Purchased to supply supplemental power in an off site location. Hope to use when making short duration trips instead of hauling a full sized (2,000w) power station. Still waiting for weather to subside, as it snowed yesterday (04/01). Any products to change the weather?
Thank you for choosing the Anker C300X! It sounds like the perfect solution for powering your short trips without the heavier gear. We totally understand waiting on the weather – fingers crossed it clears up for you soon. While we haven't mastered weather control yet, we're confident the C300X will be ready when you are. We look forward to hearing how it works for you!
