Common questions

How long will the Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 run a microwave?
About 1 hour from a full charge. A microwave averages about 1,500 W, and the 2,048 Wh battery gives about 1,741 Wh after inverter losses. That is 86% of the battery an hour.
Can I run other things at the same time?
Yes, up to about 900 W more of the 2,400 W output. Each thing you add shares the same battery, so the 1 hour for a microwave gets shorter.
How many days of normal use is that?
About 4 days, if you use a microwave about 15 minutes a day and nothing else is plugged in.
