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.

Jackery trades peak output (1,500W vs 1,800W) for lighter weight and the longest cycle life here. Ideal for camping; less so if you need to run high-wattage kit.
