Anker C300X – Too Good to be True for $199?

Last Updated on December 1, 2025 by Jose Amoros

Whenever we talk about anchor we almost always mention R&D they seem to be one of the only  companies that’s out there actually innovating new products and not just replicating new versions of  their older stuff and so when we saw the initial ads of this brand new C300 X slung over some guys  shoulder ready to go on an adventure it came as no [Music] surprise so welcome back to the lab  where our opinions cannot be bought today we’re taking a look at this brand new C300 X this is the  bigger version of the two brand new C300 power stations that Anker just launched this is the  version with the AC plug like the wall outlets on the front there is a DC version as well that just  doesn’t have these plugs it’s strictly the USBs and the 12volt car socket and stuff like that’s  it’s got like a little popup light on the top it’s about 50 bucks less and.

This is actually  pretty much a direct replacement to the older whatever 525 or whatever they call that little  thing and that one just felt like a miniature power station and this one kind of feels more  like it’s built with a purpose and as always we will leave some links down below to this unit  and any other discount codes that we can get for you guys to save you guys a little bit of money  but before we jump into our experience with the C300 X we’re going to hit you guys with a super  quick 60-second spent tear down because you’re probably not all familiar with this brand new.

Low power station first up this thing obviously passed the tiny baby lift test it weighs a total  of 9 lb you could shot put this thing across the Atlantic Ocean this has a 288w hour battery Bank  rated for 3,000 Cycles it’s got a 300 W inverter you can charge this guy up with just a regular 120  volt wall outlet you can charge it with solar you can actually charge it with a USBC.

As well which  is kind of a cool feature and in terms of ports on this thing you have three 120 volt regular house  outlets on the front here you have three USB C’s although one of them is rated for 140 WTS and is  a reverse charging socket so you could basically charge a device from there but you could also plug  a cord into that and actually charge it with that same USB C slot which is kind of cool there’s also  a Suba and just a regular 12vt car socket it’s got the anchor classic unibrow light G on the  top.

I actually really love these lights they’re super bright very convenient to have and of course this unit integrates perfectly with Anchor’s app it allows you get on there and change a couple settings that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to access and basically just control this thing from afar so in case you’re not directly beside.

It you can still change what’s happening with it and the  price of this guy right now is $249 although it’s already on the a launch sale hopefully we  can get you guys a discount before this video goes live as well to make it even cheaper for  you but regardless that’s not actually a terrible price for what you’re getting now $200 may not be  a ton of money but when you’re spending 200 bucks on a power station you still want to make sure  it works so the first thing that we did with this little guy was run an efficiency test on it to see  just how much power the inverter and the fans and everything on this actually consume this inverter  is rated for 300 W so we hit it with a load just under 300 and this power station should have been  able to run that load for about 57 minutes it actually lasted for about 50 minutes which is  87% efficient which on a small power station is actually pretty good this unit also advertises  that it can charge itself up within 1 hour so we went ahead when it was completely drained  and plugged it into a regular wall outlet inside.

Of our house and we were able to charge the thing  from 0 to 100 in an hour and 8 minutes so pretty close to being on par with what it advertises the  solar input works it’s a limit of 100 Watts with this guy though so it’s only going to charge in  about 3 hours if you use a solar panel.

I will say too when you plug a solar panel directly into this  it takes a little bit longer than a normal Power Station to kind of recognize the panels been  plugged in so if you get one and you’re messing around with it just give it a minute it’s not as  quick to respond to solar input as we’re used to seeing and you can also charge it with this 140  W Port the problem that we keep running into is that we actually don’t have a cable thick enough  to get 140 WS into this we noticed that most of our cables limit around the 70 watt Mark you’d  need a pretty decently thick USBC.

To actually get 140 wats into this power station we also wanted  to see how much this little guy could surge it’s rated for 300 WTS but if you accidentally try to  ask it to do a little bit more can it keep up and it like it can but it really doesn’t want to usually these little power stations they’re not really meant to Surge very  much but the good news on that is when we did the efficiency test we basically did.

It at 300 watts so it’s a very capable 300-watt inverter it’s not like some of these other ones that you run them at 300 WTS.

And it dies in half an hour something  really impressive with this guy too was the sound test it makes basically no noise if you look through here you can see the two little fans going so this is really good if  you’re using it for like a CPAP machine or if you’re sleeping with it in a tent when you’re  camping or something like that it really won’t make much noise at all and the last thing we  test with a little guy like this is pass through if you are charging something off of one of these  outlets and you notice the power station’s getting low can you plug it into to either like the wall  or a solar panel and then continue to power what you’re powering and use the rest of the  power to charge up the battery and you can pass through works on this guy with both AC and.

With solar which is just good news there’s actually quite a few things that we like about the CX, but the first one is going to be its size if you actually compare it to this older 5 it’s actually a 522 Power Station it’s actually kind of obvious why.

I like this design a bit more it’s really not  much taller at all but it’s significantly narrower and everything is just kind of laid out in a much  easier to use format and this also just feels a little bit more natural the way everything is  kind of laid out it has a really nice little handle right here for you to grab it weighs  absolutely nothing so your grandma can pick this up and move it around for you and it also comes  with that little strap the strap to me seems like a bit of a pain in the ass you throw it over your  shoulder and slamming into your arm it’s like a hard plastic unit I’m sure that there’s some  people out there that will find it useful we also like that this basically there’s two versions of  this power station this.

Is the AC version it has the AC ports along the bottom if you don’t  need those if you’re just like a creative you’re trying to charge your drones or computers phones  equipment like if you don’t need these plugs you can actually save a little bit of money and get  the DC version with just without that and that’s a really cool feature that normally we don’t see  normally it’s like it’s all or nothing you guys also know.

I’m a big light guy so I absolutely.

Love when anchor puts these little unibrow lights on their power stations they’re actually pretty  bright they only run about 3 Watts it’s also useful just in your tent if you’re camping  or doing stuff like that you can kind of use this thing as like a little bit of a navigational tool  there’s also eight ports on this unit you’re able to take this and use it for like a 12vt  camping fridge maybe not for a whole weekend but you can use it to power that fridge you can use  it to power your Wi-Fi router and some light so the power goes out speakers projectors all that  kind of like small little stuff 300 W.

Is not enough to power like a coffee maker or a kettle so  if you’re going like glamping and you’re going to bring your coffee maker this is not going to work  for that thing that I just wish was a little different is the solar input I get that it’s  a tiny power station but if we could get just like 200 WTS of solar into this you’d be able to charge  it in just over an hour I think that 3 hours to charge this little guy that you could deplete  even faster than that I don’t know.

I just I feel like it’d be cool if we you could see a little bit  of a higher solar input on a power station like this especially if it’s kind of geared towards  camping and that kind of stuff you don’t always have the best Sun you don’t get to choose the  weather on your camping trips uh so if you only have an hour or two of daylight it’d be cool to  be able to fully charge this thing during that time and speaking of the solar panels uh anchors  panels we’ve talked about this before.

In other videos anchor panels are kind of just expensive  they’re a little bit more than like the industry average right now they actually of course have a  on their 100 W solar panel their panels tend to be a little bit more than other brands so  you might be better off just finding the specs of what the solar input is for this and  buying a panel from a different brand honestly at the end of the day for just over 200 bucks  this thing is a pretty good deal and get we’re actually kind of starting to get a little close  to Christmas I think this will make a really good gift you can almost put this thing.

In a  stocking at the time we’re posting this video at least shop solar is supposed to have a  wicked bundle on this with a solar panel on their website so make sure you guys check that  out check the description for any coupon codes or anything else otherwise hanker good job on  doing something new and different again and not just being a follower that is all we got for you  guys.

I catch you guys’ next time thank you so much for watching peace out and stay charged.
