SOLIX F3800 Plus Power Station and Double Power Hub, 7,680Wh

I purchased this as part of a home emergency backup. I found out that it can take a ton of solar, too and fast charge with a 240 v generator. I have it hooked into my home through a generator port and with a soft start on my AC, 2750 of solar and a generator I can go forever. I bought the extension battery with it, now I want more. I have actually had fun with it. It is very high quality and easy to use and you can expand it as your needs (and budget) expand. It puts out 6000 watts and can surge a bit higher. It does cap out at 25 amps so it will run just about anything.

I have a 30A generator input into my home panel so have a manual switchover process. It's been fine for the few times we lose power. I have an inverter generator that handles emergency load (fridge, freezer, gas furnace blower, computer gear) but firing it up does take some time. I wanted to have a quick source of power that could drive things for a few hours but still allow recharging via generator for long outages (our last was five days a bit over a year ago). I did not feel the need to buy additional batteries with this setup, though it's nice to have that option. Tested out this set by running through my switchover procedure, using SOLIX instead of inverter. Worked like a champ, power quality is of course clean (that's why I replaced my old generator with an inverter- the power was so dirty the GFCI circuits kept tripping). Turned on a "typical" number of devices that I'd expect to support during an outage and the Solix projected over four hours of run time. I then connected my inverter generator to the SOLIX 240V input and started it up. Display showed about 2400W input (inverter can output double that) and a short recharge time (made sense since SOLIX was nearly fully charged). Inverter stayed in low idle with that light load which is another plus (quiet)! I know these input/output values can be tweaked using the app. I have a surge suppressor/circuit tester that I normally left inline between the inverter and the house and did hook it up to the SOLIX. It confirmed something useful. Normally the 240V outlet is floating neutral, and indeed before I connected the SOlIX to the house, the tester showed an open ground. Putting it in EV mode resulted in a "good ground" (bit misleading, but indicative of a change in status) showing which confirms what I've read- EV mode is bonded neutral. When I took it out of EV mode and hooked it up to my house, the ground then showed good due to the input outlet being properly grounded. So long story short, I don't have any concerns with ground on this device. The build quality is impressive, not only the SOLIX but the input adapter. I expected basically a cord and thought the price seemed high, but this thing has an impressive box in the middle working the magic. That DOES mean that if it fails then it may be costly, but it seems substantial so I'm not worried.

Actually delivered earlier than expected. The product was faulty - called Anker and they shipped a replacement right away.

The cost is perfect it takes care of my two refrigerator and lights. Highly recommended!!!

You asked to order so much of this stuff, it's better to paint your regular electric bill. You would have to give them advanced money for 20 years. To get a regular bill, they figured out the same solution. How to make money all at once? And screw over you and get paid.And after you paid it off, it'll burnt out

Exceptional value for the money. I needed a UPS that would allow for enough power to run my computer systems for at least an hour after the power went out. This system fits that need perfectly. Additionally, for longer power outages, I can attach a solar array and keep the battery charged indefinitely. The system is easy to set up and far exceeds my expectations. If you want a UPS system with a lot versatility check it out.

I give this product a solid 4⭐️s because it is a fantastic tool against power interruptions. But no 5th ⭐️ because A. The marketing sets higher expectations than I user should have and B. Operating the 3800 is not as simple as I would like. If you need to use it only once or twice a year, basic steps like how to turn it on and get power flowing are easily forgotten. Okay, for me, anyway.

Excellent portable power house when clubbed with the Anker home panel or the alternator. Gas and solar are the icing.

The units work well. There a bit quirky, outlets shut off depends how you charge. That makes no sense to me. Ive got the generator adapter with all sorts of power, yet plugs are disabled unless i buy an adapter. It would make sense to configure the plugs way you want. I believe my unit is miswired slightly… All my 120v outlets have voltage present while running off the battery 25A plug has 120v Definitely need to test more. Ive been sourcing all sorts of adapters to see if i can make it work for my setup. Id say theres potential. Will probably purchase the home power panel kit.
