Recharging with solar
The Anker SOLIX C300 accepts up to 100W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 375Wh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours).
Solar can’t fully keep up. An Xbox Series X uses about 510Wh a day at 3 hours of use, more than the Anker SOLIX C300’s best-case solar harvest. Solar will stretch the runtime but not sustain it.
Tips
- The Series X peaks around 170W while gaming.
- You’ll still have about 130W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- The Anker SOLIX C300 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
