Anker SOLIX C300 DC
The C300 DC (A1726) is a 288Wh DC-only power station with a 300W combined DC-output ceiling and no AC outlets. It fits direct USB/DC charging for selected devices; it cannot run appliances that require a 120V AC receptacle.

Is it right for your household?
USB-C, USB-A and compatible 12V DC devices that fit their individual and combined output limits.
Any AC-only appliance, including household plug-in devices, because this model has no AC output.
More fit considerations
Other situations to consider
- A compact 2.8kg setup where avoiding an AC inverter is acceptable.
- A compatible solar plan within 11–28V, 8.2A and 100W input limits.
Other reasons to choose a different setup
- A need for AC EPS/UPS backup, 120V or 240V outlets, or a conventional AC inverter.
- A solar panel outside the accepted voltage/current range or incompatible connector/accessory set.

C300 DC means no AC output
This guide covers model A1726, the C300 DC. Anker distinguishes it from the C300 AC&DC version. The C300 DC has no AC receptacles, no inverter output and no AC UPS transfer. It cannot power a household appliance that plugs into a standard AC outlet, even if the appliance's watts appear below the unit's 300W DC ceiling.
Match the port and its individual limit
The 288Wh capacity is stored energy and does not indicate how long any connected device will run. Anker lists a combined 300W DC output maximum. C2/C3 USB-C ports are bidirectional up to 140W each; C1 is output-only up to 100W; C4 is output-only up to 15W; USB-A is 12W; the car outlet is 12V/10A/120W. Shared-port combinations have additional limits, so check the A1726 guide before connecting multiple loads.
Check panel voltage and connector before solar charging
The solar input is XT60, 11–28V and 8.2A maximum, for up to 100W. A panel's wattage label is not enough: compare its open-circuit voltage and current with these limits and use the correct cable. Anker warns that some of its own panels, including PS30/other 5V3A USB-C models, PS200 and PS400, are incompatible with this station.
Plan charging, temperature and storage together
Anker lists 288Wh cell capacity, about 2.8kg and charge/discharge operating ranges of 0–40°C and -20–40°C respectively. The guide describes periodic state-of-charge checks and recharge practices for storage. Keep the station upright as directed, use the correct port for activating or recharging it, and verify the model label before relying on accessory or maintenance details.
Do not treat watt-hours as delivered USB/DC runtime
Actual run time depends on the connected device's draw, port voltage profile, conversion losses, temperature, and what else is connected. Build a short load plan from device labels or measured use. No battery chemistry is asserted here because it was not confirmed in the exact A1726 source reviewed. The C300 AC&DC variant is a different product and must not be substituted to infer chemistry or AC behavior.
