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 Explorer 2000 v2

Enough capacity and output to run a kettle or small power tools, in a single fixed-capacity unit rather than a modular home-backup system. A good fit if you want big power without buying into an expansion-battery ecosystem.
