How we worked it out: 1,024 Wh × 0.85 ÷ 45 W average (150 W × 0.3 duty) = about 19 hours. The 0.85 covers inverter and battery losses. We do not test units ourselves; the numbers come from the official spec sheets and typical device draws. How we pick

Common questions

How long will the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 run a full-size fridge?
About 19 hours from a full charge. A full-size fridge averages about 45 W (150 W running, on about 30% of the time), and the 1,024 Wh battery gives about 870 Wh after inverter losses. That is 5.2% of the battery an hour.
Will the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 start a full-size fridge?
Yes. It needs about 1,000 W for a moment when the compressor starts, and the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 is rated for 3,000 W surge, 3.0 times that. Avoid starting other motors at the same moment.
How much of the battery does a full-size fridge use in a day?
About 1,080 Wh a day (45 W × 24 hours), more than the 870 Wh the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 can deliver, so plan to recharge every 19 hours.
