Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really great product, and I like the compatibility. It is durable and ready to work when you need it. There are a lot of products out there but they do not have enough wattage to be able to charge the laptops and other smart devices within a reasonable timeframe.

Used it for travel. Not even close to running out of battery.

Amazing charger will recommend this to anyone of my friends and family

This is a very nice portable size charger and very easy-to-use while away on travel. Bought it to ise while at my kids sports events and I love it..

It's really a great charger it lasts a very long time before I have to charge it

My first anker power station and it works great, plan to get a larger one.

Anker is great. I always recommend their cables, power bricks and well, now, battery generators. DJI makes a nice power station too

All expectations meet. Using regularly and no negatives have been experienced so far.

This product is awesome. It works for my daily needs when I’m out of town.

It’s ok but it’s really heavy and the usb port immediately did not work so I think there are some tweaks that need to be worked out

The Anker Solix C200X DC fills a niche that is growing more and more important as the shift to USB-C PD for pretty much every DC device happens. Slotting in between the larger "portable charger" type devices and the full-size "Solar Generators" the C200X DC is a pretty compact device that is limited to just USB power, but it does so for up to 5 devices at a time. #Unboxing and first impressions# The Anker Solix C200X DC comes with a small cloth handle pre-attached with rings to attach a separate shoulder strap that is also included in the package. The shoulder strap itself is surprisingly premium feeling, and overall the device has good build quality. The screen is pretty simple but it gets the job done - there's a fair amount of wasted space that I'd prefer to include a bit more information instead. Pairing the device with the Anker app was a super easy affair. You can use either bluetooth or wifi to connect to the C200X, and with either you get full control and readouts for the power in/out levels. #Using the C200X DC# I already have a small "Solar Generator" from a competitor so I just picked up an XT60 adapter to use my solar panels with the C200X DC. I was surprised to find that it seems to be a tad more efficient and charging via solar. My 100W panel was feeding 92W into the C200X vs about 79W with my other unit. I can't really explain this as both support the same input voltages for the panel - though my other unit is supposedly capable of charging at > 100W. Charging the C200X via USB-C maxed out my 100W PPS charger without issues. I don't have any 140W devices to either charge or be charged by the C200X DC, so I can't provide any feedback on that capability. It does easily charge a 100W PPS laptop and my Galaxy S25 Ultra (which shows the correct "Super Fast Charging 2.0" on screen when plugged into the C200X). I tested out the full 5 port charging capability by plugging two Nintendo Switches in via USB-A, an iPad in the top USB-C port, and 2 laptops into the bottom two ports. I found with the USB-A ports it will maintain about 9W for the Switch and via the topmost USB-C port it will charge at 15W. #Final Thoughts# The Anker Solix C200X is a portable power station that is much more _portable_ than units that include AC inverters. It's lightweight enough that you can at least think about backpacking with it, though the 60k mah is kind of overkill for all but the longest camping trips. I'd definitely recommend this charging station to anyone looking for a step up from the Anker 737 style units without going all the way to an Inverter unit.

This is a GREAT battery pack to have that can keep you going all-day and then some while still not being too big or too bulky to take with you (it's certainly solid though and does weigh a good bit, so that's something to consider if you're planning to take it with you on a hike or something. Speaking of, I think the best use cases for something like this would be for camping / hiking where you're away from power for a long time or for emergencies/power outages. In general usage, this battery does pretty much everything you could want. You can charge two high drain devices (like laptops) at the same time at up to 100W - or one REALLY high 140W device and something like a tablet or phone at the same time as well. The USB-C ports support 15W, 100W and 140W - with the 140W being IN or OUT. I was only able to test 100W in (there's no power brick included and I only have 100W bricks handy) and it works fine and charges reasonably quickly. The included screen is great so you know exactly what's going on with the battery at any given time - state of charge, how much each port is putting out or taking in, time to charge, etc. To me, this makes the Bluetooth and WiFi a bit unnecessary as the connections to the app really just show the same kinds of information, you can just access it remotely. The only time I can see this being helpful is if you put the battery out with a solar panel to charge outside and want to check the status remotely....if you're within Bluetooth range or you're charging outside your house and have WiFi coverage there. But, it doesn't hurt to have the option I suppose. The battery is well-built and should prove to be reasonably durable if used with some level of care. The battery comes with both a hand carry strap and a shoulder strap so you have a choice of carrying style. Anker has been making really polished products for some time now and this is another great example. Now, that's not to say this is a perfect device. The biggest oversight in my mind is that this battery doesn't actually work with USB-C solar panels, INCLUDING the Anker Solix panels - it specifically says in the manual that it doesn't work with them. So you need a solar panel with an XT60 output to charge this battery via solar. Given that Anker sells the Solix USB-C panels under the same branding and with the same style, it would be easy to think they should work together, but they don't. Also, there's no charging brick included with the battery which I knew going in - and was ok with since I have other options - but something worth noting and that you should be prepared for (including such a brick would of course raise the price, so there's a balance there). I won't knock off a star for either thing, but they're certainly things you should aware of. All that said, this is a great, generally well-designed and well-built battery that has the capacity to keep on going and going and the output options to charge a variety of devices, including multiple at a time. So if you're looking to keep the power flowing even when off the grid (or when the grid is off, as the case may be), this is a great choice. Give it a try today!

So, for some reason, I thought this would come with solar charging. But, it simply SUPPORTS solar charging. You have to buy Ankers 100W solar panels from Anker Solix to charge this via solar. I actually had a hard time finding the compatible solar panel, because the Anker Solix website has a few solar panels, but most aren't compatible with this for some reason. The Anker Solix website also lists this product with a 60w solar panel bundled, but it doesn't seem that is sold separately, so seems the 100w panel is the only one you can get separately for this. That aside, this is a really useful high-output power bank. You can charge it via USB-C (only a USB-C cable is provided) and can accept up to 140w of charging. That means you can charge it from empty to full in a little over an hour. It can provide a total of 200w of power at once, across all the USB ports. Though each port can deliver a different maximum power by itself. So the charging port can provide up to 140ww of power buy itself, the one above it 100w, and then the one above that up to 15w. The USB-A ports can provide a shared 12w (so one can use all 12w, or one 2w and the other 10w, etc...). If you do manage to draw all 200w at once, this will drain in less than an hour, but that's a lot of power for most (your typical phone will draw 30-40w at most, laptops that can charge over USB-C typically use 65-90w max). This has LiFePO4 Lithium batteries, which is not what is typically used in phones or laptops (Lithium-ion). Lifepo batteries have lower energy density but are safer and more resilient than Lithium-ion. Meaning, battery life should not degrade as quickly as you might see in your computer or phone, and it should survive many recharge cycles. The app strongly encourages you to create an account, but an account is not necessary. You can pair to the power bank via bluetooth or wifi. The app lets you see power usage by port, estimated time remaining at the current power draw, and battery temperature. Having this available to be able to charge multiple devices (e.g. phone(s), laptop, portable speaker) is super convenient. And then, being able to charge it via solar (if you buy the panels) is a great back pocket trick if you really need to be using it for extended periods away from power.

This review is on an Anker - SOLIX C200X DC Portable Power Station 192Wh/200W. I have been wanting a power station for a while due to working from home now. I needed a solution for when I lose power to keep my laptop going. I have backup internet from my phone but still needed something for power. This is exactly what I needed. My laptop charges by USB-C which is what this power station provides. So not only will it keep my laptop going, I can also keep my cell phone charged at the same time. There is still three more plugs that can be used. If some are used at the same time though, output is limited. I'm not sure what the minimum wattage is to charge it but I tried one of my plugs and it wasn't strong enough, so I had to find a stronger wall plug. Charge time can be as quick as 1.3 hours if you have 140W. 45W will take almost 4 hours. The size of this station is perfect and doesn't take up much room on my desk. It is less than 5 lbs. It is thick, so I think it would survive a fall. It has open grills on both sides to help with cooling. It has a short built in strap but also comes with a longer strap you can hook up to it. For those really extreme conditions there is a solar power option to keep it going. The screen will provide the station percentage, temperature, how much wattage is being put out and how much operating time is left. Setting up the power station in the Anker app was easy. It pretty much displays the same info as the screen but you can control some simple settings with it. Device timeout, screen brightness, screen timeout, device name and Wi-Fi setup are among those settings. The user manual is built into the app so you have everything you need in the app.

Bottom Line: The Anker SOLIX C200X DC Portable Power Station does its job of charging up to 5 devices simultaneously up to a total of 200w. Pros: charge up to five devices simultaneously across 2 USB-A and 3-USB-C ports; can be charged with solar or car adapter (sold separately); easy to read screen with useful information; fairly compact and relatively light with handle and strap Cons: does not include charging brick; Bluetooth, WiFi, and app functionality are unnecessary Review: Our family is constantly on the go with travel sports, which means long car rides and extended periods of time spent on fields for practices, tournaments, and games. The ability to charge higher powered device while on the go with the Anker SOLIX C200X has been really useful. For instance, for the longest times out of the house, we usually have an iPad, a Nintendo Switch, and an ASUS ROG Ally, the latter of which has the shortest battery life (typically less than two hours) and highest charging requirements (65w). All three can be charged simultaneously with plenty of additional capacity. The unit can be charged with a charging brick between 18w and 120w, although, for obvious reasons, it is going to take more time with lower wattage chargers. It’s not a huge deal, since I and most people would probably set it to charge overnight. That said, the power station only comes with a USB-C cable. I know that devices typically do not include a charging brick anymore, but since this is a device that is used for charging, it would be have nice to have a brick in, say, the 35w range, included, so I don't have to pull a brick off of one of my other devices overnight. The charging station has a built-in screen, which shows several pieces of useful information. This includes the total watt output, percent remaining on the unit’s battery, and estimated battery time remaining (based on current output). I found this useful when charging multiple devices to see how much energy was being drawn from the unit, since many modern devices now have variable charging rates. For instance, I was ablate monitor my wife’s M1 MacBook Air, which drew between 35-45w at any given time. The power station also has an indicator for a wireless connection, which can be set up through Bluetooth or WiFi using the smartphone app. Although I suppose some people might like this feature, it seems rather unnecessary. The built in screen shows almost the exact same information as the app, and so I find it easier to just look at the screen than fiddle with my phone. That said, the app will show power draws by each individual port versus just the total output on the screen.

Since Helene I've been buying back up power packs, solar panels, and a generator. I'm sure having an elongated power outage like Helene caused is low, but I'd rather have the power available for just in case. The biggest issue during the outage was comfort. In a 90F house and 80% RH it was pretty rough. At least having power to push a personal fan would have been better than having nothing. At just over 4lbs the Solix is light enough to lug around, but heavy enough that you know it's there. It's great for a trip, but keep in mind that with the DC version there are no AC outlets. There are plenty of ports to plug a multitude of devices but you'll be limited to 200w total. So do the math to make sure there's enough output to run all the devices you plan on plugging in. At full charge and load you can expect under 1hr of use since the limit is 192Wh. The 140w USB-C port can easily charge most laptops and even allow some gaming laptops to stay at full charge until the back up runs out. I don't really see a scenario where I'd need to waste the power on gaming, but the option is there if needed. The main use would be to charge phones, tablets, run a hotspot, power a small USB fan, etc. For the lighter duty work, the Solix 200 DC is perfect. The Solix does have an app, but I don't see a point in installing an app that shows whats on the display. I like to limit the amount of apps I have on my devices. The Solix is a great unit for emergency purposes or to have with you anywhere you need some minor power or recharging.
