Having
an
alternative
power
source
ready
for
sudden
outages
or
extended
off-grid
adventures
is
never
a
bad
idea.
Thankfully,
the
Anker
Solix
C300X
DC
Portable
Power
Station
is
a
neat,
affordable
option
that
loads
you
up
with
enough
power
and
USB
ports
to
charge
several
devices
concurrently.
And
right
now,
Wellbots
is
offering
it
to
Verge
readers
for
$148
(about
$52
off)
with
promo
code
VERGEANKER26.
To
be
clear,
this
particular
version
excludes
the
three
AC
ports
offered
on
the
more
expensive
Solix
C300.
That
said,
it’s
a
viable
alternative
if
you
don’t
anticipate
plugging
in
hardware
with
AC
plugs.
It
offers
the
same
90,000mAh
(288Wh)
capacity
and
spreads
up
to
300W
of
power
across
four
total
USB-C
ports
(two
deliver
up
to
140W,
one
up
to
100W,
and
another
up
to
15W)
and
two
USB-A
ports.
You
also
have
several
charging
options,
including
a
120W
car
socket,
a
100W
solar
input,
and
one
of
its
two
USB-C
3.1
Power
Delivery
ports.
Anker
says
that
you
can
charge
it
up
to
80
percent
within
an
hour
if
you
use
the
two
USB-C
ports
concurrently.
You
can
check
power
and
charging
statuses
on
the
integrated
display,
too,
or
using
Anker’s
app.
It’s
a
hefty
carry
at
just
over
six
pounds,
but
it’s
shaped
a
bit
like
a
handheld
lamp
with
an
integrated
carrying
handle
and
a
top-mounted
LED
to
help
light
your
path.
