The Anker SOLIX C300 generator packs a considerable amount of energy into its small frame. During a power outage, the C300 can handle charging many essential devices like cell phones or laptops. Run LED lights or even a small refrigerator to keep food from spoiling. It's also ideal for long road trips or off the grid campgrounds.

Advantages of this Product:

High Capacity & Power Output

Portability

At just over 9 lbs. and just shy of 10" tall, the C300 is one of the most compact, lightweight generators on the market. This creates a high level of convenience not found with larger, more cumbersome units.

Multiple Ways to Charge

Charge the Solix C300 utilizing compatible solar panels up to 100W. Per manufacturer, use panels that output between 11 to 28 volts to avoid generator damage. Power up via AC power input to 80% in as little as 50 minutes. You can also fast charge with dual purpose USB C-Ports designed for both input and output functionality. Additional versatility is available by way of the Solix C300 Car Socket utilizing a charging cable.

Durable Construction

The Anker SOLIX C300 generator utilizes industrial-grade components, as well as advanced circuitry and cooling. This provides increased performance and extended lifespan. Anker solar panels are constructed from flexible Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) materials, known for their rugged durability. These scratch and weather resistance panels are ideal for outdoor use.

Disadvantages of this Product:

Limited Solar Panel Compatibility

Solar panel usage is limited to the company's 60W or 100W models and is not compatible with other Anker solar panels.

Limited Run Time for High Energy Using Appliances

Surge feature reduces amps while increasing volts to generate brief periods of power increase. However, even with Surge charging engaged, usage of higher energy draining appliances is limited.
