Winter’s coldest stretch is here, and so is a flash deal on one of the most versatile power stations we’ve tested. The Anker Solix C1000 has returned to its lowest-ever price of $397, shaving $402 off the sticker and giving households and campers a rare chance to grab pro-level backup without the usual premium.
What the C1000 Brings
This compact station pumps out 1,800 watts continuously-peaking at 2,400 W-through 11 ports, so you can run fridges, space heaters, or a full campsite setup without swapping plugs. A 1,056 Wh LiFePO₄ battery stores the juice and is rated for 3,000 cycles, meaning years of daily use before capacity slips.
Recharge speeds set it apart. Plug it into a wall and HyperFlash tech refills the pack in under an hour thanks to 1,300 W AC input. Prefer solar? An array can top it off in less than 1.8 hours. If the grid dies, the unit switches to battery in 20 milliseconds, keeping desktops and medical gear alive.
- Powers 11 devices simultaneously
- Weighs 11% less and occupies 14% less space than rival units
- Optional expansion packs double total capacity when you need more runtime
