The original US Anker SOLIX F2000, also called PowerHouse 767, gives a 12V camping fridge a larger energy budget between charging stops. Its 2,048Wh battery is useful for trips lasting several days, provided you can load and secure a 67.2lb station. With a 10% reserve and an assumed 85% delivery factor, the calculation below gives about 75 hours for a fridge consuming 500Wh per day.
This guide covers model A1780 with 120V, 60Hz AC output. It does not cover C2000 Gen 2. Wild Smart Gear has not measured F2000 fridge runtime, charging speed or vehicle fit; the specifications come from Anker’s manual, and the runtime figures are calculated examples.
Correction, October 22, 2026: Earlier versions of this article included unsupported first-hand testing and experience claims. Those claims have been removed.
Can you load and secure the F2000 in your SUV?
The F2000 weighs 67.2lb / 30.5kg before you add cables or an expansion battery. Its wheels and retractable handle help you move it without carrying it across a level area, but you still need a workable way to get it over the vehicle’s loading sill. Consider how often you will unload it and whether you can safely handle that lift or need assistance.
Anker lists the size as 20.7 × 15.5 × 9.8in, or 52.5 × 39.5 × 25.0cm. The specifications table does not label the axes. Check the actual orientation against your cargo area, with room for the fridge lid, cable plugs and ventilation. Secure both appliances for travel and keep the station on a flat surface during use, as the manual requires.
For a short trip, the original C1000 fridge assessment is worth comparing before accepting the F2000’s weight. The larger station becomes more useful when your measured energy demand calls for longer gaps between recharging.
Original F2000 specifications for fridge planning
These ratings are from the English section of Anker’s F2000 / PowerHouse 767 user manual, product A1780, checked October 23, 2026. The English specifications are on printed page EN 07. Match the model and regional electrical ratings to your unit.
| Specification | Manual rating |
|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 2,048Wh |
| Car socket output | 12V, 10A |
| AC output | 120V, 60Hz; 2,400W maximum |
| AC charging input | 1,440W maximum |
| Solar input | 11 to 32V at 10A; 32 to 60V at 20A; 1,000W maximum |
| USB-C direction | Output only; cannot recharge the station |
| Charging temperature | 32°F to 104°F / 0°C to 40°C |
| Discharging temperature | -4°F to 104°F / -20°C to 40°C |
| Net weight | 67.2lb / 30.5kg |
For a fridge connected by its DC cable, compare the fridge’s permitted input and maximum current with the 12V, 10A car-output specification. At those ratings, 12V × 10A = 120W. The 2,400W AC rating does not make more current available to a DC fridge. Check the manual and port labels before treating multiple sockets as independently additive outputs.
A fridge’s daily energy use tells you how much battery it needs; maximum running and startup demand tell you whether the connection can supply it. Check both. Use the fridge’s approved cable and verify any low-voltage cutoff setting against its instructions.
Turn off Power Saving for a fridge that cycles
The manual says Power Saving mode can turn off the station once connected devices are fully charged. It recommends turning that mode off for stable operation over extended periods. For a cycling fridge, disable Power Saving and verify the complete setup before relying on it overnight. The manual’s general guidance is not a measured guarantee for your fridge.
Switch on the car socket, connect the fridge, and check that cooling restarts after several compressor-off periods. Repeat the check over an overnight run. With AC connections, the manual separately describes a shutdown when no plug is detected for more than 15 minutes, regardless of the Power Saving setting; that rule should not be treated as a stated DC timeout.
What the 2,048Wh battery could cover
Use a representative 24-hour energy measurement from your fridge and include every other device using the station. Ambient temperature, thermostat setting and lid openings affect consumption. The fridge runtime guide explains why compressor watts alone cannot predict the number of days.
Assume the F2000 starts fully charged with a healthy battery. Keep 10% in reserve, then use an 85% delivery factor for conversion and operating losses, including standby use. This is the same planning convention used in our C1000 article, not a measured efficiency for either station. Real losses vary with load and elapsed time.
Planned energy at the loads = 2,048Wh × 0.90 × 0.85 = 1,566.72Wh. Runtime in hours = 1,566.72Wh ÷ total daily energy in Wh × 24. These estimates include no recharging or expansion battery.
| Total energy used per day | Runtime under these assumptions |
|---|---|
| 300Wh, fridge only | 125.3 hours, about 5.2 days |
| 500Wh, fridge only | 75.2 hours, about 3.1 days |
| 600Wh, fridge plus other loads | 62.7 hours, about 2.6 days |
| 800Wh, combined loads | 47.0 hours, about 2.0 days |
Do not round the 75.2-hour example into a promise of three days. At 500Wh per day, a 75% delivery assumption gives 66.4 hours, while 90% gives 79.6 hours. That sensitivity check shows how much the estimate changes; it is not a guaranteed range for real use.
A three-day trip with lights and charging
Suppose the fridge consumes 500Wh per day and other devices use 100Wh. Three days need (500 + 100) × 3 = 1,800Wh at the loads. That exceeds the planned 1,566.72Wh by 233.28Wh. Under the same 85% delivery assumption, about 274.45Wh must reach the battery during the trip to close the gap while keeping the chosen reserve.
Without recharging, the three-day budget allows about 522Wh per day for everything. After a 100Wh allowance for other devices, the fridge has about 422Wh per day. If your measurement is higher, arrange charging or more capacity before departure.
Plan the recharge stop in watt-hours
Wall charging
The manual permits up to 1,440W AC charging from the specified 120V supply. That is an input ceiling, not an average over the entire recharge. Available supply, charging losses and tapering affect the time needed. Use the approved AC cable and a suitable outlet, and account for other equipment sharing the circuit.
Solar charging
Anker specifies an XT-60 solar connection, with a 10A limit in the 11 to 32V band and a 20A limit in the 32 to 60V band, up to 1,000W overall. The manual illustrates up to five Anker 531 200W panels. Follow its wiring arrangement and check panel electrical specifications, including open-circuit voltage, before connecting a different array.
For example, an assumed average input of 250W over three hours supplies 750Wh to the station. At an assumed 90% charging efficiency, 675Wh reaches the battery. Applying the earlier 85% delivery factor leaves about 574Wh for later loads. That would fall slightly short of replacing a 600Wh day of use. A large maximum input rating does not establish how much your panels will collect under trees or in poor weather.
Car charging
The manual includes car charging through the supplied cable but does not give a guaranteed sustained car charging rate. Check the vehicle socket’s limit and record actual input during a representative drive. USB-C is output only, so a USB-C car charger cannot replenish this station through those ports.
At an assumed 100W input and 90% charging efficiency, closing the three-day example’s 274.45Wh battery shortfall takes about 3.0 hours. Replacing a full 600Wh day is a larger task: 600 ÷ 0.85 = 705.88Wh at the battery, then 705.88 ÷ (100 × 0.90) = 7.8 hours. These are hypothetical calculations before tapering or interruptions, not tested F2000 charging times. A short drive can bridge a small trip shortfall while still being inadequate for daily replenishment. See the SUV charging guide for the vehicle-side checks.
Expansion adds capacity and another item to handle
The original manual names the Anker 760 Portable Power Station Expansion Battery, rated at 2,048Wh, for a combined 4,096Wh. Under the same reserve and delivery assumptions, that gives 3,133.44Wh at the loads, or about 5.2 days at 600Wh per day.
Check the exact accessory and its instructions before buying. A newer battery with a similar capacity or name is not proof of compatibility. The expansion unit also needs cargo space, restraint and a safe loading plan; the F2000’s 67.2lb figure covers the main station only.
When the F2000’s size is justified
The F2000 is a reasonable candidate when the measured load exceeds a smaller station’s trip budget, charging stops are infrequent and you can manage the weight. At the 600Wh combined daily load used here, plan to recharge before 63 hours under these assumptions. Frequent unloading and limited cargo space may make a smaller battery with dependable charging easier to use.
Placement still has to meet Anker’s temperature and ventilation instructions. The manual warns against prolonged direct-sun exposure in a car and lists 104°F / 40°C as the upper charging and discharging limit. Check the temperature where the battery sits, keep vents clear, and use the hot-car storage guide when planning parked stops.
Before travel, confirm that you can load and secure the station, the fridge restarts through cooling cycles, and your charging plan replaces the required watt-hours. Compare those results with the fridge power station buying guide before deciding how much battery to carry.
