Camping or Blackouts, This $620 Anker Solix Power Station Deal Has You Covered

Right now, the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station bundle with a 100W solar panel is down to $620, which is 53% off its $1,328 list price. That is a huge $708 discount, and for a portable solar generator with this much capacity, it is one of the better prices we have seen lately.

Built by Anker, this product packs a 1056Wh LiFePO4 battery and delivers 1,800-watts of continuous power, with surge output up to 2,400-watts. That is enough to run everyday essentials like laptops, lights, small appliances and even a portable fridge during outages or outdoor trips.

Charging speed is one of the best things about this portable power station. Plug it into AC power, and it hits 80% in about 43 minutes and a full charge in under an hour using the app’s UltraFast mode. If you want to go solar, the included 100-watt PS100X panel helps you recharge with sunlight, and the station supports up to 600 watts of solar input, which can fill it up in about 1.8 hours in ideal sun.

You also get 11 ports total, including six AC outlets, plus USB and DC ports. So you can charge your phone, laptop, lights and other gear all at once without juggling plugs.

CNET’s deal writer Sneha Iyer says, “Another plus is portability. Compared to similar units, Anker has shaved 14% off the size and 11% off the weight, making it easier to stash in a closet or move from room to room. This model also offers battery capacity expansion, unlike some compact power stations, allowing you to double your power when needed.”

Why this deal matters

At $620, you get the power station, the 100-watts solar panel, all the charging cables and a five-year warranty. Since this bundle usually costs $1,328, that 53% discount makes it a pretty great pickup if you want reliable backup power for outages, camping or road trips.
