How do I use a solar charger to charge Anker SOLIX C1000?
- Use an 11-60V solar charger with an XT-60 connector.
- For 11-32V, the supported current is 10A max.
- For 32-60V, the supported current is 12.5A max.
- For best compatibility, use these Anker solar panel series: 625, 531, or PS400.
How should I store and maintain the power station?
- Turn off all outputs when not in use to avoid battery power loss.
- Store in a dry and cool area.
- Check battery capacity each week. If the battery level is below 30%, charge to 100%. Fully charge once every 3 months.
How do I use the Anker app?
- Connect to a network before using the app for the first time.
- After connecting, connect the power station to off-grid devices via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Why can't the car charger port charge my device less than 120W?
Please ensure that you first insert the car charging device and then turn on the car charger button switch to initiate charging. Failure to do so may trigger overload protection.
How do I activate SurgePad on Anker SOLIX C1000?
SurgePad activates when total output exceeds rate output.
Heat-generating devices work best. SurgePa does not support precision instruments and other devices with voltage protection or a strict voltage requirement.

The Solix C1000 boasts a variety of outlets, including USB-A and USB-C ports, AC outlets, and a car socket, making it versatile for different devices. The built-in display is clear and user-friendly, showing the remaining battery life, input/output power, and charging status.
Despite its impressive capabilities, the Solix C1000 is surprisingly compact and portable, making it easy to carry along on outdoor adventures or to have as a backup power source at home. The durable build quality and sturdy handle add to its appeal, ensuring it can withstand regular use.
While it may be a bit pricey compared to some other portable power stations on the market, the Anker Solix C1000 justifies its price tag with its impressive performance, versatility, and build quality. It's a reliable and convenient power solution for anyone in need of portable power for camping, road trips, or emergency situations.
Returned home after a 30 day trip back in May 2024, traveling from NC to upstate NY in our northstar SC 650,. We used this the Solix C1000 with the expansion battery everyday. Although It won't power our rooftop AC, it powered everything else. Came in super handy during quiet hours when we wanted to use our microwave, or keurig coffee maker and so on. We do carry a generator on board so at the end of everyday around 4-6 pm, we would start our generator and backcharge our entire system. Our onboard solar system would charge our "house battery" but the generator would top off the anker system in about 1-1.5 hours depending on how much power was drawn off the system. We keep the system in our camper and backpower through the shore power hookup. It worked flawlessly for the entire trip. It's pretty handy given the weight, I put the main system where we want it and then stack the auxiliary battery and hook them together with the provided cord.
No regrets on this purchase to date.
The C1000 and BP 1000 work well for our specific needs and physically handling the system wrt weight is just right!
Hope this update helps someone out who is looking for a similar system for a similar application.
After purchasing the solix C1000 and then partnering it with the BP1000, I have doubled the output watts I desire to power my northstar sc650 truck camper over a longer offgrid experience.
Although I've not tested it on a multi day trip yet, but testing over several hours and running the things I normally would on shore power, I am extremely happy with what it can now power over extended periods of time.
Literally running multiple items from our microwave, furnace, hot water heater, and more, when plugged into the surge pad socket with a 15 amp cord I am essentially running
everything I need when I need it.
The BP1000 discharges first and then will consume power from the C1000 and Vice-versa when charging the system back up.
I believe that the system is setup this way so that the user will always have control over power charging and discharging
The system does not have a pass through charge function but rather works like a UPS system in the sense that when plugged into shore power and backcharging, if power is needed to run something, the system will stop charging and immediately switch into ups mode and power what you need in the moment.
Our plan is to use this system in campgrounds during quiet hours when gas generators cannot be used.
Based on our particular wants & needs, I Would highly recommend.
I wanted something small but that packed a high watt output when I need it.
So far, so good. Boondocking in my northstar truck camper I am able to backpower the entire camper with the Solix C1000 for about a 24 hour period.
This depends of course on what I am running. Occasional microwave oven use, my fridge on propane setting, lights, water pump, even the hot water heater and hot air furnace, again, limited high use items.
Only used so far on 2 overnight trips.
Next morning I use an 1800-2200 watt generator to power the anker back to full from about 15% only drawing a set watt charge of about 750. The generators rpm only increase a little bit and the anker is charged in about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
I could increase my charge watts to 1000 and be done inside of 50 minutes or less but I want to break the unit in several charge cycles first and I like running my generator on eco mode.
The anker is not heavy at only 28 lbs and I can set it up on my campers kitchen counter or just about anyplace else inside my rig.
I bought it for $650 from amazon, anker Direct, and it shipped to my house in under 5 days and came in just under $700 total, a great buy in my opinion.
I am looking to eventually buy the expansion battery to give more power in depth but am in no rush at this point.
I am 100% satisfied with this small yet powerful unit. It definitely lives up to what it says it can do, also, the app is simply incredible.
Great job to the folks at anker.
Highly recommended, just do your homework on what you plan to use it for.
I've been a goal zero fan for years but it's the older led acid yeti 400 and 1250 units.
Great products and they still work great, I also have the ego nexus system and run 7.5 amp batteries on it, again, great units all around but this anker system takes the cake.
Size, weight, power output, and charge times is what sold me!!
Happy shopping.
8/7/24: With everything automated I've had absolutely no complaints. For whatever reason power goes out at 7am now quite regularly for about 10-15 seconds - this battery keeps my office going like nothing happened. I continue to offload power during peak hours without even a thought (automated plugs scheduled to turn on/off). The Anker app continues to work amazingly. Couldn't ask for better. I rarely hear the fans unless it is charging (and even then it's not loud if you keep the charging around 400w).
I did end up getting a C800 - just cuz I loved the 1000 so much. lol. I have it (acting as an UPS) for our ISP router and lamps in another room during peak hours - and it's a bit more mobile when I need power in places away from a plug. Also works nicely with the Anker App (both show up side by side).
My little place is ready for the rain and storms this fall/winter! I am planning on using these batteries for their full lifespan or until something major comes out.
6/3/24: Have had 0 problems with these batteries. Been using them almost every night to power my office from 4pm-9am. Excellent product - very happy with it. It's comforting knowing that I could power my place (fridge, internet, TV, computers) for at least 24 hours if we lose electricity again. Meanwhile, they function as power surge / protection and offload power to cheaper off hours (actually saving some money doing this - albeit very little but it's adding up every day). I bought some automated plugs that my phone turn on/off when it's 4pm-9am so I don't have to do anything to "offload" my power to cheaper times. LFP batteries are great - Anker is great. Hope y'all have a great 2024!
4/14: Finally - Firmware Update Fixes External Battery Issue
A few days ago Firmware 1.4.3 came out - looks like this has fixed the issue where when using the battery as an UPS and pull power for long periods of time then reconnect power - charging would refuse to happen unless one powered down/back up the external battery.
Been using my C1000 + external battery now for awhile to power my office from 4pm - 9am (averaging 70% of the external battery to 100% of external battery). Been working great (got in the habit of manually pressing the external battery button to power it down/back on every morning - so it would charge at 9am - looks like I don't have to do any anymore). :D
Very happy with these batteries! Got my power setup for years to come.
3/10: Latest Update
External battery still needs me to press the main button on/off for charging to happen almost every day (running on batteries all night, then smart switch turns power back on, the unit won't charge till I turn on/off the expansion battery via front button), which is a little frustrating but not a deal breaker since it's right next to me. I bought a set of 120mm silent fans to cool both units, they seem to keep the fans off for the most part while running on battery or UPS pass through power (internal fans always run when charging - but very low). Most of my usage is around 200w even during gaming nights. We'll see how it does in summer when my room gains 10-15F+.
Been using this battery as an UPS offloading my entire office power from 4pm-9am with smart plugs. Very happy with it. Works well. Comforting knowing if we have another day or two power outage, I'll be able to keep everything running during then.
3/3: Notes on Expansion Battery. Still Happy With Unit!
Been using this device with a smart plug to automatically cut power at 4pm to 8am and for the most part it's been working flawlessly. Every few days it'll get in a weird super slow charging mode where it says remaining charge 4 days and never enter UPS mode (I use this as an UPS).
Usually restarting the expansion battery works for it to "reset" and charge then enter UPS mode. Only a small inconvenience with the Expansion Battery (using it as an UPS).
App is amazing. Batteries are amazing. Device works perfectly as a home office backup system. I plan on using this setup for a long time until a new battery technology comes out. Will report back if I ever get to use this thing in a long outage (powering the fridge, TV, other rooms).
2/24: Expansion Battery Quirks
Noticed some interesting behavior with the Expansion battery. If I plug the C1000 and the expansion battery into an outlet that fails to provide the power that the Anker C1000 is asking for, the entire thing goes into a weird passthrough mode and will refuse to charge (no matter how many times I plug/unplug from power) -- until I turn off the expansion battery and then turn it back on (lucky to figure this out). Initially I thought I broke it, but just turning off expansion battery (press holding expansion battery power button for a few seconds) and then back on returned charging to normal. I see how this has affected some other reviewers. Either removing the massive cable for a few seconds or pressing and holding the button on the front seems to fix this (until it happens again).
I'm very happy with this setup and have been using it to offload my office power from 4pm to 8/9am very successfully. I usually get the expansion battery down to 22% with this setup. If I want to exercise the main unit's battery, I'll just press and hold power for 3 seconds on the expansion battery (no removal needed) and use the main unit for a night. Very convenient! (Using this as an UPS for my office - see below).
2/22: Expansion Battery Arrives!
Absolutely loving this thing. I'm using it to offload my office usage during peak hours (4-9pm). I've had no quirks at all, no complaints. So happy with it, I got the expendable battery (today in the mail).
Cable for expendable battery is HUGE - almost doubles the width of the unit... It is not movable whatsoever, so consider that if you get it.
When initially plugged into the main unit the expendable battery would only charge at 300w despite being set to 1000w (default). After it warmed up from 55F (shipping?) it started charging at the full rate - so there's definitely some battery management going on. With this thing I should be able to run my entire office for more than 24 hours easily.
I bought a silent thin USB Desk fan (just for experimentation) - and this helps keep the unit 10-15F cooler and I never hear the fans, even if pulling close to 160w. We'll see how it does in the summer time.
I sent in a suggestion to Anker asking them to include an option to log wattage draws/pulls since I use this as an UPS primarily. Also suggested a way to cap the battery % at 80% for longevity. They agreed and said they'd send it to their developers. (Cool!).
Very happy with this unit. Glad I waited for LFP power generators.
2/12: Original Review on Main Unit Only
Initial review (2 days of usage):
This is my first battery power generator. I've been watching the market for a long time and didn't want to spend $1000. When we recently had a power outage (6+ hours), I noticed my 256whr Anker couldn't power our fridge due to the startup load. So, the SOLIX C1000 was the obvious choice for cost and power provided - was able to get it on sale for $650. Takes about a week to ship - UPS with almost no updates till it's at your front door.
I've played with this now for a few days... This thing is amazing. It powers everything and anything I throw at it. I can put my 1500w UPS on it and power my entire office without a problem ( the 256 wh Anker 521 instantly shuts off with same load despite ~100-49w constant draw ). I can control and see vital stats via my phone without having to bend over and check the screen. I have run my entire office off of this battery for hours and only used 10% of the battery capacity. I purchased some drop cords to be able to power the fridge/living room if we have another power outage. Will report back on experience when/if this is used.
The recharge rate is amazing, close to 800w and slows down to 600w as it gets closer to 100%. The UltraFast Charging is really nice but expect a lot of fan noise the moment this is turned on. Speaking of fan noise, I am currently using it as an UPS for my office - plugging my 1500w UPS into it and it powering 2 desks (monitors/devices/2 computers). The low fan only came on a few times while powering this setup for several hours (~87-90w constant draw (150w top)) - it's barely audible but considering my previous setup was 100% silent, this is going to probably be temporary as it is winter right now and I imagine the fan noise will be come more of an issue in the summer. I noticed the device was sitting around 83F during very light usage and 95+F during battery draw in a cold winter room <70F. Putting a desk fan on the device's vents instantly drops the internal temperature 10+F so it looks like it wants to sit around 80F in UPS mode. So I wouldn't put this in a closet or in a place that has closed ventilation.
Build Quality? It's plastic. But heavy duty plastic. But for $650 I wasn't expecting a metal chassis I guess. Low fan noise is barely audible and doesn't sound bad. The included cables are VERY short and very bulky. The unit does not creak when carrying it around and it feels like it could survive a good drop.
Note: When I first got the unit, no amount of pressing and holding the power button turned the device on. Was initially worried but once plugging it into the wall, everything started operating like normal.
Seriously considering the attachment battery as it would effectively double my ability to power the house in an outage (right now estimated at around 11-15 hours without conserving).
The Anker app is great - I just wish it had more features and ability to record power usage instead of having a few second stats view. But I can't complain, it does what it does well - have had no problems with it.
Will report back as I continue to use this device daily.

本製品単体では何の役にも立ちません。充電すらできないので、購入の際は十分ご注意ください。
□この製品が向いている人
・時々、Anker Solix C1000のバッテリー容量を追加したい場面がある。
・動作中のHDDレコーダやNW機器など、気軽に電源を切れない機器への供給時間を伸ばしたい。
→ C1000を2台買うと容量は同等ですが、拡張バッテリよりもランタイムが短くなる可能性も。
※ もう一台用意したC1000からAC充電すると、AC/DC変換などでロスがあるのでご注意を。
1階/2階に分散設置したい、電子レンジ2台同時利用などであれば、C1000 2台作戦はアリです。
・ポタ電からの出力(AC出力など)は、本体側のスペックがあればよい。
・持ち運び時に、20kg超を一度に抱えるのはキツイ。
2000Whクラスの容量を、10kgぐらいに2分割して セパレートで持ち運びたい。
・拡張バッテリーと本体を接続する「邪魔なゴツイケーブル」があっても構わない。
・本体と拡張バッテリーは、同時並行で充電/放電 できなくてもよい。
自動で切り替わってくれればOK。
・本体のディスプレイやアプリから、拡張バッテリーの状態も確認したい。
□良かったこと
・拡張バッテリーを、本体の上にポン置き出来る。
:拡張バッテリーの足が、うまい具合にハマるようになっていました。
→ 設置面積(フットプリント)は、ポタ電本体の取っ手を除いたサイズと同等でした。
縦方向は本体よりもコンパクトなのですが、ケーブルが邪魔になるのが 残念な点です。
→ ポタ電の上にポン置きすれば、握り棒型の取っ手ではないので 天面はほぼフラットになります。
天面はプラ製で滑りやすいので、物を置きたい場合は滑り止めシートを用意した方がいいです。
・設置に必要な底面積が、2000Wh級のポタ電にしては コンパクトに収まる。
:2階建て状態になるので、場所を取りません。
とはいえ、接続ケーブルが正面から見て右側に出るので、その分のスペースが必要となります。
→ 重ねて設置すると、U字型になるケーブルが「本体側の持ち手先端から約17.5cm分」飛び出します。
・拡張側の電源長押しで、特に支障なく本体から拡張バッテリーを切り離せる。
:拡張バッテリー側の電源長押しで、自動で本体側のバッテリーが引き継いで給電するようになるので
拡張側が空になる前に(完全放電はバッテリーへの負担が大きい)切り離すことも可能でした。
この間、AC給電が落ちるなどの問題が発生することはありませんでした。
:拡張側の電源を入れれば、本体側が自動認識して再接続してくれます。
・バッテリーを充電する際の残り充電時間は、拡張側も合わせた予測時間となる。
:アプリもしくは本体ディスプレイに、予測時間が表示されます。
それぞれのバッテリー残量や温度(アプリのみ)も表示されます。
□気になったこと
・日々の使用量が少ない場合は、拡張バッテリー側だけ充放電され劣化が進んでいく。
:拡張バッテリーの容量だけで十分な場合、本体側のバッテリーは使われないままになります。
本体と拡張でバッテリー劣化を平準化するには、時々拡張バッテリーを切離して本体側を使うなどの
工夫が必要と感じました。
・バッテリー接続ケーブルが太く固い。重ねて設置した場合に、ケーブル全体をヒネる必要があった。
:ケーブルの端子は、差し込む際の向きがある一点に限定されています。
当方では重ねて設置する際に、ケーブルをU字型に曲げたところ 微妙にコネクタの向きが合わず
結構な力を入れて、若干ケーブルをヒネる必要がありました。
・バッテリーの充放電の順番は決められている。
:本体側と拡張側のバッテリーの充放電には、ルールがありました。
→充電する場合:基本的に本体側の充電が完了した後で、拡張側が充電される。(充電は本体が先)
→給電する場合:基本的に、拡張側から先に使われる。(使用は拡張側が先)
拡張側がバッテリー残量1%になると、本体側へ切り替わる。
※「基本的に」と表現したのは、本体側残量99% / 拡張側残量81%の時に
モバイルソーラーパネルから充電したところ、拡張側から充電されたことが1度あったためです。
・バッテリーの充電完了時間が変動する。本体側の充電完了付近では予測時間がブレる。
:アプリや本体のディスプレイに、充電完了までの残り時間(予測値)が表示されますが、
拡張バッテリーを接続した際は、予測値があてにならないタイミングがありました。
→ 終了時間は、その時の入力電力値から計算されますが、本体側のバッテリーが100%に近づくほど
入力電力は低下するので、拡張バッテリーの残量が少ない場合は一時的に予測時間が急増します。
※本体側が充電完了して拡張側の充電に切り替われば、ブレは戻ります。
・付属の取扱説明書(ユーザーガイド)冊子がポンコツ
:注意事項(子供の手の届く範囲に置くな 等)しか、記載されていません。
接続方法や起動方法など、一切書かれていないので
事前にAnkerのWebサイトから、取扱説明書をダウンロードした方がいいです。
・連携動作が不安定になるときもあった。
:本体側は現時点での最新ファームウェア(v1.3.2)を適用していますが
拡張バッテリーを接続した際のみ、動作に若干不安定な挙動を示すことがあります。
→拡張バッテリー接続中に、拡張側の電源ボタンを何度長押ししても
「拡張バッテリーが切断されなくなる現象」が発生しました。
※ この問題の解決には、ポタ電本体のリセットボタン長押しが必要でした。
→本体100%/拡張92%の時にソーラー充電を開始したところ、本体表示パネルが異常表示となり
充電を開始できなくなる現象が発生しました。
※ この問題の解決には、本体側の電源ボタンを使って電源OFF→ON操作が必要でした。
□操作方法 (取説を読みつつ、当方での試行錯誤の結果です。 自己責任でお願いします。)
・接続と起動方法
① ケーブルは、Ankerロゴが上部中央になるように合わせて、しっかりと奥まで挿入。
② ポタ電本体の電源がONの場合、ケーブルで接続したときに 拡張側の電源が自動で入る。
ポタ電側の電源がOFFなら、拡張側の電源ボタンを長押しすれば本体も同時に起動する。
(拡張側の起動は、電源ボタンの周囲にあるLEDの点灯で確認できます)
③ 本体側のディスプレイに、拡張バッテリーの残量が表示されれば、連携はOK。
・ポタ電本体と拡張バッテリーの、接続(連携)と切断(切離し)
① 拡張側の電源ボタンを長押しすると接続と切断が切り替わる。
(長押しするとピッと音が鳴り、接続状態が切り替わります)
② 本体側のディスプレイに、拡張バッテリーが表示されているか? を確認。
表示されていれば接続中、表示が無ければ切断中。
③ 切断中なら、ケーブルを抜いても大丈夫な模様。
・ケーブルを抜いて拡張バッテリー側の電源だけ切りたい。本体側は電源ONのままにしたい。
① 本体のディスプレイで切断されていることを確認。接続中なら、拡張側の電源ボタン長押しで切断。
② ケーブルを外す際は、ノブを反時計回りに少し回して引き抜く。
③ ケーブルを切り離した状態で、拡張バッテリーの電源ボタンを長押しすると電源OFF。
・ポタ電本体と拡張バッテリーの電源ON / OFF
① ポタ電本体側の電源長押しで、同時にON/OFFできます。
→ ケーブルが接続されていれば、本体と拡張側の電源操作は連動します。
ご参考になれば幸いです
