Data from official source

The Anker SOLIX C1000 uses automotive-grade lithium iron phosphate cells and pairs with a dedicated expansion battery when the starting capacity isn't enough anymore: the initial purchase isn't the last word on capacity.

If connected to the outlet, it switches over to the battery fast enough that a computer left on doesn't notice a power outage. Basic controls - AC outputs, charging, light - stay on the unit's buttons; the app is for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and firmware updates, not day-to-day use. It also accepts solar as an input, besides the mains and the car socket.

It moves by a handle, not on wheels: designed to stay at home or in a van, not to be dragged across a job site. It suits anyone who wants a reserve for a fridge, a router and a few lights during a power outage, or for a weekend off the grid; anyone who needs to power a whole job site or a business finds here a base to add capacity to later, not an already complete system.

Which documents this page rests on

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.

03 · Summary

Pros and cons

In favour

  • It pairs with a dedicated expansion battery when the starting capacity isn't enough anymore.
  • If the power goes out while it's connected to the outlet, a computer left on and the modem don't notice.
  • Peak support lets appliances with a high startup surge start up, beyond what continuous output alone would guarantee.
  • With fast charging from the outlet, it recovers a full charge in under an hour: useful if a power outage finds it already empty. source

Worth knowing

  • The USB-C ports power devices but don't recharge the unit: for that you need the outlet, solar, or the car. source
  • Peak power support doesn't work in bypass mode, nor with tools that require an extremely stable voltage. source
  • Double capacity only exists by buying the dedicated expansion battery for this series separately.
