Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 Portable Power Station

I have been waiting to write this since I had a bad experience with the first Gen and I wanted to give a fair review.The first unit would not power on if it was not plugged into the wall. I emailed the company and explained that I am buying a Gen to use for power, and how can I use a Gen that will not power on without being attached to power...Like another reviewer had said, when problems arose with the first Gen, I had to send them a lot of info. When they started asking me for videos, I told them the unit had not worked properly since purchasing it and they need to replace it, no more endles

Bought for $400 Prime Day. I had tried a different brand before, but the output didn't perform as advertised, so I returned it. Did a little more research on brands and models and settled on this one. Be aware G2 has some changes from G1, like no expandability.We have an RV and a small portable generator. We also lose power often in our home. Fortunately, we've always been home when the outage lasts long enough to lose refrigerator contents to spoilage, and I can get the generator going. However, we do travel a lot, and I was looking for some unattended help with this problem, without spending

I have had to use this several times already when the power went out in my home. It's a little heavy, to be expected, solidly built, but I could easily pick it up and move it to where needed. I had several items plugged into it and had no problems with it. I was planning to plug my fridge into it but the power came back on after a few hours so I never got a chance to see how that worked out. I had a fan, a light, my cellphone, laptop and a cpap machine plugged into it. After four hours I still had over 90% energy available. It was a great value for the money, I got it on sale. It seems reliabl

I’m extremely impressed with the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2! It has plenty of power for everything I need, and the 1,024Wh capacity gives me great peace of mind when I’m camping, traveling, or simply want reliable backup power at home.The 2,000W output is a huge plus, and I love having multiple ways to power different devices and appliances. It feels very well built and sturdy, while still being portable enough to take on trips.The LiFePO4 battery is another feature I really appreciate because it gives the power station a premium, dependable feel. Setup was straightforward, and the controls are e

Another fantastic battery from Anker. This thing powered an airsense 11 cpap for 3 nights straight without needing a recharge. When I plugged it into the wall, it charged to full in under an hour. It did pull 1200 watts while doing so. It also recharged using my 100w Anker solar panel. Takes a lot longer at 60-80 watts, but it works. Handles are sized perfectly and are sturdy on both sides.

I bought this for car camping, overlanding. Before I could use it for that I need it for something much more important. A major snow/ice storm hit. Four big trees on my house, no heat and no electricity for ten days. My wife and daughter moved to a hotel. I stayed with the house and my dog to keep faucets dripping so the water pipes didn't freeze. A few nights were down to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. I have a small power station that I kept charged with the c1000 gen 2. That kept my att fiber going, I had no cell phone service, wifi calling was my only option. During the day I kept two small gas gen

I must say I really like this power station. My rating is really 4 and 1/2 Stars. Like most people, I did a lot of research with various manufacturers and when this one went on sale, I bought one.My background is that I've been an electrical engineer for over 50 years in the power industry. My college senior project was a 12 volt DC to 120 volt AC inverter. The technology has come a long way since then.What I really like about this power station is all the features and options and the app. All of that works well. I can't think of anything that I would change. I tested every possible input and

I purchased the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 as my primary power solution for camping and emergency backup. Paired with a 200W solar setup, it has exceeded my expectations for both speed and reliability.Performance Under Heavy Load (AI Coding)This unit isn't just for charging phones; it handles laptops as well, with ease. I tested the SOLIX while running my Dell Latitude 3550 (Core Ultra 7 155U CPU / Intel ARC Integrated GPU) at full performance. Even with a heavy AI coding workload pulling approximately 60W of power from the battery, the SOLIX managed the pass-through power perfectly. While connec
