After launching the Solix F3800 in 2024, Anker is back this year with the enhanced Solix F3800 Plus. Built with enough power to run all the electronics and appliances in your entire home, it looks like the ideal company to have around during emergencies and outages.

Featuring a 6,000-watt AC output to run large appliances such as washers, dryers, and air conditioners, it’ll keep your home running as intended even when the grid is unavailable. The unit offers a capacity of 3,840 watt-hours, though it can be expanded by attaching up to 12 optional battery packs for a staggering maximum capacity of 53,760 watt-hours. So no matter how much energy you need, you can scale up your power station to handle all sorts of equipment.

Better yet, it can be paired with the existing Anker Solix Home Power Panel to function as a whole-house backup system, switching over to your backup power source in as little as 30 milliseconds.

The F3800 Plus has dual 165V solar inputs that support up to eight 400-watt solar panels. When this configuration is used on an optimal sunny day, it can recharge in as little as 1.5 hours. Best of all, it can continue to power your devices while recharging, ensuring there’s no lag between recharging its own battery and sending power to your appliances.

If solar isn’t an option, you can power it with any 240-volt gas generator via the Generator Input Adapter (which is sold separately).

Here’s a closer look at some of its best specifications:

  • 3,840 watt-hour capacity
  • Three USB-C ports
  • Two USB-A ports
  • One car cigarette lighter port
  • Multiple AC outlets
  • Generator: Up to 6,000 watts
  • AC Input: 1,800 watts
  • Solar Input: Up to 3,200 watts

The Anker Solix F3800 Plus Portable Power Station launches on March 12. You can preorder it today for $3,199 — as a bonus, you’ll get a free 400-watt solar panel (value of $899) along with a protective cover ($99).

Top Smart Home Upgrades Worth Making Before Your Summer Break
From outdoor monitoring to smarter front-door security, these EZVIZ devices combine smart protection with daily convenience
Person, Security, Electronics

Summer often brings a welcome change of routine for homeowners across Europe. Family holidays, weekend getaways, and longer days spent outdoors mean more time away and fewer opportunities to stay connected to what's happening back at the property. While it's a season for slowing down and enjoying the warmer months, everyday responsibilities don't simply pause. Deliveries still arrive, visitors may stop by unexpectedly, and trusted family members, cleaners, or pet sitters may occasionally need access while you're away.

Modern smart home technology makes those situations easier to manage. Today's connected devices can do far more than record footage or send motion alerts. They can help homeowners monitor outdoor spaces around the clock, stay informed about important activity, communicate with visitors remotely, and manage entry without needing to be physically present. Instead of constantly checking in or wondering whether everything is running smoothly back home, the right setup can provide greater visibility, convenience, and peace of mind throughout the season.

Battery-powered smart cameras have become one of the fastest-growing categories in home monitoring. Once valued primarily for their seamless installation, today's models combine advanced visual technology, AI-powered intelligence, and dependable long-term performance that rivals many traditional wired systems.
