It used to be that if you lived in an area that had a lot of power outages, you would need to own a gas generator to at least keep your refrigerator and freezer up and running, and if you were lucky enough, maybe keep a few amenities up and running as well. But as battery technology has improved, a new option has come along for some situations. Portable Power Stations have become capable enough to replace gas generators in some situations while being significantly cheaper than full whole-house battery backup options. They are also portable enough that they can be used not only with homes but with RVs, camping (well, maybe glamping), and at work sites as well when some power is needed. It’s become big enough that Anker created a full sub-brand with their SOLIX brand with a wide range of options and capacities which I’ve taken a look at a few of their smaller options. This month they introduced the new Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 and they sent it and one of their fold-up portable solar panels over to check out. We already have three UPSs in the house trying to keep disruptions to a minimum. I’m curious to see how adding in the larger C2000 into the mix might help us be even more prepared, especially as we get closer to winter. So let’s dive in and see what the C2000 Gen 2 has to offer and then put it to the test.
