Are you in the market for a new portable power station or solar generator? You don’t need to wait for the Black Friday sale—some of our favorite and best-selling models are already heavily discounted on Amazon, including the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2.
While Black Friday is still weeks away, you can already snag some of the best deals on portable power stations and solar generators. One standout is the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2, which has dropped to $449 from $799, which is a sizeable a $350 discount at Amazon.
If you’re looking for even bigger savings and the flexibility to charge the power station from your balcony or while camping, the solar generator bundle with a 200-watt panel is now $699, down from $1,598 for a savings of $899. The 400-watt option offers an even steeper cut, listed at $899 instead of $1,898, saving you $999.
Who is the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 for?
Launched in August this year, the Solix C1000 Gen 2 is more than just a refresh of the first-generation C1000. It features a lighter, more compact build for easier transport, weighing 24.9 lbs and measuring 15.1 × 8.2 × 9.6 inches. That makes it one of the most portable 1 kWh power stations available. Despite its smaller footprint, it includes seven AC sockets (US variant), multiple USB ports, and a car port.
In terms of capacity and power, it packs a 1,024 Wh LFP battery, which unfortunately cannot be expanded. The onboard power can run a standard Wi-Fi router for up to five days or fully charge a smartphone more than 60 times. It also includes a 10 ms UPS feature to protect sensitive devices from sudden outages. With a 2,000-watt output (3,000 watts peak), it can handle multiple high-power devices at once, including fridges and power tools.
Charging has been significantly improved. With UltraFast mode enabled, the Solix C1000 Gen 2 can recharge from 0 to 100 percent in just 49 minutes. It also supports solar charging with up to 600 watts of input. You can manage the power station through the Anker mobile app, which lets you monitor charge levels and toggle modes remotely.
Right now, the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is already a compelling buy, and you don’t need to wait for Black Friday. Let us know your plans in the comments.
