Anker SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station, 288Wh Solar Generator for Camping
The Anker SOLIX C300 packs a 288Wh LiFePO4 battery into a compact 8.6-pound station that powers camping weekends and emergency backups alike. The 300W AC outlet (600W surge) runs mini fridges, CPAP machines, string lights, fans, and drones, while the 60W USB-C PD port fast-charges laptops and cameras. It recharges from a wall outlet in about 55 minutes or from a compatible solar panel when you are off-grid, and the LiFePO4 chemistry holds up to 2,000+ charge cycles, so it lasts for years of trips.

The campsite charging math falls apart fast — parents' phones, kids' tablets, a camera, maybe a CPAP — and most stations force you to charge one device at a time. The Anker SOLIX C300's 60W USB-C PD port charges a laptop at full speed while its 300W AC outlet runs a mini fridge or CPAP, all from a 288Wh LiFePO4 pack that weighs just 8.6 pounds. Honest catch: 288Wh suits one-to-two-night trips, and the 300W AC ceiling won't run kettles or induction cooktops.
🏆 How It Compares
Compared to alternatives in the solar & power category, the Anker SOLIX C300 excels with true laptop-fast 60W USB-C PD output, a 300W AC outlet with 600W surge in an 8.6-pound frame, and 2,000+ cycle LiFePO4 cells from a brand campers already trust. However, keep in mind its 288Wh capacity fits 1-2 night trips, and it costs roughly $160 more than the similar-capacity EcoFlow RIVER 2 for the faster laptop charging and Anker polish.
Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- LiFePO4 battery with 2,000+ charge cycles — outlasts cheaper lithium-ion stations
- 300W AC outlet with 600W surge handles mini fridges, CPAP, and small appliances
- 60W USB-C PD port fast-charges laptops, phones, and cameras
- Recharges in ~55 minutes from a wall outlet — nearly full power before dinner
❌ Cons
- 288Wh capacity is modest — plan for 1-2 nights, not week-long off-grid power
- 300W AC limit won't run kettles, induction cooktops, or high-draw appliances
- A small share of early units shipped with defects, hence the 4.2-star average
