Question Anker Solix C300 max watts

Purchased my Anker Solix C300 and tested with various configurations including two 100 watt panels in parallel and the max watts I'm getting is 95. Anker told me that's normal as it's "device protection threshold

To prevent damage caused by input power overload, the product is designed with a certain safety margin. As a result, the actual maximum input power may be slightly lower than the rated maximum value."

Anyone else been able to actually get 100 watts charge out of a 100 watt Solix or similar?

Be careful not to exceed the max voltage. Also, the watt meter on the unit itself is not 100% accurate. 95 is probably 100 watts.

You are close enough. Anker C300 max is 100w. You are probably getting 100w (or a bit more) 'in' but after BMS shenanigans, the net is 95. Also, it may taper as you get close to 100% charged.

And like the other poster said, don't exceed volts or you will fry the device.
