Anker SOLIX C300 review: what the specs say
Nine outputs and a 63-minute recharge in a 9lb box. At $298.99, Anker's 2024 model sits among the cheapest we cover — the portable Power Stations we compare run from $249 to $4,799. It scores 5.5/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Portability at 9.0/10 — weight and handling relative to capacity. The weakest is Expandability at 1.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: 288Wh and 300W keep it in the phones-laptops-CPAP bracket, not appliances; and 100W solar input. Every specification on this page comes from Anker's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
