At IFA 2025 in Berlin, Anker SOLIX presented the C1000 Gen 2 – the company’s most compact mobile power station with a capacity of 1 kWh. The device recently set a Guinness World Record: No other power station in this class can be fully charged so quickly. Weighing only around 11.3 kilograms and with a robust design, the C1000 Gen 2 is aimed at outdoor enthusiasts, households with emergency power requirements and users looking for a flexible energy solution.
- Guinness World Record: fully charged in just 49 minutes
- 2000 W continuous power, 3000 W peak power for heavy consumers
- More than 4,000 charging cycles thanks to long-life LFP battery chemistry
- Charge up to nine devices simultaneously, including high-speed USB-C
Charging speed at record level
The most important new feature of the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 is its charging speed. With the company’s proprietary HyperFlash technology, the power station can be fully charged in just 49 minutes from a conventional socket – provided the 1,600 W UltraFast charging mode is activated in the app. At the official Guinness certification on August 14, 2025, the model even achieved a best time of 43 minutes and 48 seconds.
This means that the C1000 Gen 2 not only outperforms the previous generation, but also all comparable products on the market. For users, this means that even spontaneous use when camping, as an emergency power supply or in everyday mobile working life can be realized quickly without having to plan for long charging times.
Versatile power supply for everyday use and emergencies
With a continuous output of 2000 W and a peak output of 3000 W, the C1000 Gen 2 is capable of powering everyday devices such as laptops and smartphones as well as larger consumers such as fridges or power tools. Thanks to the flexible connections – including four Schuko sockets, several USB ports (including two USB-C ports with up to 140 W) and a 12V connection – up to nine devices can be powered simultaneously.
The integrated LFP battery chemistry (LiFePO4) ensures a high level of safety and longevity. Even after more than 4,000 charging cycles, the battery retains around 80% of its original capacity. This positions the Powerstation as a reliable investment for long-term use, whether as a camping companion or as a backup in the event of power failures.
Compact design and smart control
Despite its high performance, the C1000 Gen 2 remains compact and portable. With a weight of 11.3 kilograms and a handy form factor, it is significantly lighter than many other models in this capacity class. This makes it attractive not only for outdoor adventures, but also for flexible use in the home.
The power station can be fully controlled via the Anker app: Users can monitor the charging process, install firmware updates and adjust settings – even remotely. In combination with solar energy, the C1000 Gen 2 can also serve as a sustainable supplement to your own energy supply by storing excess solar power.
Conclusion
With the C1000 Gen 2, Anker SOLIX has raised the bar for mobile power stations. The Guinness World Record underlines the technological leadership, while high output power, durability and flexible usage scenarios illustrate the practical added value. Whether for camping, as an emergency power solution or as a compact energy reserve in everyday life – the C1000 Gen 2 offers a combination of speed and reliability that is currently unique. The Powerstation will be available in Germany and Austria from the end of October 2025. Further information at ankersolix.com/en.
