SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 Portable Power Station

We are pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of this model. We expected it to be on the heavier side, but it's lightweight and compact. The handles are very during and ergonomic. The charge was incredibly fast. The unit arrived at 70 percent and charged to 100 percent in less than 10 minutes. The set up was a breeze. Used a QR code to download the app, which controls the unit remotely. It shows the temp of the unit and battery level. It's very useful because you don't have to be near it (we tested it two floors down in our home) to see how the unit is doing. We plugged in a mini fridge and it worked like a charm. It can handle quite a bit. We tested it for 30 minutes on the mini fridge and it retained a 99 percent charge. Highly recommend this versatile unit! It's great!

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 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.

I’m extremely impressed with the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2! It has plenty of power for everything I need, and the 1,024Wh capacity gives me great peace of mind when I’m camping, traveling, or simply want reliable backup power at home. The 2,000W output is a huge plus, and I love having multiple ways to power different devices and appliances. It feels very well built and sturdy, while still being portable enough to take on trips. The LiFePO4 battery is another feature I really appreciate because it gives the power station a premium, dependable feel. Setup was straightforward, and the controls are easy to understand. This is definitely one of those products that you don’t realize how useful it is until you have one. You can't even hear it when its on! Great it last more than 8 hours!

Bought for $400 Prime Day. I had tried a different brand before, but the output didn't perform as advertised, so I returned it. Did a little more research on brands and models and settled on this one. Be aware G2 has some changes from G1, like no expandability. We have an RV and a small portable generator. We also lose power often in our home. Fortunately, we've always been home when the outage lasts long enough to lose refrigerator contents to spoilage, and I can get the generator going. However, we do travel a lot, and I was looking for some unattended help with this problem, without spending $10K on a large Generac home unit. I used a hole-saw to cut a hole into the bottom of the cabinet above our fridge. I also drilled a few vent holes in the top, and then also bought a couple of extension cords. This unit supports 1,800 watts in UPS pass through mode. It sits up there at 100% charge all the time, 86 degrees. We experienced a power outage yesterday, right before we were leaving to attend a concert downtown. I didn't really have time to mess with the generator, and I didn't need to! This unit worked flawlessly and covered us for the 5-hour outage. We were thrilled. Depending on room temps and fridge/freezer usage, my testing indicated somewhere between 6-12 hours of solid backup. We would have to be opening it a lot and getting water and ice for it to be limited to 6 hours. That would all be very unlikely in a power outage situation, especially when we're not home. Very pleased with this unit. We might take it with us glamping in the RV if we only need a night or two without power. Easier and quieter than our portable generator. We can charge it via outlet, solar, or car 12v.

I have had to use this several times already when the power went out in my home. It's a little heavy, to be expected, solidly built, but I could easily pick it up and move it to where needed. I had several items plugged into it and had no problems with it. I was planning to plug my fridge into it but the power came back on after a few hours so I never got a chance to see how that worked out. I had a fan, a light, my cellphone, laptop and a cpap machine plugged into it. After four hours I still had over 90% energy available. It was a great value for the money, I got it on sale. It seems reliable and easy to use. I highly recommend this unit.

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.

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.

Anker SOLIX super nur das Solarpaneel müsste stabiler sein

I have been extremely impressed with the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2. I have used it to power fridges for several days at a time, and it has handled everything I have asked of it without any issues. The charging speed is one of the biggest advantages. It recharges incredibly quickly, which makes a huge difference compared with older portable power stations. It also has a massive amount of usable power for something that is surprisingly compact and light, so it is easy to move around despite its capacity. I own quite a few Anker products and have consistently found them to be extremely well made and reliable. This feels no different. The build quality is excellent, it is simple to use and so far it has been completely dependable. A genuinely superb bit of kit and one of those products that quickly becomes far more useful than you expected.
