At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers shopping for a high-capacity LFP power station that can handle whole-home backup or heavy-load job sites. The Anker SOLIX F3800 delivers 6,000W of running power and 9,000W surge, which is why it powered 52 out of 53 devices in our compatibility testing versus 43 for the Zendure SuperBase V4600.
That gap matters if you plan to run multiple large appliances simultaneously. The F3800 also accepts up to 2,400W of solar input, cutting estimated full-charge time to roughly 13.7 hours compared to 16.5 hours for the V4600 at its 1,500W max.
On the flip side, Zendure brings a larger 4,608 Wh battery, shaves about 11 pounds off the weight, and includes a 1ms UPS transfer, a feature the Anker unit lacks entirely. Both use LFP cells rated for 3,000 cycles, so longevity is a wash.
