Specs side by side
| Spec | Anker SOLIX C1000 | BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 1,056 Wh[source]Tech Specs 'Capacity: 1056Wh'. This is the original C1000 (A1761), not the C1000X (separate page, /products/a1761111) or the C1000 Gen 2 (1,024 Wh). The US page shows the unit as 'Sold Out' on 2026-10-18. | 1,024 Wh[source]Manual V5.1 spec table: 'Battery Capacity 1,024Wh (20Ah)'. The product page comparison table agrees. |
| Usable capacity (measured) | 897 Wh[source]OutdoorGearLab (US unit, AC output) measured 897 Wh, about 85% of rated. ComputerBase (EU 230 V unit) measured 993 Wh at 500 W and 954 Wh at 2,000 W; the lower figure is used. | 890 Wh[source]OutdoorGearLab measured '890 Wh out of its advertised 1,024 Wh' (87%). The test load is not stated. TechReviewer.de (apparently the 230 V EU unit) drew 946 Wh at a constant 500 W load and says usable capacity falls to about 80% at loads in the tens of watts. The lower figure is used. |
| AC continuous output | 1,800 W[source]'AC Continuous Output: 1800W Pure Sine Wave'. | 1,800 W[source]Manual spec table: 'AC Output 1,800W Max., 120V, 15A Max., 50Hz / 60Hz'. Power Lifting mode runs resistive loads up to 2,700 W. |
| AC surge output | 2,400 W[source]'AC Surge Output: 2400W' (SurgePad, for heat-generating devices). | 3,600 W[source]Official FAQ A4: '1,800W continuous AC output, 2,700W lifing power, and up to 3,600W surge with HyperVolt™'. The page meta description also says 'surge 3600W'. The US manual spec table gives no surge figure. |
| 240 V output | No[source]Official spec data 'AC Output Voltage: 120V'; no 240 V output. | No[source]Manual spec table: 'AC Output 1,800W Max., 120V, 15A Max.' No 240 V output. |

| Expandable | Yes[source]'Increase the capacity of C1000 with an extra 1,056Wh' via the BP1000 expansion battery (1 max). | No[source]No expansion battery port. Official FAQ A18 says B80 batteries can be connected with an 'Aviation to XT60' cable, but only in the B80's 'Power Bank Mode', which charges the unit through its DC input rather than adding capacity. |
| UPS / EPS switchover | 20 ms[source]Tech Specs 'UPS Switch Time: <20ms'. | 10 ms[source]Manual spec table: 'Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Switchover Time 10 ms'. The product page says '10ms UPS Backup' and the comparison table '≤10 ms'. |

Runtime = usable capacity ÷ average draw, the same formula for both models (no idle draw added to either), after checking continuous output and startup surge. Usable capacity is an independent test's measured figure, or 80% of rated where none exists. See the methodology.
