Specs, owner notes and FAQ." canonical: https://vettedten.com/us/tech/portable-power-stations/anker-solix-c800-plus/ language: en-US updated: 2026-11-04 score: 9.2 --- # Anker SOLIX C800 Plus Portable Power Station review > **Our verdict:** The Anker SOLIX C800 Plus Portable Power Station ranks 5th of the 10 portable power stations we compare, with 9.2 out of 10. No. 5 of 10 in our [portable power stations ranking](https://vettedten.com/us/tech/portable-power-stations/) · Updated November 2026 · [How we rank](https://vettedten.com/how-we-rank/) **9.2 out of 10** The Anker SOLIX C800 Plus is a 768 Wh LiFePO4 power station with a 1,200 W inverter and a fast wall recharge. It suits outage backup for a router and laptop, and car or tent camping with a few devices. Why it's here: - 768 Wh LiFePO4 with 1,200 W continuous output and 1,600 W surge - Anker lists a full recharge in about 58 minutes from a wall outlet - 300 W solar input and a 20 ms UPS switchover for outage backup - Rated for 3,000 cycles, with a 5-year warranty Keep in mind: - Around 24 pounds, heavy for a one-hand carry - Same 768 Wh capacity as the cheaper BLUETTI AC70, with less solar input than some rivals - Too small to run a refrigerator for a full day alongside other loads [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5CBDX2P) ## Why the Anker C800 scores 9.2 - How happy owners are: 8th of 10 - How many rated it: 8th of 10 - How new it is: 3rd of 10 ### Level with the EcoFlow RIVER 3 The EcoFlow RIVER 3 and the Anker SOLIX C800 Plus Portable Power Station score the same, so either is a safe pick. The EcoFlow RIVER 3 goes first because it leaves owners a little happier. ## About the Anker C800 The C800 Plus pairs a 768 Wh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with a 1,200 W inverter. Anker rates the battery for 3,000 cycles. Its SurgePad technology lets it run heat-producing devices up to 1,600 W. Anker says it can power up to 10 devices at once. Cult of Mac lists the US model's ports as five 120V AC outlets, a 100 W USB-C port, a 30 W USB-C port, two 12 W USB-A ports and a 120 W 12V car socket. There is no wireless charging, no IP rating and no way to add expansion batteries. The Anker app shows remaining capacity and the power going to each outlet and port, and it controls the fast-charge setting. Anker lists a full wall recharge in about 58 minutes. Solar input tops out at 300 W through an XT60 connector, with a built-in MPPT controller, and Anker says it reaches 80% in about 2.3 hours on solar. A 20 ms UPS mode lets it act as backup for a desktop or router. Three detachable camping lights are stored under the top handle, with three modes. Cult of Mac lists the box as the unit, a user manual, an AC adapter, a car charger, a carry case and the three camping lights. Solar panels are sold separately. ### Key specs - Capacity: 768 Wh LiFePO4 - Continuous output: 1,200 W (up to 1,600 W with SurgePad for heat-producing devices) - Wall recharge: About 58 minutes (Anker's figure) - Solar input: 300 W max, MPPT, XT60 connector - UPS switchover: 20 ms - Battery life: 3,000 cycles - Weight: About 24 lb - Dimensions: 14.6 × 8.1 × 10.0 in - Ports: 5 AC outlets, 100 W and 30 W USB-C, 2 USB-A, 12V car socket - Warranty: 5-year hassle-free warranty (Anker's wording) ## What owners report about the Anker C800 We found little owner feedback for this exact model in the sources we could open, so we report none here. ## Who the Anker C800 suits It fits someone who wants a mid-size LiFePO4 station for outages and camping. A router, laptop, phone charging and lights are well within its range, and a small refrigerator is workable for part of a day. The fast recharge and the 300 W solar input help when you need to top up between loads or on a trip. Look elsewhere if you need a full day of refrigerator runtime alongside other loads, or if you plan to add battery capacity later: this model has no expansion option. At about 24 lb it is a two-hand carry. For more capacity or output, the EcoFlow DELTA 2 or Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 are better fits. For a lighter 1 kWh unit with a handle, look at the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2. ## Questions about the Anker C800 ### How much solar input does the Anker SOLIX C800 Plus accept?

We haven't read the review sites for this guide yet, so for now it is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 17 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
