Portable Power Stations / Anker
Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2
2,000W real output and a 49-minute recharge — but no longer expandable.
Overall score 7.1/10
Pros
- + 2,000W continuous with a genuine 3,000W surge is the strongest real output at 1kWh here
- + 49 minutes to full is the fastest recharge of any station in this list
- + Five AC outlets and two 140W USB-C ports
- + Routinely discounted to around half its list price
Cons
- − Gen 2 deliberately removed battery expansion — if you want the add-on pack you need the Gen 1 C1000 or C1000X instead, which is easy to get wrong when both are listed
- − Only 12W from the single USB-A port
- − 600W solar is good but well behind the EcoFlow's 1,000W
Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 review: what the specs say
2,000W real output and a 49-minute recharge — but no longer expandable. At $799, Anker's 2025 model sits in the middle of the range — the portable Power Stations we compare run from $249 to $4,799. It scores 7.1/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Recharge Speed at 9.5/10 — how quickly it refills from mains power. The weakest is Expandability at 1.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: gen 2 deliberately removed battery expansion — if you want the add-on pack you need the Gen 1 C1000 or C1000X instead, which is easy to get wrong when both are listed; and only 12W from the single USB-A port. Every specification on this page comes from Anker's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
