Recharge Your Power Station
The power station can be recharged through several methods:
AC Recharging (285W Max)
Connect the power station to a wall outlet using the provided AC charging cable.
Solar Panel Recharging (100W Max)
Recharge using an Anker 100W/60W Solar Panel via a solar charging cable. The solar panel voltage should be between 11V-28V to avoid damaging the unit. The solar charging cable is sold separately.
USB-C Recharging (140W Max)
Recharge using a USB-C cable and a compatible wall adapter. USB-C recharging and XT-60 recharging cannot be used simultaneously. For optimal charging, use a 140W USB-C cable and a 140W adapter.
Car Recharging
Connect to a car's output port using the car charging cable (sold separately).
When the power station has 1% battery remaining, the "Remaining Battery" indicator will flicker as a reminder to recharge.
Powering Your Device
Power On/Off
Press the main power button for 3 seconds to turn the power station on or off. The power station is ready to charge devices when the "Remaining Battery" indicator is shown on the LCD screen.
- Press the main power button to turn the screen on or off when powered on.
- The screen automatically turns off after 15 seconds of inactivity. This can be adjusted in the Anker app.
- The power station will automatically power off if output buttons are off and no power loads are detected for 2 hours. This standby duration can be set in the Anker app to conserve power during long-term storage.
AC Charging
Press the AC outlet button and connect your device to the AC output ports. The outlets intelligently detect plug insertion and automatically turn off the station if no plug is detected for over 15 minutes, preventing power waste.
USB Charging
Connect your devices to the available USB ports (USB-A and USB-C). Note: USB-C2 and USB-C3 ports are classified under PS3. Ensure connected equipment or accessories comply with IEC/EN IEC/BS EN IEC 62368-1 standards to mitigate fire risks. Use a USB-C 5A cable for maximum power delivery (up to 140W).
Car Socket Charging
Turn on the car socket and connect your devices to begin charging.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
To utilize the UPS feature, connect the power station to a wall outlet using the AC charging cable. Then, press the AC outlet button and connect your devices to the AC output ports. UPS functionality supports a 10ms switchover time.
SurgePad™
The Anker SOLIX C200X supports the SurgePad™ feature, providing up to 600W AC output. SurgePad™ activates automatically when the total output exceeds the rated output, allowing the power station to deliver rated power to high-wattage devices. This feature does not function in bypass mode (when the power station is charging with AC output active). SurgePad™ is best suited for devices that generate heat and may not support precision instruments or devices with strict voltage requirements.
Light
Ambient Light
Press the button once to turn on the ambient light. Press it up to two more times to cycle through different brightness levels (x1, x2, x3).
SOS Mode
Hold the button for 2 seconds to activate SOS mode.
LCD Screen Guide
The LCD screen displays various indicators:
- 1 (IoT Icon): Indicates Bluetooth/Wi-Fi status. Press IoT button to turn on/off or reset.
- 2 AC Charge and Voltage Frequency: Displays AC charge and voltage frequency (50Hz/60Hz).
- 3 Low-Temperature Alert: Icon appears when the temperature is too low. Stop use until it disappears.
