Our Verdict
The Anker SOLIX C300 solves one of the most frustrating rural connectivity problems: losing internet when the power goes out. A typical home router and modem draw about 20–30 watts, so the C300's 288 Wh battery keeps them running for 8–12 hours. The UPS mode switches to battery power instantly — your internet stays up without interruption.

UPS Mode
The SOLIX C300 includes a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) mode that switches to battery power within 30 milliseconds when grid power fails. Your router and modem stay online without any interruption — no reconnecting, no dropped calls.
Solar Charging
The C300 charges via solar panel (sold separately) at up to 100W. In a sunny location, a 100W panel can fully recharge the C300 in about 3 hours, making it suitable for extended outages.
What It Can Power
A typical home router draws 10–20W, a cable modem draws 5–15W, and a cellular hotspot draws 5–10W. The C300 can power all three simultaneously for 8–12 hours on a single charge.
