SOLIX C800 Portable Power Station, 1200W (Peak 1600W) Solar Generator, Full Charge in 58 Min, 768Wh LiFePO4 Battery for Outdoor Camping, RVs, Road Trip, and Power Outages (Optional Solar Panel)

I've only had this C800 for a few weeks. So far it has been working very well. It seems sturdy as a brick, so I expect it will survive being hauled around. Good power and charge life. It is a little confusing to use the USB ports and the documentation and online help is poor. For reference, the unit times-out after a period of non-use - that's documented. What isn't documented is that the USB ports only turn on when you plug a CABLE into the C800. If you unplug your phone from the far end of the cable but leave the cable plugged-in to the C800 it will time-out but it will NOT turn back on when you plug your phone in. You have to remove the USB cable from the C800. When you plug the cable back into the C800 USB port it recognizes it and the unit turns on. Two key requirements this unit delivers on: 1) It can be charged by a portable solar panel. 2) It will work in power-fail mode. When plugged into AC (and devices are plugged into it) it will quickly change from feed-through mode to operating off the battery. Would buy again.

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.

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.

After viewing the c800 on YouTube I immediately ordered it. It is way better in person, lol. The c800 includes a telescoping pole to attach two hand help flashlights included with the solar generator. The two flashlights charge inside the top portion of the generator. The flashlights have 3 modes and have a dimming control by pressing and holding down on the power button. Very cool feature. The c800 generator also includes a forward facing strip light with 3 modes and an SOS feature. Solid build, good size, works great. Highly recommend.

Bought for off grid Cpap use, only used 41" of battery for8 hours. Perfect, with solar oanrl for charging

車中泊とキャンプで使っています。100%まで充電が早いし、アプリも分かりやすく頼もしい相棒です。夏は扇風機、冬は電気毛布、家で使っているドライヤーも使えますし。 ライトも暗がりでパッと何か見たい時なども役に立ちます、蓋の中に収納スペースもあるのでコードは上手くそこに入れてます。

esta todo bien solo que tienen que mejorar y ponerle placas solares en vez de comprar un producto con enchufe y ponerle una placa solar . a la hora de cargar con el sol , es mejor tener una placa incorporada antes que ponerle un enchufe con placa solar.

The quality is simply super. It works quietly and not noticeable. A convenient application through which you can remotely control and control a station. Very pleased!
