The numbers
| Battery capacity | 1056Wh (LFP) |
|---|---|
| Usable energy | 898Wh (85% via AC outlets) |
| Continuous AC output | 1800W |
| Surge rating | 2400W |
| Gas furnace blower running watts | 600W |
| Startup watts | 1500W |
| Average draw | 300W |
| Estimated runtime | 3 hours |
| Energy per day of typical use | 7.2 kWh |
1056Wh × 0.85 = 898Wh usable ÷ 300W average = 3 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’t fully keep up. A gas furnace blower uses about 7.2 kWh a day at 24 hours of use, more than the Anker SOLIX C1000’s best-case solar harvest. Solar will stretch the runtime but not sustain it.
Tips
- A gas furnace still needs electricity for its blower and igniter. Connecting one requires a transfer switch or an inlet installed by an electrician.
- You’ll still have about 1200W 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
Will the Anker SOLIX C1000 run a gas furnace blower overnight?
No. At about 300W average it runs out after 3 hours. For a full night you need at least 2900Wh of capacity.
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.
