Anker SOLIX C200 DC Power Bank Station 192Wh Portable Power Station LiFePO4 Battery 200W Solar Generator for Outdoor

This power bank works super good! It charged my phone and iPad very fast and still had a lot of charge left! It was smaller than I expected but this thing is still has a lot of power! It’s pretty light weight and easy to move around. Very easy to use just turn it on and plug in your devices and it starts charging. There is an app to download when you can track the wattage going in and out of the device which is pretty cool. Overall though I would definitely recommend this product it is really worth the price! 🤩 Read more

I bough this power station after days of research. We are doing a large trip this year across North West US and recently bought an iceless 12 dual zone fridge. While i wont have a lot of time that we wont have power available for cooler, at trail heads and when parked for hikes, i decided i needed to get one of these to keep running. I got this one when it was on sale for $179 and it was so worth it at that price. Even the normal price prob worth it for heavy overlanders/off grid people. The thing is well made, looks clean, very easy to use, and looks solid and durable. I've done some testing with the cooler and this thing is able to run the cooler for 13 hours on Fridge/Freezer max mode, and then on eco mode, it'll run for 23 hours and 40 minutes. I like that you can charge it via dual 140w usbc ports and solar (have not tested solar). I plugged a 100w charger and also just for fun, i plugged in a standard USB phone charger and it combined for about 110w charging. This allows passthrough as well so you can charge and use same time. The top light feature is pretty useful as well. It is able to angle the top as you are raising it, to direct the light away from your eyes. It has 3 levels of brightness and is pretty good. The material is diffused, so even at peak brightness, it wont really blind you. The App was really easy to set up and connect. It allows you to see how many watts are being used, charged, what ports are connected, and how long it will take to drain or charge. The main drawback of the App that is a huge miss, that i hope comes as an update, would be a graph that is viewable to show power stats. Over all, i highly recommend this product at the sale price, and probably even at the regular price. Read more

There are so many that just purchase without reading - Anker does not hide the fact that it does not come with 'accessories' - I prefer this, helps to keep the cost down (hopefully) reduces waste, and I already have so many of all the cables I need for this for all manners of charging/discharging. Sure, you might need to spend some more money to buy the necessary cables - say $50 for cables and a charger. Well, if Anker includes it for you, I guarantee the price would be more than the $50 over what you paid. Buy as needed. The Li-ion-32 marking on the bottom is a Japanese Recycling indicator. LiFePo4 is still part of the Li-Ion family. 3 = Iron, 2 = phosphore. Anker even has a Solix Support page indicating as such. The cells are LiFePo4 as marketed. Seems this was enough of an issue that Anker redesigned the label as mine states LiFePo4 and no mention of Li-Ion-32. I have not tested the capacity yet, just the initial charge. I received the battery at 30% charge according to the screen, and it consumed roughly 118Wh to charge, so I'll be sure to update this review as time goes on as I will run multiple battery tests on the unit. There will be a loss due to voltage conversion from the 19.2V cells down to 12V DC, and I will account for this. The build quality is excellent, just about as premium as you could get with plastic. The heft is of course due to the cells, but it does feel solid yet lightweight enough to carry. The buttons are very tactile, and the connectors do not feel cheap. The carry strap is a nice quality and I have no complaints there either. The light is very bright, and very white (cool white, I do prefer a warm light) and I like how I can have different light patterns from it. I do wish the 12v socket cover had a tether, I know I'm going to lose it, but it's great that the socket has a separate on/off button. The Bluetooth/wifi feature seems nice. I haven't and won't use the wifi aspect, but Bluetooth updated the unit just fine and controlled the features without problem from my iOS device. I do wish the power station had some security for the Bluetooth aspect to prevent others' from connecting if it happens to be on. Having high-power USB-C out is a big win for me as my laptop can consume it all and then some. A feature I'm glad to see is supported like a standard Solar Charge Controller, DC power-in (solar or DC power-in) and power out to my usb-c laptop, starlink mini, and 12v cooler, all working simultaneously, like how a UPS would work. The power drawn with all 3 devices running was greater than input capacity (100w in) so the battery did continue to drain, just much slower. When I reduced the load the battery did charge with the remaining available power that the starlink and cooler did not consume; fluctuating between 25w and 90w, meaning avaible power to charge the solix was between 75w and 10w. I will state that the marketing of 90,000mAh is so misleading and the standard should be just simply providing a Wh rating - if you consider each cell at 3.2v in this power station, then sure, 90,000mAh is feasible; however, the configuration of the battery cells makes this closer to 15,000mAh (as labeled). Given the rating is 19.2v, it's certainly at least 6S (6 cells in series), which means the capacity (mAh listed) does not increase with cells in series. Without taking it apart yet, my guess is 6S6P 3.2v LiFePo4 rated at 2500mAh cells. I don't plan to disassemble this for a while as I do not want to have any pushback if I need to make a warranty claim. With time I will update the post with performance details and disassembly if/when that happens. I paid $150 in Aug '25, and for $150, it's a great value with the features it has. I do recommend this for anyone looking for a lot of portable power for larger devices, compromising portability and capacity. It's a good balance for my needs. Read more

If you’re expecting to camp overnight and run a TV or whatever, that’s not going to happen. Keep in mind this unit is beyond excellent for keeping the phones charged and gaming systems running on a long trip or if the power goes out overnight. otherwise it’s exactly what I needed. The car charger works. Excellent if you have the cord I’m using a 65 W wall charger at home and it takes about three hours to charge from 50%. I’m assuming if you actually use a 140 W charger, it will be much quicker . I have used this unit every day as a delivery driver to keep my phone and tablet running and so far I’ve never gotten below 75% keep in mind. This is over an eight hour shift with the phone plugged in constantly. To answer the question yes I would buy it again. Yes I would give it to my mother to keep her stop running and trust it to last. Lol all I can really say is it is what it is and does the job it was made for. Read more

The first unit I received was DOA. After a brief struggle with Anker support I was issued a replacement which so far is working perfectly. This unit fits my need of being able to recharge via roof mounted solar when I am in my vehicle with the engine off. It will run a small fan pretty much indefinitely while also keeping my laptop and phone charged. Nifty little unit! Read more

I use mine to power starlink mini. Works just fine for that purpose. Battery life is quite good. The unit doesn't get very hot. The controls are simple. It is pretty heavy but that's expected considering the number of batteries. The led light is a nice feature. Read more
