The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 is a power station for home and travel that, connected to the outlet, switches to the battery in ten milliseconds when the power goes out: the computer doesn't notice. The battery is lithium iron phosphate, and reaches 4000 charge cycles while retaining at least 80% of its original capacity.
It isn't expandable: the reserve stays the one it starts with. It charges from the outlet in under an hour and from the sun with portable panels. It withstands discharge from -20 to 40 degrees.
It's for anyone who wants a reserve for a fridge, router and a few lights during a power outage, or for a weekend off the grid. It's not for anyone who needs to cover an entire electrical panel, nor for anyone who wants to add capacity later.

The rest of the data comes from one page on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.
A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.
These numbers are calculated, not stated: they have no source to cite, they have a formula you can redo. The price used is the manufacturer's list price, which is stable and the same in every country — not a shop's price on the day.
