Anker SOLIX C300 Portable Power Station - 288Wh | 300W

Nice OTG Powerstation That Doubles As A Nightstand Light And Charging Station

I got this for the purpose of having something small I can throw in my car for overnight car camping and long road trips so I do not need to run my car to charge my phone if I'm stopped for a while. I didn't get any solar panels because how I'm going to use it I shouldn't need them. And while technically I didn't buy the car charger either, I have a C1000 that came with one. That should be all I need to keep the C300 charged when I take it with me. The C300 might be a little bulky as a bedside charging station, I do use it as a bedside light which is nice to turn on with the app before heading to the bedroom at night so I do not have to use the ceiling fan lights. While the light could be a bit brighter, it's fine for getting ready for bed. While there is some noise when it needs to charge the battery, it's quieter than any white noise machine I've ever used. Although now I just use a small fan for white noise because it also circulates the air in the bedroom. It's not nice to know that I could still use the fan in the event of a power outage, although those have become infrequent since I bought the C1000. I know that's only a coincidence, but still a little irritating because I might have gone for the C300 back when I bought the C1000 and saved up to buy something bigger to run most of my house and gotten some of the now defunct tax credits as well. Hind sight is 20/20 (maybe even better than that), but I don't regret waiting to buy the C300 until now. It will be used more as a portable power station than my C1000 ever was, which can now be used to keep essentials up and running in the eventuality of a power outage. However, that's a review for another power station.

I charged my phone and flextail pump once and the battery dropped to 60 percent. I was really hoping this pack would last longer than one of my small ones but theres no difference for some reason and i want to return it.

Good power system

I use this daily to charge usb powered devices. Charge it every few days with the 100w panels. With full sun it takes about 3-4 to charge it from 0%. Good for emergency power.
