Four USB-C ports and two USB-A ports offer options for charging several types of personal devices. Two USB-C ports support two-way charging up to 140W, while the other USB-C ports provide up to 100W and 15W. The 300W output and 288Wh capacity make this a portable DC power source for compatible electronics, rather than a station centered on standard household AC outlets. Its compact format is intended for portable use, so it can fit naturally into a camping or travel setup.
Buyer feedback often points to its portability and usefulness for camping. Comments are more mixed on battery runtime and port selection, making it practical to plan around the devices you expect to power and the connections they use.
Tips for day-to-day use
For a camping trip, the USB ports can keep compatible phones, cameras, headphones, or a laptop powered from one portable station. The car socket offers another connection for compatible equipment. When sunlight is available, the included panel can recharge the unit, for solar charging, use a compatible panel with an XT60 connector and a voltage range of 11–28V. The station supports up to 100W of solar input. Anker advises against using the SOLIX PS30, PS200, or PS400 with this model, as well as other 5V/3A USB-C solar panels.
You can also recharge from a USB-C PD wall charger rated at 18W or higher, using the supported USB-C2 or USB-C3 ports, or recharge through a car or the PD 3.1 USB-C port. For full-speed wall charging, the product information specifies two 140W charging ports. These options make it easier to choose a recharge method that suits a home, vehicle, or outdoor setup.
