    the Solix can do more. Plugging in an electric kettle, and now we're pulling 2,600 W sustained, even more than what the unit is advertised at.

Anyone Here Use The Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 As A

  • Home Backup & UPS+1 pts

    They have power passthrough once charged and use LiFePO4 batteries, so staying at 100% doesn't degrade them. They're built to have things plugged in 24/7 and take over when AC goes out.

  • Build, Reliability & Support+1 pts

    That's a long post where about 90% of it is wrong. Inverter overhead for the C2000? Are you serious? When AC is connected, the drain is 6.7 watts (rated at 9 watts). The inverter isn't doing anything when it's acting as a UPS. Your phone adapter plugged into the wall uses about the same amount. If the battery runs all the way down, it won't turn back on without manual intervention? What? They have a 5% buffer and come right back on and start charging when power is restored. You could drain the battery to 0% and leave it unplugged for 5 years, and it'll power right back up when plugged in. With the battery size of these units, I wouldn't worry about PC hard shutdowns. Unless your power is typically out for dozens of hours, your PC won't need to shut down, especially if it's idle. What "wear and tear" are you talking about? These are designed for home backup. They have power passthrough once charged and use LiFePO4 batteries, so staying at 100% doesn't degrade them. They're built to have things plugged in 24/7 and take over when AC goes out. Plus Anker has a multi-year warranty covering over 10,000 battery cycles. I use these for a 3D print cluster connected to Anker F3800 Plus units as a secondary backup and have had excellent experience with them. I'd highly recommend them for that use if they fit your budget.

  • Noise & Conditions+5 pts

    When fans spin up during fast charging, noise is present. But during everyday loads under 1,000 watts, the sound profile is a low whoo, easy to ignore.

  • App & Smart Control0 pts

    The app is handy for toggling AC on off, adjusting charge speed, and checking temps, but it's missing push alerts.

    You can get up to 1,800 watts of AC input, which can charge it up to zero to 100% about 88 minutes. So an hour 20 minutes or so, which is super nice.

  • Home Backup & UPS+1 pts

    Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 supports UPS. When you connect your power station to an AC outlet while powering your devices via the AC output ports on the power station, the AC power from the grid will directly supply your devices. In the event of a power outage, the power station can automatically switch to battery-powered supply within 10ms.

    To turn it on, we simply push and hold the power button for 3 seconds. It powers right up.

    some people don't have smartphones. They don't want to deal with smartphones. So, technically, could you just take this and use it without a smartphone? Yeah, technically you could, but you're not going to get all the functionality out of it.

    as far as it goes with build quality, Anker is really good with their build quality. I have no issues.
