Right now, the Solix F3800 portable power station bundle is down to $1,999.98 from its usual $3,999 price. According to price trackers, that’s the lowest price this package has reached so far. We’re also keeping track of other notable discounts and buying advice across a wide range of categories for this year’s Prime Day sales event.
With a 3,840Wh battery and up to 6,000W of output, the F3800 is built for more than keeping phones and laptops charged during an outage. Most portable power stations are limited to standard 120V outlets, which covers TVs, computers, lights, and small appliances, but the F3800 also supports 240V output, allowing it to power larger appliances that many competing models simply can’t handle. That includes electric dryers, ovens, certain air-conditioning systems and EVs, and an RV through its dedicated 30-amp outlet. Anker also designed the system with expansion in mind. You can add up to six expansion batteries, increasing total capacity to 26.88kWh.
The included 400W solar panel also adds another layer of flexibility—if you’re using the system for camping, RV travel, or extended outages, you can replenish some of that capacity without relying entirely on the electrical grid. The panel uses high-efficiency monocrystalline cells, offers adjustable stand angles to help capture more sunlight throughout the day, and carries an IP67 weather-resistance rating for outdoor use.
The biggest drawback here is portability. Despite the wheels, the Solix F3800 weighs more than 130 pounds, so this isn’t something you’ll casually carry from place to place. It’s better thought of as a movable backup-power system than a grab-and-go battery pack. It’s also still a significant investment, even at half off.
