Our take on the C1000
- Who it suits
- Consider the older Anker SOLIX C1000 if you plan to expand storage to 2,112 Wh.
- Who should skip it
- Skip it if you will carry it often; it weighs 28.44 lb.
- Closest alternative
- The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 offers 2,000 W continuous output if expansion is unnecessary.
Good for
- Expanding from 1,056 Wh to 2,112 Wh with the BP1000 Expansion Battery.
- Six AC outlets with 1,800 W continuous output.
- SurgePad supporting devices up to 2,400 W outside bypass mode.
- Solar charging up to 600 W through a single XT-60 input.
Not for
- A 240 V well pump, because this model supplies only 120 V.
- Extended heating from a 1,500 W space heater.
Before you buy
- UltraFast wall charging requires app activation; standard input is 1,000 W.
- Anker's C1000 page lists 2,400 W surge, while the comparison table on Anker's C1000 Gen 2 page lists the C1000 at 3,000 W peak. We use 2,400 W.
- SurgePad runs devices up to 2,400 W but does not work in bypass mode.

What the C1000 can run
Estimated runtime on a full charge with one appliance plugged in. We assume 80% to 90% of the rated 1,056 Wh reaches the appliance. The start-up check compares each appliance's published start-up figure (volts times starting amps, in VA) with the stated surge rating. At small loads the station's own idle draw takes a large share, so actual runtime can fall well below the range.

Medical devices. A rating check is not medical advice; here is what device makers and the FDA say.
- CPAP without humidifier (ResMed AirSense 10/11 class): FDA: ask your device maker or supplier whether the device can run on batteries or a generator, and check settings after power returns. If the device is life-sustaining, seek emergency help. ResMed battery guide: it strongly recommends a ResMed DC-to-DC converter over a DC-to-AC inverter when running from a battery.
- CPAP with heated humidifier (ResMed AirSense 11 / 10): FDA: ask your device maker or supplier whether the device can run on batteries or a generator, and check settings after power returns. ResMed battery guide: it strongly recommends a ResMed DC-to-DC converter over a DC-to-AC inverter when running from a battery.
- Travel CPAP (ResMed AirMini): FDA: confirm with the maker or supplier that battery or generator power is suitable for your device.
- Home oxygen concentrator (5 LPM): FDA: ask the maker or supplier whether it can run on batteries or a generator, and use battery-powered lights rather than gas lights or torches when oxygen is in use. Seek emergency help if the device is life-sustaining.
- Nebulizer (compressor type), Power wheelchair or scooter charger (24 V, 8 A): FDA: ask your device maker or supplier whether the device can run on batteries or a generator, and check settings after power returns. If the device is life-sustaining, seek emergency help.
