   I recently took the plunge and invested in the Anker F3800 with an additional expansion battery, and let me tell you, it has been an absolute game-changer for my home power needs. After eyeing this product for a while and reading up on its capabilities, I finally got the chance to put it to the test today, and it did not disappoint. Where I live, power outages are more than just a nuisance—they’re a part of life. So having a backup that’s dependable isn’t just nice, it’s essential. And the F3800? It’s been knocking it out of the park. As I’m typing this out, I’m actually running off the Anker unit, and the switch was buttery smooth. There’s something incredibly comforting about knowing that my house can stay bright and my gadgets can keep buzzing, even when the grid lets me down. What really makes the F3800 stand out for me, though, is how versatile it is, not to mention the added bonus of that expansion battery. The storage capacity is nothing to scoff at, and the fact that I can beef up the power reserve on the fly is a massive win. We’re not just talking about keeping a couple of lamps on here; we’re talking full-blown normal life, uninterrupted, even when the unexpected hits. Another bonus is the EV charging feature—because that’s a slice of genius I didn’t even know I was craving until I had it in my hands. The 240V outlet on the F3800 is a godsend. The idea that I can juice up my electric ride in a snap (for those that need less than 25A) adds a whole new level of security and convenience that I’m all about. Wrapping this up, if you’re on the hunt for a portable power solution that’s solid and dependable, the Anker F3800 with an expansion battery should be at the top of your list. Whether you’re gearing up for emergencies, hitting the great outdoors, or just want a reliable backup at home, this power station is the real deal. Hats off to Anker for this one—they really hit it out of the park!

   Very impressed ! I’ve been using this unit along with 48v server batteries , and it’s been powering my house on bright sunny days, without a glitch.
   On average, we pull steady 1500W (mini-split, Well Pump, small appliances and lights ) , so the occasional 3-4000W draws and the unit has no issues with the demand.
   It’s quite heavy but for our application being stationary , it works well ! I’m not sure if I’d be carrying this thing around camping though.
   Overall, Very good and amazing unit. Recommended

   Says found fault when I plug in my 24 amp EV Charger. Bought this thing and it’s useless as a back up emergency battery for my ford lightning

   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. I’m 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.

   I have a 13kw generator but with this last hurricane, I could not get outside to set it up for over 4 hours. We had to throw out some food in the refrigerator. I decided to bite the bullet and try a battery backup system. I liked the Anker Solix because it provided a 50amp and a 30amp 240v outlets, where others you had to combine 2 units to get 30amp 240v. I received this two weeks ago but finally got to run a test on this unit today, which is the F3800 plus one battery pack. I have a 30amp receptacle wired into the panel, which is what I used to plug my generator into. Mine is a manual switchover whee I have to turn the main breaker off first, connect the generator and then turn the 30amp breaker on to provide power to the home. Instead of plugging in the generator, I plugged in the Anker F3800 using the 30amp outlet. My home is 1800sf, gas heat and cooktop and a 3 ton A/C unit. It ran all of this fine except for a little light flicker when the A/C kicked on. Will probably order a softstart to reduce the initial amp draw. I am thinking of installing an automatic transfer switch and leaving the Anker F3800 plugged into it so I can have immediate power without having to go through the manual process of switching power. I tested the unit for a little over 3 hours, letting the A/C start and stop multiple times. I started out with a total of about 10 hours of run time with just the lights, TV and refrigerator on, pulling between 650-700 watts of power. When the A/C kicked on, it showed about 2 1/2 hours of run time as it was pulling about 3900w. Once the A/C turned off, it adjusted back to 9 hours. After 3 1/2 hours of testing, it showed I still had 8 hours of run time with just the lights, TV and refrigerator running. I know this will not carry me through a hurricane where we lose power for days or weeks but when the battery power is used up, I can start my generator, run the house and recharge this unit. May look at solar panels in the future. Over all, even though it is expensive, it is doing what I want it to do. For those reviews that said the fans are extremely noisy, I did not experience that so they may have fixed it with a software upgrade.

   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.
