Anker Portable Power Stations

Anker SOLIX is the portable power station line from Anker Innovations. Anker entered this category later than EcoFlow, Bluetti, and Jackery, but they brought a strong hardware track record from the broader consumer electronics market.

In plain buyer terms, Anker is the “balanced” option in many scenarios. You usually do not get the fastest charge speed in every class or the widest model count, but you get solid inverter output, clean industrial design, and a straightforward ownership experience from a large company with established retail and support channels.

This page focuses on what matters in our database: the models we currently test, where they perform well, and where they are not the right fit.

What Anker SOLIX Does Well

Strong Output at Mid and High Tiers

In our tested set, Anker covers a wide practical range:

• SOLIX C300: 300W continuous, 288Wh
• SOLIX C800 Plus: 1200W continuous, 768Wh
• SOLIX C1000: 1800W continuous, 1056Wh
• Solix F3800: 6000W continuous, 3840Wh, native 120V/240V

That span gives Anker usable options from light electronics backup to serious appliance and home-load coverage.

Clean 240V Path with F3800

The F3800 is the key differentiator in this lineup because it supports native 120V/240V output. In GeneratorChecker’s compatibility engine, that immediately unlocks classes of devices most 120V-only stations fail on at the voltage gate.

If your target loads include well pumps, central HVAC with proper startup mitigation, or other 240V equipment, the F3800 sits in a different league than compact 120V units.

LFP Chemistry Across Tested Models

All Anker models currently in our database use LiFePO4 chemistry. For frequent-use owners, this is the right baseline because it generally improves cycle-life expectations and thermal stability versus older NMC-first portable designs.

Competitive Solar Input on Larger Models

Solar headroom scales meaningfully across the line in this dataset:

• C300: 100W solar input
• C800 Plus: 300W
• C1000: 600W
• F3800: 2400W total (dual 1200W inputs)

That makes the C-series practical for partial daytime recovery, while the F3800 can support much more aggressive recharge plans.

Where Anker SOLIX Falls Short

Smaller Catalog than EcoFlow or Bluetti

Anker’s tested lineup here is leaner than the broader catalogs from EcoFlow and Bluetti. Fewer SKUs can be a plus for simplicity, but it also means fewer exact “in-between” options for shoppers who want a very specific capacity or price point.

Less Cross-Tier Battery Portability

Expansion exists in this lineup (C1000 and F3800 are expandable), but ecosystem migration is still more constrained than buyers often expect across very different product tiers. Plan your long-term capacity path before committing to one branch.

240V Is Concentrated in One Model

If you need split-phase output, your Anker path in this tested set is effectively the F3800. The C-series remains 120V-oriented, which is correct for most portable use cases but not enough for hard 240V appliance classes.

Anker Models in Our Tested Database (February 2026)

Model	Capacity	Continuous Output	Peak Surge	Voltage	Solar Input	Expandable
SOLIX C300	288 Wh	300W	300W	120V	100W	No
SOLIX C800 Plus	768 Wh	1200W	1600W	120V	300W	No
SOLIX C1000	1056 Wh	1800W	2400W	120V	600W	Yes
Anker SOLIX F3800	3840 Wh	6000W	9000W	120V/240V	2400W	Yes

Quick read from the dataset:

• Capacity range: 288 Wh to 3840 Wh
• Continuous output range: 300W to 6000W
• Chemistry: 100% LFP in tested Anker models
• 240V support in tested set: F3800 only

Who Anker SOLIX Is For

Anker is a strong choice if:

• You want reliable all-around specs without over-optimizing for one metric.
• You need a clean path from small backup (C-series) to high-output 240V capability (F3800).
• You value mainstream retail availability and recognizable brand support.
• You want LFP chemistry as a default across your shortlist.

Look elsewhere first if:

• You need very fine-grained model choices across many intermediate capacity tiers.
• You are optimizing purely for lowest cost per watt-hour at every tier.
• You need a broader expansion ecosystem that spans more legacy and adjacent lines.

How We Evaluate Anker at GeneratorChecker

Every Anker model is tested with the same True Surge protocol we apply across all brands. We validate compatibility with continuous output, surge capacity, battery runtime math, and voltage requirements. For 240V-required loads, voltage gating is enforced first.

In other words: the F3800 earns its 240V advantage through actual voltage capability checks, not marketing mode names.
