AnkerSOLIX C300 Portable Power Station, Outdoor 288Wh LiFePO4 Battery, 300W (600W Surge) Solar Generator, 140W Two-Way Fast Charging, For Camping, Traveling, and EmergenciesClimatePartner certified

First off, the marketing of the C300 is ridiculous, parading this 4kg brick around on a shoulder strap is laughable and the lugs for a shoulder strap (AC model) are pointless imho, but the integrated handle is good. Personally I bought this for power outages at home and car based camping trips. Each model has slight advantages over each other but I went for the AC model which is a bit bigger and heavier but I don’t intend to be carrying it far and offers more flexibility. Both have the same capacity but the AC model can be charged slightly quicker (330w vs 280w) with a single mains cable without a power brick. The DC model can be charged almost as fast (80% in 60mins vs 50min) but requires x2 140W chargers and of course you loose ability for pass-through charging while in use. The AC version comes with x1 less USB-C and x1 less USB-A ports but I purchased a Syncwire mini car charger in a matching blue/silver which sits completely flush giving those x2 ports back (45w each), plus the x2 AC outlets of course. My only other gripe is that all but the light button still have an annoying hollow click to them like the previous generation (521 etc). The light button has a nice quiet click, why they didn’t apply this to all the buttons im not sure. If size and weight are really important to you, you only have USB powered devices and you prefer a pop-up 360 light get the DC, otherwise the AC with 600W surge and UPS function might be a better potion.

Small & lightweight. Charges phones very quickly. Does just over 2 x charges of a completely flat laptop. Useful for transferring some power into flat ebike battery.Recharges fast via 230V. (1 hour). You need a 140W, 3A+ fast charging USB cable to charge via USB. (Would take 11 hours though). I’ve not managed to charge via car or campervan. But this is the low level cables in the car/van not the power bank. Not tried solar. As don’t have a panel.I’m very pleased with the power bank. I bought it to recharge my laptop.

Good little addition and to the camping equipment with enought sockets and connection ports. Great to be able to see how much charge it still hold but it did drain faster than I expected so probably wouldn't get me through a full weekend away with phones, speaker and Ipads but for the price it does a job. Recharge time however so super quick so if you have somewhere to charge up you'll have that convenience in the middle of the field.

An impressive package, well made with multiple power options, at a reasonable price.

I use it everyday, when I go to the forest and out and about rlly portable and just amazing!! Anker has definitely earned there rating as best charging brand in world!!

I have updated my review (original below) after Anker got in touch and have responded superbly to rectify the problem. I now have a functioning device that does everything I wanted it to, and which I would absolutely recommend. A few frustrations along the way, but many thanks to Anker for all of their help.Original review:I have never written a negative review in my life, but want to make others aware that this item did not work for me and is not eligible for return. The unit itself powered up, but it didn't power anything I plugged in.Looking at all the positive reviews, I assume this was just a faulty unit. You should just know that you cannot return it, unless you go through some very long-winded steps to prove to a jury beyond reasonable doubt that it's broken beyond repair. Can't see where on this page it says you cannot return it.Otherwise the battery life looks good in reviews and I would have used it as a backup if needed. It's certainly compact and that's good, but unfortunately I couldn't use it.

Very happy with the Anker c300 Solix. Charges up pretty fast from both Solar and mains.Been using it to power my desktop aircon and large monitor recently.
