Why it matters

For portable and home backup use, the C1000 Gen 2 brings a rare combo of 2 kW output and sub‑hour full recharge—useful for campers, content creators, and as a compact UPS. The F3000 targets heavier loads and longer outages with a 3 kWh base that can scale via expansion.

At a glance

• Faster charging: C1000 Gen 2 can refill from empty in roughly 50 minutes on AC.
• EU‑first design: C1000 Gen 2 adds EU sockets and region‑ready specs.
• Solar‑ready: Both models support MPPT solar charging (panel specs vary by region).

Where to buy: Check Anker Solix for regional pricing and stock, or browse retailers. For accessories and panels, confirm connector types and voltage ranges before purchase.

Note: Specifications and availability can vary by country. Always confirm local voltage, plug type, warranty terms, and solar input limits on the official product page for your region.

Discussion: Is sub‑hour 0–100% charging the feature that finally makes a compact power station your daily companion, or do you prefer a larger 3 kWh unit for peace of mind?
