Spec Check: Anker SOLIX C1000
Anker's published C1000 specs (1,056Wh, 1,800W, 58-minute recharge) and what they mean in usable watt-hours.
Published · Updated
Anker lists the SOLIX C1000 at 1,056Wh LiFePO4, 1,800W continuous (2,400W surge), a 58-minute full recharge at up to 1,300W, 600W solar input and expansion to 2,112Wh. We estimate about 777 Wh usable through AC.
- 1,056Wh LiFePO4, 3,000 cycles to 80%+.
- 1,800W AC; expandable to 2,112Wh.
- Estimated ≈777 Wh usable via AC.

Usable capacity: our estimate
Estimated usable AC energy: 1,056 Wh × 0.80 × 0.92 ≈ 777 Wh. That's our estimate (80% usable depth from Victron's LiFePO4 data, 92% inverter efficiency from NREL's PVWatts manual; an estimate for this unit), not a measurement. Real results vary with load size, temperature and the unit's own idle draw. DC and USB loads skip the inverter loss.
| Example load | Est. runtime |
|---|---|
| 15 W | ≈51.8 h |
| 60 W | ≈12.9 h |
| 150 W | ≈5.2 h |
| 250 W | ≈3.1 h |

What the specs mean
1,800W covers most kitchen appliances and a fridge. The 600W solar input is the highest in our reference set. Expansion to 2,112Wh makes a full day of fridge backup possible. At 28.4 lb it's mid-weight.
Who it suits
Outage planners who may want to add capacity later, and campers who want fast solar recharging.
