Overview
The SOLIX C300 (model A1722 — the AC version, distinct from the outlet-less C300 DC) packs unusual versatility into 288 Wh: three AC outlets at 300 W continuous (600 W via SurgePad boost, recorded as surge only), three USB-C ports including two at 140 W — one of which is two-way for 140 W input — plus a 100 W MPPT solar input over XT60. Wall charging accepts 330 W with an official claim of 80% in 50 minutes; no full-recharge time is published, so that field is null. Anker markets a 10 ms 'UPS' switchover (an EPS-style transfer). The 3,000-cycle LiFePO4 pack carries a 5-year warranty, long for a unit this size.
Variant note: AC version (A1722 / SKU A17221Z1), disambiguated from the C300 DC (A1726): the DC variant has no AC outlets, 7 ports, 6.17 lb, a pop-out light, a 3-year warranty, and no UPS feature per Anker's own comparison data. Solar bundle variants excluded.
Data note: The base 'Go Without Solar' variant showed 'currentlyNotInStock: true' in page data at check time, but the product remains an active official listing — status current. 600 W is Anker's SurgePad boost figure, recorded as surge only. acRechargeTimeHours null: official sources give only partial claims (wall 80% in 50 min; USB-C 1.8 h and solar/car 2.5 h to 80%). Site spec data lists '3× NEMA 6-20' AC outlets — a labeling error for a 120 V/300 W unit; count 3 corroborated by 'AC Output x3' on the official A1726/A1722 landing page. Weight converted from the official '9.1 lb' (no metric given): 4.13 kg. Dimensions converted from inches ×25.4. No pure-sine claim found in parseable official sources — waveform unspecified. Official user guide is JS-rendered and could not be parsed; no values taken from it or any retailer.
