Anker SOLIX C1000

The Power Setup We Trust: + Velit Diesel Heater
At Sparks Overland, we don’t just sell overland gear — we use it. After real-world testing in the mountains, deserts, and forests of the West, we’ve chosen the Anker SOLIX C1000 as the ultimate power solution for our Velit diesel heaters and off-grid builds.
Why This Is the Setup We Recommend
•Spec’d for the Velit Heater
The SOLIX C1000 features a 15A 12V DC output, which means it can safely and efficiently power your Velit heater — even during cold starts. Most other power stations in this price range (including EcoFlow and Bluetti) are limited to 10A DC, which isn’t enough when running both a heater and fridge.
•Perfect for Dual Device Use
Run your Velit heater on 12V DC and your fridge (Dometic, ICECO, etc.) on 110V AC — no splitters, no cable switching, and no risk of overloading the DC port. It’s a simple, efficient setup that just works.
•Expandable for Longer Trips
Need more juice? Add the Anker 760 Expansion Battery to double your capacity to 2,592Wh. That’s enough to power your heater, fridge, lights, and charge devices for an extended trip — all without adding a second power station.
•Lightweight and Durable
At 28.4 lbs, the C1000 is easy to haul in and out of camp. The LiFePO₄ battery is rated for 3,000+ cycles, making it one of the most rugged and long-lasting systems available.
•Recharge on the Go
Accepts up to 300W of solar input for fast daytime recharging. A 100–200W panel will easily keep up with most weekend power needs.
