Can an Anker SOLIX C300 run a chest freezer?
No — the Anker SOLIX C300 can't run a chest freezer.
The chest freezer draws about 100 W running, with a 1,000 W startup surge; the C300 delivers 300 W continuous and 600 W surge. That's not enough surge headroom.

Common questions
Can the Anker SOLIX C300 run a chest freezer?
No. A chest freezer needs 100 W continuous and a 1,000 W startup surge, but the Anker SOLIX C300 only delivers 300 W continuous and a 600 W surge — so it can’t handle the startup surge. You'd want a larger unit.
