Description

Power Station C1000X features a sleek and rugged design, making it both aesthetically pleasing and durable. The power station includes multiple output ports, allowing you to charge multiple devices simultaneously. The 1000W pure sine wave AC output ensures safe and efficient power for sensitive electronics. The device also supports various recharge methods, including solar panels, wall adapters, and car chargers, providing flexibility in different scenarios.

Recharging Your Power Station

AC recharging (1000W Max)
Recharge your power station by connecting to a wall outlet with the AC charging cable.

UltraFast Recharging (1300W Max)
The Ultra Fast feature gives your power station a maximum 1300W recharge via the AC charging cable. You can enable or disable this feature in the Anker app.
Recharging at a normal speed can best protect the battery. We recommend using Ultra Fast recharging when necessary.
Solar Panel Recharging (600W Max)
Recharge your power station with a maximum solar input of 600W by connecting up to two solar panels, as shown in the figure, with a solar charging cable.

Car Recharging
Recharge your power station by connecting to a car’s output port with the car charging cable.

When your portable power station only has 1% battery remaining, the “Remaining Battery” indicator will flicker to remind you to recharge.

Powering On / Off

Press the main power button for 3 seconds to turn your power station on or off.
When the “Remaining Battery” indicator shows on the LCD screen, your power station is ready to charge devices.

• When powered on, press the main power button to turn the screen on or off.
• The screen will automatically turn off after 30 seconds of lighting up. The auto-off time can be set in the Anker app.
• With the output buttons turned off and no other loads for 12 hours, the power station will power off automatically. The standby duration can be set in the Anker app.

Powering Your Devices

AC Charging
Press the AC outlet button and connect your device with the AC output ports.
The AC outlets can intelligently identify whether a plug is inserted. This helps prevent power waste by automatically turning off the power station if no plug is detected for more than 15 minutes.

USB Charging
Connect your devices to the USB ports.

Car Socket Charging
Turn on the car socket and connect your devices to start charging.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

To use the UPS feature, connect your power station to a wall outlet with the AC charging cable, then press the AC outlet button and connect your devices via the AC output ports.

Surge Pad

Using the Surge Pad feature, the power station can power high-wattage devices up to 2400W without overload.

•  Surge Pad automatically turns on when the total output exceeds the rated output, allowing the power station to deliver rated power to high-wattage devices.
• Surge Pad does not function in bypass mode (when the power station is being charged with the AC output on).
• Surge Pad works better with devices that generate heat, but does not support precision instruments and other devices that have voltage protection or strict voltage requirements. To see if Surge Pad™ works with your high-wattage device, try powering it with the last AC outlet.

Connecting with an Expansion Battery
Your power station can be connected with an expansion battery to double the capacity to 2112Wh. Please refer to the user manual of Anker SOLIX BP1000 Expansion Battery (1056Wh) for detailed instructions.

Anker App for Smart Control

You can remotely control your power station using the Anker app.

1. Download the Anker app from the App Store (iOS devices) or Google Play (Android devices), or by scanning the QR code.
