Powering my Northstar SC 650 truck camper
Update:Returned home after a 30 day trip back in May 2024, traveling from NC to upstate NY in our northstar SC 650,. We used this the Solix C1000 with the expansion battery everyday. Although It won’t power our rooftop AC, it powered everything else. Came in super handy during quiet hours when we wanted to use our microwave, or keurig coffee maker and so on. We do carry a generator on board so at the end of everyday around 4-6 pm, we would start our generator and backcharge our entire system. Our onboard solar system would charge our “house battery” but the generator would top off the anker system in about 1-1.5 hours depending on how much power was drawn off the system. We keep the system in our camper and backpower through the shore power hookup. It worked flawlessly for the entire trip. It’s pretty handy given the weight, I put the main system where we want it and then stack the auxiliary battery and hook them together with the provided cord.No regrets on this purchase to date.The C1000 and BP 1000 work well for our specific needs and physically handling the system wrt weight is just right!Hope this update helps someone out who is looking for a similar system for a similar application.After purchasing the solix C1000 and then partnering it with the BP1000, I have doubled the output watts I desire to power my northstar sc650 truck camper over a longer offgrid experience.Although I’ve not tested it on a multi day trip yet, but testing over several hours and running the things I normally would on shore power, I am extremely happy with what it can now power over extended periods of time.Literally running multiple items from our microwave, furnace, hot water heater, and more, when plugged into the surge pad socket with a 15 amp cord I am essentially runningeverything I need when I need it.The BP1000 discharges first and then will consume power from the C1000 and Vice-versa when charging the system back up.I believe that the system is setup this way so that the user will always have control over power charging and dischargingThe system does not have a pass through charge function but rather works like a UPS system in the sense that when plugged into shore power and backcharging, if power is needed to run something, the system will stop charging and immediately switch into ups mode and power what you need in the moment.Our plan is to use this system in campgrounds during quiet hours when gas generators cannot be used.Based on our particular wants & needs, I Would highly recommend.I wanted something small but that packed a high watt output when I need it.So far, so good. Boondocking in my northstar truck camper I am able to backpower the entire camper with the Solix C1000 for about a 24 hour period.This depends of course on what I am running. Occasional microwave oven use, my fridge on propane setting, lights, water pump, even the hot water heater and hot air furnace, again, limited high use items.Only used so far on 2 overnight trips.Next morning I use an 1800-2200 watt generator to power the anker back to full from about 15% only drawing a set watt charge of about 750. The generators rpm only increase a little bit and the anker is charged in about 1 hour and 30 minutes.I could increase my charge watts to 1000 and be done inside of 50 minutes or less but I want to break the unit in several charge cycles first and I like running my generator on eco mode.The anker is not heavy at only 28 lbs and I can set it up on my campers kitchen counter or just about anyplace else inside my rig.I bought it for $650 from amazon, anker Direct, and it shipped to my house in under 5 days and came in just under $700 total, a great buy in my opinion.I am looking to eventually buy the expansion battery to give more power in depth but am in no rush at this point.I am 100% satisfied with this small yet powerful unit. It definitely lives up to what it says it can do, also, the app is simply incredible.Great job to the folks at anker.Highly recommended, just do your homework on what you plan to use it for.I’ve been a goal zero fan for years but it’s the older led acid yeti 400 and 1250 units.Great products and they still work great, I also have the ego nexus system and run 7.5 amp batteries on it, again, great units all around but this anker system takes the cake.Size, weight, power output, and charge times is what sold me!!Happy shopping.

Great product with a few small areas needing improvement
Great product with a few small areas for improvement.I’m really happy with this product. It has a nice capacity, good handles for carrying (It’s quite heavy) and plenty of ports. It also can supply 1500 Watts continuous (my must requirement for my use model). A few nits:- As someone else mentioned, low draw USB devices may be too low to where it stops supplying power to the port- The choice of connector for the solar charge port is unfortunate. There doesn’t seem to be a single standard for this and the choice was probably made to ensure power handling capacity – 200W or more – but the cable just does not stay in this connector very well in real use. It’s frustrating to find your power unit hasn’t been charging for the last few hours because the solar panel disconnected from a crappy connector.- Another small complaint – The front panel has either huge fonts or tiny fonts. In the outdoors, it’s really hard to read remaining charge time, discharge rate or charge rate due to a small font in a somewhat washed out display.From mains power, charging speed is impressive. The supplied mains cable is too thick and should be a bit longer, but this is easily replaced.I still give this 5 stars because the price and overall functionality is very impressive.

Voila 1 an que nous utilisons cette batterie principalement pour du car camping et alimenter un réfrigérateur BougeRV Aspen ainsi que la charge de tous les équipements électroniques.Lors du premier essai, il a été branché a la prise voiture et le Aspen. Nous avons eu la surprise que la batterie s’est arrêtés dans la nuit. Heureusement qu’il ne faisait pas trop chaud et le réfrigérateur était toujours froid au matin. Plus tard ce problème a été corrigé avec une mise a jour du firmware.Il me permet d’alimenter le réfrigérateur de camping pendant 3 jours (en plus de charger d’autres appareils type cellulaire) si la température extérieure n’est pas trop chaude. Au dessus de 25 degrés C, cela peut descendre a 48 heures.L’appareil est costaud même si un peu lourd mais les 2 poignées sont vraiment pratique a l’usage.Point que j’ai aimé c’est sa recharge, en une heure maximum, la batterie peut être rechargé complétement.L’écran est très lisible. L’application sur cellulaire est pratique aussi pour voir l’état de la batterie. Il faut parfois lui forcer la main pour reconnecter l’appareil dans l’application surtout en l’absence de Wifi.La disposition des prises est très bonne et je n’ai pas rencontré de problème de place avec certains cables de charge.J’ai par la suite et grâce a de belles promotions, acheté des panneaux solaires ainsi que l’extension de batterie mais a ce jour je n’ai pas encore pu les utiliser. La seul chose que je n’aime pas avec l’extension de batterie c’est le cable de liaison qui va vers le C1000 qui est rigide et trop encombrant. Un cable plus souple aurait été apprécié.Au global, très bon appareil et qui peut servir aussi en cas de panne électrique a la maison. C’est toujours satisfaisant d’avoir de la lumière, internet ou pour garder en vie un plus gros réfrigérateur le temps que la panne soit résolue.C’est un produit hautement recommandé

Absolute brilliant piece of kit and really good price have also bought a C300 for the car , and it charges from flat to exactly what they say .

Kept my fridge running for 3 days away still with 17% left when we left. Charges indoors quite quickly. Only downside is it’s really heavy ☹️
