Anker Solix C1000 Portable Power Station Just Took a Nearly 50% Nosedive, Flying Off Amazon's Shelves

A safe, reliable source of backup electricity is a luxury when you're camping or having an outdoor party but it's a necessity when the power goes out. A gas-powered generator is one solution, but they're expensive, loud, and usually only have a few outlets. As portable power goes, we love Anker's SOLIX line of portable power stations, especially when one takes a sudden $300-plus price plunge at Amazon, like the SOLIX C1000 that's just $469 right now. The SOLIX C1000 is an 1800W beast with surge strength up to 2400W that sends out power over 11 ports including AC, USB-C, and USB-A for your music and lights during parties, coolers and coffeemakers when you're camping or RVing, and laptops, smartphones, and other essential items during blackouts. It recharges inside of an hour when connected to an AC outlet, and it can also be recharged via a solar panel (sold separately) that could keep the juice flowing endlessly. See at Amazon Even when it's marked down from the usual $799 price to just $469, the SOLIX C1000 is an investment for both safety and recreation, so you're going to want assurances that it's durable. Thankfully the LiFePO4 battery inside the SOLIX C1000 is good for 3,000 cycles over a 10-year lifespan, easily earning a place in your home or RV. And because it's designed with life on the go in mind, the construction is exceptionally durable, with two handles built into its body. It's just under 28 pounds and 11 by 14 by 8 inches in size, so it can go on the road without hogging precious cargo space. If you need to recharge the SOLIX C1000 on the go, there's a car-charging cable included that can do the trick. With 11 outlet ports and all 1800 watts of power available, the range of items you can keep charged is basically endless. Six AC outlets line the front of the SOLIX C1000, along with two USB-C and two USB-A ports and a car socket. The LED display in the front tells you the status of the SOLIX C1000 and the items it's charging, and you can also check the power status, customize the AC charging speed, and more via the SOLIX app on your smartphone. Be prepared for fun, recreation, or emergencies with one powerful and reliable backup power source — the Anker SOLIX C1000 1800W Portable Power Station is just $469 right now at Amazon, but the deal is time-limited, so don't wait.
