"The 2,000-watt continuous output means you can run big appliances that cheaper power stations can't handle, like full-size refrigerators, microwave ovens, power tools, and space heaters. The 3,000-watt surge capacity kicks in when devices need more power to start up: This is important because many motors and compressors use a lot more power in those first few seconds than they do when they're running normally."
"LiFePO4 battery chemistry has a lot of advantages over the lithium-ion cells found in cheaper batteries. For example, they last longer and can be charged more times before their capacity starts to drop. These batteries also work better in extreme temperatures than regular lithium-ion batteries as they can keep working in the cold when other power stations would fail."
Anker’s Solix C1000 Gen 2 delivers 2,000W continuous and 3,000W peak power, an increase over the original model’s 1,800W. The unit includes a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 battery that can run a typical refrigerator for 12–15 hours or power a laptop for several workdays. LiFePO4 chemistry provides longer cycle life, more charge cycles, and better cold-temperature performance than standard lithium-ion cells. The Gen 2 is discounted to $371 from $549, undercutting the original model’s sale price and offering a superior price-to-wattage ratio versus competitors like EcoFlow and Jackery. The surge capacity prevents trips when motors or compressors start.
