GoKawiilAnker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 has earned a spot in my trunk, and it goes with me wherever I know I may need power when working remotely or on camping trips. Its 1,24Wh capacity and 2,000W output make it powerful enough to run anything I own, all while staying portable enough to easily carry.
Are you looking for a capable power station that is actually portable? Let me introduce you to the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 ($799.99 at Amazon). I have been much more mobile lately, so this little guy came to my doorstep just at the right time. It has become my go-to trip and adventure companion. Should it be yours, too?
The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 excels when mobility is important

It has been a hectic past few months, and I have been on the go a lot. Seriously, I have spent so much time moving around that my car trunk now looks like my main storage space. I have been keeping all my necessities in there, including clothes, toiletries, extra shoes, snacks, etc. The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 is also almost always in there.
When mobility matters, you need something you can easily carry around. The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 measures 15.1 x 8.2 x 9.6in and weighs 24.9lbs. I can carry it on my own for a few blocks without breaking a sweat, often using only one hand. It has two handles, so you can definitely carry it with both hands, and this also makes it easier to carry between two people, each grabbing one handle. I have done this when taking it on a small hike to a campsite. As a point of reference, it is about as heavy as three gallons of water.
Sure, there are definitely smaller and lighter power stations out there, such as the Anker SOLIX C300 ($169.99 at Anker); those are usually not enough to run higher-power electronics. The C300 has a 300W output and a 288Wh battery. It’s great for charging mobile devices and small electronics, but it will fall behind if you try to plug in anything half-power-hungry. This takes us to the next topic: power.
