Anker SOLIX F3800
3,840 Wh and 6,000 W of AC, on an LFP battery. It has the highest AC output of the 14 stations in the 2,500 to 4,000 Wh class. Anker SOLIX no longer sells it new in its own US store.

The F3800 in brief
Highest AC output among the 14 stations in the 2,500 to 4,000 Wh class: the F3800 delivers 6,000 W, with a 9,000 W surge rating, from a 3,840 Wh battery. That runs a 1,575 W space heater for 2.1 h to 2.5 h and a refrigerator for 36 h to 4 days, and it starts the 2,350 W furnace blower. Split-phase output is listed, and up to 6 BP3800 expansion batteries lift the system to 26,880 Wh. Solar input is 2,400 W but capped at 60 V, and Anker warns that voltage above 60 V will damage the product. At 132.2 lb it is heavy. Anker no longer sells the F3800 new in its own US store; the newer model is the F3800 Plus.
How long the F3800 runs things
Times use about 85% of the rated capacity, the part left after inverter and battery losses. The 6,000 W output sits above every appliance in the list, so none is ruled out. Runtime comes down to the 3,840 Wh: a chest freezer lasts 3 days to 6 days, and a sump pump 3.1 h to 4.1 h.
Work out your own mix of loads. A red bar means it draws more than the 6,000 W this station can supply.
How fast it refills
Solar time assumes panels reach 75% of their rating. Figure it for your state and panels.
Solar panels for the F3800
Its XT60 port takes 11 to 60 V, up to 27 A and 1,200 W. A panel's voltage rises in the cold, so the marks below show each one at 14 F, and a pass here keeps 10% of headroom under the maximum.
All 2 of its inputs: input 1 XT60 (11 to 60 V, 1,200 W); input 2 XT60 (11 to 60 V, 1,200 W).

Who the F3800 suits
Choose it for the highest output in its class and for expansion to 26,880 Wh. The F3800 Plus is the better buy for solar, since it accepts 3,200 W up to 165 V against 2,400 W up to 60 V here, at 135.6 lb. If 6,000 W is more than you need, the Jackery HomePower 3600 Pro Max offers 4,000 W of AC at 73.85 lb, with a 3-year warranty against Anker's 5.
