AnkerSOLIX C200 DC Power Bank Station (60,000mAh), 192Wh Portable Power Station, LiFePO4 Battery, 200W Solar Generator, for Outdoor Camping, Traveling, and Emergencies (No Wall Adapter Included)

I only really brought this to charge from solar. It works really well, the app is efficient, connecting to wifi is super easy and it works for checking the amount charged everywhere.Charging speeds are great, I always use all the Usb and Type C outlets at the same time, it works really well.Battery life is good, doesn’t feel like 60k mAh but capacity reduction exists unfortunately.The price couldn’t be better at £109 considering the Anker Prime 27,650 is around £140, for this to be more than double for a cheaper price and similar tech specs this is definitely worth the price.The weight is very heavy, around 2kg. I didn’t expect the weight to be so much for a power station with not much capacity compared to others, however it’s still portable with such a small size.

I use it with a solar panel from another brand and charges in 30 minutes in full sun. Brilliant product for a power cut.

Live in a rural location and sick to death of power cuts, this unit really packs a punch and has enough power to keep our 5 phones going for days. Shows discharge rate and charge time too. Expensive but worth every penny. Be warned though, this cannot be taken on an aircraft.

With the SOLIX range, I think Anker have hit the jackpot. My Dell laptop is rated at 20V, 65Watts. But the instructions say that using a suitable USB-C PD power bank, the Dell will initially charge at 100W. The SOLIX C200 DC Power Bank Station is the perfect way for running the Dell all day. The three USB-C outlets are rated at 140, 100 and 15 Watts. Run times, with the Dell connected to the 100W output will depend on what charge level the Dell battery was at. When the Dell has been at 10% battery, the SOLIX has recharged the laptop in 2 hours from 9am to 11am, then powered the laptop till around 4pm, when the laptop battery takes over. Easily giving me a full day of use, without a mains power cord in sight. If the laptop starts the day on a full charge, the SOLIX C200 will power the laptop all day, with about 30% battery remaining in the SOLIX by 5pm. This, combined with it's size, weight and carry handle, make the SOLIX C200 perfect for anyone working remotely, either without access to mains power, or who simply does not want to have power cords training about. One slight anomaly though. I occasionally have to work away, using an AirBnB as a base. I have a SOLIX C300 powering things like the travel router and portable printer, and the C200 DC just powering the laptop and the wireless charger phone stand. I tried recharging the C200 (over USB-C) from the C300, and the C300 from the mains. But as soon as the C200 reached 55%, it stopped recharging. So I had to recharge the C200 using a mains charger, plugged in to the C300 mains sockets, which worked fine. So if you need all-day laptop power, the C200 DC is brilliant. I would guess that it might only get a more power hungry laptop, like a Macbook Pro or a gaming laptop from 9am, to perhaps 3 or 4 pm. But that is still impressive, given it's size and portability.

No plug supplied and takes about 5-6 hours to charge on a 30wat standard, charges devices well but if the charge voltage is too low it won't register the device. Great for indoors or in a car but too big and heavy to take backpacking or camping. Would suit campervan,caravan, boat or car camping.

First of all you should be aware that if for any reason you decide it's not for you and that you want to return it, then you will be met with a warning that this item isn't eligable for return due to it being a "restricted item" (probably meaning the amount of lithium in it). I really think that customers should be made aware of this first as you might think well if i'm unsatisfied I can return it. But you can't. Second of all the quality on these is not the best. And I believe mine was used. It had dirty marks on it, the screen protector looked as if it had been peeled off already and then stuck back down. So I'm not too happy I think this is one that some influencer got, reviewed and then returned to Anker and Anker were perfectly happy to sell it to me as a new item. After raising this with anker, they more or less treated me like I was a liar and demanded I take photos, videos and offer proof of this before they will accept a return. This is against the distance selling act. You can't demand someone make videos and stuff for you to accept a return. You can return any item, for any reason if it was sold to you without you being physically present. So this has soured my view on Anker especially since this is the second time this has happened to me now.

I needed a battery station for when I go camping, so needed something that could charge 2 iPhones, 2 apple watches, my lights, a speaker and a water pump and this thing can do all that and last a good week! Not to mention you can charge it with a £50 solar panel that outputs 40w and charge it up in 3-5 hours and then you get a second week worth of charge! And considering it has lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries it will last a very long time unlike a normal lithium ion battery. I guess my only gripe with it is that it doesn’t have a pop up light like the C300, but for the price I think it’s more than perfect.

I got this at the reduced 'Black Friday ' price and for that I consider it excellent value.It has a good, useful capacity in a compact form. It'll charge quickly with a 100w laptop charger (USB C only) and has three USB C outlets and two USB A outlets.
