Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2
Replaces the original C1000 with a genuinely class-leading recharge time (49 minutes to full, a certified world record) and a bump to 2,000W output. Anker dropped expansion-battery support for this generation, so buy the capacity you need up front.

A sensible small-capacity pick if you just need to keep devices charged — two AC outlets is one more than most rivals this size. Note there's also a cheaper DC-only 'C300 DC' variant with no AC inverter; make sure you're buying this AC model.
