– LFP-based 2,010 Wh capacity with 60% remaining at 10,000 cycles, and a compact 16.2 kg body (roughly 2.7 kg lighter than the C2000 Gen 2).
– US version design splits outlets front/back (up to 1,500 W continuous, 1,800 W in bypass), improving access and reducing cable clutter.
– Recharging options: up to 1,600 W from wall and up to 400 W via XT60i solar port; front panel includes display and USB-C (100W, 15W) plus USB-A (12W).
Overview
The first bit of news is that a new Anker Solix power station has arrived, called the S2000, and it comes after the C2000 Gen 2 which was around $800 on Amazon. The S2000 is designed to be lighter and more portable, and it is initially launching in the US. The write up keeps the pricing and specs, and notes the shift toward a lighter build and different outlet distribution to adapt to practical use.
Specifications
The S2000 uses 314 Ah LFP cells with a total capacity of 2,010 Wh. The cells are rated to retain 60 percent of their original capacity after 10,000 cycles, and the whole unit measures about 20 x 28 x 32 cm while weighing 16.2 kg. This makes it lighter by roughly 2.7 kg compared to the C2000 Gen 2, which weighs 18.9 kg. The design splits the five AC outlets between the front and back to reduce cable clutter and improve accessibility from both sides.
Performance
In terms of output, the US version offers a maximum AC output of 1,500 W (1,800 W in bypass mode), which is lower than the C2000 Gen 2 but should be adequate for many on-the-go scenarios like camping. For charging, the S2000 can draw up to 1,600 W from a wall outlet, or up to 400 W via the XT60i port using a solar panel, among other methods. The front panel includes a large display with two USB-C ports (100W and 15W) and one USB-A port (12W), while a 12V car socket is not included.
Availability & Pricing
Anker Solix has started a US pre-order campaign for the S2000 with an introductory price of $679.99, often labeled as an early discount. It is not yet clear when or if the S2000 will reach Europe or what the regional pricing would be if it does, leaving some questions about availability elsewhere. The article emphasizes that pricing can change over time and may be subject to retailer restrictions.
