Detailed overview: Anker Solix C800 768Wh portable power station
The Anker Solix C800 is a 768 Wh portable power station that fills the gap in Anker's Solix lineup, between the compact C300X DC (288 Wh) and the versatile C1000 (1024 Wh). It aims for a simple balance: enough capacity to be genuinely useful, light enough (10.5 kg) to stay portable, and powerful enough to run most everyday appliances.
Its LiFePO4 (LFP) battery, rated for 3000 cycles and backed by a 5-year warranty from Anker, feeds a pure sine wave inverter delivering 1200 W continuous, with a SurgePad mode that pushes output up to 1600 W for the most demanding resistive appliances (kettle, toaster, small heater). It offers five AC outlets, a generous count for this capacity, alongside two USB-C ports up to 100 W, two USB-A ports and a 12V car-socket output, for up to ten devices plugged in at once.
On the charging side, the Anker Solix C800 is fast: a full recharge on mains power takes just 58 minutes thanks to an input rate up to 1100 W. Via solar, it accepts up to 300 W through an XT60 connector, and it also recharges in a car via the 12V socket (full charge in around 7 hours). Its UPS (uninterruptible power supply) function switches to battery in under 20 ms during a mains outage, protecting the router, computer or small fridge from an abrupt restart.
The LCD screen shows charge level and input/output power in real time, and the Anker app (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) lets you control the station remotely and keep track of firmware updates.
Key specifications:
- Capacity: 768 Wh, LiFePO4 battery, 3000 cycles, 5-year warranty
- AC output: 1200 W continuous, up to 1600 W with SurgePad, five 230V outlets
- Recharge: mains 0 to 100% in 58 minutes (1100 W), solar up to 300 W, car charging
- Connectivity: 2 USB-C (100 W), 2 USB-A, 12V output, LCD screen, Anker app
- Weight and size: 10.5 kg, 37.1 x 20.5 x 25 cm, UPS switchover under 20 ms
With its compact footprint, five AC outlets and fast recharge, the Anker Solix C800 suits families who want a reliable home backup, campers who want to power several appliances at once, and remote workers on the move. Availability varies by retailer, so check stock before buying, and do not confuse it with the C800 Plus (C800X) variant, which adds a camping lamp and dedicated storage around the same core hardware.

What is this power station best for?

Home & Power cuts Ideal
With 768 Wh and a pure sine wave inverter delivering 1200 W continuous (up to 1600 W with SurgePad), the Anker Solix C800 is an effective backup reserve for a power cut at home. Its UPS function switches to battery in under 20 ms, an imperceptible gap that protects the router, computer, lighting and a small fridge from an abrupt restart. Its five AC outlets let you plug in several appliances at once with no power strip needed, a real comfort during a lengthy outage. Once power is back, a full recharge in 58 minutes gets it ready for the next cut. The LiFePO4 battery, rated for 3000 cycles and backed by a 5-year warranty from Anker, takes years of regular use without faltering. Its limit: for a whole household over several days of outage, a capacity closer to 1 kWh, such as the Anker Solix C1000 in the same range, is a better fit.
-
Camping & Tent Ideal
Camping is the natural home turf of the Anker Solix C800: its 768 Wh power a cooler by day, campsite lighting in the evening and everyone's devices at once, while its 1200 W (1600 W peak with SurgePad) handle a kettle or a small electric stove without flinching. Its five AC outlets mean no queuing for a single socket, a real plus camping with friends or family. At a serviced site, a full recharge in 58 minutes tops it up over a lunch break, and the solar input up to 300 W extends runtime out in nature with a suitable panel. At 10.5 kg with a sturdy handle, it stays easy to carry to a car-accessible pitch, less so on a backpacking trail. The LiFePO4 battery (3000 cycles) and 5-year warranty make it a durable companion season after season.
-
Remote work Suitable
For remote work outdoors or in a van, the Anker Solix C800 easily lasts a full day: a laptop, a secondary monitor and an internet connection rarely draw more than 60 to 70 W, well under its 1200 W ceiling. Its two USB-C ports up to 100 W recharge a laptop directly with no separate charger, and its five AC outlets can take a printer or a desk lamp if needed. Its UPS function (switching in under 20 ms) keeps video calls safe from brief power blips. At 10.5 kg, it moves easily from desk to garden, and its 58-minute recharge fits neatly into a lunch break.
-
Road trip & Car Suitable
On a road trip or in a van, the Anker Solix C800 recharges on the move via the car's 12V socket (full charge in around 7 hours) and takes over at stops to run a cooler, lighting and everyone's devices. Its 1200 W continuous output handles a kettle or a small appliance during an impromptu stop, and its five AC outlets mean no fighting over a single socket. At a service station, a full recharge in 58 minutes fits within a break, and the solar input up to 300 W adds extra charge on days with little driving. Plan for its 10.5 kg to live in the boot rather than a backpack.
-
Events & Market stalls Suitable
For a farmers' market, a yard sale or a small outdoor gathering, the Anker Solix C800 effortlessly powers a cash register, a PA speaker, fairy lights and phone charging thanks to its five AC outlets, far more generous than the average station of this capacity. Its 1200 W continuous (1600 W peak) output also handles the occasional catering appliance. Quiet in use, it won't disturb the atmosphere, and its 58-minute recharge lets you top it up between two events.

A selection of photovoltaic panels that suit this station's solar input (up to 60V / 300W), best match first.
Comparison
Around $500, the Anker Solix C800 goes head to head with the EcoFlow River 2 Pro, its closest rival by capacity, in searches such as "Anker C800 vs EcoFlow River 2 Pro". It also sits between its own Solix siblings, the compact Anker Solix C300X DC and the more powerful Anker Solix C1000, which neatly bracket its place in the Solix collection.
| Criterion | Anker Solix C800 | EcoFlow River 2 Pro | Anker Solix C300X DC | Anker Solix C1000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 768 Wh | 768 Wh | 288 Wh | 1024 Wh |
| Continuous / peak power | 1200 W / 1600 W | 800 W / 1600 W | No AC (100% USB-C/DC) | 2000 W / 3000 W |
| AC outlets | 5 | 3 | 0 | 4 |
| Mains recharge 0-100% | 58 min | 70 min | Not applicable | 49 min |
| Weight | 10.5 kg | 7.8 kg | 2.8 kg | 11.3 kg |
| Observed price | ≈ €499 | ≈ €549 | ≈ €199 | ≈ €799 |
In short, the Anker Solix C800 stands out for its five AC outlets, a real plus for plugging in several appliances without a power strip, and for recharging faster than the EcoFlow River 2 Pro at the same capacity. The C300X DC remains the lightest and cheapest for a 100% USB-C use case, while the C1000 steps up with substantially higher power and capacity. For anyone after exactly 768 Wh with the most AC outlets around, the C800 is the reference in its class.

Our tester's review: Christophe Delpuech
We ran the Anker Solix C800 for several weeks, between camping weekends and a simulated power cut at home, and its versatility is impressive for this size. The five AC outlets genuinely change the game at an evening get-together: fairy lights, a speaker and a kettle plugged in at once, no power strip juggling required. The 58-minute recharge lives up to the promise, a real plus when you head out at short notice. The UPS switchover during a test outage went completely unnoticed, the router and computer didn't even flicker. We also like the sturdy handle and the clear, readable screen. Two honest gripes: at 10.5 kg it travels far better in a car than on your back, and the Anker app remains fairly basic compared to the competition. For a versatile home backup or a well-equipped camping trip without breaking the bank, it remains a solid choice.
