Recharge Your Power Station
AC Recharging (330W Max)
Connect the power station to a wall outlet using the AC charging cable.
Solar Panel Recharging (100W Max)
Connect 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.
USB-C Recharging (140W Max)
Recharge the power station using a USB-C cable and a compatible wall adapter. USB-C recharging and XT-60 recharging cannot be used simultaneously. Use a 140W USB-C cable and adapter for optimal charging.
DC Recharging
Recharge the power station by connecting to a DC output port with the DC charging cable. The "Remaining Battery" indicator will flicker when the battery is at 1%.
Powering Your Device
Power On/Off
Press and hold the main power button for 3 seconds to turn the power station on or off. The LCD screen will display the battery status when ready to charge devices. The screen automatically turns off after 15 seconds of inactivity, but this can be adjusted in the Anker app. The power station will automatically shut down after 2 hours of inactivity if output buttons are off, which can also be configured in the app.
AC Charging
Press the AC outlet button and connect your device to the AC output ports. The outlets intelligently detect inserted plugs to prevent power waste.
USB Charging
Connect your devices to the USB ports. Note that USB-C2 and USB-C3 ports are classified as PS3. Ensure connected equipment complies with IEC/EN IEC/BS EN IEC 62368-1 standards. Use a USB-C 5A cable for maximum power (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 the power station to a wall outlet with the AC charging cable, press the AC outlet button, and connect your devices to the AC output ports. UPS supports a 10ms switchover time.
SurgePad™
The Anker SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station supports SurgePad™ for up to 600W AC output. SurgePad™ automatically activates when the total output exceeds the rated output, providing power to high-wattage devices. It does not function in bypass mode and works best with devices that generate heat, not precision instruments with strict voltage requirements.
Light
Ambient Light
Press the ambient light button once to turn it on. Press it up to two more times to cycle through brightness levels.
SOS Mode
Hold the ambient light button for 2 seconds to activate SOS mode.
