Anker SOLIX C1000
The first-generation C1000, replaced by the C1000 Gen 2, which recharges faster and puts out 2,000W. This one keeps the expansion-battery port Anker dropped for Gen 2, which is its only reason to exist now, and Anker's UK store showed it sold out on 21 September 2026. Buy it only if you find stock and want to add capacity later.

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.
