Anker reveals new solar-powered Solix batteries, powerful Anker Prime series

Anker’s massive RE Charge press event has come and gone, with dozens of products revealed during the live stream. Two of the biggest announcements were for the new solar-powered Solix batteries (which look to bring Anker into the home energy market) and the Anker Prime series — a lineup of ultra-powerful charging accessories and battery banks.

The Anker Prime series is composed of “premium, high-speed, multi-port devices,” the most notable of which is a USB-C charger available in 67-watt, 100-watt, and 250-watt versions. You’ll also find the Anker Prime Power Bank, which offers 100-watt wireless charging and a 27,000mAh capacity. In other words, it’s ready for whatever electronics you throw at it.

The Anker Reserve Power Bank was also highlighted during RE Charge and is available today for $170. It’s geared toward outdoor enthusiasts, with a 60,000 mAh battery, two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and an XT 60 plug for solar charging. Aside from its charging chops, the battery includes a built-in, adjustable light for all your after-dark adventures.

The Anker Solix lineup, meanwhile, is designed for the home energy marketplace and focuses on solar solutions that can fit inside apartments or other small spaces.

“More consumers than ever are turning to solar energy to power their homes,” said Steven Yang, CEO of Anker. “With Anker Solix, we will leverage our deep expertise in battery storage and power delivery, allowing everyone from homeowners to apartment residents and even campers to store and manage all their energy needs more effectively.”

Products in the Solix line will include solar balcony systems, EV car charging stations, portable solutions for your home or RV, and an ultra-portable lineup ideal for camping for powering small indoor electronics.

We should learn more about Solix in the coming months, with a full rollout expected in 2024.

3 reasons why I’ll actually use Anker’s new iPhone power bank

Power banks are a necessary evil, and even if you don’t consider yourself a “power user” who's likely to drain a phone’s battery in less than a day, there will be times when one comes in handy. And when I am forced to carry one, I want it to be as helpful and versatile as possible.

I’ve been trying Anker’s MagGo Power Bank 10K -- meaning it has a 10,000mAh cell inside it -- and there are three reasons why I'm OK with it taking up valuable space in my bag.

The Segway i Series being set up.

Segway -- the company responsible for Paul Blart's preferred mode of transportation -- already has a surprisingly robust smart home lineup. The company expanded its catalog at CES 2024, revealing a new series of robot lawn mowers (Navimow i Series) and a new portable power station (Segway Cube Series).

The upcoming Navimow i Series makes a few big improvements over Segway's existing H Series. Along with the ability to work without wires (which are typically used to set boundaries for the robot), the i Series employs a technology known as the Exact Fusion Locating System (EFLS). Segway says this will let the robot lawn mower better track its location and ensure it's cutting your lawn as close to specifications as possible.

Anker showed off several products at CES 2024, but few were as compelling as the Solix F3800 Portable Power Station. With a staggering 6,000W output (and the option to chain two together for 12,000W), it's shaping up to be a portable power station that can tackle every task around your home, garage, or campsite.

Along with its 6,000W output, it benefits from up to a 53.8kwh capacity; in other words, it should have more than enough juice to run your gadgets before it needs to recharge itself.
