What separates these two
Where both brands give a figure measured the same way, the two are close. None of the gaps is big enough to count (the sizes are listed at the end of this section).
Price isn't compared here yet. That needs a second shop selling each one for about the same price (within 10%), which shows the price is real. Today: price, SOLIX C300 $399 and SOLIX C300X DC $429.
Can't be compared The two brands give this figure in different ways, or only one brand gives it. For example, one counts battery charges until 80% of the capacity is left and the other until 70%. Set side by side, the numbers would mislead, so both are shown and neither is put ahead.
- CapacityThe SOLIX C300 states 288 Wh (Nameplate capacity The capacity printed on the box, in watt-hours (Wh): what the battery holds when new. You get less out of it in use, because the station keeps some back to protect the battery and loses some turning it into 240 V or 12 V power.). The brand doesn't give this figure for the SOLIX C300X DC.This means the two can't be compared on this until both brands publish it.

Capacity is the nameplate figure in watt-hours (Wh), the one on the box. AC output is the power a station can supply non-stop, not a short burst. Weight is the station on its own. A figure measured another way is shown with a note saying how, and isn't compared with the others.
