Quick answers

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

DJI Power 1000 V2 leads by 11 points overall.

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

Neither, in any way you would notice: 860 Wh against 870 Wh is a 1.2% 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 or DJI Power 1000 V2?

The DJI Power 1000 V2: 1,800 W versus 2,600 W continuous. That gap matters only if a load sits between the two numbers — below 1,800 W both run it, above 2,600 W neither does. Only the Anker SOLIX C1000 publishes a sourced surge figure (2,400 W); the DJI Power 1000 V2 has no sourced surge figure, so startup capability is only half-answered here — check the missing side before planning around a motor or compressor load.

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

They run within 1.2% of each other on the same load — about 13.7 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 or DJI Power 1000 V2?

The Anker SOLIX C1000, by 1.1 kg (12.9 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 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 for camping & rv. They split, so the honest answer depends on which of those you are actually buying for.
