Anker SOLIX C1000 Powerstation 1056Wh - 1,800W Output
Published on 09/22/2026 at 13:40 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Anker SOLIX C1000 Powerstation 1056Wh is a rectangular portable power station with a LiFePO4 battery, an integrated display, and a rated 1,800W pure-sine-wave AC output. Its 28.44-pound body measures 14.8 by 8.07 by 10.5 inches, putting a full 1,056Wh battery into a carryable but substantial format.
Capacity And Output
The C1000 stores 1,056Wh of energy in lithium iron phosphate cells. Anker rates the battery for 3,000 cycles before reaching 80% capacity, and the five-year warranty gives the unit a longer coverage period than many portable power stations.
Its pure-sine-wave inverter supplies 1,800W continuously and reaches 2,400W through SurgePad for compatible loads. The six AC outlets sit alongside two 12W USB-A ports, one 100W USB-C port, one 30W USB-C port, and a 120W 12V car outlet.
Charging And Connectivity
AC charging accepts up to 1,300W, while the XT60 solar input accepts up to 600W across an 11-60V MPPT range. TechRadar reports a full AC recharge time of 58 minutes, with the same source listing charging from AC, solar, and a vehicle as supported options.
The power station includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for app connectivity, plus a UPS switch time below 20 milliseconds. The display shows operating information directly on the unit, while the app adds remote monitoring and control.
Size And Category Context
At 14.8 by 8.07 by 10.5 inches and 28.44 pounds, the original C1000 is larger and heavier than the later C1000 Gen 2. The newer model is listed with 1,024Wh, 2,000W continuous output, and a 24.9-pound weight, so the original trades portability for 32Wh more capacity.
The C1000 fits the mid-size portable power station category for home backup, camping, RV use, and electronics support during short outages. Its six AC outlets and 11 total output ports suit several simultaneous devices, while the 1,800W ceiling limits its role with high-draw appliances that require more continuous power.
Price And Best Fit
NBC News lists the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 1 at $599.99 as of 09/17/2026. That places the original model below some launch-era pricing while keeping it in the established 1kWh portable-power category.
The C1000 is a fit for users who need 1,056Wh, multiple household outlets, app control, and solar compatibility in one unit. The 28.44-pound weight, 1,800W continuous limit, and lower capacity than Gen 2 define its practical boundaries.
