The Anker SOLIX C300 is a 288Wh portable power station with a 300W AC inverter (600W surge) powered by LiFePO4 cells rated for 3000 cycles. It features two AC outlets, USB-C PD fast charging (140W), USB-A ports, and 12V car output. Wall recharge takes ~2 hours; solar input accepts up to 140W. At 6.3 kg (13.9 lbs), it's one of the lightest mid-capacity stations on the market. UPS passthrough allows simultaneous charging and AC output. Best suited for camping, van life, CPAP backup, and light outdoor work—not primary home backup. Anker's solid brand reputation and aggressive pricing make this a strong value entry in the LiFePO4 space, though the modest 288Wh limits runtime on power-hungry devices.
