Thanks man! This is the best comparisonš Good luckā
What about the Anker PowerCore III Elite, recommended by Nikon. I don’t see it listed on the Anker website.
I’m confused, I want the small one because it is easy to carry up with, but also I want the big one because it’s give me more chargingš„²
Really helpful!
I bought all of them
I got a 737 open box for 40 buck at best buy. 0 power cycles and was brand new! Awesome steal
If you put your USB-C kinked cables (and any other cable) into some boiled water for a minute, the plastic cover will relax, and it will go smooth
Ignore the video. The prime 27,650 is better. The 100-watt charger is worth it considering that the in and out usb ports will have more traffic if you do decide to charge your power bank through the usbc ports. Those also lower the life expectations on those specific ports. Now charging it on the base from 0% to 100% takes an hour.
At times, i can get 3.5 100% charges on my smartphone. This means i can get about 14 hours worth of charge just from the power bank 27,650mah alone. Not counting the fact that my phone would have 4 hours of power while playing pokemon Go. An app known to drain batteries.
From 60% to 100 %, my phone takes 35 to 40 minutes to charge.
This video doesn’t specify anything that I mentioned lacks numbers and values. Cost wise, the anker prime 27,650 mah does cost more + the adapter, but at the same time, you get more out of it. The charger adapter alone makes the anker prime worth getting. I have a sit to stand desk with a lot of bells and whistles. The 100-watt adapter is worth it.
Power Banks are about portability.
Why didn’t you address that issue?
If you are using 737 for steamdeck. You can only use 1 full charge steam deck with a remaining 21-26% pbank capacity. Dont get fooled by mah.
Awesome Video I just got the 250 W to charge my Ipad 11 pro & pencil from zero % (dead battery) it took this anker prime 250 w (Time: 2:02) to fully charge them with a 62% left in the power bank.
Thank for your awesome review
What’s the price
I bought a 737 used online and it died within a couple weeks. Anker couldnāt help me because I didnāt have the original order number so I bought another one, this time brand new. It died within just one week. Anker is giving me a full refund. I wouldnāt recommend this power bank unless you are in for a bit of a gamble.
I got the Anker Prime 20K (200W) power bank for only $78
The 737 costs more and is just way too big and bulky for me. Iāve extremely happy with the Prime 20K
Any of them support pass-through charging?
Anker has the absolute worse privacy policy I have ever read. My version has a blutooth feature that helps you find your unit if lost. I downloaded the app. I dont usually read privacy policies but my spidey senses were tingling so i did this time. It basically sais that you have no privacy at all, they will access any and all data on your phone (without exception) and sell it to whoever they choose. So, i still love the battery unit and charger base, but I deleted the app without agreeing to anal probe.
A lot of people (like myself) have Samsung and other android based phones. So, you should not use language that suggest that the product, or certain features, will only work with iphones. you said "it will tell you how many times you can charge your iphone" is it true that this feature will not work with other phones? If it is true, you should make that clear. Consumers come to youtube for answers and you created doubt. Therefore i must thumbs down this video and any other video that I come across that denies the existence of any other phones that apple.
just commenting to mention if you own the 27k and have a charging adapter like the samsung 65w you can plug 2 usb c into it and effectively cut charge time in half.
Will these charge a All in one Desktop PC, in case we dont have Electricity āļø
Please let me know
Hi! Thanks for the great comparison. What about charging android phones (like samsung s24 etc.) or windows notebooks (lenovo ThinkPad x series) ? Will we get the same results? Or we can get these speed only for ios environment?
Did you happen to know the weights of the power banks? I want the largest one, but I’m not sure if it’s too heavy.
good video comparison. very insightful.
Ive got the 12000Mah small one. Love the super fast speed to charge it and for me its the only non-brick one that fits in a pocket or a bag without making a noticeable difference
Great video, thank you!
Would the Anker 737 charge the dell xps 15 9500?
They look plasticy. A lot of power banks have aluminium shells like the Promate Titan 130 & 160. Makes these devices look cheap even though they are way more expensive.
Your well articulated review got me to purchase a 12k refurbished! Thanks again
Well done! Thank you!
Great video! Subbed
price sky high. better to buy a good battery phone like Huawei or Xiami
thanks. wanted to buy the 250W but decided on 737. It is $89 on amazon oct. 8 deal vs. $144 for 250w.
Would I be able to take the larger power banks on a plane?
Did you charge the 737 and 250w to 100% on the battery or 100% on the screen (the 250w needs at least 20 extra minutes past the 100% on the screen to be 100% on the battery. Your results seem too close between the 737 and 250w (with 737 showing more battery than the 250w)
I have had the 737 for a year now and after 114 cycles the battery health is now at 5% and it dies more or less every time it reaches around 50%… Really made me consider if I should go Anker Prime 27K or another brand..?
Gotta get the best of the best always
I have question regarding the 737, does it support voc charging?
cuz i have one + open ā¦ i have heard that the prime 27650, supports voc charging
thanks for the detailed comparision
The rated capacity of the 250W Prime is really low in the case of the MBP charging, it delivered only 13800mAh. I guess a lot of power is lost with conversion
ā¤I just love your detailed review of all of these power bank and way of explaining the things
my phone is only charging at 14w on the prime am I doing something wrong? or certain setting I need to set?
I’ve had the same anker powerbank since 2011 and it doesn’t charge fast but the battery still holds. I’m a full anker customer. Love this brand and will follow them blindly š
Thanks for the details. I’m currently trying to compare the Anker options against the G-POWER GT19.
Best choice of all is the jackery 100. Cheers.
these all seem limited to 1.5 amps for 12v output
TO THE AUTHOR. I feel you left out one very important subject in your entire review. What kind of cable are you using? The supplied cable maxed out at 25 watt output. If you are using high speed cables wonāt your iPhone charge rating be completely different? Correct me if im wrong . I just bought the 27650mah. Now i need to buy a 140 watt charger with 2 usbc ports and high speed cables
They’re BRICKS !!
Hi great channel, I have a question in reference to this manufacturer. Do they charge by the portable solar panels 40. 60 watt etc.? I have looked for this kind of review and have yet to find one. I contacted Anker they gave me a vague answer here
Please note that we haven’t tested this powerbank or any of our other powerbanks with any solar panel, so we cannot assure you 100%. Generally, it is safe to charge our powerbank from any power source. Whether it’s a solar panel or wall charger, or any energy source, it may be able to charge the powerbank, but it will take a very long time as the solar panel’s power efficiency is not high.
Powerbank needs constant power to recharge itself, which your solar panel may or may not provide; you could ask their customer service. (depends on many factors)
If you or any reading this know of any such reviews, please refer. Thanks one and all
I bought the anger 200w 20000mah, how is it possible that the anger at 100% turns to 0% charging an iPad from 0% only up to 68%? I would love to understand how is it possible that a device with 20000mah turns to 0% charging a device with less than the 1/2 of this mAh, im totally disappointed, in the MacBook Pro m2 16" it only charges 20% more, this is hilarious for a device that is 100 euro
FYI – I see a lot of comments asking if these can be taken on a plane. Yes, all of these can be taken with you and the TSA specifically in the US wont be able to confiscate them since they all are under 100 Wh. Even the Anker 250W one is under 100 Wh.
Also consider that the 737, at least, goes on sale often for $100 (from $150)
how to charge them without a docking statioin?
