Anker SOLIX BP1000 A17611Z1-85 Expansion Battery, 1,056Wh LiFePO4

Usage tips

For a camping setup or backup station that needs to keep a fridge running longer, connect the BP1000 to an Anker SOLIX C1000 with the included battery-to-host cable. The extra 1,056Wh capacity expands the C1000’s available energy, so you can add runtime without switching to a different power station. The battery is designed to charge and discharge through the C1000, making the two units a connected system rather than separate power sources.

To connect, use the battery-to-host cable, an icon appears on the power station’s screen. For storage, turn off the outputs and keep the battery in a cool, dry place. The manufacturer recommends checking its remaining capacity regularly and recharging it when indicated or at least once every three months.

Benefits

The BP1000 adds capacity to a compatible C1000 when a single power station’s available energy is not enough for an outing or longer backup use. Its 1,056Wh capacity doubles the C1000’s capacity to 2,112Wh, giving you more energy for connected equipment such as a fridge. This expansion approach keeps your existing C1000 at the center of the setup, it’s a practical alternative to replacing the power station when your main goal is adding capacity.

Anker’s InfiniPower technology is rated for more than 3,000 battery cycles, described by the manufacturer as equivalent to 10 years of daily use. For faster AC recharging, connect the BP1000 to the C1000 and turn on UltraFast mode in the Anker app, the manufacturer states that the system can fully recharge in under two hours.

Highlights

The BP1000 uses LiFePO4 battery chemistry and has a 1,056Wh capacity. A three-point safety clasp helps secure the charging connection between the expansion battery and power station. The package includes the expansion battery and a battery-to-host cable, which provides the connection needed to use it with the C1000.

Customer feedback commonly praises the added capacity and extended runtime, including for refrigerator use. Comments about connectivity are mixed: some customers find the connection straightforward, while others report issues. Following the cable’s connection and release steps helps make setup clear: to disconnect, hold the battery power button for two seconds, press the knob in the center of the cable, turn it counterclockwise, and pull it out.

Questions before you buy

Which power station works with the BP1000? It is designed exclusively for the Anker SOLIX C1000. It is not compatible with the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2, so confirm your power station’s model before choosing this expansion battery.

Can the battery operate on its own or recharge from solar panels? No. It must be connected to the SOLIX C1000 for charging and discharging, and it recharges through the C1000 rather than directly from solar panels.

How do you use UltraFast charging? Connect the BP1000 to the SOLIX C1000, then enable UltraFast mode in the Anker app for AC recharging. The manufacturer states a full recharge in under two hours.

When it makes sense

Choose the SOLIX BP1000 when you already have a compatible Anker SOLIX C1000 and want more capacity for camping, outdoor power, or backup use. Its clear role is to extend the energy available from that power station, with a cable connection and a substantial 1,056Wh addition. That makes it especially relevant when keeping a fridge or other connected equipment powered for longer is the priority.
