Recharging Your Power Station
AC Recharging (1000W Max)
Recharge your power station by connecting it to a wall outlet using the AC charging cable.
Illustration showing the power station connected to a wall outlet via an AC charging cable.UltraFast Recharging (1300W Max)
The UltraFast feature allows a maximum recharge rate of 1300W via the AC charging cable. This feature can be enabled or disabled in the Anker app.
While ultra-fast recharging is convenient, recharging at a normal speed can best protect the battery. Anker recommends using UltraFast recharging only when necessary.
Solar Panel Recharging (600W Max)
Recharge your power station with a maximum solar input of 600W. The PV connector to XT-60 charging cable and solar panel extension cables (3m) are included with Anker SOLIX solar panels.

Powering On / Off
Press and hold the main power button for 3 seconds to turn your power station on or off.
When the "Remaining Battery" indicator shows on the LCD screen, your power station is ready to charge devices.
Illustration of the power station's LCD screen indicating it is on, with a timer icon and a 3-second countdown graphic.- When powered on, press the main power button briefly to turn the screen on or off.
- The screen will automatically turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity. This auto-off time can be set in the Anker app.
- If the output buttons are turned off and there are no active loads for 12 hours, the power station will power off automatically. This standby duration can also be set in the Anker app.
Powering Your Devices
AC Charging
Press the AC outlet button and connect your device to the AC output ports.
The AC outlets can intelligently identify if a plug is inserted. This helps prevent power waste by automatically turning off the power station if no plug is detected for more than 15 minutes.

The SurgePad™ feature allows the power station to power high-wattage devices up to 2400W without overload.
- SurgePad™ automatically activates when the total output exceeds the rated output, enabling the power station to deliver rated power to high-wattage devices.
- SurgePad™ does not function in bypass mode (when the power station is being charged with the AC output on).
- SurgePad™ works best with devices that generate heat. It does not support precision instruments or devices with strict voltage requirements or voltage protection. To test compatibility, try powering your high-wattage devices with the power station.
Connecting with an Expansion Battery
Your power station can be connected with an optional expansion battery to double its capacity to 2112Wh. Please refer to the user manual of the Anker SOLIX BP1000 Expansion Battery (1056Wh) for detailed instructions.

- Q1: What is the maximum power output of the AC output ports?
- The AC output ports can deliver a maximum of 1800W rated power to connected devices.
- Q2: What should I do when using a solar charger to charge my power station?
- The solar input supports an 11-60V solar charger with an XT-60 connector. If you use an 11-32V solar charger, the current supports 10A max. When you use a 32-60V solar charger, the current supports 12.5A max. Anker recommends using Anker solar panels (200W or 400W) for the best compatibility.
- Q3: Can the USB-C ports charge the power station (input only), or are they output only?
- The USB-C ports support output only.
- Q4: What should I do when AC recharging fails?
- If AC recharging does not work, check if the overload protection switch is turned on. If it is on, press down to reset and then continue recharging.
- Q5: How do I reset my power station?
- If your power station is not working correctly, insert a paper clip or pin into the reset hole for 1 second for a factory reset. If the power station still doesn't work, please contact support@anker.com. Illustration of the power station with a close-up view of the reset hole, indicating insertion of a paper clip or pin.
- Q6: Why is the power station not working after it hasn't been used for a long time?
- If the power station is stored at a low capacity for a long time, lithium batteries will self-consume power, which may lead to a quick discharge. This often results in poor conductivity and a reduced battery lifespan, causing the battery not to work.
- Q7: How should I store and maintain the power station?
- When storing your power station, please ensure that you:
- Turn off the main power button.
- Store the power station in a dry and cool environment.
- Check the remaining battery capacity each week. If the battery level is below 30%, fully charge the power station. Charge it to 100% once every 3 months.
