With the weather getting more extreme every year, power cuts are starting to feel less like a remote possibility and more like something we all need to prepare for.

Shop all power stations on Amazon

This is where portable power stations come in: these clever gadgets can power your essential gear for hours, keeping your home up and running even if the weather has other ideas.

If you're looking for a new power station – or an addition to your power station collection – you should check out this Anker Solix C1000 deal on Amazon.

We gave the original Anker SOLIX C1000 a full five-star rating in our review, and the second-generation model builds on that winning formula with a lighter, more powerful design.

Despite its compact footprint, this handy portable power station delivers a beefy 2,000W continuous AC output (with higher surge capability) and can power everything from kettles and coffee machines to power tools and camping gear.

Its 1,024Wh LiFePO4 battery is rated for around 4,000 charge cycles, promising years of regular use, while HyperFlash technology can recharge the unit from 0-100% in under an hour when plugged into the mains.

Solar charging is also supported for off-grid adventures. The power station offers multiple AC sockets alongside USB-C, USB-A and 12V outputs, letting you charge laptops, phones, drones and other gadgets simultaneously.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity pair with the Anker app for remote monitoring and control, making the C1000 Gen 2 just as practical at home during power cuts as it is on campsites or road trips.
