Most people buy a portable power station to keep their refrigerator running during a power outage. The Anker SOLIX S2000 can power your appliances for up to 35 hours. This model has a 2,010Wh LiFePO4 battery and can deliver 1,500W of pure sine wave AC continuously, and it can deliver 3,000W in peak mode. When your utility company goes down, the SOLIX automatically shifts over in less than 10ms. The unit weighs approximately 35.7 pounds and is roughly 30 percent smaller than most two-kilowatt stations available today.
Head over to Amazon to get the Anker SOLIX S2000 Portable Power Station for just $650, down from its usual price of $1,199. That’s a $549 discount and 46% off.
A high-capacity portable power station to keep you online
TÜV SÜD A+ independently certified the 35-hour refrigeration runtime, making the SOLIX S2000 the first product in its category to carry that rating. Many portable power stations show how many watt-hours they contain on a specification sheet. Unfortunately, much of that energy never reaches your devices due to idle drain and conversion loss. OptiSave technology built into the SOLIX reduces this waste to a 6W standby draw, so nearly every watt-hour stored in the battery reaches whatever you have connected.
This level of continuous power should support all household items except heating elements. Refrigerators, routers, CPAP machines, light bulbs, televisions, and coffee makers can all run off it, and rotating between them means one unit covers your essentials. When a microwave or compressor turns on, it draws extra energy, and the 3,000W peak rating lets the system handle those surges. Having one unit should carry you through at least a full day without grid power.
LiFePO4 chemistry also provides longevity. Anker rates the cells to withstand up to 10,000 charge cycles with a 15-year design life. In comparison, most competing stations sit somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 cycles before capacity falls off.
The UPS switchover time is under 10ms, so your desktop computer or sump pump won’t know you lost grid power. Running sensitive equipment through the S2000 protects you from losing data if you’re in the middle of something important when the power goes out, or worse, prevents water damage to your home if a sump pump goes offline. Since you don’t have to physically be present for any of this to happen, the S2000 could save you time, money, and possibly property damage.
Solar input on the SOLIX S2000 is limited to 400W. Assuming ideal sunlight, it takes about six hours to fully recharge the battery through solar alone. If you start with a partial charge, going from 20% to 80% takes roughly three to four hours at the same input, so a sunny afternoon can restore most of the capacity. At 8.2 by 11.1 by 12.7 inches, the Anker SOLIX S2000 Portable Power Station tucks into a kitchen corner or a hall closet until the day you actually need it.
