The Anker SOLIX C200 DC holds 192Wh with no AC inverter, delivering 200W total across DC outputs, including a bidirectional 140W USB-C port. Fanless and silent, with 0.15% hourly idle drain. Budget price tier.
My Quick Verdict
This is not a power station in the usual sense. There is no AC inverter at all, so nothing with a mains plug will run from it.
What it is, instead, is a DC hub, and, judged on that basis, it does something no conventional unit can manage. With no inverter to keep awake, idle drain falls to 0.15% per hour, the lowest figure in our entire database.
Leave it charged, and it is still essentially full a month later. Every AC unit here would have lost a meaningful share of its pack in the same period.
The bidirectional 140-watt USB-C port charges the unit and charges from it at full rate, and with no fans, the whole thing is silent.
Best for: Camera and laptop kit, travel, and anyone who wants a battery that holds its charge between infrequent uses.
Not for: Anything with a mains plug. There is no inverter, and there is no way around that.
