Anker SOLIX Class Action Lawsuit: Was Your Power Station Really Half Off?
We Filed a Class Action Over Anker's "Sale" Prices on SOLIX Power Stations
If you shopped for an Anker SOLIX power station, you saw the same thing everyone else did: a crossed-out price, a lower price next to it, a green "$749 OFF" flag on the product photo, and a countdown timer telling you the deal ends soon. Warren Terzian LLP has filed a class action lawsuit alleging that those discounts aren't real—that the crossed-out "reference price" is a price Anker almost never actually charges, so the sale price isn't a sale. It's just the price.

Why is the Anker SOLIX always on sale?
That question is the heart of the case.
A discount only means something if the product was actually sold at the higher price. When Anker shows you "$749.00" next to a struck-through "$1,498.00," that display tells you two things: this power station normally costs $1,498, and today you're saving half. The perceived bargain is often the reason people buy—and buy right now, before the timer runs out.
Our complaint alleges that at Anker, the reference price isn't a real price. We allege that Anker's SOLIX products are never, or almost never, offered at the crossed-out number, so the advertised discount is illusory. And we allege Anker stacks the effect: percentage-off badges, dollar-off flags on the product image, "coupons" that apply themselves automatically at checkout, and countdown clocks announcing that the sale ends in hours—on products that our complaint alleges have been discounted continuously for years.
A discount from a price nobody pays is not a discount. A deadline that never arrives is not a deadline.
What our investigation found
Before filing, we reconstructed the advertised pricing history of Anker SOLIX products using archived captures of Anker's own websites. Here's what the complaint alleges.
The Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 portable power station. Anker advertised a reference price of $1,498. Our complaint alleges the product debuted in October 2025 and was on sale for $749 immediately, or almost immediately—at launch, as a preorder. Across every date we tracked from October 2025 through April 2026, the actual price ranged from about $679 to $799. It was never $1,498. Even at its highest tracked price, the C2000 Gen 2 was still selling roughly 47% below the number Anker crossed out.
Note what that means about the "$749 OFF" badge: $749 is exactly half of $1,498, and $749 is also the price the complaint alleges the product launched at and kept returning to. On our client's purchase, the "discount" and the price were the same number.
The Anker SOLIX F2000 solar generator with a 400-watt solar panel. Anker advertised a reference price of $2,898. We tracked this product across more than twenty separate dates spanning roughly two and a half years, from November 2023 to April 2026. The advertised price ran from $1,999 down to $1,199. Our complaint alleges it was rarely, if ever, sold at $2,898. By early 2026 it was routinely selling for about $1,249—more than 50% below a reference price that, on our allegations, had not been a real price at any point in the tracked period.
The pattern across the SOLIX line. Our complaint includes a capture of Anker's own "Bestsellers for Earth Day" page, on which four flagship products appeared simultaneously, each with a discount flag: the E10 at $7,799 from $11,099 ("$3,300 OFF"), an F3800 solar generator bundle at $1,999 from $4,898, the F3800 Plus at $2,299 from $4,799 ("$2,500 OFF"), and the C2000 Gen 2 at $749 from $1,498 ("$749 OFF"). On the F3800 Plus product page, the $2,500 "savings" came from a coupon code the site applied by itself. A coupon that applies automatically to everyone, every time, isn't a coupon. It's the price.
Our complaint also reproduces Anker's countdown timers: a "Flash Sale Weekend" clock running down hours, minutes, and seconds; a "Weekend Flash Sale" clock; a "Valentine's Energy Sale! Up to 56% Off!" banner with its own countdown. Our complaint alleges these sales were advertised as temporally limited when the products were virtually always offered at a substantial discount off the reference price.
Does California law prohibit fake reference prices?
Yes. California has regulated phony discounts for decades. Our complaint alleges Anker's pricing violates:
The False Advertising Law, Business and Professions Code sections 17500 and 17501. Section 17501 says no price may be advertised as a former price unless that price was the prevailing market price within the three months immediately before the ad ran—or unless the ad clearly, exactly, and conspicuously states the date the former price actually applied. Our complaint alleges neither happened here.
The Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Civil Code section 1770, which makes it unlawful to make false or misleading statements of fact about the reasons for, existence of, or amounts of price reductions; to represent that goods have characteristics or benefits they don't have; and to advertise goods with intent not to sell them as advertised.
The Unfair Competition Law, Business and Professions Code section 17200, which reaches unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent business practices—including practices that violate the statutes above and the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Against Deceptive Pricing.
Those federal guides say it plainly: a former price is a legitimate basis for advertising a bargain only if it's a price at which the product was openly and actively offered for sale, for a reasonably substantial period, in the recent regular course of business. When the former price is fictitious, the FTC says, the "reduced" price is probably just the seller's regular price. (16 C.F.R. § 233.1.)
We've written a fuller explanation of how these laws work in our guide to fake sales and fake discounts under California law.
These are allegations. The court has not decided them, and Anker has not been found liable of anything.
Who does the lawsuit cover?
Our lawsuit—Coffey v. Fantasia Trading LLC, No. 26STCV13712, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on April 29, 2026—proposes a class of California citizens who, within the applicable limitations period, purchased one or more Anker SOLIX products advertised as discounted from the reference price and who have not returned the purchase. Fantasia Trading LLC is the Delaware entity, based in San Bernardino County, that our complaint names as the Anker defendant.
The case covers the SOLIX line broadly: portable power stations, solar generators, solar panels, home backup systems, and expansion batteries.
The court has not yet decided whether to certify a class. One thing many people don't realize: you don't have to sign up to be part of a class. If a class is certified and there's a recovery, class members are covered automatically.
Then why contact us? We're looking for additional class representatives.
Every class action is led by class representatives—real customers who stand up for everyone else in the case. A class representative is named in the lawsuit, stays informed as it proceeds, reviews key filings, and may sit for a deposition. Their job is to make sure the class's interests come first.
We're looking for additional class representatives, and we're particularly interested in hearing from people who bought an Anker SOLIX product other than the C2000 Gen 2—an F3800, an F3800 Plus, an F2000, an E10, a solar panel, an expansion battery, or a home backup system.
The strongest candidates are California citizens who:
bought an Anker SOLIX product, especially directly from anker.com or ankersolix.com;
bought it while it was advertised as discounted—a crossed-out reference price, a "% off" or "$ off" badge, an automatically applied coupon code, or a countdown timer saying the sale was about to end;
kept the product rather than returning it;
still have the order confirmation email, receipt, or Anker account order history, or a screenshot of the listing; and
would be comfortable being named in a lawsuit and staying involved as it moves forward.
If that's you, we'd like to hear from you. Please complete the form on this webpage.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an Anker class action lawsuit?
Yes. Warren Terzian LLP filed Coffey v. Fantasia Trading LLC, No. 26STCV13712, in Los Angeles County Superior Court on April 29, 2026. It alleges that Anker advertises its SOLIX products as discounted from reference prices Anker almost never actually charges, in violation of California's False Advertising Law, Unfair Competition Law, and Consumers Legal Remedies Act.
Is this the same as the Anker power bank lawsuits?
No. There has been separate litigation, brought by other lawyers, about Anker power banks and product recalls. Our case is not about product safety or recalls. It's about pricing—specifically, whether the discounts Anker advertises on its SOLIX power stations and solar generators are real.
What is Anker SOLIX?
Anker SOLIX is Anker's home-energy and portable-power brand. It covers portable power stations (the C-series and F-series, including the C2000, F2000, F3800, and F3800 Plus), solar generators, solar panels, expansion batteries, and whole-home backup systems like the E10.
What is a "reference price"?
It's the higher, usually crossed-out number Anker shows next to the price you actually pay—sometimes framed as a list price or MSRP, and often paired with a "$ off" or "% off" badge. Our complaint alleges that for the products we tracked, Anker never actually sold at that number during the periods we checked.
A coupon code was applied automatically at checkout. Does that matter?
It's part of what we're challenging. Our complaint alleges Anker uses automatically applied promotion codes as another way of presenting an everyday price as a special discount. If a code applies itself to every buyer, the "discounted" price is simply the price.
I bought my Anker SOLIX on Amazon instead of Anker's website. Am I included?
Possibly. The proposed class isn't defined by where you bought, so it should include Anker’s sales through Amazon. But it’s possible that the court might conclude differently.
I returned my power station. Am I included?
No. The proposed class excludes people who returned their purchase.
Does it cost anything to participate?
No. Submitting your information is free. In class actions, attorneys' fees are typically paid out of any recovery and must be approved by the court—they aren't billed to class members.
I don't live in California. Can I still submit my information?
The proposed class covers California citizens. If you bought an Anker SOLIX product while living elsewhere, you can still submit your information—consumer protection laws in other states may offer their own remedies.
I bought a Jackery, EcoFlow, or Bluetti power station instead.
