Can the Anker SOLIX C1000 Run a Circular Saw?

Updated 2026-10-17 · Startup risk

Probably not reliably. Once running, a circular saw draws about 1400W, within the Anker SOLIX C1000’s 1800W rating. But its startup surge of roughly 2600W exceeds the station’s 2400W surge limit, so the inverter is likely to trip the moment the motor starts. If it does start, it would run for about 38 minutes.

The numbers

Battery capacity	1056Wh (LFP)
Usable energy	898Wh (85% via AC outlets)
Continuous AC output	1800W
Surge rating	2400W
Circular saw running watts	1400W
Startup watts	2600W
Average draw	1400W
Estimated runtime	38 minutes
Energy per day of typical use	350Wh

1056Wh × 0.85 = 898Wh usable ÷ 1400W average = 0.6 hours

Recharging with solar

The Anker SOLIX C1000 accepts up to 600W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 2.3 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.

Solar can keep up. A circular saw uses about 350Wh a day at 0.25 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the Anker SOLIX C1000 can run it indefinitely.

Tips

Corded 7¼-inch saws pull a big inrush when the blade spins up. That surge, not total energy, decides whether it works.
You’ll still have about 400W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
The Anker SOLIX C1000 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.

FAQ

How long does the Anker SOLIX C1000 take to recharge with solar?

With its maximum 600W of solar input it refills in about 2.3 hours of strong sun. With a single 200W panel, expect about 7 hours of full sun.

Which power station can run a circular saw?

The EcoFlow Delta 2 (1024Wh, 1800W output) can, for about 37 minutes. See the comparison table below for more options.
