Each one, in short.

Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2

  • Anker’s FAQ says the model has no capacity expansion: “To improve portability by reducing weight and size, it does not include an expansion feature.”
  • The page lists 10 ports and a Time-of-Use mode in the Anker app, alongside the standard mode.
  • Anker says UltraFast Charging depends on cell temperature: it activates when the battery temperature is above 20 °C (68 °F).

BLUETTI Elite 100 V2

  • The page lists 11 ports and a 30 dB noise level, and calls the 2,700 W figure “Lifting Power”.
  • The same page sells a Bio-based shell version of the Elite 100 V2 at $499, shown next to a struck-through $699.
  • The page says the Elite 100 V2 ships from November 12 and the 200 W solar panel ships from October 29.

EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus

  • The page lists 13 outputs in total, six of them AC outlets, and an IP65 rating for the battery pack.
  • Capacity can be extended: a bundle with a DELTA 3 Series Extra Battery (2,048 Wh in total) is listed at $1,119.
  • EcoFlow says the figures on its page come from its own internal testing under varying conditions, so treat its charging times as the maker’s numbers.

Jackery Explorer 1000 v2

  • At 23.8 lb it is the lightest of the four by the published weights.
  • The price depends on the color: Dune White $519, Black $559.
  • The page says the 5-year warranty is only available when buying at jackery.com.

What the table can’t tell you

  • Charging times are not comparable. Bluetti quotes 0 to 80%, the others 0 to 100%, and the conditions differ (Anker’s 49 minutes needs a battery above 20 °C). Jackery’s spec table gives 1.58 hours, and a separate 1 hour “Emergency Super Charge” figure appears in its description.
  • Warranty lengths are missing from two product pages. Anker and Bluetti state them on policy pages instead. See the warranty and return terms.
  • Peak output has four names. Anker says “peak”, Bluetti “lifting power”, EcoFlow and Jackery “surge”. The page for each maker does not define them the same way, so we show them as stated. See what the specs mean.
  • Shipping dates matter this season. Two of the four pages say the unit ships in November.

How we compare

Every value comes from a page that the maker publishes: product pages, policy pages and warranty tables. We did not test these products, and nothing on this page is a review or a rating. When a maker does not state a detail on the page we read, the cell says so instead of guessing. Prices and shipping dates change quickly; the maker’s page is final. Figures marked “our arithmetic” are divisions or subtractions of published numbers, not measurements.
