Our verdict

The 2 kWh station to pick if you will actually move it: lighter than every rival here, with an RV outlet built in. Heavy solar users should look at the BLUETTI AC200L or Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • 41.7 lb: the lightest 2 kWh station we cover, by about 8 lb
  • TT-30R outlet plugs straight into an RV's 30 A inlet
  • Two 140 W USB-C ports
  • Expands to about 4 kWh with one add-on battery

Cons

  • 800 W of solar input is the lowest in the 2 kWh group
  • Expansion stops at one extra battery, where Jackery's Explorer 2000 Plus reaches 12 kWh
  • Anker's regional pages disagree on whether 4,000 cycles is to 80% or 70% capacity

The full review

Who it suits

RV owners and households that want 2 kWh of backup in a unit one person can still lift into a car. The TT-30R outlet runs an RV's 30 A circuit without an adapter.

Who should skip it

Off-grid users who plan a large solar array: 800 W is the input ceiling. Anyone planning more than 4 kWh of storage should look at the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus.

What we could not confirm

Anker's US page rates the cells at 4,000 cycles to 80% capacity, while other Anker regional pages say 70%; we show the US figure. The total number of AC outlets is not spelled out in the spec list we read. As with other SOLIX models, Anker ties its "up to 5 years" warranty to product registration.
