Recharge Your Power Station

AC Recharging (330W Max)

Recharge your power station by connecting it to a wall outlet using the AC charging cable.

Solar Panel Recharging (100W Max)

Recharge your power station with a maximum solar input of 100W by connecting up to one Anker 100W/60W Solar Panel using a solar charging cable. The solar panel voltage should be between 11V-28V to avoid damaging the power station. The solar charging cable is sold separately.

USB-C Recharging (140W Max)

Recharge your power station by connecting to a wall adapter with a USB-C cable. Note that USB-C recharging and XT-60 recharging cannot be used simultaneously. USB-C cables are sold separately. For the best charging experience, use a 140W USB-C cable and a 140W adapter.

DC Recharging

Recharge your power station by connecting to a DC output port with the DC charging cable. The DC charging cable is sold separately.

When your portable power station has only 1% battery remaining, the "Remaining Battery" indicator will flicker to remind you to recharge.

Powering Your Device

Power On/Off

Press the main power button for 3 seconds to turn your power station on or off. When the "Remaining Battery" indicator is shown on the LCD screen, your power station is ready to charge devices.

• When powered on, press the main power button to turn the screen on or off.
• The screen will automatically turn off after 15 seconds of lighting up. The auto-off time can be set in the Anker app.
• The power station will power off automatically if the output buttons are turned off and no power loads are detected for 2 hours. The standby duration can be set in the Anker app. It is recommended not to set this to 'never' to allow the product to shut down and save power during long-term unused periods.

AC Charging

Press the AC outlet button and connect your device to the AC output ports. The AC outlets intelligently identify whether a plug is inserted, helping to prevent power waste by automatically turning off the power station if no plug is detected for more than 15 minutes.

USB Charging

Connect your devices to the USB ports. Note: The USB-C2 and USB-C3 output ports are classified as PS3. There is a risk of fire when connecting additional equipment to the USB-C ports; safeguards against fire in the connected equipment or accessories should be considered. Only connect your portable power station to equipment or accessories that comply with clauses 6.3, 6.4, and 6.5 of IEC/EN IEC/BS EN IEC 62368-1 standards. Additionally, use a USB-C 5A cable to achieve maximum power (20VDC/5A, 100W; 28VDC/5A, 140W).

Car Socket Charging

Turn on the car socket and connect your devices to start charging.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

To use the UPS feature, connect your power station to a wall outlet with the AC charging cable, then press the AC outlet button and connect your devices via the AC output ports. UPS supports a 10ms switchover time.

SurgePad™

The Anker SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station supports the SurgePad™ feature for up to 600W AC output. SurgePad™ automatically turns on when the total output exceeds the rated output, allowing the power station to deliver rated power to high-wattage devices. SurgePad™ does not function in bypass mode (when the power station is being charged with the AC output on). SurgePad™ works better with devices that generate heat but does not support precision instruments and other devices that have voltage protection or strict voltage requirements. To determine if SurgePad™ works with your high-wattage devices, try powering them with the power station.

Light

Ambient Light

Press the button once to turn on the ambient light. Press again up to 2 times to switch between brightness levels: [brightness level 1], [brightness level 2], [brightness level 3].

SOS Mode

Q6: Why is the power station not working after it hasn't been used for a long time?

If the power station is stored at a low capacity for a long time, lithium batteries will self-consume power, which may lead to a quick discharge. This often leads to poor conductivity and a reduced battery lifespan, causing the battery not to work.

Q7: How should I store and maintain the power station?

When storing your portable power station, please ensure that you: 1) Turn off the main power button. 2) Store the power station in a dry and cool environment. 3) Check the remaining battery capacity each week. If the battery level is below 30%, fully charge the power station. Don't forget to charge it to 100% once every 3 months.
