Anker SOLIX vs BLUETTI
Two of the biggest names in portable power stations, compared in five matched pairs from 288 Wh to about 3.8 kWh using only figures the makers publish.
- 5 matched pairs
- Maker data only
- Checked 12 Nov 2026
- We matched five Anker SOLIX and BLUETTI portable power stations by capacity, from 288 Wh to about 3.8 kWh, and compared them using only figures the makers publish.
- In the 21 rows where a higher or lower number is clearly better or exactly level, Anker SOLIX leads in 6 and BLUETTI in 7; 8 are level.
- BLUETTI is stronger at the small end (the Elite 30 V2 quotes more output, charging power and solar input than the C300), on solar input in the 1 and 2 kWh pairs and on cycle rating at 2 kWh. Anker SOLIX is stronger on output and charging power at 1 kWh, on weight and switchover time at 2 kWh, and on output and solar input in the largest pair.
- Anker's pages leave more figures out: 10 cells on its side read 'not stated' against 8 on BLUETTI's.
- We have not tested any of these products. Where a maker does not publish a figure, we say so instead of guessing.
Not tested by us, and no prices
Every figure on this page comes from Anker SOLIX's and BLUETTI's own product pages and manuals, last checked on 12 November 2026. We have not tested these products, so we do not score them or crown a winner on feel, noise in daily use or app quality. We show no prices because they change often and differ between sellers: compare the same model and bundle before you buy.
The short answer
There is no overall winner. Across our five pairs, Anker SOLIX leads in 6 of the 21 clear-cut rows and BLUETTI in 7, with 8 level. The split says more about which numbers each maker publishes and which model sits in each pair than about which brand is better.
At 288 Wh the BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 quotes 600 W of continuous output against 300 W for the Anker SOLIX C300, plus more surge, mains charging power and solar input. At 1,024 Wh the Anker C1000 Gen 2 quotes 2,000 W against 1,800 W and 1,600 W of mains charging against 1,200 W, while the BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 takes 1,000 W of solar against 600 W. At about 2 kWh the Anker C2000 Gen 2 is lighter (18.9 kg against 24.2 kg), and the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 quotes 6,000 or more cycles against 4,000. At the top, the Anker F3800 quotes 6,000 W against 2,600 W for the Elite 400, but Anker's page gives no surge, charging, weight or noise figure for it.
Do not read the row count as a score. Fast charging matters if you top up between uses and not at all if you charge overnight. Use the pair tables below for the size you need, then check Which should you choose? for the situations where each fits better.
How we matched the models
We paired products by capacity, because that is how people shop: they pick a size, then compare brands. Each pair is the closest match in our catalogue, not a statement that the two products are the same price or the same age. The first three pairs are within 2% of each other (288 Wh against 288 Wh, 1,024 Wh against 1,024 Wh, 2,048 Wh against 2,073.6 Wh), and the fifth is exact at 3,840 Wh. The fourth is looser: the Anker F3000 holds 3,072 Wh and the BLUETTI Apex 300 holds 2,764.8 Wh, about a tenth less. We left out the BLUETTI AC300, which is an inverter module with no battery of its own, and the Anker S2000 and C300 DC, which have no like-for-like BLUETTI partner in our catalogue.

Anker SOLIX C300 vs BLUETTI Elite 30 V2
Both hold 288 Wh of LFP, enough for phones, laptops and a few hours of light use. This is the closest capacity match in the comparison, and the two differ mostly on how much power they deliver and accept.
The small pair (288 Wh)
| Specification |  Anker SOLIX C300 |  BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 288 Wh | 288 Wh |

| Expansion | No: Anker lists no expansion battery | Not supported; a B80 can charge it in Power Bank Mode |
| Warranty | 5 years | 5 years |
Green cells mark the clearly better value where a higher or lower number is better. Capacity is never marked, because more is not automatically better. Level rows and rows without a clear direction are not marked. Differences smaller than about a tenth are not marked.
Our read
The Elite 30 V2 is clearly the more powerful of the two on paper: twice the continuous output (600 W against 300 W), 1,500 W against 600 W of surge, 980 W against 330 W of mains charging and twice the solar input (200 W against 100 W). Both state 5 years of warranty and the same switchover time (10 ms or less). Weight is within 5% and not marked, and the noise figures use different conditions, so we do not rank them. BLUETTI publishes a cycle life (3,000+ cycles to 80%) that Anker does not. Note that several Anker figures here (charging power, weight, switchover) come from its US pages and comparison table, which describe the 120 V model.

Our read
Anker's C1000 Gen 2 quotes more continuous output (2,000 W against 1,800 W) and more mains charging power (1,600 W with UltraFast on, against 1,200 W), plus a surge rating that BLUETTI's UK page does not give. BLUETTI's Elite 100 V2 takes more solar input (1,000 W against 600 W) and quotes 2,700 W of 'Lifting Power', which BLUETTI does not define as a surge rating. The recharge times are not like-for-like: Anker's 49 minutes is to 100% with UltraFast on and works well only above 20 °C, while BLUETTI's 45 minutes is to 80%. Weight (within 2%), switchover time (both 10 ms) and cycle rating (4,000 against over 4,000, with different end points) are close, and warranty is stated for only one of the two.

Our read
The two are level on mains charging power (2,300 W). The Anker is clearly lighter (18.9 kg against 24.2 kg) and quotes the faster switchover (10 ms against 15 ms). BLUETTI quotes more solar input (1,000 W against 800 W) and a higher cycle rating (6,000+ against 4,000 cycles), and states 5 years of warranty where Anker's page states none. Continuous output is within 8% (2,400 W against 2,600 W) and not marked. The Anker can be expanded to 4 kWh in total, while BLUETTI says the Elite 200 V2 cannot be expanded. The recharge times use different end points and the noise figures different conditions, so neither is ranked.

Our read
The two are level where both give a figure that can be compared: 2,400 W of solar input (the Apex 300 as two 1,200 W inputs) and a 20 ms UPS switchover. Continuous output (3,600 W against 3,840 W) and weight (41.5 kg against about 38 kg) are within a tenth and not marked. Mains charging is the one place the figures are not like-for-like: BLUETTI's 3,840 W and 45 minutes to 80% need its Hub A1, and its standard rate is 2,300 W, while Anker's 3,600 W needs an EV charging adapter on 230 V. BLUETTI states a longer cycle life (6,000+ cycles to 80%, against Anker's 4,000 with no end point), states 5 years of warranty where Anker's pages we read state none, and allows up to six expansion batteries. Anker names three expansion batteries, for up to 12 kWh in total. The Anker's published noise figure (35 dB at 1,800 W) has no BLUETTI counterpart.

Anker SOLIX F3800 vs BLUETTI Elite 400
Both hold exactly 3,840 Wh. They are the high-capacity portable units each maker sells for outages and off-grid cabins, but they differ in how much each publishes: Anker's F3800 page leaves out many figures.
The home backup pair (3,840 Wh)
| Specification |  Anker SOLIX F3800 |  BLUETTI Elite 400 |

Green cells mark the clearly better value where a higher or lower number is better. Capacity is never marked, because more is not automatically better. Level rows and rows without a clear direction are not marked. Differences smaller than about a tenth are not marked.
Our read
The F3800 quotes much higher continuous output (6,000 W against 2,600 W) and more than twice the solar input (2,400 W against 1,000 W), and it can be expanded up to 26,880 Wh, where BLUETTI's UK page lists no expansion for the Elite 400. The cycle rating (3,000 cycles to 80%) and the warranty (5 years) are the same on both. BLUETTI publishes a surge rating (5,200 W), mains charging power, weight and switchover time where Anker's UK page gives none. Anker's F3800 page does not give the voltage of its 6,000 W output (its FAQ mentions 120 V and 240 V ports), so check the model sold in your country. Neither is a fixed home battery: feeding house circuits from either is electrical work for a qualified electrician.

Side by side in words
Numbers in a table miss the bigger picture. Here is how the two brands differ on the points that matter when you choose.
| Specification | Anker SOLIX | BLUETTI |
|---|---|---|
| Range and sizes | Portable models run from 288 Wh (C300) through 1,024 and 2,048 Wh (C1000 and C2000 Gen 2) to 3,072 and 3,840 Wh (F3000 and F3800), with expansion batteries on the larger ones. The SOLIX Solarbank line is a separate range of balcony and plug-in solar batteries. | Models in our pairs run from 288 Wh (Elite 30 V2) through 1,024 Wh (Elite 100 V2) and about 2 kWh (Elite 200 V2) to 2,764.8 Wh (Apex 300) and 3,840 Wh (Elite 400). BLUETTI's AC300 is a modular system: an inverter plus B300 battery modules. |
| Fast mains charging | Anker's UltraFast mode charges the C1000 Gen 2 at up to 1,600 W for a full recharge in 49 minutes. It is switched on in the Anker app and works well only above 20 °C. The C2000 Gen 2 reaches 80% in 45 minutes at 2,300 W. | BLUETTI's Elite 30 V2 and Elite 100 V2 both reach 80% in 45 minutes (at 980 W and 1,200 W). The Elite 200 V2 charges at 2,300 W to 80% in about 1.1 hours, and the Apex 300 reaches 80% in 45 minutes only with its optional Hub A1. |
| Solar input | From 100 W on the C300 to 600 W on the C1000 Gen 2, 800 W on the C2000 Gen 2 and 2,400 W on the F3000 and F3800. | From 200 W on the Elite 30 V2 to 1,000 W on the Elite 100 V2, Elite 200 V2 and Elite 400, and two 1,200 W inputs on the Apex 300. |
| Surge output | Anker publishes a peak rating on the C300, C1000 Gen 2 and C2000 Gen 2 (600, 3,000 and 4,000 W), but not on the F3000 or F3800. | BLUETTI publishes a surge rating on the Elite 30 V2 and Elite 400 (1,500 and 5,200 W). On the Elite 100 V2, Elite 200 V2 and Apex 300 it lists 'Lifting Power' instead, which it does not define as a surge rating. |
| Warranty | A plain 5 years on the C300 and F3800 pages. The C1000 Gen 2 page does not name a warranty; Anker's UK policy gives 5 years for LiFePO4 models. Not stated for the C2000 Gen 2 and F3000. | 5 years on the Elite 30 V2, Elite 200 V2, Apex 300 and Elite 400. The Elite 100 V2 page lists a 'Global Warranty' without a length. |
| Published detail | Several Anker pages give less: the F3800 has no surge, charging, weight or noise figure in the sources we read, and the C300's charging power and weight come from US pages. | BLUETTI publishes most of the figures in our rows on every model in the pairs, with gaps such as the surge rating of the Apex 300 and the mains charging time of the Elite 400. |
Which should you choose?
Neither brand is the right answer for everyone. These are the situations where each one fits better, based on the published figures above.
Choose Anker SOLIX if
- You want more output and faster mains charging at 1 kWh: the C1000 Gen 2 quotes 2,000 W and up to 1,600 W of charging, against 1,800 W and 1,200 W for the Elite 100 V2.
- You carry it around at about 2 kWh: the C2000 Gen 2 is 18.9 kg against 24.2 kg for the Elite 200 V2.
- You want the highest output and solar input in the largest pair: the F3800 quotes 6,000 W and 2,400 W, against 2,600 W and 1,000 W for the Elite 400.
- You want to expand: Anker's F3800 goes up to 26,880 Wh, where BLUETTI's UK page lists no expansion for the Elite 400.
Choose BLUETTI if
- You want a small unit that can power more at 288 Wh: the Elite 30 V2 quotes 600 W continuous and 1,500 W surge, against 300 W and 600 W for the C300.
- You want more solar input at 1 to 2 kWh: the Elite 100 V2 and Elite 200 V2 quote 1,000 W, against 600 W and 800 W for the matching Anker models.
- You want a longer cycle rating at 2 kWh: BLUETTI quotes 6,000+ cycles for the Elite 200 V2 and Apex 300, against 4,000 for the Anker models.
- You want a warranty length stated: BLUETTI states 5 years on four of the five models in our pairs, Anker on two of five (and a policy-based 5 years on a third).
What we could not compare
A comparison is only as good as its data. Here is where the published information ran out, so you know what the tables cannot tell you.
- Several cells show 'Not stated': 10 of 60 on Anker SOLIX's side and 8 on BLUETTI's. That means the maker's page text we read gives no figure, not that the product lacks the feature.
- Several Anker figures for the C300 (charging power, weight, switchover time) come from Anker's US pages and comparison table, which describe the 120 V model. The UK page does not give them.
- The F3800 is the thinnest page: Anker's UK page gives no surge output, charging power or time, weight, noise or switchover time. The F3000 page gives no surge rating, charging time or warranty.
- BLUETTI's 'Lifting Power' figures (2,700 W, 3,900 W, 7,680 W) are not defined as surge ratings, so we left the surge cells for those models as 'Not stated'. BLUETTI's Apex 300 mains charging figures also need its optional Hub A1.
- Anker's 49-minute figure for the C1000 Gen 2 is to 100% with UltraFast on and works well only above 20 °C; BLUETTI's 45 minutes for the Elite 100 V2 is to 80%. The minutes are not measured side by side.
- We did not compare price, real-world run time, noise in daily use, app quality or after-sales support. These matter and we have not tested them.
Common questions about Anker SOLIX vs BLUETTI
Is Anker SOLIX or BLUETTI better?
Neither is better across the board. In our five matched pairs BLUETTI quotes more output and solar input at 288 Wh and more solar input and a longer cycle rating at 1 to 2 kWh, while Anker quotes more output and charging power at 1 kWh, lighter units at 2 kWh and much higher output in the largest pair. Pick by the size you need and what you will use it for, not by brand.
Which charges faster, Anker SOLIX or BLUETTI?
At 1,024 Wh Anker's C1000 Gen 2 charges at up to 1,600 W with UltraFast on, against 1,200 W for BLUETTI's Elite 100 V2. At about 2 kWh the two charge at the same 2,300 W, and Anker quotes 80% in 45 minutes against about 1.1 hours for BLUETTI. These are the makers' own figures under their own conditions.
Which brand has the longer warranty?
BLUETTI states 5 years on four of the five models in our pairs and Anker states 5 years on two. The C1000 Gen 2 page does not name a warranty, though Anker's UK policy gives 5 years for LiFePO4 models, and the C2000 Gen 2 and F3000 pages state none. BLUETTI's Elite 100 V2 page lists a 'Global Warranty' without a length.
Can an Anker SOLIX or BLUETTI power station run my whole home?
Both brands pitch their largest units for backup, but the F3800 and Elite 400 are portable power stations, not fixed home batteries. BLUETTI's manuals for the AC70 and AC200L say the AC output must not be connected to the home grid. Connecting any power station to house circuits is electrical work for a qualified electrician, and the rules differ by country: see our country guides.
Why these five pairs?
We matched each Anker SOLIX power station to the closest BLUETTI power station in capacity from the models in our catalogue, because people shop by size first. If you would like a different pairing, build your own with Compare For Yourself.
