Quick answers

Is the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 better than the DJI Power 1000 V2?

DJI Power 1000 V2 takes capacity and output, Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 takes weight and noise — the decision is which of those you need, not overall quality. If neither is your constraint, the composite tiebreak goes to DJI Power 1000 V2 by 3 points — a hair, not a mandate.

Which has more usable capacity, the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 or DJI Power 1000 V2?

Neither, in any way you would notice: 870 Wh against 870 Wh is a 0% gap, which is smaller than the swing you get from running the same load on a cold morning. Treat them as the same size and decide on output, weight, or today's price instead. Both figures are estimated AC-delivered energy, not the nameplate battery rating — the watt-hours that actually reach your devices.

Which has more AC output, the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 or DJI Power 1000 V2?

The DJI Power 1000 V2: 2,000 W versus 2,600 W continuous. That gap matters only if a load sits between the two numbers — below 2,000 W both run it, above 2,600 W neither does. Neither model publishes a surge figure we can source, so startup capability is unresolved here — check it before planning around a motor or compressor load.

How does runtime compare between the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 and DJI Power 1000 V2?

They run within 0% of each other on the same load — about 13.8 hours each on a refrigerator (full-size). Runtime will not separate these two; the deciding factor is somewhere else.

Which is lighter, the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 or DJI Power 1000 V2?

The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2, by 2.7 kg (11.3 kg versus 14 kg). Both weights are manufacturer figures for the bare unit; cables and a solar panel add to whatever you actually carry.

Which recharges faster from the wall, the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 or DJI Power 1000 V2?

The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2: 49 minutes from empty to full against 56 minutes, a difference of 7 minutes. This matters most between outages and during a short grid window — if you only ever recharge overnight, it does not matter at all.

Which model should I buy for my use case?

On the sub-scores that describe each use case: the DJI Power 1000 V2 for home backup; the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 for camping & rv. They split, so the honest answer depends on which of those you are actually buying for.
