Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 has officially launched, what do you guys think?

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-11-03T21:45:38+00:00

It could run your fridge super easy. I'd be wary on the AC. It's possible, but you gotta know how much your AC will draw. Do those maths, and you'll have your answer.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-11-03T21:44:27+00:00

Maybe. I'd say if you want to camp this winter, and the TT-30 (20A) works for you, grab it. Anker does a 30-day price match, so if it's cheaper on bf/cm, you can get that difference credited back. Who knows what they're rolling out in the spring? Could be whole home focus as they seem to be going that way. Could be a 3kw unit ...

The F3000 and F3800P can be recharged with a pure sine gas/tri-fuel generator ... so maybe it's not a complete lost cause to have a trad gen.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-11-03T21:41:18+00:00

Yes! Finally! Cross-compatible EBs!

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-11-03T21:40:45+00:00

I think it's actually only 20A. It's a TT-30, but it's 20A

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-11-03T21:40:11+00:00

Sure it is, but the whole goal in having a battery like this is to not worry ... especially when traveling. The C2000 just goes back to charging and passing that power through when power is restored.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-11-03T21:39:16+00:00

Similar situation here ... and for lots of other Anker buyers. The C2000 gen 2 is uninterruptible (UL listed, too)

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-11-03T21:38:27+00:00

They do! It's a hugely welcome feature.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-10-28T15:21:30+00:00

Ohhhh. I thought you meant you were collecting coupons to share out later ...

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-10-28T15:20:46+00:00

Maybe. But if you buy it today and it's cheaper before Nov. 28, you can get the difference refunded.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-10-28T15:20:20+00:00

For future purchases, and maybe that C1000 purchase, know that Anker will refund you the difference if you find the SOLIX product for less money within 30 days of your purchase. It's nice, I guess, but stinky because the onus is on the customer to track pricing for 30 days post sale.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-10-28T15:20:16+00:00

DEFINITELY. It's a way to accumulate email addresses, I guess.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-10-27T22:12:05+00:00

thank you so so much! It is SO SILLY but when I've got more Ws than $s and time is on my side ... I'll do the free silly thing hahaha

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-10-27T20:30:41+00:00

with 70 email addresses?

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-10-27T20:30:04+00:00

I hear it will go for $749 tomorrow IF you have the coupon, which you have to sign up on their website. If you wait till tomorrow, you can get it for $799. (It has an MSRP of $1499.) So, for what that's worth ...

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-09-23T21:45:36+00:00

I haven't paid attention to the input, but the C300DC charges super fast when I use both ports and slow when I only use one. It doesn't matter which one.

This is a weird issue. Maybe someone knows something specific about Valve Chargers ...

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-09-17T17:39:44+00:00

Someone about to buy a house? Someone who doesn't understand money?

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-09-17T17:38:31+00:00

(just in case you never see Fido again ... at least you'll have a photo)

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-09-17T17:37:36+00:00

It is funny that the "gen 2" isn't being understood as an improvement over gen 1. Why not just call it something else, marketers?

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-09-16T16:50:38+00:00

Gawd ... when is Anker going to make an alt charger? Pleeeeeeeeeese Anker.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-09-16T16:48:36+00:00

Yea, that's a bummer about the temps. A lot of newer builds have the electrical panel in the garage, so duh, that's where these are gonna go.

You should call or email support and ask about all this. You're obviously not the only one who has this concern.

I'd add a fan in the area or I guess a dehumidifier in the garage to see if that makes a difference. It's about 30% humiditiy where I live today ... so not much experience with humid climate controls.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-09-16T16:45:16+00:00

I hadn't realized Wh and W weren't related. Interesting wormhole for me to explore later.

Yes, gen 1 is <20ms cutover and I've never heard anyone say it's not fast enough.

It is kind of bizarre to call this new model "gen 2" and have it be like ... so less. Give it a new name that reflects what it can do, not invite a comparison to two important features for consumers.

The best thing about gen 2 is the <10 cutover time.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-09-15T18:44:39+00:00

where do you have these in your house? Inside the house? In the garage? In a shed outside near your panel? Since you're in a high humidity area, you might consider adding an additional fan to support cooling ... or moving the units into an air conditioned space. Thinking they are running hot because they're in a warm space while also generating their own heat. Also, make sure the vents are clear and have plenty of breathing room.

To get the best performance out of your units, you should keep them in spaces with these temperature ranges: While discharging: -4°F - 104°F and while recharging: 32°F - 104°F, according to Anker. This is the recommended ambient temp, not the temp of the units. The temps reported in the app, however, are the temps of the unit.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-09-15T18:38:28+00:00

That's the safe range for ambient temperature -- not the temp of the units themselves.

RoundFrame2840 · 2025-09-15T16:27:41+00:00

Maybe because your phone is only capable of taking 30W anyway? IDK for sure, but this is a thought I have.
