Can the C300X run a regular lamp or fan?

No. It has no AC outlets, so standard plug-in appliances will not work. It charges USB-C devices only.

What can 288Wh actually charge?

Expect roughly several phone charges or a few laptop top-ups. High-draw laptops at 300W will drain it in under an hour.

How is it different from an AC power station?

It skips the AC inverter and focuses on USB-C PD. That saves size and conversion losses but rules out wall-plug devices.

Can I charge it from a car or solar panel?

USB-C PD input lets it recharge from a suitable USB-C charger or power source. Check the input wattage of your charger for realistic recharge times.

Is 300W enough for my laptop?

Most USB-C laptops draw well under 300W, so it should cope. Gaming laptops and workstations with high peak draw may exceed what it can sustain.

Our take on the Anker SOLIX C300X DC Portable Power Station 288Wh

The Anker SOLIX C300X DC is a 288Wh portable power station built around USB-C Power Delivery rather than AC wall outlets. It delivers up to 300W and is aimed at charging laptops, phones, cameras and small USB-C devices on the go. Its DC-only design makes it lighter and simpler than AC-equipped stations of similar capacity, but it cannot run a standard plug-in appliance. It is a niche pick for USB-C-heavy kits rather than a general household backup.
