- What power station can the PS400 charge?
- It works with most portable power stations that accept MC4 or XT-60 input, including Anker SOLIX models. Check your station's maximum solar input voltage and current to avoid overloading it.
- How long does it take to charge a power station?
- Under optimal sunlight, Anker says it can charge a 1000Wh power station in about 4–5 hours. Real-world times vary with sun angle, clouds, and the station's charging limits.
- Is the PS400 waterproof?
- Yes, it has an IP67 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and water immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The junction box and cables should still be kept dry.
- Can I use the PS400 to charge a phone or laptop directly?
- No, it does not have built-in USB ports. It outputs DC power through MC4 connectors, so you need a power station or a separate charge controller to power devices.
- Does it come with cables?
- Yes, the box includes a 2× 9.84 ft MC4 extension cable and an MC4 to XT-60 converter, plus a welcome guide.
- How portable is the PS400?
- It folds for transport and has a carry handle, but at 400W it is large and heavy compared with smaller panels. It is best for car camping or RV use rather than backpacking.
