Portable Power Stations

Our pick

Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2

Choose the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 for a portable station to use during outages and take camping.¹

Why this one

Its 1,024 Wh nominal capacity matches the Delta 3 Plus, while its 24.9 lb weight is lower than the EcoFlow’s 27.6 lb.¹²
Its continuous output is rated up to 2,000W, compared with the Delta 3 Plus’s 1,800W; check startup requirements separately.¹²
Five AC outlets accommodate several plug connections, provided their combined load stays within the station’s continuous rating.¹³

Other contenders

Bluetti Elite 30 V2
Choose the 9.5lb Elite 30 V2 when you need 600W continuous output with a 288Wh reserve for short carries.⁴
Bluetti Elite 100 V2
Choose the 25 lb Bluetti Elite 100 V2 for compatible solar arrays needing its 1,000 W ceiling rather than Anker’s 600 W.¹⁵
EcoFlow River 2 Pro
Choose the River 2 Pro for its approximately 18.2 lb weight when 800W continuous output covers your devices.³⁶

For riding out an outage at home

Match nominal capacity and continuous output to the backup plan; runtime depends on the connected loads.⁴⁴ Choose the Jackery HomePower 3000 when its 3,072 Wh nominal capacity and 3,600 W continuous rating fit that plan.⁴⁴ It weighs about 59.5 lb; the DELTA Pro 3 weighs about 113.5 lb.³⁰

For carrying from the car to the campsite

Prioritize lower weight for a longer carry, while checking that capacity and continuous output still cover your camping devices.³⁴⁵ Choose the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus for its 8.3 lb weight when a 288 Wh reserve and 300 W output cover the trip.³⁴⁵

For power tools, kettles, and hair dryers

Match continuous output to the connected running loads and check startup requirements separately.²¹ Choose the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 for its 4,000 W continuous rating when the Delta 2 Max’s 2,400 W rating is insufficient.²¹

For refilling from solar panels

Match the station’s solar input ceiling and electrical requirements to a compatible panel array.²¹ Choose the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 for its 2,600 W solar input ceiling when you need more than the Delta 2 Max’s 1,000 W.²¹
