Overview
The F3800 is Anker's whole-home-class portable battery and the first unit in this index to publish a genuine 240 V output rather than 120 V only. Its official spec table states 6,000 W continuous across 120 V and 240 V with a 9,000 W surge, delivered through six NEMA 5-20 120 V outlets plus one NEMA 14-50 and one NEMA L14-30 240 V receptacle, each rated to the full 6,000 W. Storage is 3,840 Wh of LFP rated '3,000+ cycles'. Charging accepts a maximum 1,800 W from AC and 2,400 W of solar across two 1,200 W inputs. Expansion is documented at the unit level rather than as an ecosystem headline: up to six 3.84 kWh expansion batteries, up to two F3800 units, for a stated maximum system configuration of 12 kW and 53.8 kWh. The spec table states a UPS switch time under 20 ms.
Variant note: Base standalone F3800 unit. Distinct from the F3800 Plus, from bundles pairing the unit with 400 W solar panels, expansion batteries, transfer switches or the Smart Home Power Kit, and from the 2x F3800 + Double Power Hub configuration. The BP3800 expansion battery is an accessory, not a separate indexed entity.
Data note: Values are corroborated against BOTH the official ankersolix.com F3800 specification block and the official A1790 user guide, checked 2026-07-29. The manual's Specifications table independently confirms capacity, chemistry, AC input, total AC output, UPS switchover, dimensions and net weight, so the record is held at high confidence. WEIGHT CONFLICT NOW RESOLVED: the web spec block states 'Net Weight: 132.3 lb' and the page's embedded data '60 kg / 132 lb', while the manual states 'Net Weight 60 kg / 132.2 lbs'. The manual's explicit metric figure is authoritative and 60 kg is recorded; the three published pound figures (132, 132.2, 132.3) differ only by rounding. EXPANSION NUANCE: the manual states expansion 'up to 26880Wh' (one power station plus six 3,840 Wh batteries), whereas the web spec block states a 53.8 kWh 'Max. System Configuration' that additionally assumes a second F3800. maxExpandableCapacityWh records the 53,800 Wh system ceiling, and the 26,880 Wh single-station ceiling is preserved in provenance rather than merged. NO WAVEFORM CLAIM: the manual's Specifications table contains no output-waveform row and the string 'sine' does not appear anywhere in the manual, so outputWaveform remains 'unspecified' rather than inferred. numberOfAcOutlets=8 counts six 120 V NEMA 5-20 plus the NEMA 14-50 and NEMA L14-30 240 V receptacles; the schema's port vocabulary has no 14-50/L14-30 key, so all eight are recorded under ac_outlet with the breakdown in the note. rvPortPresent=false: the specification block lists no NEMA TT-30 receptacle, and this site defines that field as a TT-30-class outlet. The page's 'EV & RV Charging: Direct charging via NEMA TT-30P or L14-30 ports' line is marketing describing cables/adapters and is not receptacle evidence for a TT-30 output. mpptPresent, carChargingSupported, outputWaveform, cycleLifeThresholdPercent and acRechargeTimeHours are null/unspecified because no official statement was found — not because they are absent from the product. Dual-voltage 6,000 W is stated as a single continuous rating covering both 120 V and 240 V, not as two separate ratings.

Use cases
- Whole-home and large-circuit backup at up to 6,000 W continuous
- 240 V loads (well pumps, central AC, EV charging) via NEMA 14-50 or L14-30
- Heavy job-site tool use with 9,000 W surge headroom
- Multi-day off-grid operation when paired with expansion batteries
Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- 6,000 W continuous / 9,000 W surge — the highest published output of any battery in this index
- Only indexed battery with official 240 V output (NEMA 14-50 and L14-30, each rated to 6,000 W)
- Documented expansion to 53.8 kWh / 12 kW across up to two units and six expansion batteries
- 2,400 W solar input across two independent 1,200 W ports
- Officially stated UPS switch time under 20 ms
Weaknesses
- 60 kg — a wheeled appliance, not portable in any practical sense
- AC recharge is capped at 1,800 W, modest relative to the 3,840 Wh pack; no official 0-100% time is published
- No NEMA TT-30 receptacle, so a 30 A RV shore-power cable needs an adapter despite the marketing reference to RV charging
- Cycle life is published as '3,000+ cycles' with no stated capacity-retention threshold
- Solar and waveform detail is thin on the official page: no MPPT statement and no pure-sine-wave claim found

Sources and provenance
Every core field below carries the exact claim text it was normalized from, the official source, and the date it was checked. Policy: official manufacturer sources only for core specs; retailer and marketplace pages are never used as canonical sources. See the methodology for the full source hierarchy.
| Field | Normalized value | Raw claim | Source | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
batteryCapacityWh | 3840 | Capacity: 3,840Wh | Official spec page — Manual Specifications table independently confirms: 'Cell Capacity 51.2Vdc 75Ah/3840Wh' (80 cells, part number 32140FS-15000mAh). Page title and og:title also concur. | high |
continuousAcOutputW | 6000 | AC Continuous Output: 6,000W, 120V&240V Dual Voltage | Official spec page — Manual Specifications table confirms: 'AC Output Power (Total) 6000W Max', with the 120 V outlets rated 2,400 W each and the NEMA 14-50/L14-30 pair rated '120V/240V~ 25A Max, 60Hz, 6000W Max'. Single continuous rating covering both voltages; not a boost-style figure. | high |
surgeAcOutputW | 9000 | AC Surge Output: 9,000W | Official spec page — Recorded as surge only; never merged into continuous per policy. | high |
numberOfAcOutlets | 8 | 120V AC Outlet: 6× NEMA 5-20(20A) / 240V AC Outlet: 1× NEMA 14-50 (Max. 6,000W) 1× NEMA L14-30 (Max. 6,000W) | Official spec page — Two adjacent spec rows joined with ' / ' for a single quote; 6 + 1 + 1 = 8. | high |
batteryChemistry | lifepo4 | Battery Chemistry: LFP, 3,000+ cycles | Official spec page — Manual Specifications table confirms: 'Battery Type LiFePO4 Cell'. Product page body also states 'EV-grade LFP batteries with 10+ years of lifespan and 5-year warranty.' | high |
acInputW | 1800 | AC Input Recharge: Max. 1,800W | Official spec page — Manual Specifications table confirms: 'AC Input Power (Charging) 1800W Max', with input rated '120V~ 15A (3 hours Max), 12A (continue), 60Hz L+N+PE'. No official 0-100% AC recharge time was published, so acRechargeTimeHours is null. | high |
solarInputW | 2400 | Solar Input Recharge: Max. 2,400W (2× 1,200W), 25A each | Official spec page — Maximum across two independent 1,200 W ports, normalized to the total per the solar-input rule. | high |
solarInputVoltageRange | Up to 60V open-circuit per solar input port | The maximum open-circuit voltage of each solar input port is 60V. If you want to chain the solar panels in series, the total open-circuit voltage must not exceed 60V. | Official product page — Stated as an upper bound only; no lower operating bound published, so no range is claimed. | high |
weightKg | 60 | Net Weight 60 kg / 132.2 lbs | Official manual (PDF) — Manual Specifications table, explicit metric figure. Resolves the earlier web-only conflict: the site's spec block says 'Net Weight: 132.3 lb' and its embedded data '60 kg / 132 lb'; all three agree at 60 kg once rounding is accounted for. | high |
dimensionsMm | {"l":702,"w":388,"h":395} | Size 27.6×15.3×15.6 in / 70.2×38.8×39.5 cm | Official manual (PDF) — Manual Specifications table; 70.2 x 38.8 x 39.5 cm converted to mm. Matches the web page's embedded '702 × 388 × 395 mm (With 65 mm Wheels)'. Wheels-included measurement. | high |
passThroughCharging | supported | AC Input Power (Bypass Mode) 1440W Max | Official manual (PDF) — A dedicated bypass-mode input rating establishes pass-through operation. Note the bypass ceiling (1,440 W) is below the 1,800 W charging input. | high |
carChargingSupported | true | Car Recharging (120W) | Official manual (PDF) — Manual contents list a car-recharging section with a rated input. The separate 'Car Charger Output 12V 10A' spec row is an output and was not used. | high |
maxExpandableCapacityWh | 53800 | Your power station can be connected with expansion batteries to increase the capacity up to 26880Wh. | Official manual (PDF) — SCOPE CONFLICT preserved: the manual's 26,880 Wh is a single power station plus six 3,840 Wh expansion batteries, while the web spec block's 'Max. System Configuration: 12kW, 53.8kWh' additionally assumes a second F3800. The 53,800 Wh system ceiling is recorded in the field; this manual quote documents the stricter single-station limit. | medium |
usbCMaxW | 100 | USB-C Output: 3× 100W, 300W in total | Official spec page — Per-port maximum recorded; 300 W is the shared total. | high |
cycleLifeRating | 3000 | Battery Chemistry: LFP, 3,000+ cycles | Official spec page — Published as '3,000+' with no capacity-retention threshold, so cycleLifeThresholdPercent is null and the floor of the claim is recorded. | medium |
maxExpandableCapacityWh | 53800 | Max. System Configuration: 12kW, 53.8kWh | Official spec page — Corroborated by 'Expandable Capacity: Up to 6 × Expansion Batteries (3.84kWh each)' and 'Scalability: Up to 2 × F3800'. This is a documented maximum system configuration, not a single-unit capacity. | high |
upsEpsMode | ups | UPS Switch Time: ＜20ms | Official spec page — Manual Specifications table confirms 'UPS 20ms' and the product overview notes only the 'Left three ports have UPS function' — UPS covers three of the six NEMA 5-20R outlets, not all of them. | high |
appControl | true | Wireless Connection for App Control: WiFi & Bluetooth | Official spec page | high |
warrantyYears | 5 | Warranty: 5-year warranty | Official spec page — Stated without a registration condition, unlike some competitors' 3+2 structures. | high |
rvPortPresent | false | 120V AC Outlet: 6× NEMA 5-20(20A) / 240V AC Outlet: 1× NEMA 14-50 (Max. 6,000W) 1× NEMA L14-30 (Max. 6,000W) | Official spec page — Negative finding recorded from the full receptacle list: no NEMA TT-30 output is published, and this site defines rvPortPresent as a TT-30-class receptacle. The marketing line 'Direct charging via NEMA TT-30P or L14-30 ports' describes cabling, not a TT-30 receptacle on the unit, so it is not treated as receptacle evidence. | high |
