TL;DR The S2000 is a 2kWh-class portable home power station with under 6W idle draw.
Outlets on both sides make it easy to hook up multiple appliances.
Early-bird shoppers can buy the S2000 for just half its suggested retail price.
Battery-based power solutions tend to come in two forms. We’ve got super-portable units that are perfect for camping. And we’ve got full-on home backup systems like the Anker SOLIX E10. The trickier bit is treading the line between the two, offering the power and optimization of a home system while leaving enough portability on the table to easily move things around as needed. Today Anker SOLIX is launching its new S series with the S2000, a home power station that attempts to do just that.

There are three main highlights that make the S2000 stand out: its power capacity, its efficiency, and its space-saving design. Anker SOLIX has equipped the power station with 1,500W AC output (3,000W peak), which gives it more than enough juice to handle the needs of kitchen appliances. And because it’s made with LiFePO4 cells, it can keep powering those appliances across a claimed 10,000 recharge cycles.
But it’s one thing to just power an appliance with a battery — it’s another to stretch that battery’s charge out for as long as possible. Anker SOLIX points out the S2000’s exceptionally low idle power consumption, at under 6W. That’s just a half to a third of competing units, and lets you use the battery for hours and hours without losing so much of its charge to the unit itself.
