Anker SOLIX C1000 (Gen 1)

The Anker SOLIX C1000 (Gen 1) is a 1,056Wh LiFePO4 portable power station with 1,800W continuous output and SurgePad-style headroom up to about 2,400W peak—aimed at home backup, outages, RV, and outdoor camping. With UltraFast recharging enabled in the Anker app on AC (smartphone required), Anker cites about 0–80% in roughly 43 minutes within a roughly 68–122°F operating window, and a full charge in under about an hour in ideal conditions. LiFePO4 is paired with a 3,000-cycle to 80% story and roughly 10-year lifespan marketing. Eleven versatile ports cover a wide mix of appliances in campaign positioning. Solar input reaches up to about 600W, with marketing citing about a 1.8-hour full recharge from solar in ideal conditions. The chassis is marketed as about 15% smaller than comparable ~1kWh-class units. Wi-Fi/Bluetooth app control supports charge-speed customization and statistics. At about 27.6 lb it stays more portable than many heavy-duty stations. In the box: SOLIX C1000, solar panel connector, AC charging cable, car charging cable, and user guide (solar panel optional on Amazon). This Amazon attribute set lists ~230V AC—confirm regional SKU/voltage for your country before purchase. Weight: about 27.6 lbs.
