Anker SOLIX

I own an Anker SOLIX E10 system with five B6000 expansion batteries, providing a total of 30 kWh of battery storage. My original system included the E10 inverter and two expansion batteries, and I purchased this additional battery through Amazon. The battery worked perfectly for the first few weeks. Then I received a D10 battery fault error. I rebooted the system, and everything returned to normal. About a month later, the same D10 error appeared, and once again, rebooting resolved the issue. In October, the D10 error returned, but this time a reboot didn't resolve it. Shortly afterward, the battery also reported a D32 fault. Something to note, these errors occurred when charging above 90%. I charged it many times above 90% SOC, but the errors all happened when above 90%. Might be related, might not. I contacted Anker support and uploaded the system logs for troubleshooting. Within approximately 24 hours, Anker responded, and within 48 hours, I received a tracking number for a replacement battery module. Less than a week after initially contacting support, the replacement battery arrived, was installed, and was operating normally alongside my other four batteries. Mind you this is a 125 pound battery module. While I was disappointed that a relatively new battery experienced a hardware issue, but I would rather the error happen when it is newer instead of years down the road. In this case, Anker handled the situation exceptionally well in my opinion. There was no lengthy back-and-forth, no unnecessary troubleshooting, and no drawn-out warranty process. They reviewed the logs, recognized the problem, and quickly shipped a replacement. I've been very pleased with the overall performance of my E10 system. Anker's customer support and warranty service fixed the issue quickly in my opinion.

Overall this battery has performed well for me over the last couple years that I've had it. I don't have any complaints about the overall build or design. The things that stand out cons are: 1. Fan noise: When charging via solar input port (either from actual solar panels or from a DC power source) the cooling fan inside the unit can be loud. It sounds to me like the fan is kind of undersized, and the fan curve isn't very smooth so the noise can be quite annoying as it switches between fan speeds. 2. Software features: the connected app works fairly well, and it's nice that it's possible to connect the battery to a wifi network so that the SoC and input/output can be viewed remotely. However, I think this battery falls behind competitors when it comes to configurability. I would love a way to set a charge "reserve", where, for example, it only uses the AC input if charge falls below a set percentage, and relies on solar/DC input otherwise. Many other batteries, including some others in Anker's lineup, are able to do this; it feels like something that was left out of the software just to try and ladder people up to more expensive/higher-capacity models. For the last 6 months or so, I've used this battery effectively as an inverter/buffer connected to a 100Ah golf cart LFP battery. The golf cart battery is charged by a solar MPPT charge controller, and outputs via an XT60 connector into the Anker's solar input. This lets me store up and use a couple days' worth of solar input from a 400W panel, which I can use to run AC and other devices in my living room. Overall it's held up well, and I'm still able to use it for backup in the case of power outages, or if I want to have battery backup on a road/camping trip in my car.

Served its purpose during a 3 day outage. No problems I bought the generator adapter and it recharges quickly. The nice thing with the generator adapter is you can keep the 240VAC inverter engaged while recharging.

Designed for camping or emergency lighting with excellent clever engineering. Two rechargeable lights lie in a charging dock under the front panel along with a telescoping pole. There is a screw hole on the top ro attach the pole. The lights can be attached magnetically to the pole. Mode selections allow for area lighting or a more focused beam flashlight. Battery life on these is easily hours. The LED on the front of the unit has three brightness settings. This on board lighting combined with 12V socket and AC inverter and solar input make this a remarkably versatile unit. During a prolonged outage this unit was able to run my fridge (~125w cont with ? Large startup surge) for about 4 hours on a full charge. The quality is awesome, it feels solid, not flimsy junk. The carry handles are comfortable. The app is easy to install and navigate, and is nicely polished. Has bluetooth and wifi for remote monitoring. I think this is a terrific product overall and would absolutely buy it again.

Works well except it shuts off when I run my widow ac unit above 1000 watts. This is disappointing given the rated output is 1500w

I purchased the F3800 plus with a BP3800 expansion battery as a home backup, couple with solar and a 120v generator. Build quality - external only. I ain't opening this thing up. It is built like a tank, built to be bumped and moved around. The unit itself has an extension handle and wheels making it pretty easy to move around. I strap a BP3800 expansion battery on top with a ratchet strap, which negates the handle and makes it heavy to move, but still doable. Capacity- it will definitely output 6000 watts if they are constant loads. If usage is 3000 and you add an 1800 watt microwave it's going to pop off. The AC power is designed for larger outputs. If you plug a fridge into this thing it seems the AC inverter consumption on small Loads does pretty bad. It will definitely take the solar input well. I currently have 2000 watts of solar panels with another 920 in reserve. I have hooked all up to both inputs and they do well. I run a 3.5ton Lennox central AC inverter Florida with an Easystart Flex soft start. It has no problem running this for 6 hours with the solar production. I have a lot of gas appliances so that is my big load. Charging - If you have a 240v generator you can charge and maintain loads at the same time. Solar also stays up during 240v loads. If you have only AC sources, it shuts off the 240v loads during charging. Pros- this is an easy option for those who are unable or unwilling to build DIY setups. It's expansion batteries managed their own balancing and charging. No other equipment required. If you need 12,000 watts of output, adding a second power station It's mildly portable within your home, but this isn't something you would take camping or load into your car. It's very heavy. Support - Anker support has been awesome and interactive. I had troubles with their generator adapter and they actually pushed an update to the software to rectify the issue. Cons- it is very expensive per KWH, the expansion batteries being roughly the same price as the entire unit and only adding 3.8kwh. The software is getting better but it feels like Anker has left this behind in favor Of its E10 system. As an example, the Anker smart generator will make use of the step start function but won't charge direct DC on the F3800 plus. 3rd party expansion options will void your warranty, and I paid for this thing unlike many of the YouTube guys showing you how to hack these. Don't do it.
