I charged this battery with the sun!!
ua-cam.com/video/eq3bVJTh4cs/v-deo.html
At 2:30, you can see it says to use USB c 1 port for laptops. And the photo at the 9:18 mark, it shows the laptop connected to the bottom port, and the phone on the top port. Plus the bottom port has the laptop logo on it. I missed that while filming. You can charge your laptop at 60 watts and phone at 27 watts, for a combined total of 87 watts, if you connect them to the correct ports. I'll make a follow up video soon showing that!
Your joy at the light made me smile. Keep on creating and finding joy, brother 🙏🏻✨
When I saw this on Amazon, I wanted to get it. I knew I could rely on you to provide a video before I pull the trigger. Keep up the great videos!
Appreciate that Michael. Thanks for the kind words!! I have tomorrow off and will make a follow up video.
I had my laptop connected to the wrong port!
I just posted a new video showing my laptop charging at 60 and something else charging at 27, for a total of 90!

NEW Anker 548 Video: ua-cam.com/video/nJVPjchJzd4/v-deo.html
Just got this as a refurb. Thanks for the video especially since my refurb unit came without a manual/instructions.
Very informative video 👍🏽
during a power outage or a long road trip, or if you do any camping/hiking, this thing can charge one device so many times. Can charge a steam deck oled three full times, and laptop, and so much more. I don't use it every day (since I have a ton of power banks), but when I need it, it's always there for me.
Very extensive review/ testing. Thank you!
I think this one is better. ua-cam.com/video/nJVPjchJzd4/v-deo.html
Is Anker using a digital NUMBER display??? What!!! This is sick love it
exactly! I'm such a friggin nerd and it just feeds that inner nerd when I NUMBERS!!! lol
Such a cool device. Weird that it doesn’t fast charge. Also would be cool to see a 12volt adapter with it having some decent watt hours. Love the lantern top. The rugged case and the form factor is very cool. Great video.
ua-cam.com/video/kJn5SuvjwGk/v-deo.html
It does have fast charge, usb c output is 60 watts good for laptops and great for phones since they only use 30 watts for fast charging. Also charges at 60 watts
Really good review, thank you for your in depth review
Much appreciated. Check out the video I posted yesterday, charging this guy with solar.
Thanks Josh - great channel - good reviews. I just got my car camera / player / everything item. I am ecstatic with it - THANX to YOU !👍👍👍💫💫💫💫💫
Great to hear!
The coolest thing is it is LiFePO4 so it has more charge cycles and is safer !
Haven't been to this channel in years I thought you were dead 😆...Great video
Ha. That would be nice and the world would be better off… but nope!! Still here for now.
@@wwjoshdew 😳
Good stuff right there from you and the wife helping out her co worker. Good job brother!
Perfect for 1-2 day car camping trips.
Yessir!!
Great vid! I'm buying one now 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
ua-cam.com/video/kJn5SuvjwGk/v-deo.html
It does look like a neat unit, surprise they did not fit a 12v socket on it.
I would use this with a solar panel connected to charge the smaller Anker battery banks. But then to charge all the Anker battery banks you own and use you might want another one to work along side this.
Re a solar panel to use with it get a rigid panel if using at home, you will get a far better panel output wise for less. Just keep it within the VOC (open circuit voltage) specs of the 548.
Hey! Love your videos and you have provided the most real world tests on the anker 548 from all of the youtube videos on the topic.
I am thinking about buying this for festival use. How many times would you say the anker charges your phone (which phone). Do you think it would be sufficient for 4 people over 2-3 nights ?
Thanks ! and keep up the good content!
Absolutely. It charges a freaking Steam Deck OLED three full times and it has a huge battery. I'd say it would charge a few phones a few times.
Thank you for the video sir, I'm new to this world of batteries and solar powered stuff. I need something to charge a couple BaoFeng UV-5R radios, rechargeable batteries AA, CR123s, ect, a couple of rechargeable head lamps as well and not all at the time time. Would you recommend this for that task?
Received mine yesterday. I love the form factor, handy carrying strap, light green color and built in LED lamp. I love everything about this bad boy EXCEPT it doesn’t ship with a USB-C charger.
Check this out: ua-cam.com/video/kJn5SuvjwGk/v-deo.html
It took from 11:50pm to 4:25am to go from FULLY DRAINED (absolutely nothing left) to 100 percent FULLY charged. But it lasts hella long too! Fully charges my macbook pro TWICE (from zero to 100 percent) with some to spare on the 548. Love this thing!!
Weird maybe the updated ones do, i recently got one and it comes with a usb c cable.
Nice review. Very cool multimeter cable.
It sure is. I made a video on it.
Nice video very helpful. This would be perfect if it could do 100 watt input charge. The Quick Start Guide on Anker website interestingly enough shows on LCD Input: 99W. So can this do 99W on charge? What are your thoughts?
Ive been looking for battery bank with Ac plugs and super fast charge. Do you know some battery bank out there??? Thanks
Great video- I am a new sub.
I'm a battery nerd also and an Anker addict! Just got my 548 Power Bank a few days ago and love it. Have you looked into a solar panel being able to charge it? I went down to my local Harbor Freight and bought a 100 Watt solar panel, then ordered a XT60 connector cable from Amazon. My goal is to eventually be able to charge all of my cordless tools via solar. The Anker 548 powers my phone, tablet and laptop and will use it to charge all of my video/cameras when away from home.
I just subscribe to your channel and have been watching some of your videos, very good content! I haven't been doing much with my channel but hopefully will be adding more content very soon.
Keep up your great work.

I don't have the money right now to buy the solar panel. But it's a very high priority for me!! I'll test as soon as I can.
You'd think they'd allow at least 140w charging in both directions considering the size of the battery. If this battery could do full speed charging from each of it's ports simultaneously it would be an automatic buy for me
I was about to get the 140w but that 192w is better I'm going to get that soon can't wait 😁 I'm also battery nerd
Such a good product ! Great video man ! Id love a video on the powerhouse 90 😎 btw did you catch their latest live event ? They have an updated 737 coming that’s 250 watts 🤣can’t get any better than that
I saw that!! And there is a video in (I think Japanese) that shows a 533!! Two usb c and one usb a. It’s a small package too.
Here you go! ua-cam.com/video/E_lJZGUDbxY/v-deo.html 6 minutes into that, they show the 533!!
Hi! wwjoshdew that Power Bank 40000mah that you showed there. Does that one make a little sound when you connect any device or when you have it plug in? I have one but I'm trying to see if it's normal or not. You have to put you ear near by to hear it.
Odd there's no AC. They used to do a big flat dictionary-sized powerbank with a 100w inverter.
Passthrough, nice! (Makes sense given solar). My intention was to have this in a storm shelter with it plugged in, and chain phones off of it.
It was on the tip of your tongue, LiFePO4. LFP or Lithium Iron Phosphate. Yeah, the weight difference compared to its NMC counterpart for the same mAh capacity is quite noticeable. Looking at the specs, this thing is definitely no slouch potato. You can just about throw just about any electronic device short from a kitchen sink at it. Sure it doesn't have an AC power inverter in it, but a compromise that I can live with and the pop up light is nice useful added utility touch for a camp or to light up a room in a grid outage.
Now, I got to go buy one. Thanks for enabling my power bank addiction. :-P...
Thanks for clarifying. And you’re welcome. 😂 sorry not sorry. Lol
I have a 256wh Anker solar generator, and a few cheap 222wh ones with normal Li-Ion, the weight and size difference is crazy. But I know which one I trust to charge safely when I'm out!
Does USB-C1 give 60W solo with nothing connected to USB-C2?
At that size it needs; 240W Power Delivery (max total output / input 240W) Solar charger 60W max? 😅
0:42 you are the battery nurd # 1 however the # 2 person in UA-cam is not much far from you and I guess I’m within the top 100 of battery lover
I love the power banks and batteries too.
Ordered Anker prime 12k and Anker 533 a week ago.
And i have the huge baseus power bank collection.
Also, i got fnirsi fnb 48 usb tester, so i learned a lot about the power banks in the 2023
How is it 60,000mAh if it's rated at 16 volts DC & 192Wh? Wouldn't that make it 12,000mAh? (Wh)*1000/(V) is the formula to convert Wh to mAh so? Help!
That lamp on top is actually brighter if you pulled it up all the way.
Try review the uvc bold 2 power bank ... You will be really impress
So.... I get a crap ton of emails. Most of the time I'm at work and just glance real quick, and move on. I just googled that power bank, and it looks friggin sick!! So I emailed them. THEN I searched my emails and sure enough, they had emailed me on Jan 10th of this year. So I just responded and confirmed my interest. Thanks for the heads up!!
So does anyone have an Rog Ally and use this? I just bought it and tried my 240w cable and it keeps giving me notice that it's slow charging and I can't reach higher than 25w on Ally. I use the same cable with my Anker 737 and get turbo mode. Why?
How do they get 60,000mAh if at its lowest output its a 38400mAh I'm just curious on it. Still a awesome power bank either way and not bad priced.

Is this that portable thermonuclear device everyone talking about?
Just purchased mine and found out that the solar input on this is not compatible with any of Anker’s solar panels. The panel has to be rated under 24 volts for it to work. Anker really missed the mark not making this compatible with their own panels.
I got a comment from someone else saying that, which saved me 329 dollars plus tax. They messaged Anker and the response they got was that Anker is aware and will be releasing a new version that is compatible. So I just might be returning my 548 because I was really looking forward to solar charging!! Then buy the updated 548 when it’s released. Or complain and be sent the new version. Because that’s unacceptable.
@@wwjoshdew Any solar panel, not just Anker ones, that has an Open Circuit Voltage between 10-24V should work with the 548. However because of that 3A limit, any solar panel with less than 20V power output will not get you the full 60W solar input.
According to Solar Power Supply, the Anker 100W solar panel has an Open Circuit Voltage of 26.5V, which explains why it doesn’t work with the 548- it’s voltage limit is too low.
EcoFlow’s 110W solar panel is not just cheaper, it also has an OCV that is under 24V, meaning it should work with the 548W. However because of that 3A limit on the 548, and the 18.4V output voltage of the EcoFlow panel under load, you may not get the full 60W solar input.
EcoFlow’s 60W panel may work as well due to it’s 24.5V OCV, and since voltage goes down as amperage goes up, this panel would be the best candidate for solar charging the 548, assuming the 548 is comfortable with 500mV extra voltage. That said, this solar panel’s compatibility with the 548 is a big IF.
Sweet, definitely going to order this bad boy!
Damn Hurricane Hilary and I wish I had this. My laptop battery is dead and I have to keep it plugged in. Sucks.
Sorry to hear that. This thing is big enough to charge my laptop from completely dead to 100 percent twice with a bit left in it.
Anker Power Banker 👍
Pls review Ambrane 50000 mah power bank from India. Im using it its really good at performance.
wow... this beast can charge your car
The bottom says 12,000 mAh at 16 volts. Which would get you 192 wh. Amps X volts = watts not sure where they are getting 60,000 from. If you could do a load test on it and see what it actually has.
Looks like that would be at 3.2 volts. Like you said, that doesn't make much sense as most phone voltages are about 3.7 to 3.89.
@@Chidoro41 yeah it just seems strange. I thought at first 60k is kinda low for the size but then seeing the bottom saying only 12k. It's kinda pricey as I have a powerness hiker U300 which is 296 wh and was only $175 total.
@@codywest7210 look at the bottom again. You’ll see a 12000, 4000, and 34000 in the 2nd and 3rd line. I’m assuming they are adding those numbers to get the 60k.
@@wwjoshdew ok what you are seeing is the cells are 4000 mAh at 15 pieces or batteries. Multiply in those two gets you the 60k mAh. What is throwing us off it they are saying 12k at 16volts. If you multiply 12 by 5 you get 60 mAh. Then divide 16 by 5 you get 3.2 volts. Which they don't have listed. Most 18650 batteries are 3.7 volts. At 4000 mAh it would be 222wh. I have no idea what the 34000mah is about. Not sure if you have them but I would do a load test on the DC and an ac test when charging it and see what exactly is going on.
Imo we should stop looking at mAh. Devices don't charge at same volts anymore. Watt hours should be the way to go. But yeah I was confused too about the 60k mAh
when do you use all of these batteries? lots of Camping??
I’m a UA-cam guy. I enjoy making these videos and make a little extra cash doing it. It’s fun. I do not need all the power banks I have. I do have too many. But they are for videos and comparisons.
@@wwjoshdew cool cool. I have a few and never use them and was just wondering if there were more situations I should be using them in. haha I guess being away from power is not common in my area but probably better for other folks . Thanks!
Is there MPPT controller for solar charger?
I can’t answer that. I don’t know. :(
Get a usb light of .5 watt draw. That light takes to many watts
Does it have cooling fans inside the vents or is it fanless?
No fan that i can hear. I don’t think so. And I was drawing 87 watts out of it today.
@@wwjoshdew thanks alot. I live in a dusty environments so i was concerned about dust building up. Right now i can get a discount to $120 with a coupon. Do you think it makes sense at this price or wait for the potential update with solar panel compatibility?
It's a good unit, however, I prefer the one skinnier one that puts out more power. Don't need the light. I charge my laptop at full speed, my Galaxy 22 at full speed. With the skinnier one I can charge it at 100 watts, dead to full in an hour.
I got mine during the Amazon prime deals day. I was really disappointed with the Anker 548 after doing some tests. I tried it with :
Samsung S22 ultra
Samsung Tab S8 ultra
iPad Pro m2
iPhone 14 Pro max
I was getting only 15w of output and sometiems it drops to 8w by itself
Yeah. Samsung devices will be limited to 15 watts. Check out my latest video!! I was going through a power outage and this 548 saved the day!!
Samsung uses PD PPS to charge at 25W and 45W. So you would only get 15W from this
Hey!
Could I ask what speeds would you get one the Ipad and Iphone? Also how many charges would you get ? Thinking of buying it, but am not sure if size is sufficient. Thanks!
Can you recommend a solar panel for this? Thx.
Not yet. But I’m on the lookout!
@@wwjoshdewdid you ever find any?
@@Suggestedbabies ua-cam.com/video/eq3bVJTh4cs/v-deo.htmlsi=bE8kjSxT4erK05l5
I like the retro look of it!
Same! I didn’t even realize that until you mentioned it.
The bottom of the unit says 12,000mAh? But it’s advertised as 60,000
Only con for me is that TSA ✈️ probably won't let me board with this battery 😢
More than likely not. I'm not an expert, but I think it's gotta be under 100 or get approval if it's over that.
@@wwjoshdew You can only get approval up to 160Wh, above that you absolutely cannot take it on a plane
@@TheStopwatchGodthey definitely need to make a tsa compliant unit
This is probably only good for camping/picnic. 👍🏼
@@DavidKaunang It’s great for any trip that doesn’t take to the skies
Bit disappointing why it didn’t do the 60 & 20?, first vid on UA-cam though 🎉
Josh plugged the devices into the wrong ports, seeing as the MacBook was getting 27W, it's certain the phone was plugged into the 60W port
@@TheStopwatchGod oh shoot!! Good catch my man!! I’m at work, but I’ll definitely test that when I get off. The demo photo does show the laptop plugged into the bottom port in the photo that I added inside this video at 9:19. I’ll be posting a follow up anyways. Thanks for catching that!
So curious about the real capacity
check out the comment I pinned on my newer video of this! You'll find the real capacity. I showed in the video how much Wh my laptop used to go from 0 to 100, and how much was left. Then a kind person did the math for us all. ua-cam.com/video/nJVPjchJzd4/v-deo.html
Cool and all but for the size they could have included proper PPS support. Also Anker is trying to be premium by charging premium prices but their website is still absolutely useless, half of their product listings don't even have a proper spec sheet or a table for input/output voltages. Very disappointing. Their products lately seem pretty half-baked but they slap some LCD screen on it and charge double of what its worth.
ua-cam.com/video/kJn5SuvjwGk/v-deo.html
josh bro do one root video for old time sake.. i know you seen my comments over the years...
i was hoping the XT60 plug would be a DC output
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
does it have a fan inside it
not that I know of. it's been silent and not made a sound.
Just note that it does not work with Ankers own solar panels though (despite the connector) - its gives a circuit protection error). Anker confirmed, so dont buy if your looking to solar charge using anker panels..
Oh shoot!! Thanks for saving me 320 dollars!!
@@wwjoshdew It was a painful realisation - how they can make a power bank that does not charge with their solar panels is beyond me...
@@AndrewHudsonSmith Their 60 watt 9-panel folding panel doesn't charge my Powerhouse 400, apparently it only charges the original powerhouse. No wonder it was cheap. Some of their other sogens have really wierd voltage ranges, locking users into to Anker's own panels instead of generic flex / breifcase ones. Bluetti for me!
I'm using the XT60 solar imput to charge the 548 with a Poyiccot USB C to XT60 Adapter Cable right now. Charging at 60 watts no problem, so I confirm that the solar imput does work. Might be your solar panels?
The way I plan to charge this power bank is, indirectly via solar panels connected to a solar generator, then have the power bank connected to the generator via the XT60/USB cable.
No AC on this. At that price point Anker really missed the mark on this one.
My exact thoughts. I’d buy this in a heartbeat if there was AC
What would you run on AC with 150 wh of battery power? They removed AC to keep it compact and efficient.
USB C is powerful
I don’t think it was a miss. This falls in line price wise for the Wh/mAH. And I can see a ton of uses for this… but I’m kinda bias (I already have the 757, and the old Powerhouse 400 and 200.)
Word. 😕
nice
Thanks
@@wwjoshdew i do like ur videos
👍
thanks bro!
there are too few USB-C ports on this thing. Would be perfect if they replace those 2 USB-A ports with USB-C.
Agreed
mAh = milliampere hour
Only works with 60 watt solar. Can't use their 100
I just bought a solar panel that will be here Wednesday. I know it won't charge at 100 watts. I said that in this video.
The Anker 548 no longer has LiFePo4 cells.
Wrong. It does.
@@crawdaddyy mine says lithium ion on the bottom plus I contacted anker support and they told me they switched to regular lithium ion
Is a bit neah.....missed 100w output opportunity.
Agreed. But 60 works for me. Charge my laptop at 60 watts and my phone at 27 at the same time? Yes please.
I have a similar Chinese version of this for £65 ,I opened it up ,it did have x3 20,000 mah batteries ,the thing to remember is to give it a full 16 hour charge when you get it ,slow charge if possible ,don't believe I've used it enough yet to see the best out of it
whats the name of the chinese version
Who knows how many phone charges it really offers??
That is definitely a "unit".
Definitely not what she said. But it works. Oh, we’re talking about the power bank. Never mind! Lmao

Anker 737 Powerbank support PPS
Anker 548 PowerReserve doesn't support PPS
why Anker?? 😂😂
that's why I said it has it's cons at the end. Doesn't make sense. But I still love it!!
*Promo sm*
my powerbank does better with the light but only 30,000mah capacity the flash light on my powerbank last 165-168 hours or 1 week from 100%
60w Input is pathetic. The 4 year old 747 had 100w Input.
They lie on the fast charging
No fast charge = no thanks.
It has fast charging. What are you talking about?
And You Can't Take on the Airplane
nope. but they do have batteries that you CAN take on an airplane. and I've made videos on them!! just search "anker wwjoshdew" on youtube.
Hell No !
huh?
Made in China.....
Let that sink in....
Anker are a terible company. Ther 737 power bank has a common problem glitch temperature displays -40 temp rurning it into a door stop. This new lump can only charge at 60w pd3.0 max 20v 5a. Thers better power banks running the newer pd3.1 28v 5a at better price compared to rip off w anker speaking from experience. 👍

That comment that you made about your homeless friend, completely threw me off and had nothing to do with the review. That was so random?
She was using our 3rd bedroom, which I use for an office. That office has my desktop that I use to edit videos and my lights/camera for recording videos. So it was very difficult to find time to film and edit videos. Now she's gone and I have my office back. That's what I was saying. Things will go back to normal.
