Quick answers

Is the Anker SOLIX C300 better than the Marbero M823?
Anker SOLIX C300 leads by 36 points overall.
Which has more usable capacity, the Anker SOLIX C300 or Marbero M823?
The Anker SOLIX C300, by 88 Wh — 269 Wh versus 181 Wh, a 49% advantage. At a 60 W load that is roughly 1.5 extra hours before the battery is empty. Both figures are estimated AC-delivered energy, not the nameplate battery rating — the watt-hours that actually reach your devices, which is always less than the number on the box.
Which has more AC output, the Anker SOLIX C300 or Marbero M823?
Neither — both are rated 300 W continuous, so any load one can run, the other can too. Surge headroom follows the same order: 600 W against 375 W, and surge is what decides whether a compressor or pump actually starts.
How does runtime compare between the Anker SOLIX C300 and Marbero M823?
On the same sourced load — a refrigerator (full-size) — the Anker SOLIX C300 runs longer: 4.3 hours against 2.9. These are planning estimates from each model's AC-delivered capacity, not stopwatch tests; real duty cycle and temperature move them.
Which is lighter, the Anker SOLIX C300 or Marbero M823?
The Marbero M823, by 2 kg (2.1 kg versus 4.1 kg). Both weights are manufacturer figures for the bare unit; cables and a solar panel add to whatever you actually carry.
Which model should I buy for my use case?
On the sub-scores that describe each use case: the Anker SOLIX C300 for home backup; the Marbero M823 for camping & rv. They split, so the honest answer depends on which of those you are actually buying for.
