Our Take
The C300 sits between a big power bank and a full-size power station. Anker lists a 288 Wh LFP battery, 300 W of AC output (600 W surge), and eight ports on the Amazon listing: three AC outlets sharing 300 W, a 120 W car socket, two 140 W USB-C ports, a 15 W USB-C and a 12 W USB-A. One of the 140 W USB-C ports is two-way, so you can recharge it from a laptop-style USB-C charger as well as from the wall, a car or solar panels (11–28 V, XT60). Anker says it recharges to 80% in about 50 minutes from a wall outlet, runs at about 25 dB from 3.3 ft, and backs it with a 5-year warranty. 288 Wh is enough to recharge phones, cameras, a drone or a laptop several times, or run a 50 W CPAP for roughly five hours according to an independent review; it won't run a fridge, a space heater or a coffee maker for long, and nothing above 300 W at all. We haven't tested it ourselves.

Why PriceDropIQ Selected It
A power station like this keeps phones, cameras, lights and a laptop charged on a camping trip or through a short power cut, without a generator. The C300 packs 288 Wh, three AC outlets and two fast USB-C ports into a box you can carry in one hand. It's not for appliances above 300 W; if you never need AC power, the cheaper C300 DC does the USB side alone.
Before You Buy
- Check the title says C300, not C300 DC (the DC version has no AC outlets)
- Check the seller (AnkerDirect on the listing we checked)
- Check the wattage of what you plan to run is under 300 W
Frequently Asked Questions
What can a 288 Wh power station run?
Phones, cameras, lights, a laptop or a router, several charges' worth. Anything above 300 W won't run from its AC outlets, and an independent review estimates about five hours for a 50 W CPAP.
How fast does it recharge?
Anker says it reaches 80% in about 50 minutes from a wall outlet. You can also recharge it over USB-C, from a car socket, or with solar panels between 11 and 28 V with an XT60 connector.
Is the strap included?
Not with this listing: Anker says the strap is sold separately. Our photo shows the C300X, a version sold with the strap.
