Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2

Anker's 2kWh station for people who read the outlet count: five 20A receptacles plus a TT-30R, so a fridge, a freezer, a modem and a window air conditioner can each have their own socket. It lands at 41.7 pounds, with 2,048Wh of LiFePO4 rated 4,000 cycles, a 2,400W inverter and 4,000W surge, and the fan quiets to about 30 dB. The recharge numbers are the draw: 80% in 45 minutes and 100% in 58 on a wall outlet, and an 800W alternator input. A BP2000 expansion battery takes it to 4kWh. The low idle draw and the app's Storm Guard mode earn praise, and the usual complaints are price once the battery is added and no L14-30 for a transfer switch, since the TT-30 is 120V. Anker lists it at $1,499 and sells it for far less most weeks.

Anker SOLIX F3000

The F3000 is Anker's wheeled 3kWh answer to the DELTA Pro class, built for multi-day fridge backup that can grow. 3,072Wh of LiFePO4 at 3,600W continuous and 7,200W surge handles a fridge, furnace, sump and well pump at once, and a single unit lasts about a day and a half on an essentials load at the idle draw Anker quotes. It expands with BP3000 batteries up to roughly 12kWh on one unit, and a Double Voltage Hub (sold separately) pairs two units for 240V. At 91.5 pounds it needs the wheels and pull handle, and owners say the fans stay quieter than a gas generator even under load, though Anker publishes no dB figure. The TT-30R is 120V, so feeding a home inlet at 240V needs the hub. Anker lists it at $1,699 and sells it for several hundred dollars less most weeks.

Anker SOLIX F3800

The original F3800 is the unit that made owners start saying the words whole-house about a rolling box. 3,840Wh with 6,000W continuous and 9,000W surge in a single unit, with both 120V and 240V on board: six 20A outlets, an L14-30 and a 14-50, so it feeds a transfer switch or inlet box without a hub. It scales with six BP3800 expansion batteries on one unit (about 27kWh) and pairs with a second F3800 for 12kW. At 132 pounds on wheels it is a two-person lift on stairs. The sheer output and the AC-coupling support for existing solar win people over; the weight, expansion-battery price, fan noise under heavy load (Anker publishes no figure) and the solar-input limit that earlier firmware imposed come up as complaints. It is the older sibling of the F3800 Plus, which adds the generator-bypass and a higher solar input.
