The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 is a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 power station with a 2,000W AC inverter (3,000W peak surge) designed for camping, van life, RV travel, and home backup. It features multiple recharge paths: wall (49 min to full via 1,800W), car alternator charging (included charger), and solar input (up to 500W). The station includes 2 AC outlets, 2 USB-C PD ports (100W combined), 2 USB-A ports, and 12V car output. LiFePO4 chemistry supports 4,000+ cycle life for long-term reliability. At 27.5 lbs, it's moderately portable for its capacity. The alternator charger bundle is a differentiator for mobile use cases (RVs, vans), enabling rapid top-ups while driving. Community reviews praise the fast wall recharge and solid build quality, though some note the fan can be audible under sustained load. Priced at ~$600–$1,000 (frequently discounted from $1,398), it offers competitive $/Wh value versus rivals like EcoFlow River 2 and Jackery Explorer 1000.
