Directly above the display is a long LED light strip with three brightness levels.

Even on the lowest setting, the light was strong enough to illuminate my dark garage.
Another excellent design feature is the long flat top.
The battery has a 2,048Wh capacity.

So its perfect to use as a home backup, while camping, or anywhere you need power.
The AC ports can provide up to 2,400W of output in total.
That should allow you to charge anything you could think of.

In my testing, I was able to use all four AC ports simultaneously with no issue at all.
On the rear of the battery is an AC input and solar/car input to juice up from various sources.
At the bottom is a port to attach the optional Anker 760 Expansion Battery.

Using that will double the capacity to 4,096Wh.
Sporting such a large capacity, the F2000 isnt exactly svelte, just like many other similar battery packs.
But it sports a secret weapon to make transporting it much easier.

On the right side, below one of the carry grips, is a retractable handle.
While using the battery pack, Ive extensively used the carry handle to transport it.
I tried it out on multiple surfaceseverything from a concrete garage to a muddy and hilly campsite.

And I never had an issue getting stuck.
It is still heavy, but I was able to easily put it in the rear of my SUV.
I also charged my smartphone and other electronics at the same time.
One of the unexpected positives of the battery pack is how quiet it is when being used.
Two great features also help you conserve power.
Power Saving Mode is activated when you press a button near the screen of the battery pack.
Theres no need to activate the Smart AC Plug feature.
A complete 100% change takes just two hours.
Thats significantly faster than the vast majority of similar battery packs.
In real-world testing, those numbers easily held up.
I charged from 0 to 80 in 82 minutes.
you’ve got the option to also harness the power of the sun with solar charging.
If youre new to backup battery systems and solar technology, Anker offers bundles with solar panels.
The F2000 uses a standard XT-60 solar plug.
But those are less than $10 on Amazon.
Finally, you might also charge the battery pack with a car charging cable.
The app is handy to control the battery pack and more.
Youll also see the temperature of the battery.
Below the input information, you’re free to see detailed information about all the output ports.
Its great to be able to view the battery information and more at a quick glance.
Just pop out that handle and go.
