Anker SOLIX C2000X Gen 2 Portable Power Station, 2048Wh

SKU: A1785111

The Anker SOLIX C2000X Gen 2 is a 2,048Wh portable power station with LFP cells, 2,400W of rated power and a 4,000W peak. It shares the Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 platform and capacity in a black and gray finish. With AC and solar connected together, it takes in up to 2,600W, and Anker says it reaches 100% in 58 minutes. It measures 18.1 x 9.8 x 10.1 in and weighs 41.7 lb.

Choose it on its own or with the BP2000 Expansion Battery (Gen 2), which takes total capacity to 4kWh. It suits homeowners preparing for outages, RV and car campers, and anyone who runs tools or appliances away from an outlet.

Anker SOLIX C2000X Gen 2 Features

2,400W Rated Power and a 4,000W Peak

Anker rates the C2000X Gen 2 at 2,400W with a 4,000W peak for startup surges. Anker rates the four AC outlets at 1,800W and the TT-30 port at 2,400W. Plan larger loads around those limits, and check each appliance's startup watts against the peak.

Six Ways to Recharge

Anker lists AC, solar, AC and solar together, its alternator charger, a car input and a gas generator. The AC input takes up to 1,800W, and the XT-60i input accepts 11V to 60V solar at up to 17A, with an 800W maximum. Combined, Anker quotes 80% in 45 minutes and 100% in 58 minutes. Real-world solar output depends on sun, panel angle, heat and shade.

Long Runtimes From a Low Idle Draw

Anker's OptiSave technology keeps idle power consumption under 10W, at 9W, which Anker says gives 230 hours of idle runtime. Anker's own estimates include a fridge for 32 hours, a 10W Wi-Fi router for 105 hours, a 60W laptop for 26.6 hours, a 100W television for 16.6 hours and a 300W sump pump for 5.7 hours. Anker bases these on internal testing, and actual runtimes vary with the device and conditions.

Expand to 4kWh

Connect the BP2000 Expansion Battery (Gen 2) to the expansion battery port and capacity grows to 4kWh, which Anker says doubles the fridge estimate to 64 hours. The battery holds 2,048Wh with LFP cells, weighs 15.3 kg and comes with a battery-to-host cable.

Charge While You Drive

Add the Anker SOLIX Alternator Charger, and Anker says the C2000X Gen 2 can charge at up to 800W and reach 100% in 3 hours, up to 8 times faster than a standard car socket. Actual charging depends on your vehicle and how long you drive.

USB-C Up to 140W

Two USB-C ports deliver up to 140W each for laptops and other USB-C devices, a third USB-C port delivers 15W, and the USB-A port delivers 12W. When the 15W USB-C port and the USB-A port are used together, their total is limited to 20W. The USB-C ports are output only.

Modes, UPS and Quiet Running

The Anker app offers Standard, Time-of-Use (TOU), Storm Guard and Fast Charging Plan modes. TOU charges and discharges based on electricity prices, so it can charge when power costs less and supply your devices when it costs more, while Storm Guard and Fast Charging Plan store backup power for outages and storms. Anker lists a 10 ms UPS switchover and 30 dB below 1,000W.

Real-World Applications

Home backup during outages. Keep a fridge, a Wi-Fi router and a laptop going, using Anker's runtime estimates to plan. Storm Guard stores backup power ahead of a storm, and the 10 ms UPS takes over when the grid drops.

Sump pump backup. Anker estimates 5.7 hours for a 300W sump pump. Check your pump's running and startup watts first.

RV and car camping. Use the TT-30 port for loads up to 2,400W, and add the alternator charger so the battery charges between campsites.

Workshop and DIY projects. Run tools within the rated limits, and recharge in under an hour with AC and solar connected together.
