Portable Power Stations
Battery power stations for camping, RVs, and home backup, compared on rated capacity, real continuous output, chemistry, recharge time, and weight.
 Anker SOLIX C1000 | 8.9The default pick at 1kWh: huge 4000W surge headroom, six outlets, hour-long recharge, and a keen price. The fan is audible under load. | 1,056 Wh | 1,800 W | LiFePO4 | 58 min | 28.4 lb | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Anker SOLIX C2000 (Gen 2) | 8.5Quietest big Anker yet, 2kWh in 42 pounds, full charge in about an hour. Round-trip efficiency near 78 percent is mediocre. | 2,048 Wh | 2,400 W | LiFePO4 | 88 min | 41.7 lb | 5 |
 Anker SOLIX C300 | 5.6Trusted Reviews measured 71.5 percent AC round-trip efficiency, could not pull the full rated load, and told readers to skip it despite the tidy build. | 288 Wh | 300 W | LiFePO4 | 68 min | 8.3 lb | 2 |
 Bluetti AC180 | 7.6The value alternative to the C1000, matching its 1800W output for less cash. Heavier, slower to charge, and the app is fussier. | 1,152 Wh | 1,800 W | LiFePO4 | 78 min | 35.3 lb | 4 |
 Bluetti EB3A | 7.5Punches far above a roughly 200 dollar price with UPS, wireless charging and fast recharge. The 268Wh pack runs out quickly. | 268 Wh | 600 W | LiFePO4 | 78 min | 10.1 lb | 2 |
 Bluetti Elite 200 V2 | 8.66000-cycle cells and a genuinely quiet 2600W inverter for roughly what rivals charge for less battery. You pay in 53 pounds of bulk. | 2,074 Wh | 2,600 W | LiFePO4 | 84 min | 53.4 lb | 4 |
 DJI Power 1000 | 8.8Near-silent even near 2200W, charges in about 70 minutes, and undercuts rivals on price. Only two AC outlets holds it back. | 1,024 Wh | 2,200 W | LiFePO4 | 70 min | 28.7 lb | 2 |
 EcoFlow DELTA 2 | 8.0Still a well-rounded, quiet 1kWh unit with six outlets and real expandability, but UPS switchover is unimpressive and newer rivals undercut it. | 1,024 Wh | 1,800 W | LiFePO4 | 80 min | 27 lb | 6 |
 EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max | 7.7Held nearly 2400 watts under a punishing combined-load test and took a Digital Trends Editors' Choice; age and price, not ability, are what hold it back. | 2,048 Wh | 2,400 W | LiFePO4 | 66 min | 50 lb | 6 |
 EcoFlow DELTA Pro | 6.5Still enormous capacity with wheels and a handle, but 99 pounds, a slow recharge and a price its own successors have made silly. | 3,600 Wh | 3,600 W | LiFePO4 | 162 min | 99 lb | 5 |
 EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro | 6.3OutdoorGearLab got only 81 percent of the claimed capacity out of it and flagged loud, erratic fan noise; cheap street pricing is now its best argument. | 768 Wh | 800 W | LiFePO4 | 70 min | 17.2 lb | 4 |
 EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus | 7.9Best of the small units: 1200W recharge, expandable to 858Wh, cheap. One AC outlet and a slightly chunky body are the compromises. | 286 Wh | 600 W | LiFePO4 | 60 min | 10.4 lb | 3 |
 Goal Zero Yeti 1500X | 3.8Old NMC cells, a 12-hour stock recharge and two outlets, sold at a brand premium LiFePO4 rivals expose immediately. Buy anything else. | 1,516 Wh | 2,000 W | NMC lithium-ion | 840 min | 45.6 lb | 2 |
 Goal Zero Yeti 700 | 4.9OutdoorGearLab ranked it ninth of twelve and got 83 percent of its rated capacity, concluding cheaper rivals do far more for the same money. | 677 Wh | 600 W | LiFePO4 | 102 min | 20.3 lb | 2Goal Zero's own product page was unreachable at the time of writing, so this count comes from hands-on testing: OutdoorGearLab and Truck Camper Magazine both report two 120V AC outlets. OutdoorGearLab adds that the two are spaced too tightly to take a pair of bulky plugs at once. |
 Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 | 7.8Lightest sensible 1kWh box and charges in an hour, but the 1500W inverter and three outlets give less headroom for the money. | 1,070 Wh | 1,500 W | LiFePO4 | 60 min | 23.8 lb | 3 |
 Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus | 7.4Genuinely expandable with a 3000W inverter, but 61 pounds and a two-hour recharge make it a lot of money for stationary duty. | 2,042 Wh | 3,000 W | LiFePO4 | 120 min | 61.5 lb | 5 |
 Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 | 8.4Around 90 percent efficiency, low idle draw and 2kWh in under 40 pounds. Solar input is too small and the pack cannot expand. | 2,042 Wh | 2,200 W | LiFePO4 | 78 min | 39.5 lb | 3 |
 Jackery Explorer 300 Plus | 4.6Superseded and outclassed: 120W charging, a 300W inverter and a single outlet mean the newer sub-300Wh crowd beats it on everything. | 288 Wh | 300 W | LiFePO4 | 120 min | 8.3 lb | 1 |
How the AI score works, and who wrote it
A language model rated these, not a test lab. Every score from1 to 10 is an AI assessment of how good the product is against the other 18 in this comparison, formed from the specifications we verified plus the published lab reviews and owner reception found while researching each one. Nobody at Slopsheets listened to, wore or plugged in any of it.
It weighs the things a spec table cannot show: how a product is actually reviewed, how well the software works, build quality, and what you get for the money. That is deliberate. An earlier version of this column was pure arithmetic on the table and it ranked a bundle of cheap boxes above a class-leading single unit, because counting hardware is not the same as judging it.
Treat it as an informed starting point and read the sourced comparison, not as a verdict. The score is relative to this comparison only, so it means nothing across categories, and it carries no price, star rating or review count. Every specification behind it is sourced and checked; the score on top of them is opinion.
