Whether you are planning a road trip this spring or looking for a reliable emergency backup for your home, now is an excellent time to invest in a portable power station. Most of Anker’s Solix lineup is on sale today, including the Solix C1000, which has plummeted to a record low of $397, 50% off from its original $799.

Alternatively, the solar generator bundle, which includes a 100W solar panel. is also heavily discounted. At a sale price of $547, this package offers an even larger savings of $780 off the regular retail price.

Why the Anker Solix C1000 (Gen 1) is Still a Top Choice

While a second generation model now exists, the original Solix C1000 remains a highly competent and reliable power solution. Since its launch, it has been one of Anker’s best selling units, and it continues to serve as a cost effective yet dependable alternative to newer, more expensive models.

The heart of the device is a 1,056 Wh LiFePO4 (LFP) battery. This capacity is expandable if you need to power multiple devices for extended periods, but the built in storage is already ample for small to medium appliances. For example, it can run a full sized refrigerator for approximately 14 hours or recharge a laptop more than a dozen times. Additionally, the built in UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) feature ensures that critical equipment, such as CPAP machines, remains protected and powered during a blackout.

In terms of design, the C1000 is 15% smaller than most competing 1 kWh power stations. It features a modern aesthetic and two sturdy handles for easy transport. Despite its compact size, it packs a punch with an 1,800W output and a wide array of ports. The front panel alone offers six AC outlets and four USB ports to accommodate all your gear.

Charging speeds are equally impressive. When connected to a standard wall outlet, the unit can go from 0 to 100% in just under an hour. For off grid enthusiasts, the solar generator configuration supports rapid recharging via solar panels, making it an ideal companion for life on the road.
