Anker SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station
Portable electronics and light backup loads
Choose the C300 for electronics and light loads when 288Wh, 300W continuous AC output and a 9.1-pound body are enough. The advertised 600W SurgePad mode has device restrictions, and solar input is limited to 100W with specific panel-compatibility requirements.
Listing checked . Confirm the model, included parts and availability before ordering.

Who this compact model suits
This model suits phones, laptops, cameras, lights and other electronics when 288Wh of capacity and 300W of continuous AC output cover the load. Its 9.1-pound weight and eight total ports make it easier to move than a 1 kWh station. The advertised 600W figure is SurgePad mode, not a general continuous-output rating; the manual excludes precision devices and equipment with strict voltage requirements from that mode, and says it does not work while charging with AC output on.
Recharge and solar limits
Anker claims an 80% wall recharge in 50 minutes and lists a 100W maximum solar input. The US guide specifies an XT-60 solar connection and an 11V-to-28V input range. Solar/car input and bidirectional USB-C input cannot be used simultaneously. The product page excludes several larger or low-voltage Anker panels, so confirm the current compatibility list before buying solar equipment.
Backup and included-equipment checks
The maker lists a transfer time under 10 ms, but connected equipment still needs to tolerate that interruption. The box includes the C300, an AC charging cable, safety instructions, warranty card and manual; a carrying strap and some alternate charging accessories are separate purchases.
