SOLIX BP1000 Expansion Battery (1056Wh), LiFePO4 Batteries with 10-Year Lifespan, 1056Wh Extra Battery SOLIX C1000

Great way to extend the capability of your C1000. If you’re a functional nerd like I am, note that when connected to your C1000, the add-on battery will discharge first. When recharging, the main C1000 unit will recharge first. With the two batteries connected, your C1000 will provide 2,112 watt hours of power. I’m very impressed with the entire setup. I have powered my Instant Pot pressure cooker at the same time as an induction burner, pulling nearly 1700 watts when both until we’re drawing power at the same time. The Anker never missed a beat. Cooking an entire family dinner with a pressure cooker and induction burner used about 50% of the expansion battery. Meaning if you were using it for cooking at camp or during a power outage, you can cook about 4 times, and for a small family or a couple this would result in a ton of food!Personally I have two Harbor Freight 100 watt solar panels connected together to recharge the unit and, here in sunny Nevada, I’ve literally never had to plug my Anker into the wall to recharge.My main point is a couple of affordable solar panels and some common sense about power usage and you could get by for weeks on an Anker C1000 with this expansion battery connected. I’ve found that making one cup of coffee with my K-cup machine uses about 3% of the expansion battery capacity. And, as your fridge only sips power occasionally (unless you open the door a LOT), it would keep your fridge running for a very long time. Practically indefinitely if you leave solar panels hooked up consistently in a sunny location.I also bought a 400 watt folding solar panel which charges it up even faster. It will take up to 600W input via solar.

The ability to double the capacity of my Anker power bank (CP1000) is fantastic. I love Anker products across the board and I am never disappointed with them. This battery hooked up with no issues and should really allow me to use my power bank as an emergency backup for several things in the house should the power go out. In the winter time this will help me keep the house warm and the food cold. And in the summer I use this for camping and to power things when I'm away from the grid. Doubling the capacity means even less worrying. And coupled with my solar panels I can keep things going hopefully for a lot longer. The battery is stylish and matches the power back. It fits right on top and both can be lifted together without too much issue (it might be heavy for some but I could handle it no problem). These are solidly built, and super high quality. The ten year life expectancy is also a huge plus. The Black Friday deal put this at under $400 and that was also a huge incentive to buy. I know Anker products are worth the price but a nearly half off deal made this a great value for the price. Highly recommend. Would be great for Van-Life folks, campers, survivalists and off the grid living.

Works as expected doubles the charging span of the see 1,000, but it's not designed to be a home backup except maybe during the power outage.This will be my backup for that or to go camping

The expansion battery makes my c1000 last twice as long. This is my second battery, so now I have over 3k worth of power. Hot swap is great also. No down time. Love Anker

great quality works great

With its massive cable that is attached to the main unit, it is as if you actually had a double- sized main battery- but you can still easily determine the charge percentage of each one.

Excellent calidad

Many reviews state the expansion drains first and then the main station drains and that’s exactly my problem with this setup. The 2 batteries should work in conjunction with each other. Solix at 100%, expansion at 90% and they should both drop around the same % rate 90%/80% and so on until they both need to be charged. They should work as one battery not separate entitiesOtherwise you’re either 1) draining the expansion to 0% (bad for the expansion battery) and then the Solix kicks in or 2) need to charge the expansion everyday and the Solix never drains at all which means you need to charge everyday and effectively never use the Solix at all or 3) forced to unplug the expansion around 20% and only use the Solix, which defeats the purpose of the expansion itself and you can’t charge the expansion without it being plugged into the SolixSo while yes it’s nice to have the extra power and battery storage, you’re almost certainly better off just having 2 Solix and no expansion since the Solix/expansion operates as 2 separate power sources instead of 1 combined battery as it was designed to work.You can’t return the expansion once you buy it!!

Fonctionne bien selon ce qui est annoncéJ ai plusieurs de leur produits et aucun problème

Easy to add on and fantastic build quality

Amazing! Expands my Anker solix c1000 battery. Two double the capacity! Quite and effective! Amazing! Would recommend to anyone!

parfait pour l extension pour anker Solix C1000

Works as designed I guess, it's doubled the usage of my Anker battery and works very well!Expensive but a good product links easily and gives a greater opportunity to use my own grown electricity supply!The downside is it'll take me a long time to break even😆
