| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Storage | |
| CapacityHow much energy the battery stores. Bigger means longer runtime or more of your own solar power used later. | 768 Wh |
| Battery chemistryLFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for long life and stable behaviour with heat. | LFP (lithium iron phosphate) |
| 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 charge cycles, described as up to 10 years of everyday use. Anker does not state the capacity level at the end of those cycles. |
| ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system. | Not stated |
| 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. | 1,200 W maximum (230 V, 5.22 A, 50 Hz) |
| AC output (surge)A short burst above the continuous rating, for appliances that draw more power when they start. | 1,600 W with SurgePad. It switches on when the total output exceeds the rated output and works best with heat-generating devices; it does not support precision instruments or devices with strict voltage requirements. |
| USB-APorts for phones, tablets and small devices. | 2 ports, 5 V 2.4 A (12 W max) each |
| USB-CPorts for laptops, phones and tablets. Power delivery up to 100 W can charge most laptops. | 2 ports: one up to 100 W (5 to 20 V, 5 A max) and one up to 30 W. Both are output only; they cannot charge the power station. |
| Car outletA 12 V socket like the one in a car, for car accessories. | 1 port, 12 V 10 A |
| Camping lightsBuilt-in lights for camp sites and tents. Check the brightness, modes and how long they run. | Two lights on a retractable 1 m pole (supports 1.5 to 5 kg): floodlight (4,500 K, up to 200 lm), candle (3,000 K, up to 100 lm) and torch (4,500 K, up to 200 lm) modes. They run 8 hours at full brightness and up to 130 hours at minimum, and recharge in about 4 hours on the unit. |
| Charging | |
| AC chargingHow fast it charges from a wall socket. Higher means a shorter wait. | 750 W standard; 1,100 W with UltraFast on (switched on in the Anker app). In bypass mode the AC input can be up to 2,070 W. |
| Time to charge from the mainsHow long a full charge takes from a wall socket. | 100% in 58 minutes with UltraFast on. The page gives no time for standard charging. |
| Solar inputHow much solar panel power it accepts. A higher figure fills the battery faster on a sunny day. | 300 W maximum through the XT60 input |
| Solar charging timeHow long a full charge takes from solar panels, in the conditions the maker names. | 80% in 2.3 hours |
| Car chargingCharging from a car's 12 V or 24 V socket while driving. Slow, but useful on the road. | 100% in 7.2 hours |
| Backup switchover (EPS)What happens when the grid fails. EPS means it takes over automatically. | UPS, 20 ms |
| 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: up to 300 W of solar input through the XT60 port; Anker says it works with most solar panels and recommends its own for best compatibility. |
| 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: it charges from solar and runs devices from its AC, USB and car outlets; Anker markets it for camping and travel. |
| Housing and warranty | |
| Dimensions (L × W × H)Check the space before you buy, including room around it for airflow and cables. | 371 × 205 × 253 mm (14.61 × 8.07 × 9.96 in); Anker does not say which number is which axis |
| WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it. | 10.9 kg (24 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 |
| Protection ratingIP ratings show protection from dust and water. IP55 and IP65 are rated for outdoor-style exposure; check the installation guidance. | Not published by Anker |
| Noise levelFan noise while working. | Not published by Anker |
| ConnectivityHow you monitor and control it, usually through an app. | Anker app over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth |
| WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ. | 5 years |
How long will it run your devices?

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.
- Solar panels
- Works with most solar panels through the XT60 input (up to 300 W); Anker recommends its own SOLIX panels and supplies an adapter and charging cables.
- App
- The Anker app (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) for checking power and settings, including UltraFast charging.
- Precision instruments
- Not compatible: Not compatible with SurgePad: Anker says SurgePad does not support precision instruments or devices with strict voltage requirements.
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.
Strengths and things to check
Strengths
- Camping lights with a retractable pole built in
- 58-minute full recharge from the mains with UltraFast on (Anker's figure)
- 1,200 W output, 1,600 W with SurgePad for heating devices
- 5-year warranty and 3,000 cycles
Worth checking before you buy
- 768 Wh is small for running a home: at the full 1,200 W it lasts roughly half an hour
- Anker's landing page also covers the plain C800 and the specification list is not labelled for one model
- The page lists both 5 AC outputs and 8 outlets in total, which do not add up with the three AC sockets in Anker's photo
- Anker's US page redirects to the C1000 Gen 2, so the model may be on its way out

Common questions about Anker SOLIX C800 Plus
What is the difference between the C800 and the C800 Plus?
Anker's page says the camping lights and the multi-function pole are only on the C800 Plus, while the built-in storage compartment is only on the C800. Both are listed at 768 Wh and 1,200 W.
Can the C800 Plus run a kettle?
Many kettles draw 2,000 W or more, which is above the 1,200 W rating. Anker says SurgePad can lift the output to 1,600 W for heat-generating devices, so check the label on your kettle first.
Can the C800 Plus work as a UPS?
Yes. Anker says it switches over in 20 ms, so it can keep essential devices running during a power cut.
