Questions

How long will the Anker SOLIX C300 run a refrigerator?
It may not: a typical fridge compressor needs about 1,200 W for a moment to start, above this model's 600 W surge rating. Newer, smaller fridges may start fine.
Can the Anker SOLIX C300 run a microwave?
Not a full-size one. A typical 1,000 W microwave pulls about 1,500 W from the outlet, more than its 300 W continuous output. Its SurgePad mode is meant for simple heating devices, and microwaves may not work properly with it.
How long does the Anker SOLIX C300 take to charge?
Anker SOLIX's published charging claim: “0–80% in 50 min (wall outlet)”. Max AC charging power is 330 W. With solar, it accepts up to 100 W. With 100 W of panels that's roughly 3.8 hours of good sun from empty.
Is the Anker SOLIX C300 expandable?
No. Its capacity is fixed at 288 Wh.
Does the Anker SOLIX C300 work as a UPS?
Anker SOLIX lists a 10 ms switchover time, so it can keep devices like routers and computers running when the power drops. Check that your specific device tolerates the switch before relying on it for anything critical.
