Anker SOLIX is rolling out the F3800 Plus Portable Power Station, a next-generation backup power solution designed to handle whole-home energy needs in North America. This upgraded model improves solar efficiency by 30% and adds seamless gas generator compatibility, making it a strong choice for households dealing with frequent outages.
The original F3800 made waves on Kickstarter in 2023, raising over $5.8 million. Since then, customer feedback has shaped the F3800 Plus, boosting solar input from 2,400 watts to 3,200 watts and integrating more flexible charging options.
More Solar Power, Fewer Charging Hassles
With dual 165V solar inputs, the F3800 Plus supports up to eight 400-watt solar panels. This configuration cuts down on excess wiring while delivering more power. Under ideal conditions, the system reaches a full charge in just 1.5 hours—a major advantage for anyone relying on solar energy.
The station can charge and discharge at the same time, meaning devices stay powered even when energy is being replenished. Whether it’s keeping home essentials running or maintaining off-grid setups, this flexibility makes it easier to stay connected.
Generator Backup for Extended Outages
When solar power isn’t enough, the F3800 Plus connects to 240-volt gas generators for continuous backup. With the Generator Input Adapter (sold separately), it can fully recharge in 1.5 hours, cutting down generator runtime while keeping the power flowing.
During outages, the system delivers a 6,000-watt bypass, allowing critical devices to stay on while the station recharges. Once the generator is switched off, the stored power takes over—offering hours of quiet operation without added fuel consumption.
Powering Heavy-Duty Appliances with Ease
With a 6,000-watt AC output, the F3800 Plus can handle high-energy appliances like air conditioners, washers, and dryers simultaneously. Need more power? Pair two units or link an original F3800 with a Double Power Hub for a combined 12,000-watt output—enough to keep an entire home or job site running.
Expandable Storage for Long-Term Backup
The F3800 Plus starts with a 3,840Wh base capacity but scales up to 53,760Wh by adding battery packs. Whether it’s keeping a refrigerator running during an outage or supporting an off-grid setup, this expandable system lets users adjust capacity based on their needs.
Whole-Home Backup with Seamless Integration
When connected to the Anker SOLIX Home Power Panel, the F3800 Plus functions as a complete home backup system. It supports AC coupling, working alongside both solar and grid power to maximize stored energy use.
If the grid goes down, the system reacts in 30 milliseconds, preventing disruptions to connected devices. This quick switch ensures uninterrupted operation for homes that depend on reliable power.
