The Anker SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station provides a convenient way to have reliable power when there are no wall outlets nearby. It uses a 1056Wh LiFePO4 battery and a 1800W AC Inverter with SurgePad support capable of handling surges up to 2400W, so things like refrigerators, appliances, power tools, and entertainment equipment can be turned on simultaneously. Fast AC Charging can fully charge the battery from dead to 80% in approximately 43 minutes and to 100% in under 1 hour.
A portable power station that can keep you afloat in emergencies
The C1000 can deliver power to both large appliances and small electronic devices simultaneously. The station is rated to deliver continuous power up to 1800W for standard 120V devices, and the SurgePad portion allows it to ride through brief power spikes up to 2400W without turning off. Eleven output ports offer AC, USB, and car-socket options, so you can connect a wide variety of equipment with a single box. The LiFePO4 battery pack is rated for approximately 3000 recharge cycles, which would translate into about 10 years of service. Regularly recharging the battery pack will not reduce its usable capacity.
Smart Control Features let you monitor their power usage without staring at the outlet. The mobile app communicates via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to display current input/output power and allows you to adjust the charging mode and auto-shut-off behavior. A clear LCD on the front panel displays charge level and power flow, while an integrated Ambient Light Bar provides simple lighting. The light bar offers multiple brightness levels and an SOS mode.
Convenient features make the C1000 ready for permanent installations. The built-in UPS feature maintains power to connected devices during an outage, with a transfer time of approximately 20 ms, reducing the chances that devices will shut down during a grid failure. Additional runtime can be added by attaching an optional BP1000 expansion pack that doubles the storage to 2112Wh without affecting how devices are connected to the C1000.
All necessary accessories are included, allowing you to begin using the C1000 with several charging methods immediately after opening the box. Included items are the Anker SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station, AC charging cord, solar panel connector, car charging cord, and a user manual. Solar Panels will need to be purchased separately. At a cost of $397 instead of the original list price of $799, this station provides fast charging, long-life LiFePO4 cells, high-rated AC output, and app-based control in a compact backup power hub.
