AnkerSOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station with 100W Solar Panel, 1800W Solar Generator, LFP (LiFePO4) Battery, 4 AC Outlets, Up to 2400W for Home, Power Outages, and Outdoor Camping

Expensive BUT worth every penny. The 4 X 240VOLT Sockets are a MUST HAVE. I have tried it with all sorts (in the home) and so far no problems. Something that gives you piece of mind if you have a power cut.

Works exactly as the instructions report. Such a great back up for blackouts too.

Arrived on time and well packaged. Important for prospective buyers to understand the limitations of 1056Whr before purchase. It’s not going to power your 3KW kettle or bar radiators. I use it for backing up the electric supply to my gas central heating boiler in the event of a power cut. In that role it runs 12-18 hours between charges. I was so impressed that I bought another one to backup TV/HiFi/Router/WiFi and other domestic appliances as required. Also charges iPhones, iPads etc. much faster than most brick chargers. Remains in a good state of charge during long term storage. Highly recommended.

I am impressed with this: it ran both my (big) fridge-freezer and my (big) freezer for five hours, when it still had 52% battery charge left. This would be enough to get me through a seventies-style rolling power cut (if cuts were forecast I'd use it as a UPS, so that if the mains went off it would fail-over automagically to the powerbank, then back on to mains when power is restored.)The 100w solar panel would take two sunny days to recharge the unit, but it might be useful sometime.

Easy to use charged up in an hour

So far this item seems fantastic, can't wait to use it properly, I tested it out by charging my leisure battery in my camper van and having my small heater on. Great item. Easy to use and set up on my phone.

The media could not be loaded. This is the best investment especially if experience long blackouts. I’m in Zambia and we have 12 to 14 hour power outages this is the best backup power option. Takes about an hour to charge, easy to carry and can run multiple appliances on it. Wouldn’t recommend running the microwave for long hours but can definitely heat up left overs from your fridge! The lamp on it comes in quite handy and USB ports make it easy to charge devices.

Inverters like this one do not provide a power supply similar to that in your home and will struggle to operate devices with heating elements, pumps, motors, etc, that come anywhere near close to the max 1800w peak of this battery. Please think carefully before purchasing as you will not be able to return it, as I am now finding out!Edit: even if you are lucky to be offered a refund, try posting a battery!
