Anker SOLIX C800 Portable Power Station 1200W Peak 1600W Solar Generator Full Charge in 58 Min 768Wh LiFePO4

We rarely write reviews this detailed, but the Anker SOLIX C800 Plus Portable Power Station absolutely deserves it. After using it for camping, a weekend RV trip, and even a brief power outage at home, we can confidently say this is one of the best portable power stations on the market. Power & Performance (1200W / 1600W Peak): This unit delivers serious power. It handled our portable fridge, LED lights, phone chargers, and even a small coffee maker without breaking a sweat. The 1600W peak gives you real confidence when running devices that temporarily draw extra wattage. No flickers, no drops — just stable, reliable power. Battery Capacity (768Wh LiFePO4): The LiFePO4 battery is a huge selling point. Not only is it safer and more durable than standard lithium batteries, but the capacity is perfect for multi-day trips. We used it continuously over two nights while camping, and it still had juice to spare. The long cycle life also means this investment is built to last for years. Built-In Camping Lights: A surprisingly useful feature! The lights are bright, energy-efficient, and perfectly positioned. Whether you’re setting up camp after dark or just need ambient lighting around the tent or RV, the built-in illumination eliminates the need for extra lanterns. Outdoor Convenience: Between the compact design, sturdy handle, and quiet operation, it’s clear Anker engineered this for real-world use. It fits easily in the trunk, doesn’t add a lot of weight, and runs almost silently — a huge plus when you’re outdoors and want peace and quiet. Solar Compatibility: We opted for the solar panel setup, and it was a game changer. The recharge speed was surprisingly fast for a unit this size. Even on a partly cloudy day, it steadily gained power. Being able to recharge anywhere without relying on an outlet completely transforms long camping trips. Reliability for Emergencies: During a recent power outage at home, this unit powered essential devices (Wi-Fi, lights, phones, and a fan) without issue. Knowing we have a dependable backup source gives tremendous peace of mind. Build Quality & Safety: Like all Anker products, it feels premium and solid. The LiFePO4 chemistry adds another layer of safety, and the screen gives clear, accurate readings for input/output and remaining runtime. Read more

I don’t write a lot of reviews, but I feel compelled to rate this portable solar generator. I’ve always liked Anker products. I have purchased many of their smaller portable USB chargers in the past. They always work well. Now they have gotten into solar generators. They did a number of things correctly on this box. They used a XT-60 charge input. This is fantastic, as the durability, longevity, and quality of this connector beats many of the “coaxial” connectors hands down. It’s polarized, so it can’t be plugged in backwards. Provides a snug fit that won’t come unplugged with vibration or movement. Has very low connector resistance, even after several hundred make/break cycles. Kudos Anker. Now for the box itself… it performs extremely well. It can output over 1000 watts of pure sine wave without breaking a sweat. The inverter is slightly more efficient than most of the boxes on the market. This means more of your battery power goes into supplying your loads, instead of making heat and causing the fans to run. The charging is also very efficient. The fans don’t even run when charging from 200 watt solar input, or from an external battery. Charging speed is acceptable at 12 volts in, but fantastic at 48 VDC input. It has a durable case, with handles on both sides molded into the case. Easy to carry, and lightweight for the features. 2 USB C PD and 2 USB A outputs make it very friendly for charging multiple devices at one time. The 12 volt output is nice for cigarette lighter products. I use a powered cooler when traveling or camping. The cigarette socket just plugs right in from the cooler. seamless and painless. I also like that when I’m stopped for the night in a hotel with AC, the box can be charged up with just a standard cord (which can be stored in the top of the unit with other charge cords, etc…). Anker did a great job on this portable supply, and in common Anker fashion, the box just works. Read more
