Anker SOLIX F3000 2 vs oupes Mega 3
F3000 2 leads on 3 of the 10 metrics both units publish; Mega 3 leads on 4; 4 are level or not directly comparable. Capacity is within 0%, so this is a like-for-like decision rather than a size mismatch.


Pick this if
Anker SOLIX F3000 2
- Max solar input: 2,400 W vs 2,100 W
- Rated cycles: 4,000 cycles vs 3,500 cycles
- Max expandable capacity: 24,000 Wh vs 15,360 Wh
Buyers who want a well-made, well-supported unit and will use the app.
Pick this if
oupes Mega 3
- Weight: 83.3 lb vs 91.5 lb
- List price: $1,199 vs $2,800
- Cost per watt-hour: $0.39 vs $0.91
- Watt-hours per pound: 36.9 Wh/lb vs 33.6 Wh/lb
Buyers who need maximum capacity for the least money and accept the trade-offs.
Spec by spec
A green arrow marks the better figure on each row. Rows where only one unit publishes a number are shown without a winner rather than guessed.
| Metric | F3000 2 | Mega 3 | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 3,072 Wh | 3,072 Wh | How much energy the unit stores. Sets how long everything else can run. |
| Continuous AC output | 3,600 W | 3,600 W | The largest load the inverter will run continuously, not counting surge. |
| Weight lower is better | 91.5 lb | 83.3 lb | The spec buyers most often regret ignoring. |
| List price lower is better | $2,800 | $1,199 | Vendor list price at the time of collection; street prices move. |
| Cost per watt-hour lower is better | $0.91 | $0.39 | Price divided by capacity. The fairest single value metric. |
| Watt-hours per pound | 33.6 Wh/lb | 36.9 Wh/lb | Capacity you get per pound carried. |
| Max solar input | 2,400 W | 2,100 W | Caps how large an array is useful, and therefore off-grid recharge speed. |
| Rated cycles | 4,000 cycles | 3,500 cycles | Vendor claim for charge cycles before capacity degrades to 80%. |
| UPS switchover lower is better | — | 20 ms | How long the unit takes to switch to battery. Under 20 ms keeps a desktop alive. |
| Max expandable capacity | 24,000 Wh | 15,360 Wh | How far the system can grow with add-on batteries. |
| Warranty | 60 months | 60 months | Stated warranty length from the vendor listing. |
