1056Wh LiFePO4 battery, 1800W output (2400W peak via SurgePad), 11 ports, full charge in 58 minutes via AC UltraFast recharging (requires Anker app + smartphone to activate), up to 600W solar input, 15% smaller than comparable 1kWh units at 28.4 lbs. App control via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, <20ms UPS transfer, 3,000 cycle battery rated for 10 years. Gray version also $399.99. Bundle options include solar panels and expansion batteries.

One quick context note: the 9 reviews shown are for this specific Black colorway listing — the underlying C1000 platform has 1,767 reviews at 4.7/5, which gives a much stronger quality signal. The Black version is the same hardware, different color.

Real-world feedback from reviewers is largely positive — one ran it for 24+ hours with an electric cooler at 34°F and only hit 51% drain, and another runs it daily for a greenhouse via solar with an expansion battery. The UltraFast AC charge is confirmed fast at roughly 90 minutes in practice.

A few honest caveats from the reviews: despite the listed 28.4 lbs, one reviewer said it feels significantly heavier in practice. The included AC cable is only 4-5 feet long, which is surprisingly short for something this large. And one reviewer who tested it with a room air filtration system found the real-world runtime shorter than expected at modest loads — worth calibrating expectations for 120V appliances drawing sustained wattage.

Also worth knowing: the Gen 2 C1000 is currently $449.99 (44% off $799) in "deals on related products" — it offers 2000W/3000W peak and charges in 49 minutes. If budget allows, the Gen 2 at $50 more might be worth comparing directly.
