Brief conclusions of the comparison portable power stations

ANKER SOLIX C1000X and ANKER SOLIX F1200 are powerful charging stations but have some key differences. The C1000X has a rated power of 1800W and a peak power of 2400W, while the F1200 has a lower rated power of 1500W but a higher peak power of 3000W. The C1000X offers 4 sockets at 230V and 2 USB A ports, while the F1200 has 2 sockets at 230V and 4 USB A ports, which may be more convenient for users needing more USB outputs. Both devices use LiFePO4 batteries with a charge cycle of up to 3000 times, but the C1000X has a capacity of 1056Wh, whereas the F1200 has 1229Wh, giving the F1200 an advantage in operating duration. The charging time from an outlet for the C1000X is about 58 minutes, while the F1200 requires about 90 minutes. Both devices have a built-in power supply and support solar charging, but the C1000X charges faster from the grid. Overall, the choice between them depends on your power needs and the number of outputs.

Glossary

Rated power

Power that a device can consistently produce for an indefinitely long time without any unpleasant consequences. For normal operation of the charging station, the rated power must be at least 15 - 20% higher than the total power of all devices simultaneously connected to it.

Peak power

Some electrical appliances (in particular, units with electric motors - refrigerators, air conditioners, etc.) consume significantly more energy at startup than after reaching the operating mode. For such a load, the peak power of the charging station must be taken into account - its indicator must be higher than the starting power of the load.

Sockets (230 V)

Total number of outlets with output voltage. This is, in fact, the number of devices that can be simultaneously connected to the charging station without the use of splitters, extension cords and carriers. Accordingly, weaker charging stations have one or two sockets in their submission. Powerful charging stations already have three or more sockets “on board”.

USB A

Full-size USB A connectors are popular in computer technology, they are standardly used in adapter chargers for 230 V household networks and 12 V auto sockets. In charging stations, such outlets are widely used for charging gadgets.

- The total number of such ports can be very diverse ( 1 USB, 2 connectors, 3 ports and even 4), since it allows you to connect for charging, and in some cases for power, various low-power devices - smartphones, tablets, power banks, lamps, etc. .

- The strength of the power. The maximum power output through the USB A connector to the device being charged. Note that different ports of the charging station can output different power (for example, 1.5 A and 2.1 A). In this case, the highest power strength is usually indicated.

— Power. The maximum output power in watts (W) that the charging station is capable of delivering through the USB A connector to one charging device.

Add. ports

Additional input connectors provided in the design of the charging station in addition to those described above.

Connecting an additional battery

Ability to connect an external battery to the charging station to increase the overall energy consumption and, as a result, extend the battery life. This connection is fast and convenient. On the other hand, the battery takes up extra space on the outside, making the whole structure more cumbersome.

Battery capacity

Nominal battery capacity, in fact - the amount of energy that is supposed to be stored. The larger it is, the longer the battery life of the charging station will be, all other things being equal. On the other hand, this parameter also affects the dimensions, weight and price of the battery, despite the fact that an energy-intensive battery is not always required. By the indicator of capacity in watt-hours, you can compare batteries with each other.

Charging time (socket) ≈

Time to charge the portable power station from a fully discharged state to 100% charge when using the power adapter from a household outlet. This refers to the original battery and standard charger.

Charging time (solar panel) ≈

Time spent on a full charge when using the original panel in bright sunlight. In cloudy weather, the charging time of the device from the solar panel can be strikingly different downwards.
