- The Anker Powerhouse lives up to its name: with 120,000 mAh/400 Wh of theoretical capacity, it's nine pounds of pure aluminum-clad power. When we talk about battery banks, normally we mean the kind of battery you slip in your pocket to power your Pokemon hunt. This ... is not one of those. Join MrMobile for the Anker Powerhouse review!

[ABOUT THIS REVIEW]
This video was published after four days with an Anker Powerhouse review device, on loan from Anker. This was enough time for one charge/discharge/charge cycle, during which the Powerhouse was used to charge a MacBook Pro Retina 15, Galaxy Note 7, Moto Z, and an undisclosed mobile device.

This should've included a USB Type-C charger, since a lot of laptops support that now and that would be more efficient than converting from DC to AC to DC again, through the wall charger.
Y'know I'm so glad you're talking about this and not the Note 7. Everyone else is still doing the Note 7 vs the Note 5; the Note 7 vs the S7 and S7 Edge; the Note 7 drop test; the Note 7 camera review, the Note 7 add nausium, it's disgusting. I'm just so glad you're not doing all of that shit, and you've moved on from the Note fuckin' 7, and you're getting on with the business of doing tech reviews. Good on you man... This is one of the reasons why I remain a subscribed fan.
Lol you probably don't have one or can't afford one.
I agree
AVA4444 I'm certainly not a rich man but I can afford one, I used to have the Note 2, Note 3 and Note 4. I was a genuine fan, they're brilliant phones, the best of the best, and at one time the only phone I wanted to use. I just prefer the S7 Edge, which is what I use these days (also have an iPhone 6 plus, and Moto X Force). I just can't believe the coverage the Note 7 is getting, Pocketnow for instance, Michael Fisher's old employer, are just doing oodles of videos on it, just about every UA-cam tech talking head won't shut up about it... I just think there are other techie things to talk about, thankfully so does Mr. Mobile. The Note 7 is no doubt the best phone around right now, and if I owned one I'm sure I'd be as pleased as punch, but we get the message, enough already, let's talk tech again...
Nah, it's not that. I can afford one. But it is annoying, all those videos and 100 times the same thing. AND even ads are including Jon from TLD with Note 7. This world has gone mad! =D
I got myself a week or so ago the S7 Edge, too. Very good phone, and I enjoy using it. I have iPhone 6S Plus as my second phone, which I like for different reasons. I watched Note 7 videos, made the decision towards S7 Edge, and I am done with it. But those constant uploads of the same videos are annoying.
Charging a note 7 on this is like charging a bomb on a bomb
Cam Jinx 1st reply idk why it’s me
Charge a Note 7 on the powerhouse while charging it through 2 socket squids plugged into eachother.
Good gravy that's a big battery, i could power my house with that!
Okay maybe not but it's a big battery!
I'm glad to see a reviewer considered the charging efficiency matter finally
Damn, that shot with you and the Surface Pro is superb!
Yes. Very different. He liked it so much , he used it twice :)
I can see how this would be great for emergency power during storms and power outages. Pair it with some rechargeable flashlights and a radio and you'd be good to go. Or better yet, they should make a version with a built-in weather radio and lantern.
And I thought the 50,000 mAh battery you showed was huge!
30,000 mAh, but still, freaking huge!
+Sky Of Melee Hell Thought exactly the same
*skyartlerist* *D* same
how ....just how do you manage to do so brilliantly qualitative videos!😊👍
Thanks for doing reviews with a variety of different gadgets. This is very cool and unique compared to other UA-cam channels.
Best review of this device that I've seen yet! Thanx aplenty!
Great video as always! That's a mighty fine power pack, though it doesn't exactly scream Mobile. Also, I think your videos were the first ones I saw those Polar Seltzer bottles. And the only ones. 'Ya must reaaaallly like them. Addicting stuff from where I'm standing.
this is what i need!
~33,000Wh in a gallon of gasoline, 400Wh in this thing... You've almost certainly held more potential energy in your hand before. Just sayin'
The energy that makes up the matter in your hands could probably power your laptop for several lifetimes. Your hands have more power than you've held in your hands.
Also a sandwich is around 450Wh. You have certainly held more potential energy in one hand. But unless you carry a bike-generator with you there is no easy was of converting that sandwich to electrical energy.
Great video! So happy when I saw you had a video on this! I'd love a review on the Goal Zero Yeti 400 which is my current target as I need more output than 160w.
Just buy a battery box a deep cycle marine battery an a inverter and your done. That's what I do, I use it to power my telescope mount and accessories in the field. Works like a dream, more power and every component is replaceable.. You can also build on that premise, like adding a usb charging array and so on..
Just get a generator at this point, I like how these companies overcharge for fancy packaging.
Yes but accualy know try walking for 2 days with a generator and gas on your back
At 5:06 I see an S7 Active like the one I'm using to view this...I knew I was dealing with a fellow practical man.
Just found this channel over UA-cam add. Love the content and honesty in reviews. Subscribed!
ingenious device. The only thing I worry about is that the batteries are not replaceable.
Great video as always Michael ! And that couch drop at 0:39 tho 😁
1:40 "I plugged in my Note 7 review device..." *plugs in a Oneplus 3 cable* :D
* Phone Explodes *
As a truck driver, this would be good for running my Dometic fridge on. Charges while the truck is on and takes load off the truck batts when it's off.
I absolutely love the intro music! Did you make it yourself?
0:06 "Get outta my way little b*tches. Grand daddy is here"
Didn't know I needed a Borg Cube mini fridge until today...
Have to admit, the industrial design of this product is astounding compared to the competition that costs significantly more sometimes.
I love these videos. Just tech in general, well mobile tech lol great work mr. Fisher!! Keep them coming
that mini fridge was awesome looking
So awesome how I have zero interest in that monster but loved this review so much. You do great work. Keep it up!
I am definitely getting that for sure. It would be good for off the grid and charging multiple devices at once. I love it
3:07 This !!! Well done Michael, nice review.
So
120,000 mAh = 2 hours of smartphone charging
4 hours of laptop usage
I expected more from a 120,000 mAh battery.
Well, I would not call video editing normal laptop usage
Mind that this is battery charging battery, those mAh don't corespond 1 to 1 for your laptop/smartphone battery cappacity.
2h of GPS navigation + 4h video editing and web browsing
I bought a 20,000 mAh charger for $30. 6 of those is the same as the power house. That adds up to $180. The power house is $500
+Santas Cousin Your charger is 5 volts. The PowerHouse is up to 120 volts, just like the sockets in your home. Very big difference.
Also, mind if I ask which charger you got? :)
Everything aside, this is the best tech review channel!
Really nice to see your gains. Hope you reach 1 mil within a year or two.
Hello,
I was just wandering if you could do a Microsoft Surface Book review because there aren't too many still out and I am planning to purchase a new laptop at the end of this year for school and would love to see a review of the Surface Book from you.
Love your videos, keep up the epic work
subscribed....to the point review with all points adequately covered.
I like the way mr mobile put his shit together you are a star and I will never stop watching you shut out from Jamaica
Star Trek Reference Counter: 2!
Polar Seltzer Reference Counter: broken
+Michael Kukielka really? i can't believe i missed them I love star trek 😫would you enlighten me.Ps: I'm a subscriber to your channel as well and still waiting for that half hour review of the Note 7 😂
There is the Borg Cube Fridge and at the end he makes a reference to Dr. McCoy "Battery not a Miracle Worker".
+DetroitBORG yep. you're right.that's... embarrassing.I shouldn't brag about being a star trek fan anymore 😅
"It's a battery, not a miracle worker"
How very Bones of you to say ^^
It would probably be much easier to use some car batteries with an inverter and stuff on it. I have a Stanley pack meant to jump a car and charge phones and provide light. I just hooked an inverter onto the alligator clips. it's under $100 altogether. and i think it could easily benefit from a lighter socket on it, which should be easy, since it's just a normal lead acid battery. it even has it's own charging circuit.
For some reason, I really love these two battery videos, am I wierd?
I'd probably buy one. It seems like a good investment for emergency power. The only problem I have is that the battery cells don't last forever. I'd pay maximum $300 for that.
Can you review the omnicharge power bank? You really make awesome videos!
Very professionnal reviewer 2thumbs up👍👍
Great, now I want a Borg Cube Mini Fridge.
I literally just built a setup that has 2x the capacity of this battery and it cost 400$. It is made of 4 batteries connected in parallel and series (its complicated but it works, i've tested it).
Thumbs up simply for the borg cube fridge!!!
This thing is crazy. Great video as usual!
Just saw this thing in "Popular Science", they also had the clothing you reviewed in there in one of their lists.
Videos like this make me geek, excellent editing.
Honestly buy yourself a booster pack l, the same you would use for a car, and get yourself an inverter. That's it, more power for longer because it's meant to jump a car 10+ times. I don't have the specs but I've been doing this for about a year and have no complaint camping, or when power goes out.
You can buy about 7 anker powerbanks with 20000 amh for this price and this will be better so you can use them more easy but the bad thing is that you don't have this variety of charge ports.
Great video and great product. Always impressed by the range of products by Anker
this is great for someone living in there van, but that goes to work each day or two and can charge it back up, this could run your laptop for a bit, keep your phone charged and power a bunch of led lights in your van,
You and Flossy Carter are the only TechReviewers on UA-cam that don't get annoying over time by acquiring a pretentious narration style (RIP Juan Carlos Bagnell). I find that super unpleasant to listen to. Keep it up Michael, your videos and your delivery are spotless!
Battery charging? Check. Impromptu free weight for workouts? Check. People asking if they can charge off you?
TRIPLE CHECK.
why am i on my 5th mr mobile video today? This shit agrees with me.. Some of the sickest gadgets ever u jammy sausage
Note 7? And you're still alive? nice!
Buy a 125 hour Amp Hour deep cycle Marine battery for $120, $30 battery charger-maintainer, and a $30 300 watt power inverter. You will get at least 4 times the power for a lot cheaper.
Quality review as always.
Thanks!
Anker is one of the few companies making LiIon based battery products, whose spec's seem mostly honest in my experience as an engineer who views videos like this as sloppy on details. I note from the pictures that this is a 4 series by 9 parallel configuration of 36 solder tab style 18650 cells, which are readily replaceable by anyone with standard electronics tools (no air soldering or robotic pics required, or spot welding), but would cost over $100 for the parts using any quality brand.
That also means the cells are rated around 3300 mAH, which is credible, unlike dishonest brands. Calling this 120k mAH uses the common fraud of the sum of cell ratings, in a series-parallel circuit where the real AH capacity is just the parallel elements, while the series ones boost voltage (IOW, 14.8 VDC, 29 AH actual). In a smaller Anker pack I have, I find the IQ circuit actually works as described, and is not just marketing hype.
Compare this unit to car booster unsafe spec fraud packs. Many of those with 84% less real capacity claim outputs 6 times higher than this unit, for $40-80. No wonder those catch fire, explode, or shut down in 3-10 seconds. But, mostly honest spec's and safe designs do come at a price. There's also the issue that cells can never discharge 100%, and cycle life is degraded faster if they're deeply discharged repeatedly.... but at least this unit has the appearance of being good for the claimed purposes with real spec's, even if that normal fine print is absent.
Unlike many Amazon reviewers, I paid cash (albeit on sales and promo's often) for any product I've inspected, often by opening cases, researching component markings, and using electronic test equipment typical of electronics engineering.
Excellent review, you could buy a small generator for what they are charging for this battery though.
Wow, honestly I didn't even know this kind of powerbank existed lol. Looks pretty awesome. I just recently bought a Choetech 15,600 mAh powerbank that supports QC 2.0 and I couldn't be happier. More than enough for me lol.
As always great video Mr. Mobile keep them coming :)
Did you use Final Cut Pro for the section where you had the text pop up on the table underneath the item on an angle? What add on was that?
Not a bad product, all things considered. But they make computer battery backups, for home use. They are called UPS's, and they stand for UN-interaptable Power Supply 's. They are sold at most stores, for much less then this one is. Of course, they aren't as portable.
I'd like to see something like this, but removing the "middleman" so to speak, removing the need of an internal 120v inverter altogether. Of course, that would require you to know the output voltage and current of your device, but it would drastically increase efficiency.
If you want a huge heavy brick like this, just get a deep cycle marine battery, a trickle charger for it, and an inverter. It probably isn't even a pure sine inverter since they don't advertise that it is. Bottom line is that you can recreate everything this does for well under $100. Lithium Ion batteries are not even remotely cost competitive with lead acid batteries for this kind of an application where weight and size are largely irrelevant.
"Undisclosed mobile device" . xD
Interesting. One of the few that come to mind is V20. :)
As for the battery, a good friend of mine made fun of me for getting a 10.000 mAh one, and joked that it's too small, and that i should've gotten a bigger one. lol Let's see his reaction when i send him this video. :D
Hey, someone reads the description! :)
@TheManiac077
Wouldn't be too surprising if that actually came true and the fact that he responded makes the suspense even stronger! 📱
10,000mah is the perfect pocket size... I have a 20,000 and its a bit chunky for daily carry.
I beg to differ on the longevity of the battery during the course of one day.
Cant run a microwave? The powerhouse ran my WHOLE DJ SET!
That being 2 turntables, Mixer, and speakers! total of 5 plugs running through ONE surge protector!
Started Powerhouse at 100 percent full battery ran whole set up for 5 hours straight! battery percentage remaining was 56 PERCENT!!!
This thing could run my whole set for probably 8 hours PLUS! if it wanted to!
I totally RECOMMEND the ANKER POWERHOUSE!
Amazing thanks for the info was wondering in relation to a mobile dj set up
I notice you are using a desk that I haven't seen in a long time. A "Mayfair Steamer Trunk Secretary," took me some time to find the name, I was interested in it for making my own mobile office. What are your thoughts on it? Have a good one.
+Bastien Auxer it's an amazing-looking desk and has tons of drawers for storage, as you can see. I adore it personally ... but it's so pricey you basically need to be okay paying a premium for style.
I like your green & grey hexagon wall art. Did you make those are buy them?
Thanks!
New handle, Mr. Mobile Physicist!
What do you mean this is not the power bank that you can slip in your pocket? I have HUUUUGE pockets!
JK LOL
i like that intro were your in your computer
i don't really comment on reviews but dude you just remind me brian cooley from Cnet very clear and knowledgeable.. subbed!
Love the videos man! Keep them coming!
killer graphics on your videos!
Great video Michael! I love your videos keep up the great work!
Man, I love those SMOOOOOTH slider shots!
now that's solved all of my Camping problems! thanks Mike.
cool for most but
its more affordable
to make a solar power generator with the exact
components for around
hundred bucks : )
$400 is alot for
a battery pack unit : )
awesome video
This guy, 'keeps your devices a full work day'
Also this guy '4 hours with my laptop and phone'
Me: works 12 hours on average...
If this is targeted for people who go camping etc it has some good potential. It does have its flaws though it's not ruggedized and it has no IP protection from water. However it maybe useful if there is an energy out in your house.
I was like, "wow 120,000 Mega Ah" like the thumbnail says. Then I realized you just capitalized the title which made it wrong :-P
Man great video 😁
Hi Mr Fisher, I didn't know you were still reviewing, I thought you went radio silent. The Pocket now Reviews aren't the same without your voice. I dunno what it is, it's just not as pleasant to listen to. Guess I'll crash here instead :P
Only sold in the US, glad I found out about this before I bought any of the Anker products in my cart, never support any region-exclusive peddlers.
good review Mrs mobile.
Indeed the biggest portable pack for smartphones I've ever seen.
This 120,000mAh rating is borderline false advertising and annoys me how well it fools customers. As someone who has actually built a homemade version of what this is (see my channel if you're interested in that), it annoys me how people see this as 120,000mAh.
It says right on the back of the unit the nominal capacity. 434Wh / 14.4v = 30.14AH or about 30,140mAh. The ONLY way you can say this is a 120,000mAh or 120Ah battery is to take the voltage of the individual cells within the unit and count that as the nominal voltage. However, it would be incorrect to do it that way. This is a 14.4v battery unit, not a 3.7v battery. The rating should be listed at about 30Ah or 30,000mAh of capacity.
This is big man .... Im happy that my job is big enough!
they need to market this to 3rd world nation where electricity can be down without notice for hour or even days.. where constant threat of violence uprising is on the edge.. this will be a necessary item for amature preppers..
cause poor third world countries have 500 bucks plus massive shipping costs.
there are rich people in 3rd world country..
yes they are called dictators
hahahaaaa
M Jave ur the only person that thinks that bud
Hmph.. I do travel quite often. Thanks for your candid review. ^_^
I know it wasn't immediately possible using the power bank but do you usually work solely off the MacBook in the office/home? No external monitor or peripherals?
Is this worth the money and how much charges can this take to charge an iPad Air 2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 7 from 20%-100%? So, the powerhouse powerbank starting from 100% charge till it dies or gets really low?
I always say 60% of the capacity is what you will really get out of anything.. so 120,000 Mah slash it down to 60% so realistically you get 72,000 Mah. (could be more but just doing my 60% thing it's not scientific here) so iPad air 2 has 7,300 Mah battery and note 7 has 3,500 let's say 10,800 Mah between the two, you can charge them from 0 to 100% maybe together 6 .5 so it's really good. (once again this is not accurate, just guessing and from past experience with power banks)
+junglemage666 Thank you, if you see a giveaway on this, please let me know.... Lol anyways, just wondering if it's good for the price or which do you recommend for the best power bank for the price?
Lol you can stay in a pokestop for a week with these monster PB. 😆
The Inergy Kodiak Walks all over this!
What is track that you use to start your videos. Please leave a link if possible. I have tried to find it, but with no luck.
Or you could build your own for a little over $100 bucks, and have a solar panel and charge controller for $235 or so.
A power bank with solar charging would be a great idea, since you mentioned this could be used in natural disasters etc
