacity power station at 288 wh capacity. It's an entry level model that will power phones, laptops, and low power electronics like lamps and fans in a power outage. I use mine to charge my hearing aids while camping among many other things. That said, this is a phenomenal offering in this category. I own ecoflow, bluetti, and Anker power stations of all kinds. I really do prefer Anker's build quality overall, though the others are frequently more wh/$ of storage. If you can grab this on sale for $200 or less, it's a great buy and a great gift!

This thing is lightweight, charges fast and it can charge other things while it's being charged. This is my new pre-trip routine. It holds enough power to charge up all my gear over a 3 day trip and still have power to spare. It even kept my little buddy warm on the cold spring nights at camp, but it did show it's limits. With the heating blanket running a few hours in the evening I would get more like a day and a half to two days out of a charge. But it was easy to find an outlet somewhere and charge it up in about 45 min. So if you're near or have a light load this is perfect but if you have a heavy load and no power you should look at something larger and/or solar charging. For me this is perfect... For now ;-)

I own multiple Anker SOLIX products and this one is a great little addition to the family. By no means as powerful as its bigger counterparts, this is a good box to own nonetheless if you want to relegate a specific smaller charger to phones/computers/tablets or other smaller applications in a mobile way while reserving your bigger batteries for bigger tasks. This is a lightweight unit given its power and it has the same familiar interface as the rest of the SOLIX line. The app integration is smart and easy to use.The only downside to this particular SOLIX product is the advertised strap/sling. Anker has marketed this as something one might sling over their shoulder to go take photos in the Grand Canyon while on a hike or something — I doubt that… sounds horrible given a look at the attachment interface. This would be better off in a backpack if you had to haul it along - but this would be a silly thing to “carry” like that into the field. The shoulder strap does not come standard with the product which is a disappointing at the price point. This strange marketing decision aside, this is another reliable Anker SOLIX product you can trust. I am glad I have it - you just won’t find me hauling into a canyon to charge my camera batteries.

The Anker SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station is a great little backup power source that’s perfect for quick charging on the go. One of the biggest highlights is how fast it charges—it can go from nearly empty to full in a short amount of time, which is super convenient when you’re in a hurry. It’s also very lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry around for camping trips, outdoor work, or emergency backup.That said, the capacity is limited, so you won’t be running power-hungry devices for long. But to be fair, that’s expected for something this small. It’s great for charging phones, small electronics, and even a laptop, but if you need extended power for larger devices, you might want to look at a bigger model.✅ Pros:Fast charging—gets back to full power quicklyExtremely portable and easy to carryGood for phones, laptops, and small devices❌ Cons:Limited capacity—won’t power large appliances for longBest suited for light, short-term useIf you need a compact, fast-charging power station for small devices, this is a great choice. Just know its limits—it’s not meant to power everything, but for its size, it does exactly what it should.
