The numbers
| Battery capacity | 1056Wh (LFP) |
|---|---|
| Usable energy | 898Wh (85% via AC outlets) |
| Continuous AC output | 1800W |
| Surge rating | 2400W |
| Electric pressure washer running watts | 1800W |
| Startup watts | 3000W |
| Average draw | 1800W |
| Estimated runtime | 30 minutes |
| Energy per day of typical use | 900Wh |
1056Wh × 0.85 = 898Wh usable ÷ 1800W average = 0.5 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. An electric pressure washer uses about 900Wh a day at 0.5 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the Anker SOLIX C1000 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- Electric pressure washers have a heavy motor start; many stations will trip on it.
- The Anker SOLIX C1000 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
