We’ve just spotted the Anker Solix C1000 at $430 — a massive $369 off its regular price. While this isn’t the lowest we’ve seen, it’s one of the better prices on the market. The deal won’t last for long, though, so be quick if you want it.
It’s always good to be prepared for potential power outages. Or you could get a head start on planning your next camping adventure. A reliable backup power source is an excellent addition in either scenario.
The C1000 has an upgraded HyperFlash system, which can recharge the station to a full charge in less than an hour with its 1,300 watts AC input, and solar charging tops it up in less than 1.8 hours. It can also deliver a 1,800-watt output, or 2,400 watts peak (surge power), continuously across 11 ports. That makes this compact power station ideal for powering appliances, tools and tech. Its 1,056-watt-hour LiFePO4 battery is rated for a long lifespan.
Another plus is its portability. Compared to similar units, Anker has shaved 14% off the size and 11% off the weight, making it easier to stash in a closet or move from room to room. Unlike some compact power stations, this model also offers battery capacity expansion so you can double your power when needed.
Some of its key features include:
- Delivers up to 1,800 watts continuously, with a 2,400-watt surge power for high-demand devices.
- Powers up to 11 devices at once.
- Recharges in less than an hour.
- Switches to battery power in 20 ms to keep devices running without interruption.
- Compact and lightweight for easy transport and storage.
- Long-lasting battery life with up to 3,000 charge cycles.
