Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 Portable Power Station
Overview
The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 is a Guinness World Record-holding portable power station delivering 2,000W continuous output (3,000W peak) from a 1,024Wh LiFePO₄ battery pack that recharges fully in just 49 minutes — the fastest in its class. It packs 10 ports including five AC outlets, dual 140W USB-C ports, a car outlet, and supports 600W solar input, all in a compact 24.9-pound package that is 14% smaller and 11% lighter than the original C1000. With 3,000+ cycle life, 10ms UPS auto-switchover, and full app control via Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, it is equally suited for home backup, van life, tailgating, jobsite power, and emergency preparedness at a competitive $499 price point.
