Anker has an impressive fleet of portable power stations, including the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2. Right now, it is on sale at Amazon for $429, which is $370 (46%) off and nearly half the original price.
The solar generator set, which includes a 100 watt solar panel, is also on sale for $599. This bundle is preferable if you are frequently on the go and away from a main power source for extended periods.
Why Buy the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2
For households looking for a portable power station with an ample supply, the Solix C1000 series is a highly recommended purchase. The second generation C1000 arrived as a significant update, featuring a new design and higher power output. These changes improve its portability while allowing it to power more types of high powered appliances.
The Solix C1000 features a 1,024 Wh LFP battery, which is slightly smaller than the previous version. However, this change allows for a notably lighter build at 24.9 pounds (11% lighter) and a more compact footprint at 15.1 x 8.2 x 9.6 inches (14% smaller). It also features a more modern aesthetic with five AC sockets and multiple USB-C ports on the front. Thanks to a higher peak output of 3,000 watts, it can accommodate multiple devices simultaneously without slowing down.

The battery capacity is enough to energize a fridge continuously for over half a day or run a router for two days or more. There is also a built in 10 ms UPS for seamless power transitions during outages, protecting sensitive devices like desktops and CPAP machines.
When it comes to recharging, the Solix C1000 Gen 2 excels. When plugged into a wall outlet, it can be fully charged from 0% to 100% in just 49 minutes, which is several minutes faster than the previous generation. Using a solar panel, it can be refilled in under 2 hours depending on the solar wattage available.
