Anker SOLIX F2000 Portable Power Station, PowerHouse 767, 2400W Solar Generator, GaNPrime Battery Generators for Home Use, LiFePO4 Power Station for Outdoor Camping, and RVs (Solar Panel Optional)

I looked at several units, and found that all of them have about the same specifications. For me, this one was the clear winner because of the wheels, it's SUPER easy to transport! All its competitors state they are also "portable power stations", yet they are big, bulky, heavy, and not so easy to transport. For anyone that's thinking of buying other similar units, don't bother since they are annoying to transport around. Even moving them a distance from your garage to the backyard is painful. Although it doesn't sound very heavy, these units are all big and very awkward to carry, they can easily hurt your back. It would definitely require two people to lift without potentially tweaking your back for longer distances. The Anker SOLIX F2000 on the other hand, was as easy to transport as your suitcase at the airport. If you are going to set it and forget it, there might be one unit that is slightly better but it does cost more. Additionally, the Anker charges fast enough, very similar to other units, and for me that is quick enough. The phone connectivity feature isn't that useful of a feature, but nice it has. The unit is easy to operate, so intuitive you don't need to read the user manual. The only warning for all these units is that you MUST charge them every so often (typically every 3 months). If you forget, and the batteries completely drain, you'll end up having a heavy useless paperweight. Make sure to set a reminder to do this quarterly. The total current draw on this is also very respectable and I love that you can charge it with solar panels and even add a second battery on top of it. Again, I highly recommend it, even if I bought it at full price. I ended up buying it during the Amazon Prime sale, still a bit pricey, but worth every penny.

Solid quality and functionality. This solar gen. unit and panel feel built to last the test of time. Ease of use means that teaching the wife and kiddos how to care for the setup is simple. Having the 2000+ Wh remote/offgrid power availability is convenient especially the built in wheels and luggage style top placed telescoping handle and definitely the 400 Wh big solar panel aids the ability to regenerate the unit in 5-6 hours.

[updated 5/31/25, a four star experience now Since my last review, I experienced a power outage—something I usually expect in the fall when PG&E struggles with high winds—but this one came earlier. Fortunately, my battery setup (Anker F2000 + F3800) performed flawlessly as a giant UPS. To enhance protection, I added a few APC and CyberPower UPS units between the servers and the Anker batteries. Since these smaller UPS units are designed to catch even minor power fluctuations, their event logs are a good diagnostic tool. One APC unit recorded just a single event since being connected to the battery system. That’s a strong indicator of system stability and reliability, in my opinion. During the outage, the battery setup (F3800 and F2000 with BP2000) supported multiple servers drawing around 2000 watts for approximately 4 hours. I’m very pleased with the performance. I also had the opportunity to test the PS200 solar panel—it worked exactly as expected. If budget permits, I plan to add more panels to fully leverage California’s sunlight and make my Anker UPS project even more robust. Anker’s support has also been excellent. Through several conversations, they helped me understand both the limitations and potential of these batteries. Their responses were timely and informative. While I’ve come to understand that the charge/discharge limits in bypass mode are set for safety under a standard 15A circuit, it would be great if users had more flexibility for 20A or even 50A circuits, at 120V or 240V—similar to what newer models like the Bluetti Apex 300 offer. Still, I appreciate that Anker prioritizes safety in their design choices. When dealing with large battery systems, that’s critically important.] First and foremost, this product easily deserves a 4–5 star rating if used strictly as a portable battery. However, in my use case — using it as a large-format UPS — it’s more of a 3-star experience. Not because the unit doesn’t work, but because the documentation and specifications are confusing, and it took multiple trials to fully understand how it actually operates. I’ve used multiple Anker SOLIX units (F1000, F2000, F3800), all of which specifically mention they can function as UPS devices, with “less than 20ms” switching time. While that’s not ideal for highly sensitive electronics, the appeal for me was the larger battery capacity and significantly more kWh available than traditional UPS systems like APC or CyberPower — which typically last only 10–20 minutes under heavy load. When I saw Anker’s UPS claim, I was sold. But here’s where the confusion starts: 1. The “less than 20ms” switchover This language is vague. Based on community testing, it’s actually closer to 16ms, which is enough for sensitive equipment to lose connection temporarily. Most of my PCs survive the switchover — so at first, I was impressed. 2. AC Load Limit in UPS Mode I connected my F2000 to a dedicated 20A/120V circuit, expecting it to handle up to ~2,200W. But I found that the AC output consistently tripped around 1,400W in UPS mode. This was confusing, since Anker support told me the F2000 should handle 2,000W continuous, 2,600W peak. They suggested resets and video evidence, but after many attempts, the overload behavior persisted. Eventually, I realized the issue: in UPS mode (aka bypass mode), the AC output is limited by the input power, which is 1440W max from a 120V/12A AC source. There is no hybrid inverter assist in UPS mode — unlike true online UPS systems. So 1440W is effectively your ceiling. 3. Tried the F3800, Same Story Hoping the larger F3800 would improve things, I ordered it directly from Anker. It supports 1800W AC input, so I thought maybe the UPS mode would allow more output. It doesn’t. All SOLIX units are limited to 1440W AC output in UPS (bypass) mode, regardless of their advertised total AC output (2600W for F2000, 6000W for F3800). In fact: • The F2000 has 4 UPS ports • The F3800 has 3 UPS ports But both are limited to a total of 1440W in UPS mode. ⸻ 🔍 Final Thoughts: This use case — leveraging Anker SOLIX as a true UPS — is likely rare, but it’s an important one for people with 24/7 systems like servers, NAS devices, and routers. I plan to continue testing: • How well the 16ms switchover works in long-term real-world usage • Whether batteries degrade under heavy, always-on UPS operation • How charging methods and outlet types affect usable power Right now, I’m splitting 1000W across both the F2000 and F3800. It’s not elegant, but it works. Still, it’s frustrating to hear marketing talk about 6000W AC output (F3800) or 2600W (F2000), when in reality, actual usable output in UPS mode is constrained by charging input and outlet logic — all of which is poorly documented. ⭐ Verdict: 3 stars Anker’s hardware is promising, but the lack of clarity in UPS behavior, limitations per mode, and port activation logic leads to a frustrating user experience for edge cases like mine. More transparency in specs would go a long way. ⸻

This station is well worth it. It is a great power source and able to recharge with solar. It holds its charge and has helped me on many jobs.

I bought this because it was good "value for the money". This product came well-protected in a large -- with five layers of protection to be removed before you get to the product: Outer Box, corregated crush layer, inner box, foam padding, plastic bag. Better to tackle this unpacking with two strong people not one weakling [me]. Weight: 67 lbs. Actual device is similar in size to a smallist rolling picnic ice chest, or large "carry on" [but very heavy!] suitcase. I unpacked it by repeatedly tipping it on its side, cutting tape and folding back box tops or bottoms until that layer could be pulled free. Allow about an hour to get it out of the box and plugged into 120V the first time. All the charging in/out ports are pretty well hidden behind trap doors. With the help of a flashlight in my garage I found the in port for the heavy duty 120V "in" charging port, and plugged the device in using the heavy duty cord -- please don't try to use a light duty, or even medium duty extension cord -- charge this thing directly from an outlet using a heavy duty cord. It turned on right away, said it was 83% charged already, and was adding charge at a 1000 watt rate -- basically using up 2/3 of a standard 15 amp wall circuit, so don't put anything else "heavy duty" on that circuit while charging this device. Initial impression: Happy, packaging could be designed to make it easier to unpack, but I was very happy how well the packing protected it. It comes with three "charge the device" cords: a short heavy duty cord to a 120V standard wall outlet, 12V "cigarette" charger to car -- I have no idea how much wattage that draws from a car -- better research it! And a connector to four of the company's solar panels.

I purchased this with high expectations from all the positive reviews and product reviews on YouTube. I am unfortunately very disappointed. ** See Update at end of review! The product came with 2 200 watt solar panels and all the connection cables to hook them up to the Power station. I chose the 2x200 Watt version because that way, if you damage one panel while camping you still have 1/2 of your generation capability remaining. The 400watt panel configuration offered no such advantage. I just got this and immediately set it up for testing and to familiarize myself with it. It is quite easy to understand and get set up however, in testing the setup (in my North Central California home) I found that the most I can get out of both solar panels combined was about 210-220watts of input. Testing with them individually attached, it about 80-90watts per panel. or about 40-45% efficiency. This is in an unobstructed, cloudless sky (no haze) under direct sun with the panel positioned optimally for the angle of the sun. The results were the same/similar over multiple days and multiple hours of testing. When I called Support they took me through confirming my set up was correct, resetting the power unit to factory defaults, and verifying the firmware was the latest version. Then the phone disconnected, there was no call back, and all contact since then has had to be thru email/web site. Once I explained all of this in the report and sent it to them…i received what appears to be a canned response About Luminance, Angle, and Temperature of the panels and how these factors lower the efficiency of the panels - but no addressing my email, report of power production problems or of my support call. PATHETIC! For the lack of support reasons, and especially since there is a NO RETURNS Policy - even when defective…I would recommend caution when purchasing this product from this Seller! I will update this review should I get a better reply from Support of help in repairing or replacing this unit with one that works as advertised. ** Update!! I was finally contacted by support with an apology for the lack of support and the hassle and they sent me 2 new 200 watt solar panels without need to send the original under performing panels back. After hooking up the new panels and testing at mid day with the angle of the panels confirmed to be oriented optimally for midday california sun on a cloudless day (no haze) the new panels produced at about 60% efficiency…far better than the 40% I was getting from the 1st set of panels. While I am still not happy with the overall performance of the solar panels, the battery itself seems to work flawlessly and getting a no hassle set of panels to replace the original panels makes it a worthwhile purchase. Considering that I can hook up all 4 panels and get the full 400watts that 2 panels are rated at seems like a hassle in itself, at least I have 400watts of DC Solar Input at the original price. My advice: If you are buying this system or from this manufacturer, immediately upon receipt test out the setup to ensure that you are getting the promised performance out of your unit. Additionally, I purchased the add on accidental damage insurance offered on Amazon as it recently paid for a microwave oven which had failed just outside of the manufacturer’s warranty period.

Okay, where to start? First off, this "Anker PowerHouse 767" isn't a device - it's a beast - a real beauty in the world of battery power stations. I've named mine "Zeus" because let's face it, this baby churns out energy like a god. So, I guess that makes me Prometheus, stealing fire and bringing it to my electronics... or maybe I'm just a dude with too much free time, either way, this powerhouse is a force of nature. The product description says it can output up to 2300 watts. For you non-engineering types, that's a whole lot of juice. Like, "light up a small town or charge a T-Rex-sized robot" level of power. Frankly, I was skeptical, until I tried running my jackhammer with it. Yes, you read that right, my JACKHAMMER. Because why have all this power if you're not going to use it to break some concrete? To my astonishment, Zeus didn't even break a sweat. The Anker PowerHouse 767 chuckled at my feeble attempt to challenge its might and continued QUIETLY humming along with the grace and composure of a ballerina on steroids. While most people might use this to power their camping trips, I've decided to redefine the game. Why should the wilderness have all the fun? Now I bring Zeus to all the party circuits. I literally carry an entire club's worth of power in my trunk. DJ running out of juice? No problem. The bouncy castle is deflating? Child's play. The neighborhood blackout? Call me the neighborhood superhero! Who knew that power could be so portable and personable? Not me. I bought this on a lark and now I’m the life of every party, the savior of every blackout, and the king of random jackhammering. If life gives you a chance to buy the Anker PowerHouse 767, you take it. I must caution, though, with great power comes great responsibility. I wouldn't recommend trying to jumpstart the sun if it ever goes out (NASA, take note!). Also, Zeus might not fit into a standard Christmas stocking. (Believe me, I tried.) In all seriousness, the Anker PowerHouse 767 is fantastic. Its performance is nothing short of electrifying (pun totally intended) and the reliability is unmatched. I'd give this thing 6 stars if I could. Buy one. You won't be disappointed. And if you are, well, maybe you just need to find a jackhammer.
