Anker's F3800 power hub bundle is a portable home backup and off grid power system that stands out for RV, EV, and outage use. The original F3800 keeps both a NEMA L14 30 and 14 50 port, while the Plus model shifts to the L14 30R and adds faster charging and EV auto connection support. Real world use includes running fridges, office gear, and server racks for hours, with solar and generator charging helping stretch runtime. The main cautions are that 240 volt loads can stop charging, startup surge can be an issue, and the solar panel inclusion has been inconsistent in the listing and cart.
RV owners with a 50-amp hookup, because the original unit includes a 14-50 port for direct RV connection.
Home backup setups that need UPS-style runtime, because it can keep fridges, freezers, office gear, and a server rack running for hours during outages.
Shoppers who want the solar panel guaranteed from the listing title, because the panel may be missing from the cart or title even when the order includes it.
The listing appears inconsistent: some checks show only the double hub and free cover, while others show the 200W solar panel added automatically or included in the shipped order. If the panel does not appear in cart, it may need to be added manually from Anker's solar panel product page.
It can work as a UPS for a server rack, keep fridges and office gear running during outages, and help stretch generator fuel by charging from solar. It can also be used for time-of-use electricity arbitrage by charging off-peak and discharging on-peak.
It will not charge while running a 240V appliance, but it can charge during 120V use. That matters for backup setups because 240V loads like central AC can drain the batteries faster unless the system is tied into a Smart Panel or similar bypass setup.
The original F3800 includes both a NEMA L14-30 and a NEMA 14-50 port, while the F3800 Plus drops the 14-50 and relies on the L14-30R for 240V output. The Plus also adds higher power specs and 240V generator bypass/recharge support up to 6,000W.
It can run some AC setups, but a 240V central unit may need a soft starter such as a Micro-Air Easy Start to handle startup surge. A 5-ton AC may be workable with that modification, but the system may still stop charging while the AC is running.

With some portable/window AC units, and some extra batteries, you could run just about everything else in your house on this, just not all at once. The only benefit I see with this over a permanent inverter and larger battery is portability and not needing a permit to use/install it.
So joking aside, you can run this with your 5 ton AC if you did what the guy suggested, add a "soft starter" to your HVAC compressor outside, which will set you back $350 or so... But another user mentioned, while using it for 240 VAC (AC unit), then you can't charge it, so small batteries will run out fast unless this is tied to your Smart Panel or if you use a disconnect switch unit. Anyways, the incentive from Uncle Sam is all gone... They should have Uncle Sam show up at the Wrestling match to get beat up on.
Its important to note that these do not charge while using them to run a 240v appliance, but will charge for 120v use.
Massive deal breaker for me.
Wow, massive deal breaker for me too. im using a bluetti ac3000x2 so this would have been a huge power up for sub 5k BUT at least bluetti lets me charge from a generator and the battery gives me time to refuel or good for short outatges!

Pecron 5000 has some amazing benefits and I thought price point is pretty similar. Jasonoid reviews it thoroughly https://youtu.be/ECNvmhUDaWI
I was joking. But I am curious on what people do with these and how long do they last.
We are prone to hurricanes but don't see how this would pay off sitting there 99.9% of the time unused. Pretty pricey.
I'm not sure I would ever recoup the cost for this but my little system I charge off peak at ¢10.0319/Kwh and discharge on peak to my load at ¢26.4282. Saves me about $1.50 per day depending. I'd be better off to add some add'l solar for peak rather than add'l storage.

If hurricanes is the main reason for the backup and you don't need it otherwise, consider getting a tri fuel generator. Even if you don't have a natural gas line, you can use regular gas for about 80-100$/day and power a 2000sqft home with normal usage.

During the off season, I use mine as an UPS for my server rack. it's plugged into a smart plug that I scheduled to kill the power from 9pm to 9am on the first of the month to keep the battery from sitting charged indefinitely. During our last power outage, both my fridges, my chest freezer, and everything in my office/wife's office (two 32" monitors, 49" monitor, router, wifi ap we're running off it. Front display varied between 9-12 hours of runtime based on which compressor(s) we're kicking on. I'm still using a generator during hurricane season, but this will let me stretch out my gas consumption significantly since I can charge off solar while the generator runs. Also made a cable to use my golf cart as an auxiliary battery, so theoretically I could drive to someone's house down the road and charge the car with their power and have yet another option for energy

Even at $1/day savings now, you break even in 10 years, at $1.50 its 6.5 years.

Not terrible.
I think we're in agreement. I was more answering the "what do people do with these?" so for someone on grid with stable power unconcerned with UPS functionality and has no solar there's still a use case if TOU/TOD pricing and, yep, it can save money over time.
I'm not clear what the difference is between this and the plus model.
original F3800 includes both a NEMA L14-30 and a NEMA 14-50 port. The Plus drops the 14-50 port and relies on the L14-30R for 240V output. 3,200W up to 165V) compared to the original F3800's 2,400W. 240V generator bypass and recharge feature (up to 6,000W on plus model

Realistically people aren't home daily, and converting from ac-dc-ac you are going to lose maybe 20% to heat as well.
Super can be good but also a lot of variables there
