Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 Portable Power Station | 2048Wh | 2400W | 800W Solar Input

The Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 Runs Appliances on 2,400W of AC Power From a 2,048Wh Battery You Can Expand to 4kWh

The Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 is a portable power station with a 2,048Wh LFP battery, 2,400W of continuous AC output and a 4,000W peak. It takes up to 1,800W from a wall outlet and up to 800W of solar, and you can add a BP2000 Expansion Battery (Gen 2) for up to 4kWh of capacity. It measures 18.1 x 9.8 x 10.1 in (459 x 250 x 257 mm) and weighs 41.7 lb (18.9 kg).

Anker builds it for home backup, camping and RV life, and DIY projects. Ten ports, including a TT-30 port, and four working modes let one unit handle outages at home and power on the road. Buy it on its own, or choose an option that adds a solar panel, the expansion battery, Anker's 800W alternator charger or a combination.

Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 Features

2,400W Continuous With a 4,000W Peak

The NEMA 5-20R AC outlets deliver 120V at up to 20A and 2,400W, and Anker lists a 4,000W peak for startup surges. Check each appliance's running and startup watts against those limits before you plug it in.

Fast Recharging From AC and Solar

The AC input draws up to 1,800W, and the XT-60i input accepts solar from 11V to 60V at up to 17A, with an 800W maximum. Using AC and solar power, Anker quotes 80% in 45 minutes and 100% in 58 minutes. Real-world solar output depends on sun, panel angle, heat and shade.

A 9W Idle Draw for Longer Runtimes

Anker lists only 9W of idle power consumption and says the C2000 Gen 2 can keep a dual-door fridge running for up to 32 hours. Runtimes are Anker's estimates and vary with the appliance, temperature and conditions.

Room to Grow to 4kWh

Connect a BP2000 Expansion Battery (Gen 2) to the expansion battery port and capacity rises to up to 4kWh. Anker says that combination can keep a dual-door fridge running for up to 64 hours. The expansion battery is also 2,048Wh with LFP cells and weighs 15.3 kg.

800W Alternator Charging on the Road

Pair it with the Anker SOLIX Alternator Charger, and Anker says you can charge up to 8 times faster than a standard car socket and reach 100% in 3 hours. Anker lists 800W as the alternator charger's maximum input. Actual charging depends on your vehicle and driving time.

Ports for the Whole Setup

Alongside the AC outlets and TT-30 port, you get a 12V car socket at up to 10A, a USB-A port at 12W and three USB-C ports. Two USB-C ports deliver up to 140W each, and the third delivers 15W. When the 15W USB-C port and the USB-A port are used together, their total output is limited to 20W.

Four Working Modes and a 10 ms UPS

In the Anker app you can choose Standard, Time-of-Use (TOU), Storm Guard or Fast Charging Plan. TOU charges and discharges based on electricity prices, so the battery can charge when power costs less and run your devices when it costs more. Storm Guard and Fast Charging Plan store backup power for outages and storms. Anker also lists a 10 ms UPS switchover and a 30 dB noise level below 1,000W.

Real-World Applications

Home backup during outages. Use Storm Guard to keep backup power stored ahead of storms, and let the 10 ms UPS take over for a router or computer when the grid drops. Anker's 32-hour fridge estimate gives you a starting point for planning.

RV and car camping. Anker builds it for camping and RV life, and the alternator charger option lets the battery charge while you drive between campsites.

Tent camping. Pair it with a solar panel option to recharge at camp, and run lights, a fridge and phone chargers from one unit.

DIY projects. Run tools within the 2,400W limit and check their startup watts against the 4,000W peak.

Practical Comparison

C2000 Gen 2 Versus a Gas Generator

A gas generator runs on fuel you have to buy, store and refill. The C2000 Gen 2 stores its energy in a battery, recharges from the wall, solar or your vehicle's alternator, and Anker lists a 30 dB noise level below 1,000W.

C2000 Gen 2 Versus the Anker SOLIX F2000

Anker's own chart puts the C2000 Gen 2 at 41.7 lb against 67.2 lb for the F2000, recharging to 80% in 45 minutes against 1.4 hours, and rated for 4,000 cycles to 80% capacity against 3,000 cycles. The C2000 Gen 2 also measures 18.1 x 9.8 x 10.1 in, where the F2000 is 20.7 x 9.8 x 15.5 in.

Buyer Guidance

Choosing an Option

The solar options add one Anker 200W or 400W bifacial panel, or our own kit with two Rich Solar MEGA 200 Watt portable solar panel briefcases. The expansion battery option suits long outages, and the alternator charger option suits people who drive often. Combination options include both add-ons.

Installing the Alternator Charger

The alternator charger wires into your vehicle's electrical system. Have a qualified installer fit it, following Anker's instructions.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You want 2,048Wh now with room to grow to 4kWh
• You need 2,400W for kitchen appliances or tools
• You want to charge from your vehicle while driving
• You want a TT-30 port alongside standard outlets

Common Questions

Can I Expand the Capacity?

Yes. The C2000 Gen 2 pairs with the BP2000 Expansion Battery (Gen 2) for up to 4kWh in total.

Can the USB-C Ports Charge the Power Station?

No. The USB-C ports are output only. Recharge through the AC input, the XT-60i solar input or the alternator charger.

Can I Charge From the Grid and Solar at the Same Time?

Yes. It charges from both together, using solar first and filling the rest from AC.

What Warranty Does It Have?

The C2000 Gen 2 is covered by Anker's limited warranty. The Outbound Power team can confirm the current terms.
