Anker SOLIX F3800: Powerful protection from winter blackouts
A blackout is a blackout, whether it happens during the cold winter months, hurricane season, or a big storm. But the prevailing issue with winter blackouts is that you’re also dealing with cold weather, maybe even frigid temperatures. That could mean life or death in some situations, especially if your family isn’t prepared. The Anker SOLIX F3800 portable power station has a 3,840-watt-hour capacity and offers 6,000 watts of output. That is absolutely massive from a power station standpoint.
To put it into perspective, it’s enough power to keep a 4,000-watt central AC or heat pump going, power up appliances, and much more. It can keep a TV going for up to 20 hours, a WiFi router going for over 40 hours, charge your average laptop about 61 times, power a mini fridge for about 30 hours, and so on. Also, at any time, you can expand up to 53.8 kilowatt-hours with expansion batteries, so it’s modular. Just add batteries as needed to boost power capacity and that’s it. The SOLIX F3800 can directly power RVs, and directly charge EVs, and it can be charged in a multitude of ways, including via 2,400 watts of solar power from solar panels.
Nick Mokey, Digital Trends’ Editor in Chief, has had a chance to test the Anker Solix F3800 in person. “This thing is an absolute monster,” he says. “It’s one of very few power stations you could treat just like a gas generator and backfeed your entire home in an emergency, no problem.” With the 240V output, that even includes energy monsters like electric clothes dryers and well pumps. Compared to other power stations its size, he especially appreciates the upright, wheeled form factor, which makes it as easy to glide around as rolling luggage.
It is the ultimate home power backup solution, but it can also be used off-grid and for other scenarios, too. For example, say you want to keep your power tools going in the backyard but don’t have a long enough extension cord. You can use this power station. Or, if you want to have a backyard movie night? Bingo. How about powering your RV gear while on the road? Yep, you can do that, as well. Honestly, having an Anker SOLIX F800 power station available, when you need it, is one of the smartest decisions you can make any time of the year. Even more so when winter blackouts are a threat.
