Anker SOLIX C200 DC, 192Wh 200W DC Power Bank, Portable Power Station

This is a beast of a USB Powerbank, with 60,000mAh battery to power my devices time after time.It’s surprisingly compact given its specs - said to be almost 40% smaller than its peers, but its weight is not inconsiderable - you know when it’s in your bag!I got it to power my gaming laptop, phone, tablet and smart telescope through the night when I’m away from home, and it performs each role admirably. It charges up in a couple of hours from a fast charger, and you can get a charging lead for your car so you can charge it up on the go.There’s a connector on the front for the car charger, which also allows you connect a set of 100w solar panels for power when you’re out in the wilds. One of the USB slots is a 140w two-way slot so you can fast charge the powerbank, or fast charge your devices.All in all, I’m really pleased with it. I would have liked a 3 pin plug for household items, but didn’t have the budget for the next model up. However, I can live without it because this powers everything I need when I’m on the go, for a considerable length of time. It looks good, the digital readout is incredibly useful, and it’s very easy to use.Two thumbs up for this great little beast of a powerbank 👍🏼👍🏼

This is a great piece of kit for my needs. Went camping with no electric hook up for three days, this easily charged two iPhones, four USB lanterns, two USB head torches and a mini USB inflator. (100% down to about 70%) The power station itself is just a bit bigger than a brick, but just as heavy! It comes with a sturdy hand strap too. I purchased a 60w folding solar panel to top it up, (fits snugly into a laptop bag when folded, very handy!) but didn’t need it this time. The only thing to be aware of is that you can not charge it up without using a heavy duty high power charging plug. Not included, you get a USB C charging cable, but not the charger. I am currently using a steam deck charger.

Useful product that seems well made. Bought it primarily for use with a Dokio 100W solar panel so we could charge phones while camping. Also useful to take on long car journeys so the kids in the back can keep their phones charged without needing to connect to the car's limited outlets. Charges my MacBook Pro as well, and can itself be easily charged from the MacBook's USB-C power supply. Seems to charge most USB A and C power banks as well (but see comment below).A couple of things to mention - sometimes when you plug in a device for charging, it doesn't immediately start the charging and you need to unplug and plug-in the charging cable for the device before it picks up and gets going.We have a Belkin USB-C power bank that won't charge from the C200 at all and I'm wondering if there's some clash of USB-C intelligence between some devices, when they negotiate who is charging who.Bluetooth app is handy although not essential for using - seeing how much power is going in and out of each port can be useful to check. If the C200 is at 100% charge and you have a solar panel connected, it doesn't register the panel as being present unless it drops in charge and needs to draw on some of the solar - it'd be nice if the Solar indicator at least always registered that the panel was connected but this is not a deal breaker.

With the SOLIX range, I think Anker have hit the jackpot. My Dell laptop is rated at 20V, 65Watts. But the instructions say that using a suitable USB-C PD power bank, the Dell will initially charge at 100W. The SOLIX C200 DC Power Bank Station is the perfect way for running the Dell all day. The three USB-C outlets are rated at 140, 100 and 15 Watts. Run times, with the Dell connected to the 100W output will depend on what charge level the Dell battery was at. When the Dell has been at 10% battery, the SOLIX has recharged the laptop in 2 hours from 9am to 11am, then powered the laptop till around 4pm, when the laptop battery takes over. Easily giving me a full day of use, without a mains power cord in sight. If the laptop starts the day on a full charge, the SOLIX C200 will power the laptop all day, with about 30% battery remaining in the SOLIX by 5pm. This, combined with it's size, weight and carry handle, make the SOLIX C200 perfect for anyone working remotely, either without access to mains power, or who simply does not want to have power cords training about. One slight anomaly though. I occasionally have to work away, using an AirBnB as a base. I have a SOLIX C300 powering things like the travel router and portable printer, and the C200 DC just powering the laptop and the wireless charger phone stand. I tried recharging the C200 (over USB-C) from the C300, and the C300 from the mains. But as soon as the C200 reached 55%, it stopped recharging. So I had to recharge the C200 using a mains charger, plugged in to the C300 mains sockets, which worked fine. So if you need all-day laptop power, the C200 DC is brilliant. I would guess that it might only get a more power hungry laptop, like a Macbook Pro or a gaming laptop from 9am, to perhaps 3 or 4 pm. But that is still impressive, given it's size and portability.

Kind of okay. I had one issue — one time didn’t want to charge it fully, so I had to reset the station. Not bad - It's alive 3-4 days (charge two phones at once). One of them is a Samsung, so it needs to be charged almost constantly. Hardly used on common tent trips.

Has this for like a year now and it's the best.Battery can charge my Mac and phones and tablet each at least once or twice which gives me days of power when on the road.The 3x type C usbs are good, I suppose id like the top one to give out more power if I was being critical.Bit heavy but this isn't a backpack item it's a camping or off grid style thing.

Really good battery 🔋 charge up so many items, never dropped below 50%, other batterys would be at zero. Charges up fast even on solar, it was taking a constant 40 watts.

Excellent item, and amazing value for the money paid for it. I was actually worried it would be too big, but now I wish I would have ordered the C300 version. Planning to take it on a road trip, so it will come in handy. No issues so far.

Power banks are great for phones, but power stations like these are great for digital nomads that have more power hungry devices. You can go all day with one of these without having to search for a table or desk next to a wall plug. I wish it had the pop up lantern like the model this replaces, but cheap and portable USB powered lights aren't hard to come by.

If you’re expecting to camp overnight and run a TV or whatever, that’s not going to happen.Keep in mind this unit is beyond excellent for keeping the phones charged and gaming systems running on a long trip or if the power goes out overnight.otherwise it’s exactly what I needed. The car charger works. Excellent if you have the cord I’m using a 65 W wall charger at home and it takes about three hours to charge from 50%. I’m assuming if you actually use a 140 W charger, it will be much quicker . I have used this unit every day as a delivery driver to keep my phone and tablet running and so far I’ve never gotten below 75% keep in mind. This is over an eight hour shift with the phone plugged in constantly. To answer the question yes I would buy it again. Yes I would give it to my mother to keep her stop running and trust it to last. Lol all I can really say is it is what it is and does the job it was made for.

Excelente, estaba buscando una opción para camping y es perfecto. Trae una correa extra que funcionará súper bien para cargarla, tome en cuenta que es algo pesada. La configuración es relativamente sencilla.

I’m very impressed with the Anker SOLIX Power Bank Station C200. The battery life is excellent—it lasts a long time and gives me plenty of power when I need it most.I originally bought it to charge my camera equipment, and it works perfectly. It handles multiple devices without any issues, which is a huge plus when I’m out shooting and need something reliable.What surprised me is how often I also use it at home. It’s become a really convenient backup power source for everyday use, not just for travel or outdoor situations.
