Anker’s Solix C300 DC power station has hit a new low price for Verge readers

1 month ago 3

Having an alternative power source ready for sudden outages or extended off-grid adventures is never a bad idea. Thankfully, the Anker Solix C300X DC Portable Power Station is a neat, affordable option that loads you up with enough power and USB ports to charge several devices concurrently. And right now, Wellbots is offering it to Verge readers for $148 (about $52 off) with promo code VERGEANKER26.

To be clear, this particular version excludes the three AC ports offered on the more expensive Solix C300. That said, it’s a viable alternative if you don’t anticipate plugging in hardware with AC plugs. It offers the same 90,000mAh (288Wh) capacity and spreads up to 300W of power across four total USB-C ports (two deliver up to 140W, one up to 100W, and another up to 15W) and two USB-A ports.

You also have several charging options, including a 120W car socket, a 100W solar input, and one of its two USB-C 3.1 Power Delivery ports. Anker says that you can charge it up to 80 percent within an hour if you use the two USB-C ports concurrently. You can check power and charging statuses on the integrated display, too, or using Anker’s app. It’s a hefty carry at just over six pounds, but it’s shaped a bit like a handheld lamp with an integrated carrying handle and a top-mounted LED to help light your path.

Anker’s versatile Solix C300 DC offers six total USB ports, a car charger port, and solar input. The portable power station is ideal for travel, as it’s relatively light for its 90,000mAh capacity and features an integrated handle.

A few more deals to kick off the week

Now through October 31st, Mario vs. Donkey Kong is on sale at Woot for $39.99 ($10 off). The Nintendo Switch title is a remake of the Game Boy Advance classic with a hilariously petty premise, one in which you collect keys and jump your way through various side-scrolling puzzles to retrieve a cache of stolen wind-up dolls from Donkey Kong. Needless to say, it’s a fun sidetrack if you haven’t already settled the rivalry in rounds of Super Smash Bros.
Resident Evil 4 fell to a new low price at Amazon last week, and now it’s even cheaper at Target. Right now, you can get it there for $19.99 ($10 off) for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S (Amazon has the PS5 version for the same price). The 2023 remake offers newcomers and long-time fans alike plenty of reasons to explore a compound filled with bloodthirsty villagers (again), as it’s been modernized with new graphics, gameplay mechanics, and other key changes that enhance one of the series’ most beloved titles.
Now through October 25th, Woot is selling Apple’s official iPhone 16 Case with MagSafe for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max for $24.99 ($24 off) with code APPLEWELCOME. They come in several colors depending on the model, including a clear polycarbonate version and a silicone version that comes in black, fuchsia, green, ultramarine, and denim. Apple’s iPhone 16 cases also support passthrough capacitive touch, unlike many cheaper cases from third-party brands, meaning they provide easy access to the Camera Control button without a cutout.
