We are testing and reviewing the new Anker Solix F3800. This is a powerful portable power station. Sometimes known as a "solar generator". This is a large, powerful model. It has a 6,000W (6kW) inverter built-in. What's even more impressive, the inverter outputs both 120V and 240V AC power (split-phase). This means you can back-up your whole house in a power outage. This also means we can run 240V loads such as charging an electric vehicle.
There is a 3.8kWh battery built-in. This battery can be used pretty quickly if you are drawing a lot (ex. charging an EV). Fortunately, Anker thought of this an allows expansion with additional batteries.
