AnkerSOLIX C200 DC Power Bank Station, 192Wh Portable Power Station, LiFePO4 Battery, 200W Solar Generator, for Outdoor Camping, Traveling, and Emergencies (No Wall Charger Included)

Just buy it... If there is a deal on this, you should DEFINTELY get it. I wanted a battery bank that had a high wattage output, and this killed it. I bring it with me everywhere; to school, in my car, to friends houses, road trips, etc. Its battery life is super good, and can charge my phone and laptop FULLY, at the SAME TIME, with SUPER FAST CHARGING. I also use the Anker 140 watt laptop charger to recharge this beast super quickly.

Great Product. More substantial then the typical battery power brick. This charges via USB-C at up to 140w, or even via a small solar panel at 11-28v. While this is not quite as feature filled as its bigger brothers the C300DC or C300, this is a bit smaller size and just right for what it was designed to do. I also really enjoy the carrying handle and the screen is very high quality. You can connect to this with the Anker app just like any other Solix product, and this supports both bluetooth and wi-fi.

I got this power bank bundled with the 60w solar panel. power bank works as described, and you can find many reviews on it. since I couldn't find any review on this solar panel, I thought I would post it here. it's April 3 in Chicago, on sunny morning, flat on the ground, I got 35-40w, angled towards the sun 48-52w. Overcast sky flat 15-20w, angled - up to 25w. I'm extremely happy with this result. The size, when folded, is also perfect to throw it in the backpack. The biggest drawback with this solar panel is that it doesn't have a USB connection. In order to remedy this issue, I have purchased 'MARBERO Solar Panel Connector Power Hub with 2 DC Input Ports' and 'FlexSolar Solar Panel Charge Cable 6.6FT 14AWG Solar Connector to Anderson, DC5521, DC7909, XT60 Adapter', and 'small usb 18650 Battery Charger'. This setup covers all my charging needs, and provides some redundancy in case the power bank breaks. BTW I will be using this item in my bug out/emergency preparedness backpack to power all my devices such as HAM/weather radio, GPS, kindle with all my books, etc...

My review is still pending further testing but so far the rated output is less than I expected for my uses. This Solix C200 DC unit advertises as 60,000mah but I am only getting 19+ hours (not even 24 hrs running a 3-channel dash cam 24/7). The print at the bottom says 15,000mah, which adds more confusion. I have several units I am testing as well. I might be missing something here but I was expecting much longer battery life per charge.I run dash cams with power banks in order to not drain my car battery. I have stuck with lithium ion instead of lithium polymer because they tend to be more stable in tolerating higher temperatures. However the cut off point is around 114F when it becomes not advisable to do this.I opted to try this unit out because Lithium Iron Phosphate is generally known to have a higher temperature rated tolerance than Lithium Ion. Plus, this unit is nowhere near the $300 to $600 price range of those LifePo4 car dash cam batteries specifically sold for this purpose. And because LiFePo4 have a longer recharging lifespan.Over the years I get a general idea of how long a 10,000mah battery will last over one closer to 27,000mah or 50,000mah using 24/7 recording on 1 channel, 2 channel and even 3-channel dash cams or even several of them on one power bank. With 50,000mah or those power banks claiming to be that high, I at least get 24hrs on a 2 to 3 channel one. But with this I only get 19+ hours as noted by the estimate on the app and on my initial tests.Looking at the print at the bottom it says 15,000mah without further explanation on what this actually means. Further searches on the internet say this is per power cell or pack and not the total mah it has, which is actually equivalent to 60,000mah. If this is the case why is this not on the printed label or explained in the manual somewhere? I cannot substantiate whether this is true or not. I only know that with a 3-channel dash cam running at roughly 7 to 8 watts, it can only last up to 20 hours before being depleted.In comparison, a few 50,000mah to 60,000mah lithium ion power banks I use seem to last longer. My 27,700mah to 30,000 mah power bank is closer to this one's duration.Some math:192 watt hours divided by 8 watts from the dash cam equals 24 hours. Tests have been closer to 19 to 20 hours. Still trying to figure this out.Advertised 60,000mah = 60amp hours. USB at 5 volts. power in watts = amps x volts = 60ah x 5 v = 300watt hours. So, a dash cam at 8watts would be: 300/8 = 37.5 hours. I am getting nowhere near this number.Aside from questioning the capacity, this C200 DC is great overall. I can fast charge it with a GAN 240 watt charger in about an hour, see stats on the app and charge all the USB devices. This is another area it excels over most power banks.

I love it. I’m a track Mom and if you know about track, you know it’s an all day type of event. Our devices stay fully charge even the fans that kept my kids cool.

I run a business that requires charging phones at some point during the day. I have multiple portable chargers but I thought I would give a powerstation a try so I wouldn't have to carry so many devices. When I received the power bank, I was able to plug/charge and it worked fantastic for our first event. I was able to charge our phones half way during the event. Power bank dropped to 84% and when I tried to charge it, it never moved from 84%. Looked at the paperwork that came with the bank but nothing addressed the inability to charge the powerbank back up. Contacted Amazon and the seller who asked me a lot of questions. The mentioned there was a reset button. That worked. I was going to return it but if I can get it to charge by clicking the reset button, perfect. I can do that. Here we are today. Sitting 28% and still cannot get this thing to charge. I don't have time, energy or patience to deal with this everytime I use it and need to charge it. Unfortunately I am returning this and will be paying a little bit more for a Jackery or Bluetti.
