F3800 3.84kWh Portable Power Station
All-in-One System Portable
Whole-home-capable LFP solar generator. 3.84 kWh battery, 6000 W AC with 240 V split-phase, expandable to 26.9 kWh with up to six BP3800 add-on packs.
The Anker F3800 is the brand's flagship portable-to-permanent crossover unit. The 240 V split-phase output and a dedicated EV plug make it usable for whole-home backup with a transfer switch — most other portable units in this size only deliver 120 V. LFP cells are rated for 3000+ cycles to 80% capacity with a 5-year warranty.

Common questions
What people ask about the F3800 3.84kWh Portable Power Station
What's the difference between F3800 3.84kWh Portable Power Station and a residential all-in-one inverter-battery?
Anker SOLIX F3800 3.84kWh Portable Power Station is a solar generator (portable power station) — designed to be picked up and moved, with built-in outlets and a solar input port. It's distinct from a residential AIO like the EcoFlow PowerOcean or Sol-Ark 12K, which is a permanent-install hybrid inverter wired into a home's main panel. Solar generators excel at backup-of-last-resort, off-grid trips, and powering specific high-priority devices. Residential AIOs are what you'd choose to back up the whole home.
What can Anker SOLIX F3800 3.84kWh Portable Power Station actually run, and for how long?
With 6000W continuous AC output, Anker SOLIX F3800 3.84kWh Portable Power Station can run anything that draws under that wattage continuously: refrigerators (~150W), LED lights, laptops, modems, CPAP machines, even small space heaters at low setting. Surge to 9000W means it can handle motor-startup spikes from compressors and small pumps. At 3.84kWh capacity, runtime depends on draw: a 60W draw runs 54 hours, a 600W draw runs 5.4 hours. (The 0.85 factor is realistic round-trip efficiency.)
How do I expand capacity?
Anker SOLIX F3800 3.84kWh Portable Power Station expands to 26.88kWh total via add-on battery packs from the same manufacturer. The expansion battery connects with a single high-current cable and the BMS treats the combined bank as one battery. Note that the inverter section's continuous AC output (6000W) doesn't increase with capacity — only runtime does.
Will this charge from the panels I already have?
Anker SOLIX F3800 3.84kWh Portable Power Station accepts 11–60V solar input up to 2400W. Most rigid 12V/24V portable panels work directly. Residential roof panels (typically 30–50V Voc) work too, but you'll need to wire panels in series to stay above the lower voltage threshold and below the upper. Confirm panel Voc + cold-temperature derating before connecting.
