Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Anker Solix C200X power station is awesome! It's super tiny and light, so it's easy to take anywhere – perfect for camping or just keeping your phone charged when the power goes out at home. It juices up pretty fast, too, and handles all my gadgets without a fuss. Definitely a great buy if you need portable power!

This item is great for charging cellphones, laptops and other portable devices. It doesn't come with a charger so I used a backup Apple 140w power supply to charger it with the included cable to get the fastest recharge speed which takes about 1.5 hrs to go from 0 to 100%. For those that do not know the model C200X includes the strap that the basic C200 does not include. That is a $29.99 option if you buy it separately from Anker. The app is a great addition although I wish it included a sleep timer.

Love it didnt expect to do what it does still learning how to use it battery life is amazing on this bad boy

TLDR: The Anker Solix is a small, but extremely powerful battery bank that can rapidly charge your phone, laptop, tablet, etc. often multiple times over. PORTS 1 x Solar Panel Input 1 x 140W USB-C In/Out 1 x 100W USB-C Out 1x 15W USB-C Out 2 USB-A 12W Out PROS Extremely fast recharge with appropriate charger Ability to rapidly charge most supported devices Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to monitor system vitals and performance Compact CONS The labels are printed so small and in a gray font that makes them difficult to read. USE The Anker Solix supports charging rates up to 140W. Using a compatible charger and “100W Rated” USB-C to USB-C cables, I was able to achieve a best charge rate of 134W. Total recharge time is extremely quick compared to comparable products. Charging from 50% to 90% takes just minutes, but after 85 – 90%, the charge rate slows dramatically to help protect the battery pack. This isn’t a problem unless you just have to have that last 5 – 10%. I was quite impressed at the recharge rate. Similarly, the Solix has 2 high output USB-C ports. 1 supports 100W out and 1 supports 140W out. I finally have a small, portable power bank that can charge my 2-in-1 laptop at a full 100W. This is the smallest form factor power bank I’ve had that can output power at this rate. I’ve been able to charge up my 2-in-1, my phone, and my Galaxy Tab A9 and still have power left in reserve. Quite a bit actually. Enough for a few more phone charges. As an added bonus, if your device supports rapid charging, like my HMD phone does, the Solix will juice it up in no time, tying or beating my best 110V powered chargers. The Solix is compatible with the Anker app. The Anker app is a convenient way to monitor system status from your phone or tablet and relays information on system input and output in nearly real-time. The Anker app is simple and intuitive and allows you to easily connect to the Solix via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. However, wireless communication takes up precious resources to power them. Thankfully, Anker has included a handy on/off switch to turn this off saving power. Well Done!! CONS There isn’t much not to like about the Anker Solix. The only thing I can find I remotely dislike about the Solix is the horribly hard to read print on the ports. Between the small font and the gray tinted lettering, there isn’t enough contrast between the ink and the body of the Solix, making it hard to read the labels. CONCLUSION The Anker Solix is a great piece of hardware. A person would be hard pressed to find a better small profile battery bank. It charges up quickly, charges devices quickly and is very portable (slightly larger than a 12oz can of soda). Anker has a well-known reputation for producing quality products and the Solix is no exception. The Anker Solix is a 60,000mAh battery bank that packs a bunch of features and performance in a small, smart package. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Since owning my anker i was very impressed by the power it puts out and the remote monitoring from your phone.

TL:DR - Does it charge? Yes!. Does it charge fast? Yes! Can it charge my laptop, Meta Quest 3 headset, and my iPhone, 0 to 100%? Can it charge my portable speaker? Yes! Does it show wattages being used? Yes. Does it come with a strap, so I can attach my Meta Quest 3 for what seems like infinite play time? Yes lol! Long story short, it works really well. Highly recommended. — I wanted this mainly for my (glamping) camping trip with friends and kiddos coming up in July. This is where we’ll need it most for lamps, cameras, phones, speakers for music, etc. I love the fact it has a solar panel attachment which I plan on getting to augment this product, but I don’t have it so I can’t speak to how well it works. I’m going to assume the Anker Solix solar panel will be fine on the Anker Solix battery pack lol. My first test was to drain my 65 Watt charging laptop to 0% and charge it up. And unsurprisingly it did that and did it well. It went from 0 to 100% in about an hour and 40 minutes with me using the laptop to write and edit this review on Chrome using Google Docs and watching YouTube. By the end of the charging session, the Anker Solix had 49% battery left. I have a 64 WHr battery in my laptop. My laptop was set to performance mode, while plugged in. And it was still able to accomplish this. I’m assuming had I not used the laptop, and just charged it, it would have left more in the tank for the Anker. I’m not 100% sure if using a WiFi connection would improve battery performance on the Anker, but I didn’t want to sign up for an account just to use the Wifi features. So I left it on Bluetooth. For the most part, the remaining time usage stayed around 2 hours during the charging of my laptop. My second test was my Meta Quest 3 headset. The Anker Solix comes with a large strap, that I ended up just using to plug in my Meta Quest 3 while playing games. My VR tolerance isn’t the best, but I was able to have an entire VR session lasting around an hour and a half ending with 100% battery on the headset. Now I fully understand the battery isn’t the most comfortable for VR gaming, but it’s a nice option for me since I don’t have anything else. And it worked. Normally I’m down to zero. And finally I used it to charge my phone and it worked well. I didn’t find anything I have that would take advantage of the 140W slot, which makes me wish I had one of those high powered charging Android phones. I also did a test of charging multiple devices at once, but it wasn’t from zero to one hundred. The issue with multiple devices is it doesn’t show on the screen. You’ll have to use the app to see what each port is doing. It also does lower the charging amount per all the ports. My iPhone was charging around 10 watts, my laptop around 45 watts, and my PS5 Elite Controller around 10 watts as well. This wasn’t a constant though, it would fluctuate between 5 watts to 10 on my controller and phone, and 35 Watts to 55 watts on my laptop, when all three ports were used. I tried to add something to the USB A ports, but it seemed to lower the wattage even more per device. It wasn’t bad, but at that point, I’d not use the devices and just let them charge. Now this could also be a situation where the devices themselves didn’t need much charging so it drew less power since each device was at 80% or higher at the time of the test. And lastly, how long does it take to charge…. Well after a ton of work getting it to 0%, it took a grand total of 3 hours and some change to get from zero to 100% not that bad at all. The timer on the screen said 2.5 hours, but I think after a certain point, it starts to thermal throttle so to speak and slows down to keep the battery safe. I charged it using a 96 watt Macbook Pro USB-C charger and it was accepting 90 watts of power for the charge. At 50% it stated about an hour left, and at 90% it really slowed down. In conclusion, I think this is a fantastic battery and will come in handy for me in so many different situations. It’s heavy sure, but not out of control. It’s bulky, but I think Anker did a fantastic job on the compactness considering how much battery it’s packing. Highly recommended!

Anker has always been my go-to brand when it comes to high-power charging cables and compact wall chargers. Their products have never let me down, so naturally, when I saw the Anker Solix C200X portable power station drop, I knew I had to get my hands on it. I was super excited to finally add a power station that perfectly complements my growing lineup of Anker gear, including my trusty 100W GaNPrime wall charger and USB-C cables. This thing is an absolute beast in a compact shell. The moment I unboxed it, it was clear Anker wasn’t playing around. It's built solid, slightly heavier than I expected, but when you're packing 60000mAh (192Wh) of juice, a bit of extra weight is more than acceptable. It comes with an attached handle for grab-and-go use, and Anker even includes a carry strap for added convenience. It comes with sufficient port selection with 3 USB-C ports (one being a 140W two-way input/output) and 2 USB-A ports. The 140W USB-C port allows ultra-fast charging of the power station itself and your devices. You also get a 100W input for solar charging, which I haven’t been able to try yet, but I’m already eyeing Anker’s 100W solar panel for some future outdoor camping and game day trips with the fam. Charging performance is phenomenal. The station came pre-charged at 84%, so I paired it with my 100W Anker wall charger and the included 2ft 140W USB-C cable, and it reached 100% in around 10-15 minutes. That’s insane for a power station of this capacity. I’ve already used it to charge my iPhone 15 from 26% to 100% in about 30 minutes, run a portable fan during my daughter’s dance competition, and power my laptop and iPad at the same time. Every device ran flawlessly. No overheating, no lag, and the power station held up like a champ. The cherry on top is the Anker mobile app. Real-time monitoring, input/output tracking, and battery stats all from your phone. It just adds that extra layer of polish that makes it feel premium and thoughtful. This Anker Solix C200X power station might be my favorite piece of gear from them yet. It’s practical, well-built, smart, and powerful. Whether you’re out on the road, working remotely, prepping for a power outage, or just need to juice up a bunch of devices at once, this thing delivers. No fluff, no gimmicks, just pure reliable energy in a compact body. Anker’s already been my favorite charging brand, but this product easily one of the best additions to my charging line-up. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a portable power solution with endless potential.

The compact Anker Solix C200X portable power station is a great option for those looking for a smaller sized light duty charging solution. This small unit also features a solar input (solar panel sold separately) for those that want the convenience of charging while camping, or wherever there are no power outlets available. I have used power stations from other manufacturers in the past, but this is the first I have used with USB-C ports included. With modern technology, having fast charge USB-C ports is a necessity, and should be standard on all units moving forward. This unit provides two USB-A and three USB-C ports, as well as the solar panel input. The solar panel input also doubles as a car charging input, but you will need to purchase that cable separately as well. With a 60000mAh battery and 200W max charging capability, this little unit packs enough power to charge my camera and drone batteries when I have several shoots on the same day. That said, I am currently charging up to three drone batteries, and up to two camera batteries at a time and I feel like that pushes the limit of what the internal battery can handle before it is exhausted. If I was relying on the C200X for a weekend trip, I would consider purchasing both the car cable, and solar panel to be sure I was ready at all times. Another option for more demanding situations, such as extended trips and camping, would be to simply buy one of Anker's larger Solix solutions. For light duty daily use, and how I personally use it, the C200X has worked for my camera gear flawlessly. With 200W max charging capability, and the combination of what you are charging, your charging speed may vary. For instance, if you are trying to charge a laptop, phone, gaming device, and a couple other batteries all at the same time, you will see a drop in overall charging speed. This will also be the case if you are trying to charge with a slower rated USB cable. If you are charging one item at a time, with a high speed cable, and using the correct port, you will see great charging speeds. There is an app available for this device that simply mirrors the main LCD display information (see my screenshots). This app will also tell you if a firmware update is needed, so I would recommend downloading it for that alone. Straight out of the box, no firmware was needed for my unit, but that could change for you depending on when it was purchased. The design of the unit is ergonomic, compact, and well thought out. Weighing roughly four pounds, it is easy to carry to remote locations with the included hand strap, or shoulder strap, and it can easily be tossed into a backpack if preferred. The build quality feels premium and built to last. With this being a newer product line for Anker, the only thing I can mention that I would like to see changed in future versions, would be the text on the front of the unit above the ports. This text is extremely small and very hard to read. Perhaps they should increase the size, or make it backlit on the next version. The LCD screen is very easy to read and includes all of the information needed. This display includes icons showing input and/or output charging speed, as well as the estimated remaining time for your charging to complete. It also clearly shows the percentage of remaining internal battery. Keep in mind that you will need both a fast charge capable source (wall charger) and high speed cables to take advantage of max speed capabilities when charging the unit, or your devices. I have purchased a few 1.5’ high speed charging cables separately for less clutter in my bag and where I set up my Solix. I already had a high speed USB-C wall charger that works perfectly to charge the unit itself at max speed. If you are in the market for a solidly built light duty personal charging solution, the Anker Solix line is a great option from a trusted brand. ***PROS*** Anker provides a three year warranty on this product Solid build quality Lightweight and very portable Hand and shoulder strap both included USB-C fast charging capability Solar input if needed ***CONS*** No included fast charge wall charger No car charging cable Text above ports is hard to read Only one 2’ USB-C cable included

The Anker Solix C200x is a small but mighty power station that’s ready to go anywhere. In the box you get the power station, usb-c to usb-c cable, a small strap for hand held or a sling for over the shoulder carrying. You charge it via the usb-c or you can purchase the optional solar panel or car charger for charging on the go. In terms of ports you get two USB-A ports and three USB-C ports, one 15 watt, one 100 watt and one 140 watt. Using it to charge my AirPods two different pair, I charged them @ around 2 watts. While charging my iPad Pro, the maximum I saw was around 30 to 35 watts with it averaging in the mid 20s, this was using the 140 watt port. Charging my 12.9 iPad Pro, it took a little over an hour to go from 61 percent to fully charged and the power bank dropped about 10 percent. With the anker app it allows you to monitor the state of the power bank with your phone. This is by far the smallest power bank with this kind of power I’ve seen. The Solix C200x gives you the power to charge everything from phones, tablets, drones, laptops and so much more in a compact package that’s lightweight, powerful and ready to take anywhere.

We live in a world full of battery powered electronic devices. They all need to be recharged regularly. Big, powerful batteries like this one come in real handy for keeping things powered up on the go or in worst case scenarios like a power outage or emergency. Anker is becoming one of the most respected names in the charging business, and their Solix lineup of backup battery power is excellent. This unit can handle multiple power-hungry devices at once and charge them quickly and efficiently. It is perfectly suited for an active outdoor lifestyle since it is small, lightweight and includes a carry handle as well as an alternate shoulder strap. With 3 USB-C ports and 2 USB-A, as well as solar capability if you add on the available solar panel, it is very versatile. It is app capable for keeping tabs on its SoC and what each port is currently doing while charging other devices. One of the 3 type C ports doubles as the charge port for the battery itself, and it has a built-in screen for charging status and remaining state of charge and approximate usage time available. It can easily handle things like my laptop, Nintendo switch, and iPhone simultaneously giving each one a fast charge with plenty of power remaining afterward. I can even continue to use my laptop while charging off of the Solix and it will charge my laptop fast enough to stay ahead of what I am using. I only have one complaint about it which is that it does not include an AC power brick to charge the battery itself. To charge efficiently it requires a powerful one which can also be expensive, and you are on your own to provide that. The 65W power brick I bought to charge it with can add 25% in about 45 minutes. Thankfully it is variable depending on what you have so you can use almost any USB-C power adapter so long as it is 20W or higher, but it is frustrating that you must figure out your own way to recharge the battery as out of the box it is incomplete in that regard. Otherwise, I am very happy to have this battery in my arsenal to be available for emergencies or travel. It is small enough to be very portable, yet powerful enough to recharge a multitude of electronic devices. It can fully charge my laptop and still have 75% remaining for the rest of my stuff. Anker continues to prove that they are a leader in the charging industry, and I recommend this to anyone looking to add to their preparedness or camping lifestyle.

The Anker Solix C200X is an impressive portable battery, and easily on par with Anker’s higher-end Solix products in both build quality and performance. Last summer, I picked up the much larger Anker Solix F2000 since I live in a hurricane prone area where power outages are common. It’s been a lifesaver during several outages, as it will push my refrigerator, desktop computer and router at the same time. However, the one downside to the F2000 is its large size, which isn't practical for quick portability. That’s where the C200X shines: it packs significant power into a much more compact and portable design. The C200X features three USB-C ports: 15W, 100W, and a high-output 140W port. For context, an iPad Pro typically uses 30–40W, and a laptop draws around 60–100W. The 140W port is powerful enough to support high-performance laptops, including gaming models and full docking stations. Anker’s app isn't necessary but can be a surprisingly useful tool at the same time. It lets you monitor power usage for each port, which comes in handy when checking your USB-C cable capabilities - many budget cables cap out at around 50W, so I've used the wattage output meter to identify my different quality cables. The solar input is the same input that came with my F2000.  However, my solar panel is 400 watts, and this battery is only rated for a 100-watt solar panel. I couldn't find any guidance if the panel would cap out at 100 watts, or if the 400 watts would be overkill and damage my battery, so I didn't try hooking it up... but it does fit! I’ve been able to fully charge my iPad Pro, Samsung Galaxy Book, and Acer Zenbook, twice each, on a single charge of the C200X, with battery life still to spare. The onboard display also shows real-time power consumption, which is a great touch for managing your battery life. The C200X includes a built-in hand loop for carrying and a detachable shoulder strap for added convenience. I doubt I’ll use the strap much, but it’s well-made and clips into the metal rings near the handle. Final Thoughts - What really sticks out to me is the quality. I was curious if the C200X would truly live up to the Solix name or if it was a more budget-tier option borrowing the branding. But it absolutely lives up to the standard, and is a worthy, more compact sibling to the larger Solix power stations.

Pros Fast charging & versatile output: With up to 140 W USB-C fast charging and multiple USB-C/USB-A ports, it can quickly recharge itself and your devices. Users report going from ~84 % to full in under 15 minutes with the right charger, which is exceptional for its size. Portable & well-built: Lightweight and easy to carry with its built-in handle and optional strap, it’s truly designed for mobility without compromising durability. Great real-world performance: Owners have successfully powered laptops, phones, fans, and other gear simultaneously with no overheating or lag. The companion app adds convenience with real-time monitoring. Cons No AC outlet: Unlike larger stations, it lacks a standard 120 V plug, limiting use with traditional appliances. Limited capacity: 192 Wh isn’t enough for long durations on high-draw devices; expect it to run smaller electronics rather than heavy power tools or full-size fridges for long. Port labels can be hard to read: A minor but recurring gripe is that the labeling on the ports is faint and difficult to see in low light.

We do conventions and events each year, and the occasional trip out to where finding a power plug might be a trip in and of itself. We always have a portable charging pack with us, but these only work for our phones or smaller devices or charge slowly. To fix that, I’ve been wanting to get a portable power station that could at least charge my laptop and phone on a single charge, if not multiple charges. That’s why I picked up the Anker SOLIX C200X, as Anker is one of my go-to brands for phone battery packs and cables. Pros: - High Capacity 60,000mAh (192Wh) in small package. - Multiple Ports. - Quickly recharges with the right charger. - Easy to read display. Cons: - None. Setup: Anker is my go-to choice for portable batteries, cables, and phone accessories in general as I’ve purchased many of these for myself and family, and I’m still waiting to have an issue. I’ve got high hopes the SOLIX C200X will be the same. Right out of the box, the SOLIX C200X was Ready-To-Go with more than 80% charge. You can start using the charging station right away, no software needed. But I do recommend downloading the Anker app to manage the power station. Software: Ankers app is very simple, allowing you to easily see and manage your smart devices from your phone. The app lets you see the remaining usage time, total power, temperature, input and output along with what connections are being used. Helpful information for keeping track of usage and knowing when you’ll need to recharge. Charging the Station: Charging time will depend on your method of charging, with the fastest charging time being 1.5hours using a 140W USB-C charger and the C3 USB-C port. Otherwise, a lower wattage charger can be used but will take longer to charge. I’ve used the chargers for my laptop to charge it up as I usually have one of them in my backpack, either a 65W or 90W USB-C charger. One of the best features I found was regardless of what charger I was using, the SOLIX C200X would display an accurate estimated time to recharge on the display. It may take a few seconds for the charging to ramp up to the highest wattage, but I found the estimated time to be fairly accurate. Additionally, you can charge using an Anker Portable Solar Panel, which can provide continuous power while using the power station during the day. This is the ultimate outdoors adventure solution to keeping the phone charged up while still enjoying the great outdoors. Use: Using the SOLIX C200X to charge devices is simple, press and hold the main power button for 3 seconds until the display turns on, plug in device, and let charge. You can charge multiple devices at the same time, though the USB-C ports have different maximum wattages: C1-15W, C2-100W, and C3-140W. This provides fast charging options, which is a huge plus when on the go as the less time spent tethered to a power source means more time enjoying the adventure. There are considerations you will want to take when using the power station outside, such as temperature and weather conditions. Anker list the operating temperature as -4 F to 104 F, which covers a wide range of climates but keep in mind the capacity and charging will be impacted close to each end of these ranges. The sides of the power station have vents for cooling, which means it is not waterproof to rain or snow. You will want to take caution when using outdoors to protect it from direct exposure to water. Carrying: The SOLIX C200X weighs in at about 4.5lbs with the carrying strap, so about a big laptop. It’s noticeable by itself, but when tossed in a backpack or added to gear you’re already carrying it’s not much. The included straps make carrying much easier, along with storing as it allows you to hang the power station up off the ground. Conclusion: Hands down, if you are looking for a portable power station, for your phone or bigger devices, go Anker and you won’t be disappointed. The Anker COLIX C200X is the perfect multi-device portable power station, that not only provides 60,000mAh of capacity, but also can be recharged in under 2hours from multiple sources with the right charger. The compact size and included carrying strap make it easy to take along to any event. I’ll be getting plenty of use out of the SOLIX C200X and will add it to my recommendations.

At this point, I have to begin my review from the start, again. The Anker - SOLIX C200X DC is a great looking power station which delivers 200W and includes a 140W two-way USB-C fast charging ports. It also has a solar charge input which allow up to 100W of solar charging ability. The battery capacity is 192Wh though that needs to be taken with reservation since there are several losses not included that can reduce this figure somewhat. I was surprised with how small this battery is. The whole thing is less than the size of a shoe box and comes with a USB-C charging cable and a strap. It has a squarish profile with rounded corners and edges. It weighs in at 4.2 pounds or 1.9 kg. Included are a 120VAC charging cable (which is the fastest way to charge the unit) and a user manual. It came 89% charged. Beware that it does not come with a solar charger, even though the box calls it a "solar powered" portable generator. I understood that when I got it, so have no complaint. I'm trying to figure out if I will need any special cable when I buy a solar panel, which is my next purchase. It is nice to know how much power is left, and I reassured myself a few times during my test run that there was plenty of juice to get me through the night. I have an addiction of purchasing large power banks, this is the first one I've bought that has the ability to power a MacBook. I've been in situations where I've either forgotten my plug, had the wrong charger, or the wrong cords (100W to 240W). As a backup power source for my phones and pretty much everything else that needs charging, I now carry a stock of strong wires with me. I use a lot of electricity, but it's big enough that I don't have to recharge it all the time. It is imperative that you get some powerful cables and pair this with a powerful wall charger for a speedy recharge. Anker is one of the most reputable companies in the industry, and this is really essential. I own a lot of their product. I brought it along on my holiday trip and utilized it to completely recharge my iPhone 16 Pro Max from 15% to 100% about 4-5 times, and it still had some power remaining. It has a sturdy/durable quality to it - it would withstand conditions at a campsite quite effectively. The Anker mobile app functions well and displays the battery information effectively. I invested time in adjusting the screen brightness and timeout settings, along with the device timeout (which conserves battery when no charger is connected) Overall feedback (in case any of these points are significant to you): - I wish the ports were fitted with rubberized caps to shield against dust and moisture. - Receiving a push notification on my phone when the battery reaches 20% would be great. - This battery cannot be flown with - it surpasses TSA's capacity restriction Overall, I think I made a good purchase with this product. I contacted Anker with a support question and they responded immediately; so that is nice to know they will also provide you with good customer support. Item is very well packaged in a custom box that can also serve as a great gift.

This battery pack has come in handy multiple times to charge all of my devices. Quickly charges anything thrown at it and recharges pretty quickly. It is pretty light given the power output, however, my only gripe with the product is the center button to activate power. Sometimes it feels like it doesn't register the click if it has been idle for some time. The bluetooth connection with the app works great though. Overall very satisfied with the product.

The Anker Solix C200 is a larger battery pack that’s capable of charging a phone over 10 times or even a large laptop at least twice. For how much power it packs, I was surprised at how lightweight it is. This is due to LFP battery chemistry which means not only is it lighter, but the batteries should maintain their charge for a longer length of time. While it is portable, I think it’s too large for airport travel, but perfect for a road trip or anywhere outdoors. It also includes a carrying strap for hiking. You can recharge it via USB-C (Port 3), a 12V car adapter, or solar. Using a 140W wall adapter is the best option as it will charge the battery in about an hour and a half. If staying outdoors, however, most people will probably opt to buy a solar panel or charge from the car. It's a shame, however, that the 12V car adapter is a separate purchase. It supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for the Anker Solix app. The app allows you to monitor its charge level and the status of each port. It can also power devices and charge at full speed simultaneously. Pros - Lightweight for its size - Long-lasting LFP Batteries - 192Wh of Capacity (60,000mAh) - 3 USB-C Ports (1 @ 140W) - 2 USB-A - Wi-fi and Bluetooth for App Integration - Solar Recharging (up to 100W) - Includes Carrying Strap Cons: - 12V car cable not included - No built-in light or lantern mode Overall – An excellent choice for a portable power station as it is lightweight and can provide plenty of juice for laptops, cameras, phones, etc. It’s ideal for road trips, camping or blackouts.

The Anker Solix C200X is a super portable, decently small portable power station with enough power for most USB-C laptops and pretty much any cell phone. Add in remote viewing with the app, solar charging (no panels included though), a carry handle plus carry strap, and you have a super solid weekend (or longer) camping device! I was able to charge my C200X the first time using a 100w USB-C brick, and it charged up fairly quickly. (the Solix reported that it was charging at 92-93w and my pluggable device that lets me check USB-C power it was reporting just over 94w) The app was easy to setup and connect over bluetooth. Once fully charged and connected via bluetooth to my phone, I plugged in my gaming laptop that can charge over USB-C up to 100w. It charged between 92-96w until it started slowing once the power was full. To push it a bit harder, I grabbed my daughter's fire tablet, another laptop, my smartwatch, and my gaming laptop. The gaming laptop stayed over 90w, the other laptop was pulling between 50-60w, the smart watch was plugging 2-ish watts, and the fire tablet 4-5w. The reported temps of the Solix were solid, and while pulling around 150w total, it reported that there was still over 1 hour of usage available. At just over 4lbs, supporting fast USB-C charging, and solar input, I feel the Solix C200X is a solid ultra portable power station that is a great value! Anker with another super solid product!

I love the idea of having a source of backup power for things like cell phones and other electronics in the event of a power outage. This unit is compact and has a bit of heft to it. It might not be comfortable to carry around in a backpack if camping but for around the house, it is a great source of extra energy. I plan to use it poolside to keep my phone and speaker charged during the fun summer months. There are three C ports that provide different levels of power- 15W, 100W and 140W. The 140 is superfast at charging my phone. The screen display gives you the percentage of charge left on the power station. I have been charging my phone for a while and it is still at 100%. I like that the unit does not drain energy when not in use. At least not a noticeable amount. There is an app that allows you to adjust the screen timeout, the screen brightness etc. So far I have not found it necessary to using the power station. It has a port to connect a solar panel. I will definitely look into getting one that is compatible in the future. I will be ready for any outage and will have phone and computer power on demand. The only downside for me, is that the writing on the ports (indicating the wattage), is very small and faint. I need to shine a light to read them!

Anker produces some top-notch charging equipment. The Anker Solix C200X is another win for them. With a small form factor design. This is great for anyone who car camps or wants to have backup USB charging. The design and feel of the power station are premium. You get a strap to attach for carrying. Giving you all day power. The display is bright and clear. It also displays how much power is being inputted and outputted. For USB charging, you get 3 different speeds. You get a 15W,100W, and 140W output. This covers everything from phones to laptops. The 140W will charge almost every modern laptop. That is the Beauty of this device. You can charge your phone, headphones, watch, tablet, or laptop all from one device. You also get solar charging. It is only 100W, but that's better than nothing. A negative for me was that there is no charging to the back of the device. You can only charge it from the 140W USB-C port. So you lose the port while charging. Outside of that. This is a good all-day back-up USB charging. It can fit in a backpack as well. It has the ability to charge a laptop. You have more power in your fingertips, literally!

Anker puts out some of the best portable power stations in my opinion. Every product I’ve purchased from them has felt premium, and their apps are always well-polished and easy to use. The Anker SOLIX C200X is no exception. I wanted a backup power solution for when we travel - mostly because all of our kids have tablets, and finding a way to fast-charge their devices on the go isn’t always easy. This power station has been awesome for road trips and has even proven to be incredibly useful around the house. Just recently, we lost power at home while I wasn’t there to set up the generator. Instead, I had my wife plug our 5G gateway into the C200X to buy some time and keep the kids entertained. Luckily, my gateway is powered via USB-C, and this power station had more than enough juice to keep our internet up and running for the 4 hours we needed it until I got home. For fun, I left it plugged in to see how long it could go - and it powered my 14-watt gateway for 17 hours without breaking a sweat. That said, the only real drawback for me (and the reason I didn’t give it 5 stars) is the lack of a standard 120V outlet. I know it’s not advertised to have one, but I feel like that would’ve made this the perfect power station in its class. USB-C and USB-A are great for most things, but in 2025, there are still plenty of devices (like a TV or certain laptop chargers) that require a traditional outlet. Having gone through this experience, I’ll probably look at something like the C300X next time to avoid feeling limited. I totally understand that adding a 120V outlet comes with higher power requirements and Anker has other models designed for that but it would be awesome if they could figure out a way to include it in a unit at this price point. The app is also great, but there’s a little room for improvement. While I was testing the C200X on my gateway, I noticed the power draw would fluctuate from 8 watts to 14 watts pretty frequently. The app reflects this every few seconds, which caused the estimated run time to jump all over the place bouncing from 14 hours to 17 hours and back again every few seconds. Not a huge deal, but I’d love to see the app smooth this out by averaging the usage over a longer period of time. Hopefully, that’s something they could address in a future update. All in all, the Anker SOLIX C200X performs exactly as expected and has proven to be a great travel companion. It has more than enough juice to keep the kids' tablets charged, and honestly, that’s good enough for me. Next time, I’ll probably spring for a model with a bit more power and flexibility but for what it is, this has been an awesome addition to our travel setup.
