If you’ve ever lost power during a storm, needed to charge your devices at a campsite, or wanted a backup power source that’s clean, quiet, and easy to use, the Anker SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station is a game-changer. I’ve tested dozens of power solutions, and the C300 stands out for its blend of portability, power, and user-friendliness—without the fuss of gas generators or complicated installs.
Compact, Yet Seriously Powerful

Don’t let its size fool you: the SOLIX C300 packs a punch. With a 288Wh LiFePO4 battery and a 300W output (600W surge for those quick power spikes), it can handle everything from charging your phone and laptop to running small appliances like fans or mini-fridges. Whether you’re at home during an outage, on a road trip, or camping off-grid, this station keeps your essentials running.
Charge Up to 8 Devices at Once
One of the best features for families or tech-lovers: eight charging ports! Here’s what you get:
- 3× AC Outlets (300W): Plug in standard devices like lamps, fans, or even a CPAP machine.
- 1× Car Socket (120W): Great for car coolers or inflators.
- 2× USB-C Ports (140W & 15W): Fast-charge your phone, tablet, or even a laptop.
- 1× USB-A (12W): For older devices.
- All at once: No need to fight over outlets or juggle charging schedules.
Travel-Ready and Easy to Carry
At about 15% smaller than similar power stations, the C300 is easy to grab and go. You can carry it by hand or attach a strap (sold separately) for even more portability. It’s perfect for spontaneous getaways, car camping, or just keeping in your trunk for emergencies.
Solar-Powered Freedom (Optional Panel)
Want to go off-grid or stay powered during long outages? Pair the C300 with an Anker 100W or 60W solar panel (sold separately) and recharge using the sun. It’s a sustainable, silent way to keep your devices running without fuel or fumes. (Note: It’s not compatible with some Anker panels like the SOLIX PS30, PS200, or PS400.)
Fast, Flexible Charging Options
No sun? No problem. You can recharge the C300 in several ways:
- Wall Outlet: Get to 80% in just 50 minutes—super fast!
- Solar Panel: Harness the sun for eco-friendly charging.
- Car Outlet: Charge while you drive.
- USB-C PD 3.1: Modern, fast charging for techies.
You’ll never be stuck waiting hours for a recharge.
Built to Last (and Last)
The C300 uses LiFePO4 batteries, which are safer and last much longer than standard lithium-ion batteries—up to 3,000 cycles, or about 10 years of regular use! You also get smart temperature control, impact resistance, and a 5-year warranty for peace of mind.
Whisper-Quiet Operation
Unlike gas generators, the C300 runs at just 25dB (about as loud as a whisper from a few feet away). That means you can sleep, relax, or work without annoying noise—even in the great outdoors.

Customer Promising Reviews: “Controlling the unit I found to be much easier that any power bank I’ve used so far. And this is where Anker shines. The polished esthetic they adhere to also carry over to their app, which is just so much better that any of the other apps I’ve used for other power banks. It connects either via wifi or Bluetooth. It might be controllable over the internet from a remote location but I did not test this. It’s just inferred because the same app can do that for Anker’s home battery banks. I did use Bluetooth though, and it worked very well. The neat thing is the unit wakes on bluetooth connection from the app and it happens quickly. No long delay to connect or having to wake up the unit manually first. I literally was able to check the status of the bank and the solar charging while passing by the campsite roughly 100 feet away from it and I was surprised when it actually connected! it is so light and folds compact enough to fit in a backpack while still performing at this level and this is just awesome. I am very happy with it.” –

“I love that it can charge in the car or at someone’s house. I got this one because I needed AC to charge some power tools on work sites later on. It came in handy with a power outage.” – emento coru
