Buy the Anker SOLIX C1000 unless you truly need a 2,048Wh battery in one box. Anker rates it at 1,056Wh and 1,800W continuous, it weighs 28.44 lb, and it recharges to 80% in 43 minutes, which covers camping, RV weekends and short outages. The F2000 brings 2,048Wh, 2,400W and a TT-30R RV outlet, but Anker's US store now redirects its F2000 product page to the newer C2000 Gen 2.
This comparison draws only on Anker's own product pages, spec tables and C1000 user guide, read in October 2026, rather than first-hand use.
- Anker SOLIX C1000: 1,056Wh of LiFePO4, six AC outlets, 1,800W continuous with a 2,400W surge rating, 600W of solar input and a 5-year warranty, at 28.44 lb.
- Anker SOLIX F2000 (PowerHouse 767): 2,048Wh of LiFePO4, four AC outlets plus a TT-30R, 2,400W continuous, 1000W of solar input, wheels and a 5-year warranty, at 67.2 lb.

What changed with the F2000 in 2026
The F2000 is still documented on Anker's US site. Its spec page lists model A1780 with 12 outlets, a 2,048Wh battery and 1000W of solar input (checked October 2026). Buying one from Anker is another matter: the F2000 product page and the spec page's purchase button both land on the Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2, a 2,048Wh, 2,400W model whose page carries a "C2000 Gen 2 vs. F2000" table.
That table is the clearest statement of what Anker changed. It lists the F2000 at 2,400W with a 3,600W peak, 1.4 hours to 80%, 3,000 cycles to 80% capacity, 67.2 lb and a 40 dB noise level. The C2000 Gen 2 column shows the same 2,400W with a 4,000W peak, 45 minutes to 80%, 4,000 cycles, 41.7 lb and 30 dB below 1,000W of load.
This page has no F2000 buy link for that reason: Anker no longer sells it through its US store, and the F2000 listing we would link to was showing as unavailable when we checked in October 2026. If you come across one new or refurbished, everything below still applies.

Which one fits how you will use it
Camping, car trips and tailgates: the C1000
Size decides this one. By Anker's figures the C1000 is the lighter, smaller box, at 28.44 lb and 14.8 × 8.07 × 10.5 inches, and it refills fast: 80% from the wall in 43 minutes and a full charge in under an hour. Off-grid, its 600W solar input can fully recharge it in 1.8 hours in Anker's estimate. Six AC outlets and two USB-C ports leave room for lights, fans and laptops at camp. Our guide to power stations for car camping covers the smaller end of the class.
RVs: the F2000's TT-30R outlet, if you can find one
The F2000 was built for this job. It has a TT-30R outlet for an RV's shore-power cord, 2,400W of continuous output, and Anker pitches it for everything "from off-grid life essentials such as microwaves and refrigerators to pro tools like power drills." Its 4.72-inch wheels and EasyTow retractable handle matter at 67.2 lb. If you are shopping new, note that Anker's own table gives the C2000 Gen 2 a TT-30 port too, at 41.7 lb. Our RV power station setup guide explains how to size a station for a rig.
Home backup: capacity and pass-through
For outages, capacity is the gap that matters most: 2,048Wh against 1,056Wh. The C1000 can close that gap, since Anker's user guide says an expansion battery takes it to 2112Wh, while the F2000 reaches 4096Wh with its own expansion battery.
Both switch to battery in about the same time if the grid drops: Anker lists under 20ms for the C1000 and 20ms for the F2000. Both also cap pass-through power at 1440W in bypass mode, so while either one is charging from the wall, a load above 1440W is over the limit even though it is under the inverter rating. Our pass-through charging explainer covers how that mode works.
High-wattage appliances
The F2000's 2,400W continuous rating gives it more room for big loads. The C1000 is rated at 1,800W, and Anker adds a mode called SurgePad: its user guide says the station "can power high-wattage devices up to 2400W without overload," and that SurgePad "works better with devices that generate heat, but does not support precision instruments and other devices that have voltage protection or strict voltage requirements." Treat SurgePad as Anker describes it, not as a second continuous rating.
Charging and solar compared
The C1000 is the quicker station to refill. Anker's UltraFast mode gives it "a maximum 1300W recharge via the AC charging cable," and Anker's product page quotes 80% in 43 minutes. The F2000 accepts up to 1440W from the wall, and Anker's comparison table puts it at 1.4 hours to 80%.
Solar flips the order. The F2000 takes up to 1000W through its XT60 solar input, against 600W for the C1000, which suits a larger panel array. On alternator charging, the F2000 column of Anker's comparison table reads "Not Supported," where the C2000 Gen 2 lists 800W.
Price and where to buy (checked October 2026)
Anker's own store lists the C1000 at $599.99 on its 1000W power station page, but retail prices move often.
Ready to order the C1000? Check the current price on Amazon, since Amazon's price can sit above or below Anker's.
The F2000 has no US price on Anker's store, which is why it carries no buy link here. For other picks across both sizes, see our full shortlist.
The verdict
Buy the C1000 if you:
- carry your power station to campsites, tailgates or a car trunk;
- want the fastest wall recharge of the two;
- can live with 1,800W continuous and a 1,056Wh battery, or plan to add Anker's expansion battery later.
Look at a 2,048Wh station instead if you:
- power an RV through its TT-30 shore-power plug;
- need 2,400W continuous for larger appliances;
- want the bigger battery for outages without adding an expansion pack.
For that second group, the F2000 still makes sense if you find a well-priced one, but Anker's own table makes the case for the model it now redirects F2000 shoppers to: the C2000 Gen 2 is 41.7 lb, reaches 80% in 45 minutes and lists 4,000 cycles. Our roundup of 2kWh-class power stations covers the wider field, and the 1,000Wh-class roundup covers the C1000's rivals.
FAQ
Is the Anker SOLIX F2000 discontinued?
Anker's US store no longer offers it: its F2000 product page redirects to the C2000 Gen 2 (checked October 2026). The F2000 spec page is still online, so owners can still look up its ports and limits there.
Can a C1000 with an expansion battery replace an F2000?
On capacity, yes: Anker's user guide puts a C1000 with its expansion battery at 2112Wh, against 2,048Wh for a bare F2000. It does not change the C1000's 1,800W continuous output, and it does not add a TT-30R outlet or wheels.
Which one handles a microwave or another high-wattage appliance better?
Compare the appliance's rated wattage with each station's continuous output: 1,800W for the C1000 and 2,400W for the F2000. The C1000's SurgePad mode reaches 2400W for some devices, but Anker steers it toward heat-producing loads rather than electronics with strict voltage needs.
Is the C1000 Gen 2 a better buy than the original C1000?
Anker's C1000 page also offers a C1000 Gen 2 option, billed as "Recharging in 49M." This comparison covers the original C1000, which is the model our buy link points to, so read the Gen 2's own spec sheet before choosing between them.
Which one is quieter?
Anker's comparison table lists the F2000 at 40 dB. Anker does not print a noise figure on the C1000's product page, so there is no like-for-like number to compare.
Can either one keep a home office running through a blackout?
Yes, within limits. Anker lists UPS switchover under 20ms for the C1000 and 20ms for the F2000, and both pass through at most 1440W while plugged in, so keep the connected desk load under that.
