By Tom Calder
1,024Wh, 2,000W output and a full charge in 49 minutes at 24.9 lb, by Anker's figures: a strong all-rounder, though unlike the first C1000 it can't take an expansion battery.

Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy it if you may want more capacity later: the original C1000 takes a BP1000, or look at a 2kWh unit.
