Anker SOLIX C800 Plus Portable Power Station, 1200W (Peak 1600W) Solar Generator with Camping Lights, 768Wh LiFePO4 Battery for Outdoor Camping, RVs, Road Trip, Power Outages (Optional Solar Panel)

This SOLIX C800 is a welcomed addition to Anker’s distinguished line of products in this category. The box is heavy (dense), but manageable for an adult or larger child. The number of connectivity options this particular SOLIX box comes with is compelling and diverse. The ability to plug this into a solar panel (sold separately) or other solar system is a key feature that makes this SOLIX product stand out - although this functionality appears to be more and more common. This product comes with the cables to do so. The portable battery bank market seems to move fast and things are “dated” rapidly. Nonetheless, this 1200W box holds its own in the line up. The app integration is well done and it is nice to be able to manage the box from the app, although that is entirely optional and by no means a necessary feature for this box to perform. The visualizations indicating the power remaining and other statuses are easy to understand and simple. The usability of this box is overall very good and the handles are well placed for portability.Perhaps the most innovative feature of this box is the lid. It opens up and contains handheld flashlights that can be attached via a magnet to a telescoping pole. This is perhaps useful outdoors, but is very useful indoors to fill a dark space. The display (or the app) smartly displays the remaining time at current power draws to the user. Make note, you will hear this box as it runs on intense tasks (ie: powering a coffee maker in the kitchen as opposed to charging your cell phone).This is a great box at a great price. As long as one doesn’t expect this to power their house or something, it is respectable for short term power outages or mobile applications (overlanding etc.) without breaking the bank. I own multiple Anker SOLIX products. This is probably my favorite.

I’ve been using this item now for about a year both as as a camping resource and on my boat. It is absolutely the best thing I’ve ever bought. I love the lights that it comes with and the way you can control and see it status on your phone. It charges quickly and has enough power to run things through the night.

Really impressed with purchase. Great features and easy to use. The integrated flashlights are amazing and well thought-out. The app is helpful and I look forward to getting a solar panel to charge with next.

Great design and working. My electricity was off and the extended flashlights were very helpful in moving the portable battery from room to room. I used it on my refrigerator, phones, laptop and lighting. It charged from my Tesla and quickly from 120 V power.Very pleased with the product

This thing is awesome! I picked this up when my energy company offered a rebate on solar batteries. I like all the flashlight features. The battery seems to last quite a while. It was perfect for taking out to test an electronic purchase off of Facebook marketplace when meeting in a public park (no wall outlets).

Unit comes very well packaged. Includes ac charge cord, 12v dc to xt60 charge cable, and 2x xt60 to xt60 solar charge cable. Manual with qr code for warranty also included.Arrived charged at 88%, downloaded the app while waiting, and after an initial charge to 100% I plugged it in for my first test.Ran a 53 qt BougeRV cooler in eco mode set at 28 degrees for 24 hrs. (House is kept at 71.)Additionally ran both flashlights in candle mode on max brightness for 2 hrs until flashlights showed 3/4 charge lights remaining. Their warm light is perfect. Placed those back in their storage/charge spots to recharge.Between cooler and recharging the lights the c800 still showed 59% remaining battery. Better than I had hoped. Should be very workable for off grid camping.I then took it outside to a very overcast Michigan day (March 20th 3pm) and plugged in a single Elecaenta 120w solar panel. Immediately had 60 watts of charging. Not ideal conditions for charging but can at least confirm the panel works with the c800 pluss.Plugged in a Sangean HD digital table top radio to AC outlet. Very slight noise when on aux mode with nothing playing but no noticeable noise when playing music. No interference on FM or AM. Too low wattage to show usage on screen/app.Plugged in a hair dryer to test AC inverter capacity and AC usage data. On high cool unit showed dryer pulling 220 watts. On high warm unit showed 1220 watts and stayed running. On high hot unit showed 1642 watts and ran for about 10 seconds before unit shut off. This was the only time I heard the C800 cooling fans. Unit turned back on with press of button and showed an overload warning on screen. Fans quickly shut off or went below audible level. Unit continued to work without issue while under 1600 watts.Will update as I have more time to use this great looking device.

Good Power Station. It runs my CPAP on 12 volts, where the Bluetti wouldn't. I liked the Bluetti very much otherwise but wanted the 12 volt power to run my Philips CPAP for longer between recharging the power station. On 12 volts out will run many nights longer than the 120 volts out.

Another superior product by Anker. All of my anker equipment from charging blocks, cables, surge protectors and cables have all been great. The c800 plus was just another addition to my camping/outdoors adventures. The flashlights are bright and are charged from the unit itself. The front light has 3 brightness settings from low, medium and high. The unit speaks for itself on what it can do or what features it has. Remember to download the app to change settings like how fast you can charge the unit. Haven't had it long enough to give it a real world torture test but I'm sure it'll hold up just fine.
