The Anker SOLIX S2000 Portable Power Station keeps your refrigerator, router, and CPAP machine powered through a grid outage. Plug your appliances into the five AC outlets on the case, and the S2000 delivers wall-speed power until the battery empties or your grid comes back. Storm Guard connects to the National Weather Service through the Anker app and automatically charges the battery ahead of hurricanes, ice storms, and other forecast events in your area. Plus, at 35.7 pounds, one person can carry it between rooms.

The perfect companion for anyone who needs an extra power boost anywhere they go
A standard fridge draws about 150 to 200 watts under compressor load and around 40 watts the rest of the time, and Anker rates the S2000’s 2,010-watt-hour battery at 35 hours of coverage based on those numbers. That’s a day and a half of grid downtime before you have to worry about anything in the fridge starting to warm up.
The cells inside are LiFePO4, which is a step down in energy density from the lithium-ion cells you’d find in a laptop, but a long step up in lifespan. Tesla runs LiFePO4 in the base Powerwall. Ford runs it in the standard-range F-150 Lightning. Anker uses next-generation 314 Ah cells in the S2000, the same size used in utility-scale battery installations. That’s a larger cell than most portable power stations use, and it’s why the S2000 hits a 10,000-cycle rating instead of the 3,000 to 4,000 cycles typical for this capacity.
