At a Glance

This comparison targets buyers shopping for a mid-capacity LFP portable power station around the 768 Wh mark. Both the Anker SOLIX C800 Plus and Bluetti AC70 share identical battery capacity, 3,000-cycle longevity, and the same 24-out-of-53 device compatibility score. The key split is in how they deliver and replenish that power.

The C800 Plus edges ahead with 1,200W of running output versus 1,000W on the AC70, giving it more headroom for higher-draw appliances. The AC70 counters with 500W max solar input compared to 300W on the Anker, cutting full solar charge time to roughly 2.7 hours versus 3.7 hours. It also delivers a stronger 2,000W surge versus 1,600W, useful for motor-driven startup loads.

At 22.5 lbs, the AC70 is about 1.5 lbs lighter, a minor but real advantage for camp and travel use.

The Bottom Line

Choose the SOLIX C800 Plus if sustained wattage matters most, such as running a small appliance or powering tools that sit closer to the 1,000W to 1,200W range. Go with the AC70 if fast solar recharging and a higher surge ceiling are priorities, especially for off-grid trips where panel time is limited. With a score of 48.5 versus 46.5, the SOLIX C800 Plus takes the overall win on the strength of its higher continuous output.
