With winter at the front door, now is the perfect time to secure reliable power with a new station. Black Friday offers plenty of choices, and Anker’s portable power station lineup stands out as some of the best. This includes the Solix C1000 Gen 2, which has dropped to a fresh low of $349 from $799 at Amazon.

That’s a huge $450 cut, or 56 percent off the usual price. If you want even bigger savings, the solar generator bundle with a 200‑watt bifacial panel is available for $549, down from $1,598. That’s a massive $1,049 discount, equal to 66 percent off.

Why Upgrade to the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2?

There are plenty of reasons to consider the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2, especially if you’re using an older power supply. Measuring 15.1 x 8.2 x 9.6 inches and weighing 24.9 lbs, the Gen 2 is 14% more compact and 11% lighter. It also features two sturdy integrated handles for easier transport.

The exterior has been refreshed with a modern, practical design. A large LCD screen clearly shows battery and charge status, while the interface includes six AC sockets and multiple USB ports to power up to 10 devices at once. This is supported by a high output rating of 2,000 watts (3,000 watts peak).

Its 1,024 Wh battery provides reliable backup in emergencies, capable of recharging a laptop more than a dozen times or keeping a router running for over two days. A built‑in 10 ms UPS ensures sensitive equipment stays online during outages. Even better, it recharges fully in just 49 minutes, the fastest time for a 1 kWh power station.

You can also harness solar energy to refill the battery while on the go or set it up on a balcony. Direct charging from a generator is supported as well, adding flexibility to your setup.
