Anker SOLIX C800 vs UGREEN PowerRoam 2000
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 $700 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- UGREEN PowerRoam 2000 holds 167% more energy (2048Wh vs 768Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- UGREEN PowerRoam 2000 has 2000W more surge headroom (3600W vs 1600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Anker SOLIX C800 is 30.1 lb lighter (24.9 lb vs 55 lb).
Anker SOLIX C800
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
UGREEN PowerRoam 2000
UGREEN's 2kWh option covers full-day home backup at a competitive price, though it isn't expandable like the majors' modular systems.
Best for: Buyers who want a self-contained 2kWh backup without building a modular system.
Where it falls short:
- 55 lb
- Not expandable
