Love to see actual equipment-tested reviews instead of videos where "reviews" are based on what specs the product boxes list. Cheers!
Thank you for the support, it keeps videos like this possible!
you are the person to go to when there is a power outage
At least for a few hours, then all my batteries will be flat.
6:58 plug a usb cable into both ports!! Like, the same cable. Both ends into both ports. It resets the power bank.
I have lots of batterys too and we have solarpanels i made a cable and a converter so i can charge my battery back up if needed
@@AllThingsOnePlaceso could you tell me what power bank should i buy i need efficient,high quality ,longest period of life
USB A to C cable. If you see the power "trip" three times, it will then turn off until you unplug
@@wwjoshdew
I looked all over for actual reviews on this and finally struck gold, gonna sub, and go through your videos to find a decent power bank, looking to charge fairly small radio control aircraft batteries on the go and I want something that can actually provide constant power delivery. Thank you for all you do.
Thanks for watching! also glad to help!
What did you end up getting?
Great to see some actual testing on these, keep up the good work!
Thanks for helping support the channel!
Thanks so much for including the information on traveling with these powerbanks, makes the difference.
Glad it was helpful!
You are the guy I watch before buying any power bank or charger. You sum things up very efficiently my friends, thanks!
Thanks!
I'd really love to see an eventual video of all the power banks directly compared on if they can support a UPS-like operation.
It's not their primary use, true. But they look good as on-the-go external batteries for something like a sub 65w mini-PC. You're one of the only people that went over data crucially noting that some of the USB ports will reset if another port has a change.
Search for a "no break" power bank
Yeah, from what I've done the UGREEN and ZMI will stay on with a power cut, but you can draw more than you put in so caution is needed. I plan to put out a video on some of the purpose made low voltage UPS's at some point.
I had a zendure power bank that I used to power my google fiber fiber jack because it was powered by 5v and 2a. Then a charger charging the zendure.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Oh, I look forward to that!
Wow, glad I stumbled across your channel! Excellent science- and measurement-based reviews!
Thanks!
The analysis is very professional, I wish you better and better!👍
Thanks!
Absolutely incredible review/comparison! Can’t wait to see more of your videos. Subscribed. Thank you for doing this!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your honest review ❤some reviewers only point out company specifications not the actual performance 👍
No problem 👍
After watching your videos i bought 2 chargers and i will buy a power bank as well. You sir earned my sub. Thank you so much !!
Nice, thanks for watching!
A great review and thanks for taking the time, effort and money to make the vid. And a BIG thumbs up👍
Thanks for watching!
Great advice. I have the Anker and really enjoy the power it has.
Good to hear!
Wow! Thank you so much for this video! Learned so much today! That new marketing tactic is sneaky - slow clap to business + tech. Though I also appreciate you ending on a positive note. Given the cons, if you can get these on a much lower price, they are not bad. Importantly, they are safe power banks.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for video. I'm using 25k 145W Ugreen for charging all my devices like notebook & phone while traveling and 12k 130W Anker prime for everyday use to charge the smartphone on the go.
I still need to check out the 12k.
Thats a deep dive wonderful review. 👍 It is so good that I wonder when we will see your own brand so that people can get proper powerbank.
haha, yeah. That's a time and money constraint for sure.
Finally a good discharge efficiency in a powerbank.
Yeah, I was happy about that with this one.
Ur the best man thanks for being the greatest❤️
Thanks!
Man, what a good review! Thx
Glad you liked it!
Great and very useful review!! 👌🏻
Thanks! 👍
Fantastic review and technical expertise! Please do Lencent brand travel adapter review, they come with various pins and have different models 45,65,100w. They seems decent.
Thanks for the suggestion. I added to the ever growing list. I need to make some progress on that.
Thank you for good information
No problem!
I really want someone to open up this power bank. I just received mine and was surprised to see the 3950mAh*7. I would think that means that it does not use 6 2170 cells like the 737. The past Anker power banks I’ve used have had pretty accurate representations of how the cells are positioned in the pack in marketing material compared to teardown videos, and the Anker 250W battery is the first to showcase pouch styled cells in the marketing material that I know of. This would seem like the first time Anker didn’t use cylindrical cells which I presume is for better volumetric density.
Thanks for this amazing and thorough test. It did almost reach the claimed 240W for 2 USB C ports. I wished you went ahead and added a USB A device just to max it out because using all 3 ports is when Anker claims 250W. I did figure out how to turn off that USB A output by putting it on the base and pressing and holding the side button. Can’t figure out how to turn it off without the dock😅.
Yeah, that makes sense on the power bank size matching the 737. Interesting way to get the port to turn off! I would not have gone through that much trouble to figure it out. Thanks!
Thanks for the detailed video! Went with Ugreen for my Steamdeck as it only charges at 45W. Was cheaper on sale and the shape of the Anker is an absolute dealbreaker for me when travelling.
The UGREEN is the more typical shape and is fairly compact for what it is.
I stumbled into this channel looking for power bank reviews for my steam deck, but stuck around for the interesting science.
It's been months and I still haven't bought a single power bank btw.
Nice! Thanks for watching! I need to find a way to get more stumblers.
@@AllThingsOnePlaceI'm trying to promote your channel on UA-cam Facebook Instagram, even getting spam comment strikes for promoting you but people need to know there is finally a awesome technical testing channel for chargers & Power Banks. Thanks again for the channel & all the hard work put in. ⚡️🔋🔌⚡️
Nice video keep up the good work
Thanks!
Got this ugreen power bank for like $60 bucks around xmas time. Does what I need. Just got in the AOHI starship. Haven't even really got to use it yet. Hope you do a review on it.
Nice! Yeah, I have a few aohi things on the list to checkout.
I don't even need a powerbank but these videos are interesting lol
Thanks!
Just like all the over the top tech products they're useful just for a very small niche of people. For everyone else they're just a waste of money. Great review! I'd like to see more reviews for the "most bought" power banks and the small ones most people actually carry.
Yeah, I have a 10kmAh round I am working on now, with the nitecore power bank included.
I Would love to see a Iniu 20W 20'000 & 65W 25'000 Review as they are a big Amazon Choice sellers.
U are the Power Man 😅. Thanks for your great effort.
haha, thanks for watching!
These videos are amazing!! Any plans to make one on the Apple 70W USB-C Adapter?
Yeah, I need to cover that eventually. I don't expect much.
Please review / test the Omnicharge Power Banks - Omni 20+ 220v & Omni 20C+. I find your video's absolutely outstanding and I'm just dying to know if these Omnicharge devices (one of which has DC out) are worth the premium. Thanks for your work on these tests too.
Yeah, those have been on the list for a while now.
thank you for stopping me from buying the ugreen. it was on sale right now on amazon and I was about to bite lol
I need to check out the newer version still but I don't expect anything different, other people are more optimistic than me on this.
Great review, tx.
Thanks for watching!
Anker 27650 user here.
I found some qwerks with this power bank.
92% efficiency (92.1wh leeched out) at 94 watts of power. I ran my macbook at max performance for the whole time.
You do NOT require PD 3.1 to reach the dual port 170 watts of charging claim! If you have a Wotobeus 200w or charger, or a UGREEN 200w or 300w charger, or Anker 240w charger, or any other multi port charger that has two 100w ports that CAN OPERATE AT FULL SPEED SIMULTANEOUSLY, you can reach the 170w claim.
Once opening, the battery percentage is inaccurate. Please allow it to charge for at least 4 hours at 100 watts or more for the first time.
Mine is still extremely inaccurate after many charges and discharges, that part is not good. I didn't try the multiport thing, I actually don't get it or care about it either. They really should have enabled EPR 180W charging if they wanted faster charging but nope, cheap and again not good on a top dollar power bank.
@@AllThingsOnePlace maybe Anker would have considered 36v 5a if someone already made that type of charger, or maybe they knew the price already and didn't want to tack on more dollars to get full advantage of this power bank.
After using it for a few weeks I will say this is by far my favorite bank to use. I have a bunch of oppo/oneplus devices that use Supervooc (proprietary charging tech) and this is the only battery I’ve seen that does the full 65w that US supervooc allows. Also the app (while questionable) is undeniably a great feature. Minimal battery drain (according to Anker it’s .12mw per hour or so because it uses BT LE)….don’t know if it’s accurate but my favorite feature is a find my battery feature. Anker definitely hit a home run too.
Also it’ll fast charge with huawei, ROG 80w, QC5, and most other fast charge standards as well from what I’ve seen (a bit of a tech hoarder here)
ha, yeah, I'm a lab equipment hoarder but also acquire too much tech, so much I made a channel out of it. Thanks for the reporting on devices and uses for this though. I don't have any Vooc or related devices to test with so I always skip that part. I think the ZMI no20 also has this feature but you have to use the 'special' USB A to C cable that comes with the power bank.
@@AllThingsOnePlace technically speaking supervooc as a charging standard is better than PPS, QC5, and Samsung fast charge just due to the way Chinese manufacturers like oppo, huawei, OP, Vivo design their phones. Unlike with most devices that use one continuous battery cell most of the Chinese phones use dual cell so they can charge 2x+ as fast (120w or higher in some cases) and because it’s two cells they actually age slower than a single cell battery (oneplus rates around 1600 cycles) and they seem to charge at full speed even with screen on (thermal limitations apply). Tested the 250w with oppo, huawei, vivo, oneplus, and a few others. I can confirm that power IQ 2 usb A will supply faster charging than usb c on the same battery….averaging 18-28w for usb c vs 40-65w on usb A. Not sure what Anker is doing but it’s working. Just a little bit of information I felt would be useful
Awesome!
Would love to see the baseus 30,000. Seems like a more trustworthy cheap competitor to the ROMOSS 30,000
I did one of those. I think the older version of the baseus. I have the rosmoss here but haven’t tested it yet.
@@AllThingsOnePlace you're right! It's a little dissapointing on the charging efficiency, I wonder why battery banks tend to be so inefficient with that. Seems like unless you really spend for the high end ones it's usually under 80% efficient form the wall.
@@AllThingsOnePlaceRegarding the data controversy, i think you're referring to Anker's sister company Eufy , right ??
@@JoshuaG Yeah, I know they're not the same thing but still, nope.
Do you do a rated capacity test? Many of the powerbanks has this listed in specs. I think I saw the UGreen with 14500mAh. This seems to done at 5V so seems like a good real world test to test useable battery capacity and dc dc converter efficiency before bms switches off. This would be relatively easy standardised test to do on all powerbanks. Great test you have to done show UGreen doesnt stand up to high discharge rates. Keep up the good work.
Everyone does it differently. The voltage would only be part of the equation. I don't only use the 5V setting test since it's unfair to some and would make others look great. What I do instead is a full load and a partial load test on larger power banks, and the 5V or 9V test on a smaller power bank representing a typical phone as the load. It is a time balance thing too. I'd do more testing but spending days testing power banks for a couple extra data points that will only give you a small amount more information does not seem a worth while trade off.
Nice video! So Professional!
Thanks!
Hey man, im glad you did an in depth review of the ugreen, since I was looking at buying it. The only thing is you just lost me more here 😂 I would need a recommendation; I will be traveling in march and Im expecting to charge my phone (15 pro max) at least 3 times a day and maybe earbuds or smartwatch once but no laptop. Would you say the ugreen would be good for my use? Or would you recommend any other option? I just dont like anker’s form since I find it unpractical. Thank you so much and great video with great info!
Yeah, for the lower power needs, UGREEN is not a bad choice.
LMAO! I was about to but this Ugreen powerbank for my work laptop. Good thing YT suggested this video before I actually hit the place order button 😂😂😂
Yeah, it isn't great for any power hungry laptops.
How it can only output 60W is a horrendous lie. The selling point of this and especially the 100W version is exactly to charge a laptop. If laptop only gets 60W=not sufficient.
i got the ugreen for 70€ on prime-day sale. no regrets, charging my 65W laptop goes just fine (tested with power meter)
Good to hear it's working for that use case.
What watts max and stable output are you achieving?
Just got myself the Ugreen 25K 145W Power Bank for around $44. It was part of a huge sale on Lazada so I guess in terms of Wh/$, it comes at around 1.76, which is a huge steal. I'll primarily be using it to keep my dying S9+ topped up and my Switch Lite. I'd say at this price, it was really a good purchase for me.
Yeah and neither of those devices put it into the red zone for power output so that's a great price and match. Nice!
Thanks for the video. DOes the Ugreen support Pass through?
Thanks :)
Yes, it does, this is covered in the video under the guise of UPS functionality. It's only 30 watts though.
I got the anker and base. I just liked how it looked and was surprised that it can display the time, haha. Wish they update it to not display in 24:00 format, though. I trust anker, and it does everything i need, so no complaints so far.
Nice! Yeah, I use several Anker chargers and power banks and haven't had any issues, all newer ones.
Can you look at the V Mount style batteries from Smallrig, Newer etc? They all have USBC, USBA as well as come with DC out on a DC plug socket. They are normally used for powering cameras, but can be used for charging almost anything. They are 'chunky' looking but has excellent info screens.
Yeah, I should check those out, my lights all use V-mount anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.
the Anker Prime 250W will be no doubt a great powerbank until the new TB5/USB5 protocol roll out with higher bandwidth and up to 240w PD charging... there is the upcoming uze bold 2 powerbank but the retail price will cost as much the current or new apple watch
Yeah, I thought Anker was going to break through the 140W adapter barrier but it looks like not in this generation.
This is the best channel
Thanks!
I bought this Ugreen 25k for my Samsung S21 and Tab S9, which only needs a 70W charge. I like to buy Baseus 20000mah 65W, but the changing is much slower than I need.
Yeah, the UGREEN doesn't have the PPS mode (that Samsung uses) so I wonder how much speed difference there is.
@AllThingsOnePlace Around 15W, I don't like the size and shape of Baseus Blade. I do like the same size as this Ugreen, although Baseus does have Adaman, but at 65W, which is not enough because I always charge my phone and tablet at the same time.
By the way, Ugreen Samsung devices on technical specifications and not supporting PPS.
Did you verify PPS on the faster C port?
The manual indicates PPS on the input (That rail is what the Anker 100W charging base pin input uses), but not on the output. Output looks like standard USB PD rails.
Additionally, did you test the 170W dual port charging mode on the Anker, using 2 140W chargers?
On the Anker, I did verify PPS output at 100W and it worked no problems, only on the faster port. I didn't try dual adapter charging, not sure how that would work. If you have one try it and let me know how long it takes to finish charging, remembering the built in screen doesn't actually tell you when charging is done.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Dual adapter charging means you can plug two chargers into both C ports to charge even faster. According to JCKRGB's video, it even works with two adapters with different voltages.
Waited for this review. I guess there is no need to switch from the 737.
True.
thank you for reviewing the ugreen 145w! by chance do you know any powerbank thag can output 45w (SFC 2.0)?
The anker can, in this video. Many others have the PPS mode as well but checking for enough current or voltage is required.
Got the ugreen for 80$ usd due to a sale, planning on using it to boost my umpc playtime while on the go so needed something flat to fit on my pocket, havent gotten to use it yet, but hoping itworks well enough for my purposes, though after this video im definitely left with doubts ( the umpc requires 65w charging to maintain) atlwast now im s7bbed to your channel so can be on the lookout for when ypu test a proper upgrade
Yeah, hopefully, the PC only needs that much in bursts so the continuous power will be under the limits for the UGREEN.
How'd you get the big guy from Anker? I've been keeping an eye out for that one and haven't seen it on sale anywhere yet. The 20k and older 737 are good but I want the 27.5k 250w.
I put in an order the day it came out and it finally showed up. So, I waited a while. I didn't get it on sale, the price of getting a review out.
Finally a real critical scientific review and not a paid one.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Good stuff!! Do you think the anker is worth it over the 24k 140w charger due to price difference?
Same question :) I was about to buy the 737.
If you need the extra capacity or want to use the 140W output power then yes it's worth it
You beat me to answering my own comments, they still show in YT dashboard though, so answer b, I agree.
Went with the ugreen because from where im from i got the ugreen at 40 USD. The anker was selling at 150USD
Yeah, that makes sense. It isn't bad, just don't try to pull too many watts out of it.
Could you also test the UGREEN with 20.000 mAh100W please? Especially how it fares in comparison to the Baseus Blade HD, as both can be had for about the same price right now, thanks a lot, your reviews really are the best, precise and detailed!
Yeah, I have that one here to test! I need to get it and a bunch of other things on the schedule.
I have the base also, but should have save that money. recharge just as fast with a cable.
Mmm yeah. It charges faster with a cable actually.
I have been waiting for this review! Anker states this bank supports dual input charging up to 170W on their website: "170W Fast USB-C Recharge: Recharge your power bank at lightning speed with the convenience of dual USB-C ports, allowing you to fully replenish it in just 37 minutes." I did not see that tested nor it mentioned in one way or another. Can you test that capability?
I love my two Anker 737 banks(got 1 for free). With the MASSIVE battery(99.6Wh) in my Apple MBP 16" M2 Max, the additional capacity of this new bank calls to me. Is it worth it? Sounds like the 737 has more accurate display information(100% actually means 100%?), but you mentioned this new one does 140 power delivery MUCH better than the 737. What does that mean exactly?
The Anker 737 requires a break after discharging the entire battery at 140W. AllThingsOnePlace said during the 140W discharge test he had to wait for 1 hour before the powerbank would let him charge it again.
The Prime 27,650mAh powerbank, however needs no such break. It can output 140W and recharge at 140W all day long with no overheat
I have tested it as well. Can be recharged at 170 watts in 37 to 40 minutes, NO PD 3.1 REQUIRED!!
you just need some multiport 200w+ charger to get this to work. Ugreen nexode 200w and 300w will work with this. Wotobeus 200w charger will also do the trick.
you could also hog up two wall outlets and then plug two 100w PD 3.0 chargers with two 5 amp cables and it will also work. It'll just split the charge 20v 4.25a + 20v 4.25a
Yeah, that's a lot of watts. I wish it had EPR 180W so it could do it with one cable.
@@AllThingsOnePlacenope. I retested and the maximum power input happened to be up to 192 watts, so 48 volts would have been required.
I tested mine with an Ugreen 300W charger using the 2 max 140w port and the Anker took in a peak 186.2W of input
can you explain please why your chart states the anker can only charge a macbook 1 time? is this due to lost efficiency? Shouldn't a 27000 mah bank charge a laptop more than once?
Yes, charging efficiency plays a role, I use the output of the power bank not the capacity for the calculation, also I think I round down on the charts.
All things considered, which powerbank would you purchase to sustain a 65 W pulling laptop? Thanks.
Pretty much anything that can pass the 100W continuous test. So, that's Anker 200, 250, ZMI, if 60W is okay, the Evatronic.
9:26 the efficiency numbers do not seem to be ok. A1340 is correct however the other two maybe mixed up somewhere. UGreen = 100*77.5Wh/97.6Wh = 79% so the number including charging. for the Anker 737 it is 100*72/95.8WH= 75%
Those are the numbers in the table on the bottom row. The first row is discharge only versus on the box rated so kind of a junk number.
@@AllThingsOnePlace oh yeah sorry my bad, understand now! Ah great way to look at it also. And great content, so many reviewers take the wrong turn and multiply a fixed (assumed) output voltage times the measured mAh instead of real measured Wh. in some reviews the worst performing low voltage with constant current score the best. Also DC-DC constant I vs constant P load mistakes. But all looks very good here!!! GREAT
I need a powerbank in an application were it does not switch off, it has to power a LED lamp that has its own powerswitch. Do these powerbanks qualify?
You'd have to figure out how to make the power bank think you've plugged in a new device each time you flip the switch on the LED. These probably would work fine for a short duration but after a while, even in low power mode, they will turn off and not come back. Depending on what you need for power a more basic power bank might be better, USB A, keep the output active all the time.
Hi, between the Anker 737 and ugreen 25000, currently both at same price, which one would you recommend? Thanks
I think it’s form factor. The anker is squared on the end so it tends to fit less nicely in laptop bags. The ugreen is the more normal flat pack.
6:11 dude. Have you updated to 1.8.3 firmware on that tester? I think it fixes the 100W issue where it shows that, but it’s charging faster than 100.
haha, yeah I saw that. I figured there was an update by now, haven't done one in months on that device. The software is always the issue with cheap testers. Even on the Siglent gear, so many bugs.
No affiliate link for the zmi?
Any chance you could do a few videos on surge protectors? I'm getting overwhelmed with with info like "power station" and "noise filters". I just want something reliable that works well with tech.
Yeah, I don't have a good tester for surge, and they tend to be destructive tests but I like the idea of getting into that area.
@@AllThingsOnePlace Hm...didn't think about that, haha. Failed tests would be expensive.
I purchased the Anker one with a huge sale. I confess I did not need it (I’m generally rarely out of juice) but I was curious to have the shiny gadget. I also purchased the base station on sale which makes also it a fun gadget (the base is also a power hub so it was not that a bad deal even if it does not negotiate well with some things). The pair looks cool and I was surprised that the magnet was so strong.
The battery does feel and looks great. It works also very well at 100w without much heat.
However do we really need all these fancy display and BT features ? I doubt it and they are more potential points of failure.
So even if it works well, we overpay (even on sale) for a small « geek » pleasure. :)
Yeah, the display and BT are certainly gimmicks. But yeah, I think it is more about the fun of it. Very much in gadget territory and out of functional territory. I don't know about you but my next power bank needs chatGPT I think.
What can we infer from the noise generated during charging (When you had the mic up to the Anker in the segment before using the weird standing charger)
Not much, except that it makes an audible noise, it's not a noise test just an indication that you may have this issue.
Is there a way to limit or control the output power of each port manually, so that the power bank won't overheat and shutdown when charging 3 devices?
Sort of. You could use 60W USB C cables, so, 60+60+15W on the USB A should let you drain the battery flat.
Hi! I have an Asus tuf gaming a15 and I'm looking for a power bank that can feed the battery and stay on during some trips. I was thinking about the anker prime 250W. Do you think it's the best for the job, or would you recommend a different option?
Thanks!
If it supports PD charging sure.
Slightly unrelated, do you have one that you can suggest or would you suggest using a usb power meter to check energy usage? I remember seeing one in your earlier videos, I assume you stopped using it since you have nicer and more accurate tools.
The ones with the little lcd on them that usually show v/a/w.
Yeah, I have several of them, I do want to do some reviews of them at some point. I still use them as for indication only devices. Or for reading the chip of cables. The real cheap ones are not useful for measurements. The Power Z one is not bad but it is a lot more expensive.
The Anker power bank displayed violates transport by air. Anker tries to hide the fact that it is below the 100Wh permitted to travel on an aircraft at 4:48 by listing it as 99.54Wh; however, the capacity (27,650mah) exceeds what is permitted on passenger aircraft (27,027mah). When looking further, it is 7 smaller batteries with capacity of 3,950mah each @ 25.2V. As a whole, this power bank have a Watt Hour rating of 696.78Wh, which is nearly 7 times higher than what is permitted on a passenger aircraft. Additionally, this battery comes with a UN3480 warning which in detail according to the IATA, it is forbidden from travel on passenger aircraft
Although Anker certainly played with the numbers to put it 'under' 100 wh, the requirements are actually none of the above, it is the amount of lithium metal present in the battery, which can be explosive, and is extremely difficult to measure when in a battery. So, the limits on the FAA and IATA are based around rated Wh limits. They do not state mAh limits since they don't mean anything and may relate to the battery capacity but don't tell you the actual battery capacity. They also allow up to 160 Wh batteries with permission. Also, no, the pack is not nearly 700 Wh.
@@AllThingsOnePlace They’re 7 batteries in the pack, each with 99.54Wh. If you use a MaH to Wh calculator and measure 3,950MaH at 25.2V, it will come out to 99.54Wh.
3,950MaH x Nunber of Batteries in Pack (7) = 27,650Mah
99.54Wh x Number of Batteries in Pack (7) = 696.78Wh (Combined)
It is clearly defined in the timestamp, where it lists the Cell: 3950mAh*7pc on the 3rd line from the top.
sorry to interrupt. its actually easier to calculate the total Wh when you calculate the Wh for each lithium battery, 3.6v x 3950mAh (that is 14,220mWh) and then you multiply by 7. so 14,220mWh x 7 batteries = 99,540mWh or 99.54Wh@@ajb627871
do you reckon the anker could fix the issues via a firmware update through Bluetooth? or is a firmware upgrade not supported?
I think they can push firmware updates on this one. Typically they can’t change the power supply behavior or usb negotiations. Those are handled on dedicated chips.
Here's hoping you'll test the new RPi 5 power adapter.
Haha, yeah, I know!
We don't have the 100w charging base available in Australia, do you perhaps know if the US version would work with a travel adapter or is it wrong voltage? We use 240v over here.
Yes, the US version has universal input voltage.
@@AllThingsOnePlace thanks so much. Just ordered it😎
so i have anker 737, and when i charge with it any divise while charging the battery itself, it will lower battery charging input watt to equal the watt it output. so is it the same with Anker A1340 Prime?
Once it is charged it will do that. While charging it did continue to charge the battery, but be wary of power limits.
So I could use either of these to power my Akai keyboard (12v, 3amp = 36w) for a 3 - 4 hour gig? They're would be breaks to cool or recharge every hour or so
If it really uses 36 watts, then no, 36w*4hr=144wh < 80 or so wh available in the anker power bank. But I doubt it uses 36 watts they just over rate things as a safety factor. Also, you would need a PD trigger board to get 12V if the device isn't USB C PD capable already. You have to plug in the audio signal, plug in the power too.
@@AllThingsOnePlace interesting what you say about a trigger board - thanks, I'll look into that. I was thinking about a Usb-c to DC adapter. Either way, I certainly don't want to do anything that may jeopardize the keyboard. Cheers.
Edit: after a little research, I was hoping that the usbc would recognise the circuit as 12v/3a and provide power accordingly, but it may be that the protocol isn't there by default and a thingamabob needed to tell the own what power to push out?
I'm so confused, I found a listing on the UGREEN UK site with the same exact SKU of 90597A. But this one says its PD 3.1 capable with a max single output of 140W. Can't find it on Amazon though.
Yeah, I guess there is an updated version but yeah odd that the SKU is the same? I haven't been able to find it myself on Amazon.
what is a charing meter? I have bought one of those SBAOH Portable power bank, can you also do a dismental video on these powerbanks we would love to see which batteries are inside
Not sure on the meter. I don't generally do teardowns of these as they are destructive and it is a time management issue. Also, I am not convinced believing a brand is better than another is provable or true.
I'm a big fan of Ugreen, but after three times of use (using it to charge my Steam Deck), this 145W power bank won't turn on and charge itself. I'm trying to refund it right now, and now I know why it's always on sale here in Asia (around 40 USD). I learned it the hard way. 😂
true
ha, i worry about quality control on all of these.
You can charge the Anker on both ports together up to 170W
Yeah, saw that, didn't test it. Diminishing returns at some point, using two power converters means extra losses so marginally faster charging versus 140W single port charging and less efficiency. 30 extra watts in and the need for a giant power adapter or two power adapters, nope.
May I know which power bank that suitable, not heavy and powerful enough to charge a portable PC gaming handheld like gpd win 4 and aokzoe?
I'm not sure, it comes down to protocol supported mostly. The portable PC's won't use more than 60W so as long as the power bank can continuously provide that and the protocols are compatible between devices... Probably either of the ones in this video will work.
With all the ones you've looked at, what is your recommendation for a powerbank around $100? This is such a rabbit hole lol. Would need to have PPS though. Thanks!
Yeah, it's a tough one, availability is also the question. The anker power banks tend to have PPS on the higher end of the market, but only meet the price point on sale (which they are often on), I'd think about the Iniu lineup. They're under the price point but have reasonably good ratings and performance.
as always thank you
Very welcome
Hi mate, I'm a newbie, and I'm looking for a power bank to power my canon camera for a long time-lapse.
I'm a bit apprehensive of blowing up the camera, and all the wattage and volts are so confusing.
I've been recommended the ugreen 140w power bank, but before i drop £100 on something that may or may not work, i would like to ask a professional their opinion.
Apparently, I need a PD power bank with 9v 3a and a minimum wattage of 30w to power the camera from what I've read. Can you advise if this will be enough for what i need?
Would you recommend the anker over the ugreen? Will the anker be sufficient for what i need? Sorry for my lack of knowledge 😂
That seems like a lot for a camera. If you are really trying to do a long time lapse you are going to need to get that connected to the mains, 30 watts times 24 hours is 720 watt hours, these power banks are more like 70 watt hours, so you aren't going to get far. I use my gopro for time lapses all the time, it runs for a day off the anker prime with plenty of time to spare, it has an internal battery so I swap power banks if needed, but yeah it's a gopro not a big camera.
In this case the Anker does have more capacity by a little bit. It is also larger.
@AllThingsOnePlace I just meant longer than an hour as the standard camera battery only lasts for 70 minutes. I'm not doing a 24-hour timelapse, but thank you for the feedback. I appreciate your help 👍
Which is best power bank in 2023 high end ?
Beside anker which other I might look into
The ZMI was very good for a larger power bank, I like the form factor of the Baseus Blade power banks, the best for weight to energy is the 60W Evatronic from what I've tested. They're all pretty good options.
I would like to use a Powerbank that allows me to play full spec on the ROG Ally (Turbo mode (I guess 30W TDP but it needs to be acting as if it is plugged in at 60-65W)) all the time. Is the fact that the UGREEN slows down after 70% to 50W an issue for this?
That could become an issue with the UGREEN. The ZMI can hold that power level for a full discharge. The Baseus blades should be able to hold that as well as the 60W Evatronic for some different shaped or more compact options.
@@AllThingsOnePlaceThanks for the advice! The Anker 737 should also be a possibility, right?
@@AllThingsOnePlace I do also have a laptop asus g502du and use a dc to type c adapter , normally using a 65w pd charger is enough for it to use but not enough to charge at the same time. Charging wattage is 50w average max 65w on this laptop and my power consumption for the laptop is around 10-15wh do you think baseus blades can keep up with it
or the ugreen 145w? btw another side question for when I am not charging my laptop but have a heavy usage. Which one is able to keep for longer at 100w baseus blades or ugreen 145w and they both shutdown when they get hot right no way of them to lower the wattage ? my adaptor is only for pd 100w so wont be benefiting 145w either way and the battery is rated for 78wh
for other options they are not available here like ankers and such
@AllThingsOnePlace With extensive knowledge in power banks on the market, do you know if its possible to self built the most efficient power bank on the market without the shortcomings of all the power banks you have tested?
haha, yeah, I could build one, but it would be incredibly expensive and not manufacturing ready.
It appears the Anker Prime powerbanks are good looking, but so so technically. However, for simple charging of an iPhone 15 Pro Max, will they serve such a purpose or would you recommend something different? Cost isn’t the issue for me I just want it to work quickly and effectively.
The Prime 250W is a good power bank if you want a lot of energy. The zmi has been all over with me and held up so far. It's a bit big and heavy but I just see that as a challenge. These both have plenty of power for an iPhone and will be efficient and cool at those power levels.
They seem to think that getting 100s of watts from things this size without any "external dissipation" is achievable in a sealed plastic case.
I have no idea but hyperjuice was early to this mess with 200W power banks that all had to be pulled off the market because they overheat and now everyone else is doing it. All the tiny power adapters also suffer this problem.
Do you have a video with recommendations for different price points?
Working on that slowly.
@@AllThingsOnePlace great thanks
I have the ugreen powerbank, the c2 and A port stopped working😢 any idea why that would happen
During my testing the top of the power bank gets quite hot and seeing as though it shuts off at only 50 watts out, I think it overheats and in time I expect this could cause early failure.
Ugreen released an upgraded version of this powerbank that supports PD 3.1 on USB-C and claims to have 140W output on that one... I wonder if anything else changes, e.g. efficiency
It’s worth checking out at least.
any testing on the 170w dual port recharge on anker one? they say it recharge from 0 to 100% in 37 minute
No I didn't test that, only 140W. It might get to 100% on screen in that time but that's not even close to done charging when it says 100%, so there's that. I'd expect it to be a little faster than the 140W charging but there's other issues with that mode on the electronics side that will limit the capabilities.
Then what do you suggest with good features with huge sustain power but don't make hole in our pocket.
If I find that one, you will all know, ha.
Can you pls test the Baseus 160w wall charger. I'm torn between buying the 140w and 160w
I wasn't aware they made a 160W wall charger.
How does the cuktech 20 powerbank do? It was suggested to me several times.
I think it's the same as the zmi one just rebranded.
What a legend ❤
Thanks for watching.
