The Anker SOLIX C300 is a 288Wh portable power station with a 300W (600W surge) pure-sine inverter, designed for camping, van life, and home backup. It features LiFePO4 chemistry rated for 3,000 cycles, delivering solid midrange capacity in a compact 9.1 lb form factor.

Ports & recharge: 3x AC outlets (300W), 1x 12V car socket (120W), 2x USB-C PD (140W each), plus 1x USB-C 15W and 1x USB-A 12W. Wall recharge to 80% in 50 minutes via 140W PD charging; compatible with 100W or 60W Anker solar panels (not smaller 5V panels). Quiet operation at 25dB.

Build & warranty: Compact design (6.3" × 9.5" × 6.5"), carries like a modest power bank. 5-year warranty, designed for decade-long use. Well-suited for weekend camping, CPAP backup, and light RV use—not for heavy sustained loads or extended off-grid stays.

Tradeoff: 288Wh sits in the compact tier; heavier users prefer 500Wh+ stations like EcoFlow or Jackery Explorer 300. Anker's reputation for quality and PD fast-charging offset limited search heat versus flagship models.
