I tested the Anker Solix F3800 under various loads. Typically, power stations perform best when placed under a load of around half the maximum output. Testing with a 2000W load, I found that the Anker Solix F3800 delivered a total of 3269Wh, which made it 85.13% efficient: that is similar to most of the competition.

Some power is lost to run the internal systems and through the inverter, which converts DC power from the battery to AC power for standard devices.

Dropping the load to 1000W, I saw efficiency drop to 71.61%, falling to just 65.23% efficiency under a 200W load.

FYI......I received an answer from Anker!

- If you're asking whether you can use the power outlets of the F3800 while it's being recharged by a solar panel, the answer is yes. The F3800 can be recharged by solar panels via its XT-60 ports while simultaneously outputting 240v to power your appliances.

- If you're asking whether you can recharge the F3800 with both a wall outlet and a solar panel at the same time, the answer is no. If both a wall outlet and a solar panel are plugged in at the same time, the F3800 will prioritize being recharged by the AC from the wall outlet.

Can F3800 run 240V output and be charged simultaneously?

No, it cannot power 240V during recharging. The recharge voltage is 120V, so it can only bypass 120V power to the loads.

I read somewhere when the inverter is on this thing it draws about 75 watts a hour.

same price as it was two months ago, near the end of november, from same vendor. considering this f3800 is a year old, and newer updated models are coming, it's...meh. not a bad price, but not exactly great either. same for the delta pro ultra deal today for $3999. same price as a couple months ago. no price drop in last two months, on units a year old.

this f3800 is not for me at this price, because of the gimped solar input (voltage capped at 60v, when it should be 150v), but if you really like and want this unit, there are workarounds. you can feed up to 60v dc through the pv inputs (xt60), charging it with an external 12v/24v/48v battery, or you can use a dc switching power supply such as this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Switching-...B0C5JJVT9P

or you can use this:

The EG4 Chargeverter FIXES the Anker SOLIX F3800! Keep the 240v Powered On!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_zZceBWZHk

so it is possible to fast charge the anker f3800 with ac power while simultaneously using the 240v output. it's just a bit of a hassle. just like the solar input is a bit of a hassle, having to hook up larger 400w - 500w panels in parallel.

but, for the right price, i could pick one of these up. probably 1500 or less before i would be interested. i prefer the ecoflow delta pro 3 for around the same price.

Can it handle a well pump? Just the well pump and nothing else.

Ive been looking to get this with the smart panel and tie it to my existing grid tied solar. Does anyone know of any other company that works like this?

Ecoflow Home Panel 2 is similar, with built in breakers. The app can monitor can control individual breakers.

Somewhere on the OP needs to list the capacity of the battery (3840kwh).I shouldn't have to clink on the link to find it.

Can the ecoflow delta pro 3 charge at 120v while delivering 240v output?

yes, the delta pro 3 can charge with 120 ac while simultaneously outputting 240v. the delta pro 3 can also charge at 240v (the anker can't. only 120v). i don't think the delta pro 3 can output 240v while being charged at 240v, however.

OK thanks. I see no reason to get the Anker. The dp3 is even slightly less.
