Anker SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station with Car Charging Cable, 1,056Wh

Update: Returned home after a 30 day trip back in May 2024, traveling from NC to upstate NY in our northstar SC 650,. We used this the Solix C1000 with the expansion battery everyday. Although It won't power our rooftop AC, it powered everything else. Came in super handy during quiet hours when we wanted to use our microwave, or keurig coffee maker and so on. We do carry a generator on board so at the end of everyday around 4-6 pm, we would start our generator and backcharge our entire system. Our onboard solar system would charge our "house battery" but the generator would top off the anker system in about 1-1.5 hours depending on how much power was drawn off the system. We keep the system in our camper and backpower through the shore power hookup. It worked flawlessly for the entire trip. It's pretty handy given the weight, I put the main system where we want it and then stack the auxiliary battery and hook them together with the provided cord. No regrets on this purchase to date. The C1000 and BP 1000 work well for our specific needs and physically handling the system wrt weight is just right! Hope this update helps someone out who is looking for a similar system for a similar application. After purchasing the solix C1000 and then partnering it with the BP1000, I have doubled the output watts I desire to power my northstar sc650 truck camper over a longer offgrid experience. Although I've not tested it on a multi day trip yet, but testing over several hours and running the things I normally would on shore power, I am extremely happy with what it can now power over extended periods of time. Literally running multiple items from our microwave, furnace, hot water heater, and more, when plugged into the surge pad socket with a 15 amp cord I am essentially running everything I need when I need it. The BP1000 discharges first and then will consume power from the C1000 and Vice-versa when charging the system back up. I believe that the system is setup this way so that the user will always have control over power charging and discharging The system does not have a pass through charge function but rather works like a UPS system in the sense that when plugged into shore power and backcharging, if power is needed to run something, the system will stop charging and immediately switch into ups mode and power what you need in the moment. Our plan is to use this system in campgrounds during quiet hours when gas generators cannot be used. Based on our particular wants & needs, I Would highly recommend. I wanted something small but that packed a high watt output when I need it. So far, so good. Boondocking in my northstar truck camper I am able to backpower the entire camper with the Solix C1000 for about a 24 hour period. This depends of course on what I am running. Occasional microwave oven use, my fridge on propane setting, lights, water pump, even the hot water heater and hot air furnace, again, limited high use items. Only used so far on 2 overnight trips. Next morning I use an 1800-2200 watt generator to power the anker back to full from about 15% only drawing a set watt charge of about 750. The generators rpm only increase a little bit and the anker is charged in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. I could increase my charge watts to 1000 and be done inside of 50 minutes or less but I want to break the unit in several charge cycles first and I like running my generator on eco mode. The anker is not heavy at only 28 lbs and I can set it up on my campers kitchen counter or just about anyplace else inside my rig. I bought it for $650 from amazon, anker Direct, and it shipped to my house in under 5 days and came in just under $700 total, a great buy in my opinion. I am looking to eventually buy the expansion battery to give more power in depth but am in no rush at this point. I am 100% satisfied with this small yet powerful unit. It definitely lives up to what it says it can do, also, the app is simply incredible. Great job to the folks at anker. Highly recommended, just do your homework on what you plan to use it for. I've been a goal zero fan for years but it's the older led acid yeti 400 and 1250 units. Great products and they still work great, I also have the ego nexus system and run 7.5 amp batteries on it, again, great units all around but this anker system takes the cake. Size, weight, power output, and charge times is what sold me!! Happy shopping.

Great: Charging and inverter efficiency. The battery is rated at 1056Wh but factoring in the inverter efficiency and it is just about 1 kWh of actual usable power. That is really good. The peak output power and surge capacity are great for anything I can think of to power with the station. The layout is nice. Having the inputs on the side and outputs on the front is a good idea for something that needs to be moved around a lot. It is a little heavier then the competition but the form factor and handles make it easy to handle. Okay: The App/firmware. Out of the box it worked fine as a stand-alone thing, but had connection issues with wifi and Bluetooth. That was resolved with the firmware update, but updating did require using the existing firmware to connect to it though wifi or Bluetooth... After updating the connection is stable. The app shows you all the important stuff like how much power is coming and going out and how long the battery should last. One thing I really wish it tracked was solar power over time. Around here it is rare that even on the sunniest of days that there aren't at least some passes clouds. Just looking at a snapshot of a particular moment isn't particularly useful for trying to budget power usage. Solar Panels: Fine. Fold up and travel nicely. Easy to setup.

I purchased this power station and sent it to my mom in Cuba, and it has been perfect. It is reliable, easy to use, and provides excellent backup power when needed. The battery lasts a long time, charges quickly, and gives great peace of mind during power outages. The quality is outstanding, and I am very happy with this purchase. Highly recommended!

It keeps 4 medical equipment at once working during 6 hours. About 600 wats in total. More than enough to finish the procedure, in case ac energy fails.

Anker is such a solid company making outstanding products. This power bank is no exception. I have actually bought TWO of these, because they are packed with power, and work so well. I did need to reach out to Anker customer service, which turned out to be no fault of the power bank, but my ignorance! Their customer service is absolutely top notch, and I cannot recommend them enough! If you need a high powered portable power station, this is a great, great buy!

As a UPS for a Bambu Labs X2D, it does work most of the time. I had one occasion where the power flickered, causing the printer to pause and require me to go into recovery. When the power has completely cut however, the battery kicked in right away and the print wasn't interrupted. Hopefully this doesn't happen again and they can address this in a future update. Outside of that, the battery is very straightforward to setup and smaller and lighter than many other options in this class.

We absolutely loved our Anker SOLIX battery, and honestly, losing it has made us realize just how much we relied on it. It became one of those pieces of equipment we brought with us constantly. Whether we needed dependable backup power, were working away from home, or just wanted the peace of mind of knowing we had power available when we needed it, our SOLIX was there. It was reliable, easy to use, and quickly became something we genuinely didn't want to be without. Unfortunately, ours was recently stolen from our vehicle along with our solar equipment. It was heartbreaking—not because there was anything wrong with the product, but because we genuinely loved having it and depended on it so much. There's something strange about writing a positive review for something you no longer have, but I think that says a lot about the product. When something gets taken and one of your first thoughts is, "I really want another one," it clearly did its job well. We miss our SOLIX terribly and hope that someday we're able to replace it. Until then, it absolutely earned our recommendation. Thank you, Anker, for making something that became such a useful and trusted part of our everyday lives. ♥

This thing is a powerhouse, but it is very, very heavy. Although the product displays it weighs about 28 lbs, it feels more in between 40 lbs to 60 lbs. I tested it on my first night using basic appliances: a phone, a fan, and a small air pump compressor. It went from 100% to 67% in about 8 to 9 hours. I'm very impressed with this product. The Type-C ports made my phone charge at super-fast charging 2.0 on the 100W port and super-fast charging on the 30W port. I'm not sure of the speeds of the USB-A ports, but they get the job done. I wish the lighting on the top of the unit was a little brighter. It does appear to be a little dim. Maybe it's because of the color of the light; they should have used a white light instead of a yellow light. But it's still going to light up a dark room. It comes with a car charging cable that's about 9 ft long, but the actual AC wall charging cable that comes with it is only about 4 to 5 ft long, which is surprisingly short for something this size. It should at least be the same length as the car charging cable. It also came with some solar power connectors that I'll never use since I'm not a solar guy, but I guess it's good to have for possible future use. Great product, I would consider getting either a second device or an expansion battery. Also, it's on sale, that's another plus and this is a very expensive item at regular price but at $430 that's a lot more affordable than $800. I also love the color looks better than the gray model, which is priced at $470. Anker is the best 👌

After seeing many good reviews for the Power Station, I decided to purchase one for my camping trips. I am glad I did. I have another Portable Power Station from Conpex with similar "Specs", but, oh boy, the difference is huge! In combination with my 400W Solar panels, this thing basically never runs out of power when I use it with my electrical camping gear. Although I never had to use it for this purpose, I also think that should there ever be a power outage the Solix C1000 will be a good addition to my household to keep essential appliances running. AAA+++

Voila 1 an que nous utilisons cette batterie principalement pour du car camping et alimenter un réfrigérateur BougeRV Aspen ainsi que la charge de tous les équipements électroniques. Lors du premier essai, il a été branché a la prise voiture et le Aspen. Nous avons eu la surprise que la batterie s'est arrêtés dans la nuit. Heureusement qu'il ne faisait pas trop chaud et le réfrigérateur était toujours froid au matin. Plus tard ce problème a été corrigé avec une mise a jour du firmware. Il me permet d'alimenter le réfrigérateur de camping pendant 3 jours (en plus de charger d'autres appareils type cellulaire) si la température extérieure n'est pas trop chaude. Au dessus de 25 degrés C, cela peut descendre a 48 heures. L'appareil est costaud même si un peu lourd mais les 2 poignées sont vraiment pratique a l'usage. Point que j'ai aimé c'est sa recharge, en une heure maximum, la batterie peut être rechargé complétement. L'écran est très lisible. L'application sur cellulaire est pratique aussi pour voir l'état de la batterie. Il faut parfois lui forcer la main pour reconnecter l'appareil dans l'application surtout en l'absence de Wifi. La disposition des prises est très bonne et je n'ai pas rencontré de problème de place avec certains cables de charge. J'ai par la suite et grâce a de belles promotions, acheté des panneaux solaires ainsi que l'extension de batterie mais a ce jour je n'ai pas encore pu les utiliser. La seul chose que je n'aime pas avec l'extension de batterie c'est le cable de liaison qui va vers le C1000 qui est rigide et trop encombrant. Un cable plus souple aurait été apprécié. Au global, très bon appareil et qui peut servir aussi en cas de panne électrique a la maison. C'est toujours satisfaisant d'avoir de la lumière, internet ou pour garder en vie un plus gros réfrigérateur le temps que la panne soit résolue. C'est un produit hautement recommandé

I only received the solar panel. I did not receive the generator so I am unable to rate. Thanks

So glad I got one of these. Charges quickly, the phone app is very good and it delivers a lot of power. Just used it for the first time in anger when we had a power cut. It powered the air fryer easily to cook, then ran the WiFi router and TV for entertainment, and supplied light from the big torch on the front. Definitely worthwhile for home backup.
