Anker SOLIX C300 DC Power Bank Station, Outdoor 288Wh (90,000mAh), Portable Power Station for Multiple Devices, LiFePO4 Battery, 300W Solar Generator, For Camping, Traveling, and Emergencies

Update: Anker contacted me and they did not ask to change the review or make any changes, but rather they tried to resolve the issue. Review was changed from 3 stars to 5 stars. They offered full refund but I refused as I can still use the power bank, they offered to get more details so that they can mitigate future issues and in return I can keep the power bank and get 30% refund. It's rare to see a company trying to work with customer to better themselves and I commend them for it. Origianl review: It works fine, but you can't use all ports. My main issue was with their support. I have many Anker products and they all work well. Had some issues with the powerbank which I couldn't find online so I had to contact their support. They respond very fast, however their responses are like AI hallucinations, for example I mentioned that I tried different cables including the original, their response was try different "adapter" and share the system logs. What adapter? where can you get system logs ? When you ask them for clarification the communication drops. Anyway if anyone get E8 issue do not use the In/Out port, use the Out port online. If you connect a laptop for example to In/Out the laptop will try to charge the powerbank and the powerbank will try to charge the laptop and you will end up with error E8. Same things with different Anker power banks. So you have 2 useless ports here.

Works as expected and delivers.

I bought it to use during camping to power LED camping lights which project more than 9000 lumen, works great. Only downside is the charging cable that comes with it is bad quality.

Amazing design, and works so well. It is lovely to have this inside the house and outside. The light is amazing.

Look no further if you need a power station but are not willing to pay double for a power inverter (electrical socket). Most portable devices and accessories nowadays can be charged via USB-C. What’s good about it: - Size and weight (can fit in your backpack if you don’t mind the 2 kg). - Built in lamp replaces your other tabletop lights and it’s quite bright. - Screen gives you all the information you need (capacity, power output/input, time left) - Huge capacity, I could barely remove 10% from its capacity after powering lights, charging phones/speaker. - Build quality is great What’s not so good about it: - The charger cable it comes with is terrible, you will have to buy a 140W adapter and a cable to match if you want to make the most this device. - It’s only rated for 40 degrees C, must be hidden from the heat and sun otherwise it will overheat (add to that it’s already dark colored) - NOT WATERPROOF because of the ventilation grills (need to buy an insulated case/bag for it) - NOT AIRWORTHY ***** (Not permitted on flights whether in cabin or luggage)

What a great power bank station, it’s seamless and dependable when you are in nowhere

I want to know this is possible to take in the flight?

The anket Solex now it’s not charging from the solar panel

Ich habe die Powerstation mit dem Vorbestellerrabatt für einen Preis von ~169€ + Tragegurt bekommen. Das Preiß-Leistungsverhältnis ist für den Funktionsumfang, Kapazität und Größe wirklich gut. Die Powerstation ist ein gutes Upgrade zur Anker 548. Sie hat eine hohe Kapazität von 90.000mah, 300 Watt Ausgangsleistung, einen 100W Solaranschluss und zusätzlich einen KFZ Anschluss. Die C300DC lädt die Geräte schnell und zuverlässig, hat eine Passtrough-Funktion, und lässt sich selbst sehr zügig aufladen. Hier ein großes ACHTUNG: Die C300DC lässt sich nach meiner Einschätzung nur mit einen Netzteil laden das Power Delivery (PD) unterstützt. Ein einfaches 5V Netzteil reicht nicht aus. Ausgenommen ist das Laden über XT-60 und den KFZ-Anschluss. Kommen wir zur Verarbeitung. Die Powerstation kommt in einer Art Hartplastik, das meinem Empfinden nach eher billig wirkt. Laut Hersteller soll sie aber Stoßfest sein. Wenn dem so ist, habe ich am Hartplastik auch nichts auszusetzen. Abgesehen vom Plastik wirkt die Verarbeitung sehr gut, die Tasten lassen sich hervorragend drücken und reagieren zuverlässig. Zum einschalten der Powerstation muss der Powerbutton ein paar Sekunden gedrückt werden, dies verhindert ein versehentliches Einschalten. Zusätzlich gibt es noch eine App für Updates und für die Zustandsüberwachung. Ob man die App verwendet, ist jeden selbst überlassen, die C300DC funktioniert auch ohne APP. Für den Ladevorgang sind die zwei rechtsliegenden USB-C Anschlüsse vorgesehen, diese sind mit 140W gekennzeichnet. Eine Kennzeichnung mit USB-C IN/OUT wäre hilfreich gewesen. Zumindest wäre das für den ein oder anderen einfacher in der Bedienung. Ich kann die C300DC auf jeden Fall empfehlen, sie ist angesichts der Kapazität sehr handlich und bietet alles was man sich so wünschen kann. Sie ist ein gutes Backup für zuhause, Camping, Festival, oder anderen Outdoor Aktivitäten. Ich würde sie mir jeder Zeit wieder kaufen.

Fit & finish van dit product is zeer solide. Het formaat is compact genoeg om mee te nemen, past goed op een fiets als voeding voor navigatie en extra verlichting. Hang er een zonnepaneeltje aan en dit ding zal nooit 100% leeg zijn. De app is wat karig, de software snapt het concept van Celsius niet (deze optie is 'grayed out' in de instellingen). Verder doet deze powerbank wat het belooft, het is je buffer voor alles wat oplaadbare batterijen heeft, ook zonder stopcontact.

Sto usando da alcune settimane l’Anker SOLIX C300 DC PowerBank (288Wh, 90.000mAh) e devo dire che è diventato il mio alleato fisso sia in casa che all’aria aperta. La batteria agli ioni di litio ferro fosfato (LiFePO4), molto affidabile e duratura (oltre 3.000 cicli), garantisce che la centrale sia sempre pronta all’uso, anche dopo mesi in magazzino. Il peso e le dimensioni sono gestibili: circa 6 kg, dimensioni compatte (circa 16x16x24 cm) e una comoda maniglia per trasportarla ovunque senza fatica. Carica e gestione dei dispositivi La ricarica è rapida: con l’alimentatore da parete arriva all’80% in circa 50 minuti e può essere ricaricata anche via solare (pannello opzionale, fino a 100W) o tramite accendisigari in auto. Il display LCD è ben leggibile e mostra subito quanto resta di carica e quanto viene erogato. L’app Anker (via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi) permette di monitorare tutto da remoto, anche se per la gestione base basta premere i tasti sul pannello frontale, che sono ben fatti e immediati. Le porte di uscita sono numerose: 2 USB-A, 4 USB-C (di cui due ad alta potenza, fino a 140W ciascuno), una presa DC da auto da 100W, ideali per caricare contemporaneamente laptop, smartphone, tablet, action cam, router, piccoli ventilatori USB, lampade LED, droni e dispositivi a batteria compatti ma non apparecchi elettrodomestici di potenza elevata (es. stufette, frigoriferi grandi, aspirapolveri, etc.). La potenza di uscita totale è di 300W, con un picco di 600W, sufficiente per alimentare quasi tutti i dispositivi digitali portatili, compresi alcuni mini frigo o piccoli monitor. Utilizzo pratico Camping, gite, day trip, viaggi in camper, ma anche casa: l’ho usata come backup durante una breve indisponibilità di corrente e mi ha tenuto illuminato (grazie alla lampadina LED integrata molto brillante), in contatto (router, telefono), con musica (altoparlante alimentato dal C300) e laptop attivo per 2-3 giorni senza grossi problemi. Con una carica piena puoi ricaricare un laptop moderno 3-4 volte, uno smartphone 15-20 volte o una combo di questi dispositivi per un week-end fuori porta senza pensieri. Non offre uscite AC di tipo “prese di corrente” (tipo presa “schuko”), solo USB e DC, quindi è pensato solo per apparecchi a batteria e dispositivi compatibili con le uscite presenti. La ricarica “pass-through” funziona bene, anche se la potenza massima distribuita tra tutte le porte non deve essere superata, altrimenti il caricabatterie limita la corrente automaticamente per evitare sovraccarichi. Comfort ed esperienza L’operazione è plug & play: basta collegare il caricabatterie, accendere e attaccare i tuoi device. Il livello di rumore è molto basso (circa 25 dB), quindi anche al massimo carico non disturba in una tenda o in casa. Il materiale è solido e ben assemblato, i connettori tenaci. La garanzia di 3-5 anni (a seconda del paese di acquisto) e il supporto Anker sono ulteriori punti di forza. La ricarica solare non è fornita (va acquistato il pannello separato, Anker 100W consigliato per la massima compatibilità), ma funziona bene per chi ama il campeggio off-grid o vuole ottimizzare l’autonomia sostenibile. Aspetti da migliorare - Nessuna presa AC: non puoi collegare dispositivi che necessitano di corrente alternata classica (es. aspirapolveri, frigoriferi di taglia media, etc.). - Peso: non è “leggero” come una normale power bank, ma la portabilità è comunque molto buona rispetto alla capacità. - App: utile soprattutto per il controllo remoto, ma a volte la connessione può essere un po’ traballante (non blocca però il funzionamento manuale). - Pannello solare non incluso: se prevedi di usare spesso la ricarica solare, dovrai acquistarlo a parte. Vantaggi principali - Capienza e potenza: 288Wh, 300W, batteria LiFePO4, carica ultrarapida. - Versatilità: ricarica da rete, pannello solare, auto. - Silenziosità: perfetta per uso notturno. - Portabilità: compatta, maniglia, ideale per viaggi/escursioni/uso domestico. - Qualità e affidabilità: Anker è una garanzia, costruzione robusta, garanzia lunga. - App di controllo: per chi vuole il massimo del monitoraggio. In sintesi Se cerchi una power station affidabile, comoda da trasportare, con massima flessibilità di ricarica e sicurezza energetica per i tuoi dispositivi digitali, l’Anker SOLIX C300 DC è una scelta eccellente. Non sostituisce un gruppo elettrogeno né alimenta grandi elettrodomestici, ma per tutto ciò che è portatile, ti cambia la vita: ti ridà autonomia e sicurezza senza rinunciare alla qualità e alla facilità d’uso. Io la consiglio a chi fa sport outdoor, viaggia spesso o vuole un backup energetico smart e moderno in casa.

I really like this small 300W unit, it can be charged via solar (Max 27V - 100W) or via two of the usb C ports (dual charging at 140W each port) so if you are in a hurry you can quickly charge it up. Its not overly heavy either and feels very well made. I bought it as its small but can output enough power to charge my camera batteries and drone batteries on the go allowing me to capture more footage while out on location. The built in light is also pretty handy for power cuts or camping, giving you a reasonable bright light source that takes very little power to run. There's an app too, I work in a log cabin photography studio and my editing office is in a brick outbuilding so I can put the unit on charge connected to my solar panels and monitor it via the app in my office. Very handy indeed and its what puts it above another companies similar unit which doesn't have app connectivity for monitoring. Overall I would certainly recommend the device to anyone camping or like me that is in need of a portable high capacity power system for keeping their devices charged.

I bought this for its ability to output ~12v DC out of the automotive socket to run my Electric Fridge Cooler when it's in the car so I don't need to run it off my car battery risking a dead battery. I also got it for camping trips so we can power our phones and because it has a great night light type lamp as a part of it. Because is has LiFePO4 batteries it will last a long time with regular use making the cost very good over the long term. So far it has been handling everything I can throw at it perfectly and no problem at all. It really is a versatile utility battery bank. I also reached out to Anker about a question and some feedback about the WiFi/Bluetooth app that you can control this with and found their customer support to be excellent. They really are eager to please which gives me confidence not only that this is a quality product with great support but that the company will be there for the long term in case I have issues with it in future or other questions. I also REALLY like that you don't have to use the app if you don't want to, and you can use it with just WiFi or just Bluetooth or both as you see fit. This is excellent because I hate being pushed into apps and I hate the privacy concerns apps can bring. Not with this company and its products. I really can't say enough good things about it. Everyone should have one, even if it's just so you have some back-up power in the event of a power failure so you can charge your cell-phones, USB rechargeable flash lights, and to use this as a lantern until the power is restored... Also because of the great experience I had with this product I'm considering buying their much bigger battery banks that can power parts of my house, keep my fridge/freezers running and power my furnace in the even of a power outage. Anyway, get one of these if you have a use for it. It's fantastic!
