Anker SOLIX C800 vs Segway Cube 1000
Side-by-side on the specs that decide it — surge, capacity, runtime and price.
Both models' specs verified against manufacturer listings · Last updated
The short answer
Anker SOLIX C800 costs $200 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Segway Cube 1000 holds 33% more energy (1024Wh vs 768Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Segway Cube 1000 has 2800W more surge headroom (4400W vs 1600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Anker SOLIX C800 is 3.5 lb lighter (24.9 lb vs 28.4 lb).
The C1000's smaller sibling. Same fast-charging DNA at a lower price, but the 768Wh capacity puts it firmly in weekend-trip territory.
Best for: Campers and van-lifers powering electronics, lights and a mini fridge — not home backup.
Where it falls short:
- 300W solar input is low — slow to top off off-grid
- 1600W surge rules out most motor-driven appliances
Segway's stackable home unit brings a strong 2,200W output at 1kWh and a modular design, though the cube form factor is bulkier than flat rivals.
Best for: Buyers who want a stackable, expandable home system starting at 1kWh.
Where it falls short:
- Bulky cube shape
- 3-year warranty
