Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 review
Updated October 8, 2026
The SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 is a 1,024Wh station with 2,000W continuous output. Solar input is 600W, the highest figure in this 1kWh set. It weighs 24.9 lb, so plan on a two-hand carry. It does not take an expansion battery.
How Pack Current compares stations: the maker's published spec sheet, the live amazon.com listing, and recurring points in owner reviews (real solar input, fan noise, carry weight). Runtimes are calculated from watt-hours, with the math shown. How we compare.

What the numbers mean
Capacity is 1,024 Wh. This is fridge-class capacity for a named load — refrigerator, lamp, router — not a whole-house battery. Multi-day outages still need a recharge plan.
Continuous output is 2,000 W. That is the limit for what you can plug in at once. Surge is listed at 3,000 W. A fridge start-up can exceed continuous watts even when the watt-hour number looks fine.
Weight is 24.9 lb (11.3 kg). That is a two-hand carry from the car, not a backpack item. Solar input is listed at 600 W. Wall charge is usually faster than a folding panel in real sun.
Carton runtime claims stay marketing until the load is named. How we compare.
Outlets
5× AC, 2× 140W USB-C, 1× 15W USB-C, 1× USB-A, 1× 12V car (10A).
Inverter waveform on the published sheet: pure sine. Chemistry: LiFePO4.
Skip if
Skip it if you want to add an expansion battery later. This model stands alone. Skip it also if you need a 30A RV socket, or if you want the lightest box in the 1kWh class.
Good for a camping weekend, RV and van trips and a short home outage.

Common questions
- How long will the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 run a 12V fridge?
- A 12V compressor fridge often averages about 50W while it cycles. Usable capacity is about 870Wh, from 1,024Wh times 0.85. At 50W that is about 17 hours. At 60W the same math is about 14 hours. At 40W it is about 21 hours. Heat, duty cycle, and inverter idle draw move the result.
- Can the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 run a coffee maker or microwave?
- A drip coffee maker is often 800–1,200W. A microwave is often 1,000–1,200W at the wall. The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 is rated 2,000W continuous. Both of those ranges fit under that rating. Read the appliance label before you plug it in. Treat a boost or surge figure as a peak path, separate from the continuous rating.
- How fast does the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 recharge from solar?
- In ideal sun, 1,024Wh divided by 600W of solar input is about 1.7 hours. That figure is an ideal-sun floor. Real panels deliver less than their rated watts once heat, cloud, and a low sun angle are in the picture.
- How heavy is the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2?
- The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 weighs 24.9 lb. Plan on two hands from the car. It is a poor fit for a backpack.
