$499.99 at Anker, Oct 23 · 1,024 Wh · 2,000 W

The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 runs an average fridge about 15% longer: 12.4 h vs 10.8 h. Prices are close: $499 and $499.99 (makers’ prices, Oct 23). The Elite 100 V2’s own 10 W draw is included. Anker SOLIX lists no own-draw figure for the C1000 Gen 2, so the real gap is likely smaller. The gap shrinks at higher loads, where own draw matters less (table below).

Pick the Elite 100 V2 for faster solar refills; pick the C1000 Gen 2 for longer fridge runtimes.
