Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 Portable Power Station, 1,024Wh, 2,000W, Camping | 1,024Wh LiFePO4 Battery, Full Charge in 49 Min, 2,000W Solar Generator (Peak 3,000W) for UPS, Outdoor and Emergency Use

Love this and really all Anker Products I've used to date. First off it's very light and compact for a 1 kWh battery. The nominal output just blows away typical UPS type backup equivalent - although this is a little pricier. The app is very easy to setup and use, and also fun to mess around with. Use wifi instead of bluetooth and it seemlessly allows connectivity through the web, so you can monitor from anywhere. I love the Time of Use mode, which will pass through A/C load during Mid-Peak times, charge the battery when most cost effective to do so, and also drain a set perecentage of the battery during the costly Peak cost windows. It also does the math for me to know the tangible cost savings as time goes by. I'm looking to eventually purchase either a bigger brother (F3800 Plus, or E10) in the future, as I really trust Anker as a brand. Their product features, aesthetic, and quality are truly top notch.

I purchased the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 as my primary power solution for camping and emergency backup. Paired with a 200W solar setup, it has exceeded my expectations for both speed and reliability. Performance Under Heavy Load (AI Coding) This unit isn't just for charging phones; it handles laptops as well, with ease. I tested the SOLIX while running my Dell Latitude 3550 (Core Ultra 7 155U CPU / Intel ARC Integrated GPU) at full performance. Even with a heavy AI coding workload pulling approximately 60W of power from the battery, the SOLIX managed the pass-through power perfectly. While connected to solar, the battery never dropped below 99% during an hour of intense work; it would consistently hit 100% and automatically manage the charging cycle. CPAP Reliability My primary goal was to ensure I could run my CPAP machine indefinitely while off-grid. Nightly Draw: A typical night uses about 17% of the SOLIX’s total capacity and I consistently wake up with the unit at 83% charge. Charging Versatility The flexibility in how you can "refuel" this unit is a standout feature: Renology 200W Rated Solar Panel Suitcase: This solar setup (pulling about 154W in clear Utah skies) recovers that 17% in less than 2 hours of decent sunlight. AC Wall Power: On a standard 110V outlet, it is incredibly fast—charging from 83% to 100% in about 15 minutes. DC / Vehicle: From a standard 12V vehicle accessory outlet, it takes just under 2 hours to top off that same 17% margin. Solar: Even with a 10ft 12AWG extension cable laid flat on my truck's tonneau cover, the intake is efficient and stable. Pros Incredible AC Charging: 15 minutes to top off a night's worth of CPAP use is a game-changer. Smart Power Management: Seamlessly handles high-performance laptop loads while charging. Rugged Build: Reliable for vehicle-based camping and emergency use. Cons Storage/Protection: The unit really needs a protective case with pockets for cables and accessories. Between the XT60 adapters, the 10ft extension, and the AC cord, there is a lot to keep track of, and a dedicated storage solution is missing. Bottom Line If you need a reliable way to maintain a power station for medical devices, high-end development work, or off-grid living, the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 delivers. It provides the overhead and recharging speed to keep you running indefinitely. I am already considering adding a second set of identical panels to push this setup even further.

Absolutely love this!! I have three (for redundancy) and they power everything in the house: air fryer, microwave, 1850 electric heater - everything! One will power fridge n 5cu’ freezer for 14hrs straight. Recharge on 120v AC or off my gas generator in less than hour. Have solar panels to charge when needed. Saved me many times already through power outages here in the woods of the PNW, all the while keeping my elderly mother on hospice warm and cozy. THIS IS MY GO TO POWER SOURCE. I’d give 100 stars if I could.

I rarely write reviews but I felt compelled to do so for this unit. I live full time in a small camper van and have had many power stations over the years. Jackery, Bluetti, varying sizes capacities and outputs. This Anker unit is by far the best power station I have ever owned. It is absolutely fantastic. The 49 minute charge time was such a game changer for me. With the use of a small generator I can now power all of the AC appliances in my van for several days off of only an hour or so of generator use. Alternatively, I can charge it at the library and be in and out in less than an hour. On top of that, it's relatively small and light, well made, and has a intuitive user interface. The app also has a lot of really handy features and customizable settings. I know this review probably sounds sponsored at this point, but I assure you that is not the case. I really just can't recommend this unit enough. If you're on the fence about it I'd say just spend the extra money and spring for this one. It will pay for itself in the time and effort it saves you. So long as it continues to work without problems, I give this Anker power station 5/5.

I have been waiting to write this since I had a bad experience with the first Gen and I wanted to give a fair review. The first unit would not power on if it was not plugged into the wall. I emailed the company and explained that I am buying a Gen to use for power, and how can I use a Gen that will not power on without being attached to power... Like another reviewer had said, when problems arose with the first Gen, I had to send them a lot of info. When they started asking me for videos, I told them the unit had not worked properly since purchasing it and they need to replace it, no more endless emails and no pics... I had only had the unit for a few days when it started acting up. They sent me a call tag, I repacked the unit and sent it back. They waited until they received my first Gen before they sent the replacement. The second unit is perfect! I am really impressed with it's performance and have been putting it thru it's paces. It is fast to recharge if you plug it into the wall and it will recharge in my truck as well thru the "cig lighter". It does lose some power when you leave it unplugged. I had it sitting for a month or so and it was down to 95% but I plugged in a mini fridge and it has kept it running for almost two days now. Again, very impressed! I had been unable to get the first Gen to charge using the 100w solar panel that I had purchased. The new unit accepts the solar panel and will charge, slowly compared to wall power, but will charge. I can connect it to my iPhone with the app and it is nice to be able to check it and make sure it is still running. It is portable and on the small side so it fits nicely in my truck. I purchased this to use for power on a cross country trip. I am going to be truck camping for about a week and I don't want to use my truck's battery the whole time so this is perfect. I would definitely recommend this Anker power station. I am happy I purchased it and Anker did take care of the problems I had with the first unit by sending me a new one, so I feel confident with their company's warranty.

I've been using this for about 9 months now, and it has been great! Try to ignore a lot of the "boutique" YouTube reviews saying "wow it can run all this!" and take it for face value: 1000ish wh battery, AC support for most (if not all) 110v loads, usb c fast charging for devices, and a 12v car charger. It's a tool bordering on appliance. I use it to load shave. Charge by solar during the day, power my PC in the evening, and automatically switch back to grid power on low battery. Then when I'm out and about, it's just good CLEAN portable power. My biggest complaint, in low light, the solar input will click on and off looking for power. It's not LOUD, but it is noticeable if you're near the unit. Distracting when I'm in the same room. Then I disconnect solar and forget to plug it back in. This unit has the tools to disable solar input during unsuccessful power attempts or low light hours. Just needs some coding.

I’ve be using the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 for 2 months almost daily around the house, traveling by car and camping without a hiccup. I like the fact that the Bluetooth app lets you configure every aspect of the Anker backup. You can charge either 12vdc (cigarette lighter), AC 110/120 or solar. Depending on your power requirements it will last days or several hours before needing a recharge. I’ve set my preferred setting from 15% low discharge to 80% high charge @ 300watts. Device will shutdown if either of the thresholds are exceeded as I don’t want to fully discharge the battery or charge to 100%. Another nice feature for charging you can set the charge rate from 100 watts to 1200 watts. I prefer the lower as its less stain on the battery (think Tesla at a tier 3 supercharger). For solar charging it’s great especially during those extended camping trips. I built my own 200 watt solar array or you can purchase many already plug and play options (not like the well known “orange in color” company that forces you to purchase their own proprietary solar panel at double the cost). Hopefully it will last for years to come. Website says over 3000 charge cycles..

Another fantastic battery from Anker. This thing powered an airsense 11 cpap for 3 nights straight without needing a recharge. When I plugged it into the wall, it charged to full in under an hour. It did pull 1200 watts while doing so. It also recharged using my 100w Anker solar panel. Takes a lot longer at 60-80 watts, but it works. Handles are sized perfectly and are sturdy on both sides.

We have started doing a bit more off gridding in the camper. This is ideal for a weekend. It will charge all our devices and run the air fryer for an hour. It also comes with a 12v to charge back up through the engine if needed

Ottimo prodotto funziona alla grande, testato con vari elettrodomestici (lavatrice, macchina da caffè, tv, frigo, ecc.). Collegato anche con pannello solare 400w e carica bene con tanto sole.

Descontenta

Colis arrivé avant la date et en parfait état. Pas déçu et fonctionne super bien ! Je recommande fortement !

Werkt vooralsnog perfect. Heb er een 430Watt zonnepaneel op aangesloten. Werkt top.
