"The Anker Solix C1000 portable power station bundled with a 200W solar panel tackles this exact problem and Amazon just slashed it to an all-time low of $671, down from $1,299). This combo gives you 1,056 watt-hours of backup capacity with the ability to recharge from the sun, which means you can keep your furnace controls, internet router, medical devices or space heaters running during an outage."
"The 1,800-watt continuous power through SurgePad technology (which peaks to 2,400 watts) covers almost all appliances you would have to power through the duration of a blackout. That surge ability accommodates power startup demands of refrigerators or battery-powered heaters which frequently have 2-3 times their operating wattage for 1-2 seconds the moment they are switched on. The 1,056 watt-hour LiFePO4 battery has a rating of well over 3,000 charge cycles before the battery falls to 80% capacity."
"UltraFast mode charges the station to 80% capacity in 43 minutes and full power in 58 minutes on the connection of AC power and by the activation of the Anker app. That gives you the ability to recharge fast whenever there are fleeting interludes of power availability and the next blackout approaches. Normal power stations take 6-8 hours to be fully charged, and this does not help much where the grid power remains unstable."
Winter storms and grid overloads can cause prolonged power outages that require reliable backup for essential devices. The Anker Solix C1000 with an included 200W solar panel provides 1,056 watt-hours of battery capacity and 1,800 watts of continuous output (peaking at 2,400 watts) to run furnaces, routers, medical devices, refrigerators and space heaters. The LiFePO4 battery tolerates over 3,000 charge cycles before dropping to 80% capacity, enabling roughly a decade of weekly use. UltraFast charging restores the station to 80% in 43 minutes and full charge in 58 minutes, allowing rapid recharge during brief grid availability.
