Need a power plant? These two Anchors are almost half

These deals are available from Amazon. Both are shipped and sold by Anker.

There are a lot of powerhouses out there, but Anker still stands among the top manufacturers in the space. This is especially nice if you want ample power and manageable portability.

The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 will be a powerful companion whether you want to use it at home or take it on your adventures. It measures 15.12 × 8.19 × 9.61 inches and weighs 24.9 lbs. I can easily carry it a few blocks before I feel any strain.

The design is nice and modern and very well built. Needless to say, you get plenty of power here. This unit has a maximum output of 2000W with support for 3000W peaks. To put this into perspective, something like a kettle or microwave oven typically uses around 800-1200W. This means it can run these high-powered electronics with some room to spare!

The 1024Wh battery capacity is capable of charging your average phone approximately 67 times. Of course, you don’t buy it just to charge your mobile devices. It can also last for about 14 hours in the fridge. Something like a kettle or microwave will kill it in about an hour.

I’m also a big fan of the port option because it gives you multiple AC outlets (five of them). Additionally, you’ll have access to multiple 140W USB-C ports, another USB-C connection with 15W output, and a single 12W USB-A port. Oh, and there’s a car socket!

It is enough for my camping trips or a small backyard party. And it doesn’t require me to be a bodybuilder to carry it!

Now, if you really need more power, there’s also the Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2. It gets twice the battery capacity at 2,048 Wh. Additionally, the output is increased to 2,400 W (with 4,000 W peak support).

It also has a very nice trick. Apart from three USB-C ports, a USB-A connection, a car socket and five AC outlets, there is also a TT-30 connection. It can power RVs, electric cars, and more.

All that being said, it’s definitely bigger and heavier. It measures 18.1 × 9.8 × 10.1 inches and weighs 41.7 pounds.

If you’re looking to get a portable power station, these deals are a great chance to get in on the action without spending a small fortune. Oh, and we have a list too the best power plants if you want to consider other options.
