Anker “SOLIX” Solar Battery & Generator Systems – Portable, Powerful, Expandable
Anker has moved beyond just portable power banks into serious solar-battery / solar generator territory with its SOLIX line. These are modular, high-capacity, high-output power stations that double as battery storage, ideal for backup power, portable off-grid setups, or supplementing grid power with solar inpu
Key Features & Technology
Uses LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery chemistry — safer, longer-cycle, more stable than many lithium battery,
High cycle life: many Anker battery systems are rated for 3,000 cycles to about 80% capacity, which gives long service life.
Expandable / modular design: you can increase capacity via expansion battery modules.
High power output: Anker units offer strong continuous AC output for many appliances and devices; some models can also deliver high surge outputs.
Fast solar recharge input: supports high solar-panel input wattages, allowing charging via solar.
Multiple ports and versatile outputs: AC outlets, USB-C, USB-A, car/DC ports, etc. Many models are built for portability (wheels or handles) or for home backup.
Types / Models & Capacity / Power Ranges
Here are some of the main Anker SOLIX models & expansion-battery options, with their capacity, output, and typical usage:
SOLIX F2000
Capacity: ~ 2,048 Wh (about 2.0 kWh)
AC Continuous Output: ~ 2,400 W
Solar Input: up to ~ 1,000 W MPPT solar input
SOLIX F2600 + BP2600 Expansion Battery
Base unit: ~ 2,560 Wh capacity
AC Output: ~ 2,400 W continuous (with surge higher)
With expansion, capacity can go up to ~ 5,120 Wh in some setups.
SOLIX F3800
Base capacity: ~ 3,840 Wh (≈ 3.84 kWh)
AC Output: ~ 6,000 W continuous power for many units; some models support split-phase 120V/240V outputs.
Expandable capacity: up to ~ 26,880 Wh (≈ 26.9 kWh) using multiple expansion batteries.
Various Expansion Battery Modules
Eg: “BP2600” module (~ 2,560 Wh) used with F2600 to double capacity.
Some battery packs are built to add on to higher base units (F3800) to scale storage.
Strong Points & Advantages
Here are what people like about Anker’s SOLIX line:
Excellent power output vs. capacity: Able to run many high-current devices, or multiple devices simultaneously.
Expandable storage: start with a base battery and add expansions later. Good for those who want to grow usage.
Solid build with good safety and long term use — LiFePO₄ chemistry, decent warranties.
Good for solar input: high MPPT solar input lets you recharge using panels reasonably effectively.
Versatile ports and power output options — AC and DC, USB, etc. Useful for off-grid, emergency backup, etc.
