The Anker SOLIX C300X is a lithium iron phosphate power station with a built-in inverter: alongside its DC outputs it adds two AC outlets, so plug-in devices find a place too. It charges from the sun, from the car or from a home outlet, and the central USB-C port works both ways, as input and output.
The outlets hold a margin beyond continuous power, which is what appliances need when they draw more at startup than they do afterward. Not every portable panel works with it, though: ones with a five-volt USB-C output don't connect, and a panel with the right connector is needed.
It carries over the shoulder with the included strap or slips into a backpack: it's for anyone who goes camping, fishing or shooting photos and wants to be able to power a small plug-in appliance too, not for anyone looking for a home reserve for power outages.

Which documents this page rests on
The rest of the data comes from 5 pages 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
How we worked it out
- price
- 279.990
- nominal capacity
- 0.288
- the manufacturer does not state the guaranteed total energy throughput, which for heavy users is often the limit that runs out first
How we worked it out
- stated cycles

- warranty years

- the manufacturer does not state the guaranteed total energy throughput, which for heavy users is often the limit that runs out first
- on nominal capacity: the manufacturer does not state the usable figure, so the real cost is higher
- without conversion losses, which the manufacturer does not state: the real cost is higher

These numbers are calculated, not stated: they have no source to cite, they have a formula you can redo. The price used is the manufacturer's list price, which is stable and the same in every country — not a shop's price on the day.
Pros and cons
In favour
- Two AC outlets: it powers plug-in devices too, not just low-voltage electronics.
- From a home outlet it's back to eighty percent in fifty minutes.
- The central USB-C port exchanges energy both ways, up to a hundred and forty watts.
- Coverage doesn't depend on registering the product: it applies in full from the day of purchase.
Worth knowing
- It doesn't work with panels that output five-volt USB-C: a panel with the right connector and voltage is needed. source
- Using the small USB-C port and the USB-A port together stays within twenty watts total: small devices charge more slowly. source
- The car cable and the solar panel cable are sold separately. source
