Anker is marking National Preparedness Month with an unusual hook, a four-question quiz that tells you what kind of “prepper” you are, tied to a genuine discount on its SOLIX home backup hardware.
What's new
The SOLIX Backup Type Indicator takes about thirty seconds and is built to get people who'd never sit down and build a formal blackout plan to at least think about one. For every 200 completions, Anker donates a portable power station to one of two rural Texas emergency management agencies, Johnson County and Hill County. A companion sizing tool walks through which appliances need backup and for how long, then recommends a system, no account or sales call required.

Takeaway
Anker turning a genuine discount into a personality quiz is a marketing tactic, not a substitute for one. But the donation angle, a portable power station sent to rural Texas emergency services for every 200 quiz completions, gives it a specific hook beyond the usual vague awareness push, and $300 off a five-figure E10 setup is real money if you're already shopping for battery backup. The quiz is worth a passing mention for context, but the discount and the September 13 deadline are the actual reasons to care.
