Not tested by us
We have not tested the Anker SOLIX C200 DC. The figures on this page come from the sources listed at the end of the page, checked on 13 November 2026, and we do not show prices. "Best for" is based on what the maker says the product is designed for, not on our own tests.

| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Storage | |
| CapacityHow much energy the battery stores. Bigger means longer runtime or more of your own solar power used later. | 192 Wh (cell capacity in the manual) |
| Battery chemistryLFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for long life and stable behaviour with heat. | LFP (the page says it uses LFP batteries) |
| Cycle lifeHow many full charge and discharge cycles the cells are rated for before they hold less than the stated share of their original capacity. | 3,000 or more cycles to 80% capacity (from the specification data on Anker's page) |
| ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system. | Not expandable: Anker's specification data lists no expansion battery |
| Output | |
| AC output (continuous)The power it can deliver all the time. Add up the watts of what you want to run at once and stay below this. | None: the C200 DC has no AC outlets |
| Peak outputA short burst above the continuous rating, for example to start a motor. It cannot be held. | 200 W maximum in total |
| USB-APorts for phones, tablets and small devices. | 2 ports, 12 W each (5 V, 2.4 A). USB-A and the 15 W USB-C share 20 W in total |
| USB-CPorts for laptops, phones and tablets. Power delivery up to 100 W can charge most laptops. | 3 ports: USB-C1 output only, 15 W; USB-C2 output only, 100 W; USB-C3 input or output, 140 W (28 V, 5 A). Several ports at once share the 200 W (for example 100 W + 100 W, or 140 W + 20 W) |
| Car outletA 12 V socket like the one in a car, for car accessories. | None |
| Wireless chargingA pad on the unit that charges a compatible phone without a cable. | Not stated |
| Charging | |
| Solar inputHow much solar panel power it accepts. A higher figure fills the battery faster on a sunny day. | 100 W maximum, 11 to 28 V, 8.2 A, XT60 connector. The solar charging cable is sold separately |
| Time to charge from the mainsHow long a full charge takes from a wall socket. | No AC input. Over the 140 W USB-C PD 3.1 port: 80% in 1.3 hours (any USB-C PD charger of 18 W or more works; a 140 W port is needed for full speed) |
| Car chargingCharging from a car's 12 V or 24 V socket while driving. Slow, but useful on the road. | Through the solar and car input with a car charging cable (sold separately). The input power is not stated |
| Pass-through chargingWhether it can power devices while it is itself being charged. | Not stated |
| Solar and off-grid | |
| Works with solar panelsWhether you can charge it from solar panels. Yes means a built-in solar input or a compatible solar setup; read the detail for the voltage and power limits. | Yes: built-in solar input, 11 to 28 V, 100 W maximum (XT60). Anker recommends its 100 W or 60 W panels; it is not compatible with 5 V USB-C panels, the PS200, PS400 or FS400. |
| Off-grid useWhether the maker describes it running with no grid connection at all, for example in a cabin, van or off-grid home. Backup only means it covers power cuts but needs the grid the rest of the time. | Yes: a 192 Wh battery that charges from a 100 W solar panel or a car socket. Anker names camping, fishing and tailgating as uses. DC only, no AC outlets. |
| Housing and warranty | |
| Dimensions (L × W × H)Check the space before you buy, including room around it for airflow and cables. | 10.0 × 11.0 × 18.5 cm (3.94 × 4.33 × 7.28 in). Anker does not name the axes |
| WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it. | 1.9 kg (4.2 lb) |
| Operating temperatureThe range it is rated to work in. Cold and heat can reduce performance. | Discharging -20 to 40 °C; charging 0 to 40 °C (the page's specification data gives -20 to 40 °C) |
| Protection ratingIP ratings show protection from dust and water. IP55 and IP65 are rated for outdoor-style exposure; check the installation guidance. | Not stated |
| Noise levelFan noise while working. | Not stated |
| ConnectivityHow you monitor and control it, usually through an app. | Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with the Anker app for remote control. The IoT button turns them on and off |
| DisplayWhether the unit has its own screen showing charge level and power in and out. | LCD screen showing battery level, output and input power, and estimated time to full charge or to empty |
| WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ. | 3 years in the page text. The specification data on the same page gives 5 years, and Anker does not explain the difference |
How long will it run your devices?
Choose how many of each device you want to run at the same time. The wattages are typical figures, so check the label on your own devices.
| Device | Typical power | How many |
|---|---|---|
| 10 W | ||
| 10 W | ||
| 15 W | ||
| 60 W | ||
| 80 W | ||
| 80 W | ||
| 40 W | ||
| 1,000 W | ||
| 2,000 W | ||

The estimate assumes 85% of the rated capacity is usable after conversion losses. Anker SOLIX does not state this figure, so we use a cautious assumption. Real running times vary with temperature, battery age and how each device draws power.
Compatible with
What Anker SOLIX says this product works with. Anything not listed here is not confirmed.
- Mains devices
- Not compatible: Not compatible: the C200 DC has no AC output, so a kettle, TV or anything with a mains plug needs a different power station.
- Solar panels
- Anker 100 W or 60 W solar panels, or other 11 to 28 V panels with an XT60 connector. Not compatible with the Anker SOLIX PS30 (or other 5 V, 3 A USB-C panels), PS200, PS400 or FS400. Anker warns that its panels over 100 W will cause a malfunction.
- Chargers
- Any USB-C PD charger of 18 W (9 V, 2 A) or more; a 140 W port gives full-speed charging. The charger is not included.
- Anker app
- Remote control and settings (such as screen and standby timers) in the Anker app, on iOS and Android.
Rules where you live
A portable power station is not wired into your home, so it is simple to use almost anywhere. Connecting one to your home circuits to power the house is different, and the rules for that vary by country. See our country guides for the rules, incentives and prices where you live.

Where this information comes from
We have not tested the C200 DC. Figures come from Anker's UK product page for the C200 DC (text, FAQ and specification data) and from the C200 DC user manual (model A1727) that the page links to, last checked on 13 November 2026. Where the page text and its specification data differ (warranty), both are shown. A value that Anker does not state is shown as not stated.
We do not show prices, because they change often and differ between sellers.

Common questions about Anker SOLIX C200 DC
Can the C200 DC run a kettle or a laptop?
Not a kettle: it has no AC socket. A laptop that charges over USB-C at up to 140 W works; a device with a mains plug does not.
How long will 192 Wh last?
Divide 192 Wh by the device's draw for a rough running time. Our calculator above assumes a conservative 85% usable energy.
What is the difference from the C300 DC?
The C300 DC has 288 Wh, 300 W of output and a second 140 W USB-C port. See our C300 DC page.
