The Anker SOLIX F3800 is a battery storage unit that's portable mostly by way of its wheels: sixty kilos meant to stay at home, near the electrical panel, and to grow up to seven times its starting capacity with batteries from its series.
Continuous power is that of a home system, not a camping power station: it handles multiple heat-producing appliances together, and the peak margin covers a motor starting up. Connected to the outlet it acts as a reserve, and when the grid fails, the battery takes over before connected appliances shut off. It charges from the grid or from the sun, with two inputs that accept a real installation, not a backpack panel.
Controls are on the front panel, and the app is for checking consumption remotely. It doesn't replace a transfer switch panel, though: emergency power reaches the appliances plugged into its outlets, not the whole house, and that's the difference between a large reserve and a system.

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
How we worked it out
- price

- on nominal capacity: the manufacturer does not state the usable figure, so the real cost is higher

Pros and cons
In favour
- It grows up to seven times its starting capacity by adding batteries from its series.
- When the grid fails, the battery takes over before connected appliances shut off.
- Continuous power handles multiple heat-producing appliances together, and the peak margin covers a motor starting up.
- With panels in full sun it recovers most of its charge in an hour and a half.
Worth knowing
- Sixty kilos on wheels: it moves from room to room, it doesn't get loaded into a car. source
- Capacity beyond the starting amount is bought separately, one battery at a time.
- Emergency power reaches only the appliances plugged into its outlets: for the whole house a transfer switch panel is needed, installed separately.
