Portable power station breaks record: Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 charges faster than others

At IFA 2025 in Berlin, Germany, a new milestone in portable energy technology has been revealed – as the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 set a new Guinness World Records title for the fastest recharging portable power station (1 kWh).

During the official verification on 14 August, the device reached full power capacity in 43 minutes and 48 seconds, establishing a new global benchmark for charging efficiency.

The Anker C1000 Gen 2, rated at 1 kWh, integrates a 1,600 W UltraFast input system that coordinates voltage and temperature regulation through an advanced control algorithm. Such precision enables fast charging without compromising safety or the stability of its LiFePO₄ battery, a chemistry known for endurance and low degradation over thousands of cycles.

With a continuous output of 2000 W and a peak capacity of 3000 W, the unit can sustain a wide range of applications — from household appliances to professional equipment. Its internal configuration supports up to nine simultaneous outputs, including 140 W USB-C ports and standard 230 V sockets, all within a portable body weighing 11.3 kg (24.9 lb).

The record-setting charge time was achieved using a proprietary system known as HyperFlash technology, which synchronizes rapid current flow with dynamic thermal protection. Real-time monitoring and remote adjustment were managed through a connected app interface, ensuring precise control over every stage of the charging process.

This Guinness World Records title is more than a recognition of speed — it underscores the evolution of portable energy systems toward efficiency, reliability, and intelligent control. As renewable energy adoption accelerates, the ability to store and deploy power rapidly becomes a core criterion for both consumer and industrial users.
