The Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen2 charging station is finally in the Czech Republic! It has 2,400 W and weighs under 19 kg

Anker is among the most well-known manufacturers of portable power stations, and its 2kWh second-generation model has finally arrived on the Czech market. The Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen2 is available on Alza for 28,999 CZK with free delivery. In international tests (Notebookcheck), the station performed as “one of the most attractive 2kWh stations on the market” – and the main reason is simple: it lost 12 kilograms compared to its predecessor, yet offers the same or higher performance.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you need a backup for your home, cottage, caravan, or camping – 2,048 Wh can power a refrigerator, laptop, lighting, and even power tools.
⚠️ Consider if you plan to operate with low power consumption (under 200 W) – AC output efficiency at low load drops to approx. 79%. At higher consumption, it rises to 90%.
💡 For 28,999 CZK you get a LiFePO4 battery with a lifespan of 4,000 cycles, a 1.5-hour charge time, 9 outputs, UPS function, and a weight under 19 kg.

What has changed compared to its predecessor

The previous generation (Anker Solix F2000, formerly PowerHouse 767) weighed over 30 kg and had wheels with a telescopic handle. The C2000 Gen2 shed 11.6 kg – now it weighs 18.9 kg and no longer needs wheels. Dimensions decreased from 52.5 × 25 × 39.5 cm to 45.9 × 25 × 25.7 cm. Capacity remained the same (2,048 Wh), but peak power increased from 3,600 W to 4,000 W while maintaining a continuous 2,400 W. AC charging power increased from 2,200 to 2,300 W. New generation LiFePO4 cells have a lifespan of 4,000 cycles to 80% capacity, and the UPS function reacts twice as fast. However, Anker omitted the integrated LED light – which might be an issue when camping.

Outputs, charging, and practical use

The station has 9 outputs: 4× 230 V sockets, 3× USB-C (2 of which are up to 140 W – you can charge a MacBook Pro at full speed), 1× USB-A (12 W), and 1× 12V car socket (120 W) for a car refrigerator or lighting. Charging input: AC from the grid (2,300 W, full charge in approx. 1.5 hours) and XT60 DC for solar panels (up to 800 W). By combining both inputs, you can achieve up to 2,600 W of charging power. Capacity can be expanded with the Solix BP2000 Gen2 add-on battery to 4,096 Wh.

Control is via the LCD display directly on the station or remotely via the Anker app (Bluetooth + Wi-Fi). In the app, you can set charging/discharging limits, schedule charging during off-peak tariff hours, activate energy-saving mode, or remotely control individual ports. Notebookcheck praises the station in its review for operating almost silently – under high load, they measured only 35 dB from a meter, which is quieter than a typical refrigerator.

What it can power

With a capacity of 2,048 Wh and a continuous output of 2,400 W, the station is suitable for more than just charging phones. A few indicative examples: it powers a laptop (50 W) for approximately 35 hours, a refrigerator (100–150 W) for around 12–18 hours, a microwave (1,000 W) for about 1.5 hours, and an electric grill (2,000 W) for roughly an hour. The peak power of 4,000 W can also handle short-term power draws from motor appliances (compressor, circular saw) during startup. For a cottage without a grid connection, in combination with solar panels, it’s a viable alternative – the 800 W solar input will replenish the battery on a sunny day.

What international tests say

Notebookcheck tested the European version of the station and rated it positively: quiet operation, fast charging, compact dimensions, and sufficient power. The main criticism concerns efficiency at low AC loads – with a continuous draw of around 200 W, they measured a usable capacity of only about 1,600 Wh out of 2,048 Wh (79%). At higher loads (1,800 W), efficiency increases to approximately 90%, which is a standard value. They consider the missing LED light a compromise – its predecessor had it, and it was useful for camping. Overall, they rate the C2000 Gen2 as “one of the most attractive 2kWh stations on the market,” even compared to competitors from EcoFlow (Delta 2 Max) and Bluetti (Elite 200 V2), which are heavier with comparable features.

Verdict

The Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen2 for 28,999 CZK is a solid choice for those looking for a portable power station with large capacity, fast charging, and reasonable weight. The LiFePO4 battery with 4,000 cycles means years of use, 9 outputs cover most situations, and at 18.9 kg, you can carry it into a caravan without assistance. The 800 W solar input and expandability to 4,096 Wh add flexibility. However, if you primarily plan for low power consumption (charging small electronics), a smaller station will be more efficient. For a cottage, home backup during power outages, or all-day camping with cooking, the C2000 Gen2 is one of the best stations in its class.
