Introducing the brand-new Anker SOLIX C1000 portable power station. It’s an impressive 15% smaller than the industry average of similar capacity models. A short time ago, Anker released the significantly smaller capacity, Anker 535, with 512 Wh and 500 W. The Solix C1000 is only slightly larger in size but has more than triple the power capacity with 1056 Wh and 1800 W output.
This reflects how the technology has rapidly progressed in the power station market. Anker pushed the envelope with the SOLIX C1000 in a few other critical areas, like recharging. By maxing out the 600-watt solar input, it can recharge in just 1.8 hours. That is an astounding 40% faster than other power stations with the same capacity.
Additionally, it’s pretty competitive for AC wall charging. The Anker SOLIX C1000 portable power station can recharge from 0-100% in just 58 minutes. That’s 27.5% faster than similar-capacity power stations. To achieve this speed, the user must turn on the UltraFast charge mode in the app. It connects to the SOLIX C100 via Bluetooth or WiFi. There, you can remotely control it, adjust settings, and, importantly, monitor usage.
