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 300 Plus

A simple, light entry point if you just need to keep small devices topped up. Single AC outlet and 300W output rule out anything power-hungry, but that's the trade-off for the low weight and price.
