Impressive Power Solution – Even More So When You learn It’s Quirks
I purchased an Anker Solix F3800 in March of 2024 with the intention of using it as I develop my property in Idaho. It has proven to be an invaluable tool, and as I’ve used it in various scenarios, I’ve learned a lot about its quirks and undocumented “features”.I use the F3800 to power my tools and recharge batteries, to provide light where I’m working, run my well pump and more recently to provide power to my 40ft. Class A diesel pusher motorhome. It’s been quite reliable, but it does have a few issues.First, should you purchase one, be sure to hook it up to wifi and update the firmware. Prior to doing that, I was unable to use AC power (from my RV Generator) along with solar to recharge it. I’m currently running firmware 2.1.5, which does allow simultaneous AC and DC charging.Second, the MPPT controllers built in for solar are optimized for Anker’s proprietary solar solutions, which are relatively expensive. Pay close attention to how you configure your solar panel wiring to optimize charging. Assuming you can find the right combination of serial/parallel connections, you can charge the F3800 with up to 2400 watts of solar power, but it’s not easy to get to that number.Third, the built-in BMS limits charging current when the batteries are colder than 10c/50f. I’ve discovered that you won’t be able to put more than about 710 watts DC or 685 watts AC into the F3800 if the battery temp reads below these figures. (Quick tip – put a heavy AC load on it to get those electrons flowing and warm up the batteries in the morning!)IF the batteries are above 10c, it will charge quickly with solar or AC input. I manage to push about 1500 – 1600 watts into it at peak sunlight with my two strings of panels, and at that rate it only takes a few hours. If you’re charging a warm unit with AC power, it will charge completely in under two hours, assuming you have not limited the AC power for charging via the app.Overall I’m very pleased. the phone app (I use IOS) is good, but could be improved by adding input and output power over time. It has graphs, but since those numbers are constantly changing, there’s no way to track usage.Overall, I’m very pleased with my purchase. Anker support is responsive, although it took almost a week of emails back and forth to find out that my “charging problem” was because the batteries were cold and current was being limited by the BMS. For those of us who understand solar, batteries, BMS, etc. 50 degrees F is a pretty high threshold under which to limit current. Hopefully Anker will reduce that to a more reasonable level in a future firmware update. With such a high temp. hurdle the usefulness of this device will be less than desired as the cold weather approaches.For those wondering, it *does* allow you to use a plug-in EV charger to charge your EV. I’ve tried it on my Rivian R1T, although the capacity of the Anker is a drop in the bucket for an EV with a 131kW battery!Highly recommended due to typical Anker quality, flexibility of use and expansion capabilities. It offers a reasonable value proposition when purchased on sale or in bundles.

Amazing backup!
Iâm not one to leave reviews, but this product exceeded my expectations! It can literally run a whole house, minus the ac and water pump. The solar charging is great! The app is easy to use! Great backup solution for any type of power outage. Best part is you can leave it inside and it hardly makes any noise!

Review of the Anker SOLIX F3800
The Anker SOLIX F3800 has proven to be an impressive addition to my power setup. The setup process was straightforward and user-friendly, which was a pleasant surprise given the complexity of some power systems. The unit’s ability to connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi made monitoring and controlling the system convenient, especially using the iOS interface, which was a breeze to install and navigate.Visually, the SOLIX F3800 looks fantastic once installed. The design is sleek and modern, blending well with the surrounding environment. The unit’s build quality is outstanding, and it was also very well packed, ensuring it arrived in perfect condition. The inclusion of wheels and a telescoping handle, along with locking wheels, makes the 130-pound unit much easier to maneuver despite its weight.Iâm currently using the SOLIX F3800 with an AC Transfer switch via the 220 VAC output. While this setup works well, I’ve encountered a limitation: the 220 VAC output is disabled when the unit is connected to AC input power with the 220 VAC output enabled. This prevents me from leaving the AC Transfer switches in the “Generator” position. However, this issue does not occur if connected to the DC charging inputs, typically used for solar panels. To work around this, I’m considering purchasing DC power supplies for the DC inputs, which would add approximately $500 to the project but should resolve the problem.One area where I feel the product could improve is the manual. While the instruction manual is available in the app and can be downloaded, I would have preferred a professionally produced hard copy. Overall, though, the Anker SOLIX F3800 is a robust, well-designed power solution that has met my needs with only minor caveats.

UPDATED REVIEW: they replaced the dead unit.
PART 2After being sent a unit that wouldn’t charge (see part 1 below), Anker help desk with a 2 business day reply time suggested I “try a different outlet”. I’d done that and more (multiple outlets, resetting breakers, resetting system, updating firmware, trying 2 other power cables including an Anchor one).They agreed to send me a new unit. That arrived in 4-5 days, and I didn’t waste time making sure it would work.It began charging immediately, so I am updating this review. It is going to need to impress me to get that 5th star though. Other unit is dead weight now so Anker has provided a return shipping label, this is appreciated.PART 1″Won’t charge, waiting for company response, do not buy”It arrived late (had an open ticket with them since it required signature at delivery). This was only an inconvenience.But after powering it on, and checking basic functionality I realized that it won’t charge. I tried multiple charge cables, including another from a neighbor who has a working unit. I did firmware updates, resets, different outlets, downloaded the instruction manual, searched online for similar issues….And had to open a ticket and wait for that while we went through a power outage.I’ve seen 1 star reviews get the merchant’s attention, so I’m leaving this here in the hopes that they can quickly resolve this. I will fairly update this review. Amazon says this item can’t be returned.

The Good:I’ve bought this unit about 2 months ago to provide off-grid power to a 400 square foot shop. I was able to connect several existing solar panels of different sizes into the two solar inputs with great results. I’m able to run lights, a medium size compressor, table saw, and a dust collector with ease. This is probably one of the best value power stations that offer 240V output. DC and 12V ports all work well, and I was able to get 100W output from USB C without issue. I was also able to easily connect some existing Lifepo4 batteries to extend run time (I have both a 12V and 24V battery). The unit is very quiet, the display is easy to read, and the App works fairly well. Its nice being able to see how much power is being consumed for both AC and DC outputs. I sent a few inquiries through support in the app, and got a detailed and timely reply from Anker. I would rate my support experience as very good. I’m happy with my purchase and would recommend this product to others.The Bad:-XT60 connectors are not included. This is a little frustrating, but not a big issue. Make sure you buy 10AWG cables if you want to get max power.-60V max input makes panel selection a little tricky, but its still possible to get over 2000W of solar input.-I’ve had a couple instances where wifi disconnected and the unit needed to be reset to reconnect. This only took a few minutes, but it would be frustrating if you’re not home.-The App does not track power that has been captured. I’d love to be able to see how much power was generated or used.

I like the design, expandability and split phase 240v output allowing the generator to power your entire home during a power outage. However if you don’t have enough solar input to charge it back up you can not use a gas generator to recharge it from the 110v input while supplying 240v on the output. Anker support was very responsive and each time i asked for help they responded the next day. They said it is possible to charge the unit via DC while using the 240v output as long as the DC voltage is less than 60v. The other weakness is that the max solar input is 60v DC which might be a problem if you have more than 2 panels in series. They do provide 2 cables to help wire them in parallel.
