Anker SOLIX sent me the C1000 to review and compare against some of the other power stations I've used so far. I thought it was going to just be an in-between model of the F1000 and F2000 (powerhouse 757 / 767), but it's got a couple of really surprising updates: geni.us/c1000

Nice video keep up the good work Tommy
I have a few sogens from different brands ecoflow , Bluetti, pecron. Thier customer service is all sub-par in my experience. Now Anker already has a U.S ready established customer service infrastructure in place because of all the its fairly long history of power banks and other devices. Anker is making some great stuff and some great moves for these sogens.
I got one of these to power my essentials during outages. I live in the northeast in a town with frequent outages. This unit will allow me to power my gas furnace, refrigerator, and a couple more essentials for several hours up to a full day in some situations. I can use my small gas generator to recharge this unit in an hour for another multi hour cycle. Compared to running a gas generator for 24 hours, this will be bliss. I will also set this up in UPS mode for the furnace when I am going to be away
I purchased the Powerhouse 555 on sale about a month ago (and I really like it) but I’m kicking myself for not waiting on this one. This one is literally perfect and has everything I want/need. Thanks for the great video! Really informative.
Thank you for the information I was waiting for the first person to make a review on this new anker power station.. and yes, well the Wi-Fi option way much better. Definitely planning to get one of these
Living in a four season state, I've been researching Power stations, due to increase in power outages.
This model Anker seems beneficial for apartment living.
Excellent review. I was on the fence between eco flow and this unit. Anger for me. Thanks!
Using a coffee machine in my camper will do the job nicely. Ideal for camping.Thanks !
5:59 Tommy, whatever you do,... Don't electrocute yourself 🔌. Thanks for producing these, I feel like you're keeping up with the torrid fast pace of releases in this product category. This is like when BMD started releasing a cascade of products right after the ATEM Mini in Fall 2019. There's a lotta product coming out in the battery/solar charger/backup it seems.
Thanks for the video.
Yours is the second video I’ve seen on this product. Yours is far superior, answering my questions about WiFi/internet connectivity and that it can actually sustain 1800w output. I’d love to know how long it took to run all the way down to 1%…
Solar generator designation seems wrong. I would call a solar panel a solar generator. This seems to simply be a power or battery bank. Do you call the pocket sized power bank a solar generator? I have a solar panel with a usb c connector that I connect to my pocket sized power bank to charge it. I wouldn’t call the pocket sized power bank a solar generator either. The only way I would consider calling a device a solar generator is if you actually connect it to solar panels to charge it, then maybe it could be a solar battery charger.
Thanks for this good video about the new Anker power station. It really punches above its weight in terms of power surge.
This power station is an electrical storage device. Yes, it gets electric from solar panels and then stores this. 'Generator' usually refers to a mechanical device, for example a machine using gas/diesel with rotating parts that creates electricity.
Well that's what I think.
Nice video , since you already have the 767 with the expansion battery can you check if the expansion battery of the 767 is compatible with the C1000?, Thanks
Hey, love the review I do have a question I just returned the 757 because with solar charger it would shut off ac power at night and in the morning when the sun went down or came up. Curious if it still does this also, will it automatically start charging on solar or like with the 757 do you have to press a button to wake it up? Thanks.😮
Would love to see you do a test of pecron power stations and compare to Anker. Great video review. Thank you
Great review, thanks. I wonder how nice the F3800 is going to be
Seeing that the EcoFlow Delta 2 and extra battery (2kw total) goes for $1050/1099 at Home Depot on sale I hope the Anker C1000 and extra battery can be in that range come Black Friday. The specs are close enough for my needs.
Good luck dealing with customers service if ya ever have an issue. I returned two delta after realizing it took 3 days and multiple messages to get a simple issue resolved. Anker makes it much easier.
@@user-oj8ss4zq3x I’ve never needed them, but multiple emails, messages on their social media platforms, eBay, inside their app have been fast and responsive.
On the other hand Anker is much less active on responses on RUclips, Instagram. And what pisses me off the most was their last live stream for the Solix F3800 that was a 1hr infomercial of other products. Others in the live stream felt the same way in the comments
@@user-oj8ss4zq3xI have zero issues with the delta 2. I use to have a Bluetti ac180 and first it had a fuse fault then tge screen broke
Have you updated the FW on your F2000? Mine wouldn't run a portable AC out of the box until I updated the FW.
How long did it power that 1800w though??? And do you know if it’s same solar panels as the 757? Tx.
Question: What kind of 12 vdc to 110 VAC inverter would I need to get the C1000 to fast-charge in my car?
On the pre-sale list 😎
Thanks for your upfront reviews. I just purchased the Anker F2000 767 as well as the battery supply and 2*200 watt panels. It only comes with a 10 ft cord that supplys the solar panel to the 767. Anker does not supply anything but the 10 ft cord. I need like 30 ft. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your comment. I would hit amazon for the 20ft XT60 extension cable, since those panels don't use MC4 connectors. amzn.to/3r2nJWR
I just ordered one I can’t wait to get it
I own 2.
@@boneharvester_eth4021 the pre Black Friday sale was legit I got the expansion for nearly cost
Hey have you tried to plug in the 760 expansion pack into the c1000??
Can I use this in a RV to trickle charge my chassis battery?
I have been looking for something good to power my Laptop and 2 monitors and also to get off the grid a bit. Is it worth getting the solar panel with this or can i just charge it from a wall outlet?
Hi have you noticed any self discharge or drain of charge when the C1000 is fully switched off and allowed to stand for several days or longer?
What about the bluetti 180??
I bought this with the 200 watt solar panel. The extra battery is about the same cost as the entire unit. You can power the unit with a 12 or 24 volt battery and a pure sine wave inverter. That’s what I’ve done. The LiTime mini has the same watt hours as the extended battery. I figure that in the (unlikely) event the Anker goes on the Fritz, you’ve still got a separate backup.
Hey bro, when you charge with a 24v battterg, does it provide the full 10 amps at 250 watts or no… I know Bluetti max out at 8 amps for 12 and 24v batteries into the solar input or xt60
Great video. Re your 767 - did you get a firmware update to run your window unit? (That's what solved my issue.)
Unfortunately, even with the latest firmware, that unit won't run on 767. It's a free-standing unit, and it's a few years old.. it likes to eat lots of power. Great for testing though, lmao.
can this be charged with renergy?
I love your channel, this stuff is so cool
What are your thoughts on hooking up triple fuel generator. 9000 watts should be enough to keep all the essentials things on. If you run out of gas you can have a propane back up and lastly have it run on natural gas if needed.
looks like an interresting product.
Would this or the Anker 757 be better suited to power a home fridge during a power outage?
Yes
Hi all, sorry if this is a dumb question. I am researching ups for my desktop setup. I was wondering if one of the power stations, especially this particular model by Anker can be used as an ups. Does it have the fast switching/cycling time that desktops need in case of power outage?
Yes
Can this be charged from a car battery?
its going to be this or the ecoflow delta 2
I want to run a portable fridge cooler for camping. Can it power that and solar charge at the same time?
Yes, absolutely.
I just got my external battery hooked it up seen both the C1000 and C1000X app said I need a firmware update I did it says v1.43 now I can't see the C1000X is there a way to back FIRMWARE OUT ? DELEDTED APP AND REINSTALLED no luck Anker closed :(
I just got mine! I love it. But I hate that no user manual is available. Nothing on Anker website on this item. so how did you know how to operate? How can I get the user guide and spec infor?
Same here I can't figure out how to solar charge it
6:20 The time in the display, which shows how long the power station can still supply the connected device with power, always jumps back and forth. This is not the case with the C800. What is the reason for this?
This is also clearly recognizable here. An error?
With the app, can you schedule when it charges like EcoFlow?
I haven't seen that option yet in the Anker app
How long did it last at 1800w power out? Great review.
Thank you! I didn’t time it with like a stop watch, but it was just over 30 mins.
Would you buy the 757 or this c1000 when you need it to last while drawing low power? The 757 offers more Wh, but maybe this is more effective?
I would prefer the c1000 of the two. I’m probably giving away my 757 soon.
@@TommyCallaway Thank you so much for your reply. Did you ever test how much Wh you can get out of this unit using AC? Would you do a test?
How long will it run that air conditioner?
How long where you able to run at 1800 watts?
I saw his reply to someone else who asked the same question...he said just over 30 minutes.
Sold. 🙌
How do i solar charge this?
Anker c1000 has a li-ion 30 battery as stated under the unit, but it says it has lifepo4 batteries
At only a 2X surge rating, the the high frequency, transformerless Anker Solix C1000 doesn't offer and insane surge capacity. Most inductive loads require at least a 3X surge rating. You might be able to start and run some high surge loads when this solar generators is new, but every time you fire up one of those inductive loads, you're shortening the life of the MOSFETs in your solar generator's inverter.
High frequency solar generators like this unit, run much hotter than longer lived, low frequency, transformer-based solar generators which makes the low cost, off spec, Chinese made components such as capacitors, diodes, resistors and ICs that are used in the cheap inverters that are used in these solar generators, far more prone to early failure.
Another major consideration with these high frequency, transformerless solar generators is safety. Most solar generators including this Anker unit are not even UL certified for safety. Because there is no output transformer to isolate the high current DC from the AC output, all it would take is for one of the MOSFETs in the inverter's H-Bridge circuit to short to ground or the waveform control circuitry to fail, and these units will can send dangerous, high voltage, high amperage DC current straight to your connected AC loads which will not only damage most AC appliances but can also set those AC appliances on fire.
A far better alternative is to invest less money and purchase a hybrid, low frequency, transformer based inverter charger and a few LFP battery and build your own "real" solar generator. Low frequency transformer based solar generators last many years longer than these high frequency solar generators, and can easily power high surge loads without being damaged and without damaging your appliances. That's why the big name brand inverter manufacturers like Schneider Electric, Outback Power, Sigineer, Victron and others, all use a low frequency topology in their offerings.
Most HVAC needs quiet start to work with batteries.
Maybe I missed it, but what air conditioner is involved in this demo?
I believe it was 14k btu.
Whynter 14k btu
Do you think this would be able to effectively power a mobile medical unit? The only items running nonstop would be a small 12v cooler/fridge, and charging laptop, 2 phones, and tablet. The only other periodic items would be a microscope and a centrifuge periodically. I’m looking at this as an alternative to buying an oversized alternator and paralleling marine batteries.
That seems super reasonable, you should easily be in the clear.
You may need to plug it into a wall outlet once in awhile to top it off if you’re just charging it with the 12v car outlet though
Hello can you tell me how many amps this 12volt battery contains. Thank you in advance.
Bonjour pouvez vous me dire combien d' Ampères contient cette batterie en 12volt Merci d'avance.
Any price announcement?
$750 w/ the presale discount
Could it Power a furnace?
Electric furnaces use 10kw to 50kw.. if that's the case, I don't think i've seen a single power station that can do that. If it's a gas furnace, those can use up to 800w, and it could run one of those for a little over an hour.
Honestly I prefer this set up over batteries in my house.
First, I have a question. Does this include a way to charge via 12V DC for while driving?
2nd, I wanted to take you up on your invitation to help you understand why I don't consider these a "generator" even when connected with solar panels. It is a power storage device first and foremost with some cool features like an inverter, wifi, and ups capabilities. When you connect solar panels, it's not fuel for a generator, it's a charging source for a battery with an inverter. The solar panel is collecting energy from the sun and charging the battery. The solar panel could function on its own and power some smaller wattage devices as long as there's adequate sunlight, and the LFP battery could power larger wattage devices until it is fully drained. This is not the definition of a generator, as the definition has always been known as in the past. I fully believe the word generator is being stolen and used as a marketing tool for these Battery/"power station"/ solar panel setups. People who are intimidated by technology and have a hard time understanding what a new product is, will instantly understand what it's supposed to do when you say the word "Generator". But it's misleading and could lead to a poor experience for said consumer down the road. I could see someone buying this powerstation along with a few solar panels and taking it camping for a few days, expecting to run some high draw appliances for longer than the battery and solar panel can support, and being surprised/disappointed that the fun has stopped and they must now wait and recharge; Only to be further disappointed that the camp site they chose wasn't in direct sweltering sunlight and/or the sun happened to go down like it tends to do sometimes. Now, they spent a few thousand dollars on all of this and they are embarrassed and frustrated by the experience because they thought it would be as simple as their old generator.
The reason a conventional generator is actually a generator is because it is using fuel to run a motor which is actually generating. That's the word. It is actually 'generating' a large amount of power on the spot via the gas powered motor. All a person needs to do is bring as much fuel as they need, and they can run this generator indefinitely. I'm absolutely not saying a generator is the better choice... of course there are drawbacks; noise pollution, actual pollution, and a level of danger from fumes and the fuel involved. But it is an actual generator, while the solar panel and battery setup is just that. A device which harvests energy from the sun and stores it in a battery. There is no 'generating' happening. The generating is happening in space via the fusion reactions happening in the sun. Solar panel collect; Battery, store. Thank you. (Takes drink of water)
Perhaps we can compromise, and call it a "Conditional generator" :)
@@TommyCallaway *sigh* Ok.. since you were nice enough to respond I'll take that compromise :)
@@kslip - and yes, you can recharge with your car 12vDC.
Thank you! Keep up the good work on your videos!
You only get 100w max w a cig connection which doesn't help that much with bigger stations over 500wh.
can it power a home refrigerator?
Definitely.
@@TommyCallaway Great. Thanks
Can it power a home refrigerator while getting charged from solar panels only. And what is the size of the panels you need for that?
Yes, it can power something while accepting a charge from solar panels. I used my C1000 to run my fridge for 4 hours to get an idea as to how long it could do it if the power went out. My fridge is a 2005 LG bottom freezer. It is far from the most efficient model out there. Anyway, it took about 25% of the battery to do that, and I was pulling about 120w when my fridge cycled on. You would probably need about 300 to 400w of solar panels to charge this up while using it. Solar panels will not put out their full claimed rating of power. For example, a 200w panel might only put out about 175w of power in ideal conditions. Having the extra wattage also means you can get more capacity when conditions are not ideal. You will probably want to input more than twice as what is used by wattage of your fridge because you cannot obviously charge with solar panels at night.
@@keithfillinger3182 Thank you
Anker is killing me with these voltage ranges, I'm trying to figure out how you would get 600 watts with that voltage and amp rage.
Have you considered a transfer switch of sorts or an interlock for an easier way to get batteries into your house?
Yeah the Delta 2 has the same voltage range but a higher amp limit of 15A to reach 500W
Mr Solar, good to see ya around bro
bluetti better. i sell my anker c1000 new. anker dont have option to charge it from ev charger for cars. bluetti has. i so sad to waste so much money for thing i useless for me.
Great video ! I Would love to see this go up against the delta 2 …honestly I’ve been using anker powerbanks for years , and for my power stations I have Ecoflow river 2 pro and delta 2 but these new anker power stations are Making me want to sell all my Ecoflow products and completely switch to anker only 😭😂
Yeah, Ecoflow needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat pretty soon, competition is getting thick.
Delta 2 is a solid unit unless you need the extra surge capacity. Charge time and solar not that different. Price is great on the Delta 2 also.
What I like about my EcoFlow River 2 is you can dial in charge speeds in 50 watt increments to control fan speed. Looks like the Anker only has 2 options for input charge speed.
