The Anker SOLIX C300 is a lithium iron phosphate power station, meant to live in a backpack or on a car seat rather than in a corner at home: it has no expansion battery, so the capacity it starts with is the capacity it keeps.
The USB-C port both accepts and delivers power through the same input, so a single cable serves both to recharge the unit and to power a laptop with heavy draw. Connected to the outlet, it switches to battery fast enough that a computer left on doesn't notice the outage. Remaining charge reads on its own screen, without opening the app; the phone stays useful for finer settings, like automatic shutoff.
It stays quiet at arm's length, comfortable to keep running while sleeping in a tent or working in a van. It suits anyone looking for a light reserve for a phone, lights and a laptop during a trip or a shift away from home; anyone looking for a reserve to run a fridge during a power outage at home needs more capacity than this.

Which documents this page rests on
The rest of the data comes from one page on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.
A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.
What it really costs

- price
- 269.990
- nominal capacity

Pros and cons
In favour
- The same USB-C port recharges the unit and powers a demanding laptop, without needing two different cables.
- Connected to the outlet it acts as a safety net: if the power goes out, a connected laptop doesn't shut down.
- It stays quiet at arm's length: it can be kept running close by while sleeping in a tent.
- It shows remaining charge on its own screen, without needing to open the app to check it. source
Worth knowing
- The starting capacity is final: no expansion battery exists for this line.
- Above continuous power it relies on brief peak support, not a full and constant output.
- The automatic shutoff time can only be adjusted from the app, not from the buttons on the unit. source
