ua-cam.com/video/grOYuQFoQcQ/v-deo.html 👈🏻Here's my video on the Prime 200W! Also super fast, but a bit more compact!
I got the original 737 for $100 in U.S. It came in very handy through my recent Pakistan trip where power was intermittent! Charging multiple GoPros, phone, and microphones. Very occasionally my laptop. I can’t imagine needing to charge at over 100W. So I’m still very happy with the previous model for anyone thinking about the new model.
That’s amazing! Yeah the 737 is still a great buy and with enough power for most people. Plus I’ve seen it get discounted now that the Prime lineup has launched. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
Quick Note! The recharge estimates at 5:16 are based off of my devices which have around 88-90% health. You'll get slightly more or less depending on your battery health!
Also, filmed this in the middle of a heatwave if I look like I’m dying.. 🥵
Let me know what you think and what your fastest charger is! 🔌⚡️
Is it possible to charge Asus 14 laptop 65W?
A British heatwave or a real one? 🤣🤣🤣.
I'm only joking mate I know you guys get bad ones too.
Greetings from Australia.
@@funbucket09oh definitely a British one 😄 But our houses are designed to keep in heat and we don’t have aircon 🥲 Then my video lights just add to the heat as well! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
This review is insanely high quality for your channel size, good stuff man I just subbed
Much appreciated! Thanks for the sub! ✌🏻
the charging base is amazing!! such a good combination with already fantastic power bank.
Hope Anker Australia can in-stock this soon
It’s so good! Yeah the 250W seems to be going in and out of stock quickly at the mo! ✌🏻
Excellent video. I have two of the 737’s and they are great. Looking forward to a deal on Amazon before I can justify buying this new one. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! Yeah keep an eye out! 👀
Would absolutely love a comparison of all 3. This video was fantastic
The smallest of the Primes, the 12,000mAh, isn't out yet but I'll see what I can do in future! Thanks for watching!✌🏻
This is my introduction to your channel. The Video is completely full with useful information, I did not get bored at all, and most importantly, you got all the basics right. Keep up the good work, subscribed and liked, love your work from Germany!
Hello to you in Germany! 🇩🇪 Welcome to the channel :) Glad you enjoyed my video and found it useful! Thanks so much for subscribing! ✌🏻
What a time to be alive man, definitely getting this
It’s ace! ⚡️✌🏻
Excellent video, just bought the Prime with the Charging base and got it yesterday due to this video.
Nice one! Glad you found the video helpful! ✌🏻
Power bank evolution moves fast. I have the flat 737 with 87W out, and thought I still was cool.
True, I remember when even the low output ones would get super warm! Much more efficient now! ✌🏻
The 747 does 87W, the old 737 does 60W + 18W over USB-A
Your mum still says your cool so I wouldn't sweat it 😂
Great video. Very informative. Thanks for doing what you do. I used to ask myself the same question about USB-A still being on devices until I realized I still have some old devices that I still use that can only charge with USB-A. I ended up getting the 200 Watt version since the one in your review says it’s unavailable. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻 Yeah, I think USB-A will be around for many more years so I guess having it here is good for compatibility. I think this 250W version currently has an order backlog which is why it says unavailable! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
The quality of the review itself is amazing and yes Anker Prime is one worthy sophisticated replacement for MacBook's PD powerbanks. Thanks for great review.
Thanks so much Mehdi! Appreciate it! ✌🏻
Great review! Answered all my questions, and the image quality is so clear and nice to watch!
I agree that USB-A is completely useless now, would much rather have a 3rd USB-C port.
And for a wall charger I'm using UGREEN Nexode 140W.
Thanks so much I appreciate it! And nice charger! ✌🏻
Thanks for this review.... I appreciate it....I will buy one for Christmas! Greetings from Spain!
Glad I could help! Hello to you in Spain! :) 🇪🇸✌🏻
New to the channel! Love your presentation and info! Cheers!
Thanks so much Gregg! Welcome to the channel! ✌🏻
I’m happy it has a A port still I have a lot of devices that require a A Port to charge or run off of like a usb fan, AirPods, etc.
The reason for the USB-A port is I believe due to a number of USB-C devices not supporting the PD standard for charging.
When they are plugged into a USB-C PD port, no negotiation takes place, and they fail to charge. They come with a USB-A to USB-C cable for that reason.
Thanks - always wondered why my devices that come with a USB-A to USB-C cable would never charge with just USB-C
Great video, thanks!
Thanks Mark! ✌🏻
Your video was very wide and I liked it very much, thank you for this excellent piece of tech review
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it! ✌🏻
I’m pretty happy with my Anker 737 I don’t have anything above 140w that will take advantage of the 250w upgrade on the new battery bank, great video!
Yeah the 737 is still an absolute beast! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
Got the 737 for a big discount on Amazon Prime Day, along with the 120W Anker charger which is my new fastest charger.
Nice one! I’ve seen the 737 discounted now the new Primes are out. Still an ace power bank for even less! ✌🏻
How much you got it for?
I don't mind the A port as there are some devices even recent ones that come with a type c to a cable to protect the battery life apparently like my Marshall Middleton bt speaker. That being said I would've liked an extra type C port AND I hate the bigger glossy front part, I feel like they could've just made it a little bigger to accommodate the bigger screen but those tend to scratch easy and like you said are fingerprint magnets.
True, there’s still a lot of USB-A devices out there. I’ve basically switched to USB-C completely now so I also would’ve liked another C port! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
USB-A doesn't protect your battery. Slower charging speed does. There're loads of USB-C slow-charging devices out there. There's no legit reason to be cheap and give user a USB-A cable.
Excellent video! I like the Anker reviews 😊. Not my product to buy but awesome as a pricey gift 🎁
Thanks so much! Awesome gift for your tech friends! ✌🏻
Would love to see you make a comparison of all the prime banks and do a thorough review of the actual efficiency of these banks. A lot of reviewers aren't touching on that and taking the mAh at face value. What are we really getting? 82% 90% of the capacity?
More like 60%... about 40% is lost due to heat and energy transfer. So on the 737 which has a 24K mAh capacity, you're only gonna get about 13-14K mAh in reality
Bought the 737 off the back of your video, now holding tight to see when the 250 arrives on Amazon
I remember you commenting last time! Hopefully it's not too long, I think there's a backlog of orders right now ✌🏻
I actually like that it still has a USB A port, it comes in handy for older devices or when an iPhone user needs a charge since many people still use the older cables.
Yeah that’s true! ✌🏻
All of my wearables use USB A. As a traveller, it's more important to keep legacy ports because they have proprietary connectors to the device itself
@@JonYeoAU Yeah and still so many A Ports on Buses, Trains and Planes. I think it’ll be around for a long time! ✌🏻
Strong agree.
There are also a bunch of USB-c devices that don't have the resistor for PD default, and will not charge when plugged into another USB C port. Mostly cheaper stuff, but the whole Anbernic line suffers from this.
In these cases, USB-A is an absolute necessity.
@@lev3k there's two expensive devices I own that are like this. I can't remember what one of them is right now, but the other is DJI's remotes for the DJI Avata. Both the motion controller and the FPV controller charge through USB C, but they don't activate USB C chargers, and each controller is like $150 IIRC. it's ridiculous.
One point was not clear to me with the pass through section. Can I charge it with 40W type c and take out more watts than I put in? The use case is, when I am outdoor and I plug in a solar type c chargee , which can make 40W but I want to charge my macbook as an example. Certainly the battery will be empty at some point, but I can last it longer due to the solar. Thanks for the video !
I got the 737, expensive but absolutely brilliant. I’m happy about the USB A port, I have some micro USB devices and an Apple Watch charger that needs it.
Yeah it’s amazing! ✌🏻
HI did you know whether the battery cell is 21700 size cylindrical or soft-packed?
I’ve been looking for something like this for my hyperpack so I can know what’s going on without rummaging around for the battery and unplugging everything to know what capacity my battery is at and monitor the charging of my devices / the battery.
My most powerful charger is the Anker GaNPrime™ 120W charger,
Combining the Prime 250W powerbank and the new 240W Anker Prime wall charger would form the ultimate duo for ultrafast charging.
Amazing! They’re a great Duo. Still using my 737 Charger! ✌🏻
Important to note that the charging input is 170w max. Which is still faster that the 140 input for 737
I got the 120W, failed in about a month.
Do you know if the cable that comes with the powerbank in combination with the m1 16" macbook pro block charger works fine? because I pluged it 4 hour ago... and it is still around 1,25%
Our power goes out on occasion so was looking for a power bank that could recharge my iphone 13 pro, new iwatch and if need be my Mac Pro laptop. I saw your review of the Qi2 Mag Go 3 in 1 which would be great for traveling but if need be could I plug that into the Anker Power Bank if our electricity is off. I know the Mag Go has to be plugged in which normally will be ok but I definitely need a more robust power bank for the house. Thank you for any input!
My charging base will not charge the power bank through the pins. Worked once and now I need to connect a cable from the base to the power bank, defeating the whole purpose of buying the base in the first place! Any help appreciated!
Base is definitely not wireless charging, it has pogo-pins for connecting with the power banks pads on the bottom. Maybe it can be called plugless charging? Can't wait for this to hit Europe, been wanting a high power power bank for a while.
This powerbank is such an overkill, love it! What an amazing piece of tech, and you can recharge it in minues ??? Im shocked, dont need one for now but maybe in a future this be way to go!
I know right it’s insane haha. Super handy for fast charging power hungry tech! ✌🏻
You reviews are incredibly good.. Can you review a 10000mah or 5000mah with 65w/30w recharge. If any.
Looking at large power banks for when the power goes out at home and we need to work. One part that had me confused is whether these will charge windows laptops. We have a 2022 M1 MacBook Pro 16” but for work have a Dell workstation and a HP Z book. Can’t find any info on whether these can be charged via usb c. They both have the ports but the info isn’t available.
Just bought the 250W Prime Power Bank to re-charge my DJI Mini 3 Pro. I have 5 batteries but even that isn't enough to keep on shooting all day, I have tried in car charging, inverters etc etc but they rely on my car running. I am hoping this will be able to double my 'on the go' battery availability - as I paid £147 which would be the cost of 2 extra drone batteries and I am hoping this will keep all 5 topped up ready to go making it better value than buying another 5 drone batteries. Fingers crossed.
So it cant fully charge macbooks?? Im confused...
Is it possible to charge it on the Anker 100W Charging Base while simultaneously charging it with a USB-C cable from the Anker 100W Charging Base for fast charging?
What if you charge the power bank with two chargers from the 2 ports?
I just bought the 140 W version but will get this when I get a new gaming laptop!!!!
Nice one! Keep on gaming! 🔋✌🏻
Hey @JCKRGB. Thanks for another great video.
I own a 737 but just saying that I haven't been able to pull 140 from type C at all. Max has been 94W. I think what you've mentioned is wrong for the 737 it doesn't give a single port 140W output at all.
Please reconfirm.
Thank you! What are you trying to recharge with it? I've hit just shy of 140W recharging my 16" MacBook Pro (2021) using a MagSafe Charger.
You can seen it at around 126W in my video on it here: ua-cam.com/video/N8Kh1B3FwDs/v-deo.htmlsi=cLDE3y29PkSZGJzT&t=176 But I've see it hit high 130's too ✌🏻
Hey@@JCKRGBapologies for the delayed response. Well I am using this with Asus Zenbook Pro 14, max it draws is 90 on the reading on 737. Maybe its now supposed to take in that much. IDK.
What is that one model without display cover?Looks cool. Searched 737 all with display covered. 😮
Hopefully they come up with a touch screen one.
Did you tried charging the dji drones battery?
Does it work well with the surface book 2 15’’ ?
Its nice but i have too many now. I'll keep it in mind when shopping for next one
I also have too many power banks haha.. ✌🏻
I am very happy that it still has a USB Type A port , cause I am sure they would not put 3 USB Type C anyway , so better to have it there , and if you still have an older device with MicroUSB , it could work with the original charging cable , I know there is also Type C to MicroUSB but not everyone has one of those
This is very true, I’m slowing switching everything to USB-C but still have A cables I can make use of! ✌🏻
@ArenaDigitala same with me. While I love USB C, I've ammased a considerable amount of tech I'm not willing to part ways with from the pre-C era (plus think of the senseless e-waste decommissioning it just for the port!).
Many people will still need an A port for a number of years. At a random totally uneducated guess, I would say at least 5 more years (possibly 10) before the technology using the A ports becomes completely obsolete. Even longer for specialist hardware. Look at how many professional/industrial components still need a DB9 (serial) port!
Mine is coming tomorrow. Very excited
Amazing! Enjoy that fast charging! ⚡️
I have the original Anker 737 GaNPrime power bank and this one looks pretty cool. However, my current one is already overkill for me and I would rather get a power bank with a single port output of 240 W.
Nice! The 737 is ace. I wonder when we’ll start seeing power banks with 240W out from a single port.. 🤔
Whats the point of it? What device can take 240W?
Future laptops @@sl0f1n93
I’ve recently purchased an Anker GanPrime 150W charger. Before that I used my 67W charger that came with my 2021 14” MacBook Pro
Nice one! Thanks for sharing and watching! ✌🏻
@@JCKRGB It charges my devices including the 250W Prime Power Bank super well! Been thinking of getting the wireless charging base as well.
Loved your video, super well made. You earned yourself a sub!
Such a beast 🔥
Unfortunately due to high demand Anker stated that new purchases would be dispatched between (31 of Dec to 31 of Jan).
I'm surprised the demand is so high. Most would be absolutely fine with the smaller units, or even the 737 or even power cores
Got the 737 and I like not having to be attached to a wall like a dog.
Cool that there's a 100wh version now. But the 737 is just as fine tbh.
Yeah! OG 737 is still a really good power bank! ✌🏻
To the charger part, had a 65w initially too. But got a 140w one now. The fast recharge is really what makes the Powerbank. Also 65w gets really slow when you have to recharge all devices.
Nice one! Yeah it makes it so much better. Even if you forget to charge you can still get a decent amount from a quick charge while getting ready ✌🏻
with that wattage it should have A/C outlet because it already have enough power to run a 42" smart TV and Nintendo switch
I have a 20.000mAh power bank with 65W output and 45W input. Has a little screen that shows the battery percentage and if its using PD or not. Cost 20 bucks on amazon lol.
I'm happy with the a port since a lot of cables I got are USB A to C or still micro from old tech.
That’s fair. Yeah I’ve still got a few A cables I can use lying about! ✌🏻
I have a question I’ll greatly appreciate your answer. When I plug in to charge my iPhone the w outage only stays at 5.7w not 240, 200, or even 100w. I’m very confused.
iPhones have a max wattage of around 29W, but they can only draw that much power for the first 50% or so while fast charging. After that, the wattage decreases to preserve battery health. Hope that helps! ✌🏻
Thank you for the great comparison video, actually seems weard for the new generation asking why Type A still exists, i have fold phone and Samsung ultra but im still using the old Samsung gear earphones and old watch digital and still working all the old devices i purchased 3-4 years ago including the latest devices. Im so happy still has type A so i can charge all types of my devices and equipment the new and the old 😅
Yes no type A port is a deal breaker for me too. I'm glad it still has one. What's the harm of including it? If you really really need 3 C ports, buy an adaptor. I shouldn't need to buy a C to A adaptor to charge a legacy device. Having both available means no one needs to buy an adaptor.
Some devices only charge from A ports - dont remember why. Something about the voltage of the devices - have a USB tpye-C rechargable fan and a lighter that only charge with an A to C cable
Yeah! Having the A-Port is still good for those random older devices ✌🏻
can we power a 9v or 12v like a guitar amp or a guitar pedal
Im getting one to use on international flights so i can play my steam deck the whole time!
I like the intro, it reminds me of MKBHD, in a good way
Good video. I have one question. Do this power bank support passthrough charging? I mean charging devices connected to power bank while charging power bank.
Thank you! Yes I mentioned this 8:23 ✌🏻
9.5/10 FindMy would have been the icing on the cake. Great product overall
100% That would be way more useful than the Bluetooth pinging 😬 Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
I am thinking there are always and odd old device that uses USB-A. Nicee to have that port if there is space for it.
True! Always good to have for more compatibility! ✌🏻
I just had a thought, do you know if this new version works with the Insta360 X3 Battery Dock? the old version gave a "UPV" error and doesn't charge the batteries.
Not sure sorry! I don’t have the X3 Battery Dock to test with. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
I like there being one USB-A port. This should definitely have more than two Cs, though.
Yeah I’d gladly keep the USB-A if we had a third C port as well! ✌🏻
Having is better than needing.
Still think it needs more ports ,2A ,3cs .For the price is on very high side ,and square shape makes a big bulk ,which isn't good for packing in computer bags .As for the "wireless" dock which is just over price ,should be included for such a slow charging dock.
A question for the 250W to charge it, do you necessarily need a wireless base or can it also be charged connected?
The Charging Base is optional, you can charge the Prime 250W with a cable ✌🏻
Just got the anker 250w for $87. Very nice power bank gets charged fast with my ugreen 100w
That’s an amazing deal 👀
Does anyone know whether this supports pass-through charging? So can I use this as a power power source WHILE it is being charged itself ? (That is very important to my travel-use-case)
I have the 737, it charges while you have other devices plugged in the other 2 ports.
Yeah! I mentioned this at 8:22. The 737 supports pass though as well ✌🏻
all pwerbanks should have that Find function, everything really :)
Yeah it comes in handy haha ✌🏻
Did a search on ebay bluetooth fobs are real, need one for my wallet keys and phone, Christmas present for myself :)@@JCKRGB
Does it come. With the base
Can you use one of the 240 W total output chargers with multiple C ports to charge this power bank at 170 W using two cables?
Oh that’s a good question! I don’t have a 240W charger to test with but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work 🤔
Can u compare anker prime with ugreen 145w 25000mah. I means, besides top tier anker 250w. Others just too pricey, u got a screen, but that’s it.
The 737 is currently sold for 104 euros and the 27k is sold for 134 euros here in italy altough they just came in recently and had their price respectively lowered from the original 160 and 180 ... One thing that is annoying is that the charging base is nowhere to be seen in italy, and Anker doesn't ship to anywhere else than the US, so yeah....
P.S. i bought a couple 27k's and both have the problem where in the app, if you configure a device that is 17000 mah it will say that it will charge it only 1 time; also, if you create a device that has the same identical battery capacity as the 27k itself, wich is 27650 mah, it will say that it can charge it only 0.6 times, something is definitely wrong here, it might be a software problem altough as of today there is no update or fix in sight
Ahh I hope bring out the charging base for you in Italy, it’s great add on!
As for the charging estimates, mine says the same, it’s not a bug. You won’t get a full charge for another device with say a 27k capacity as there’s always a loss of power through heat and other factors, it can’t be 100% efficient.
It’s the same with all batteries and power banks. That’s why having it here is useful, it actually gives you an idea for how many charges you’ll get! Not seen that before on a power bank! ✌🏻
I Currently have the 737, which like this can charge at 140w from a single usb c port.
I bought it to use with my Xiaomi 12T Pro that charges at 120W, BUT unfortunately the 737 doesn't do it, something to do with Xiaomi having their own propierty charging tech.
So as amazing as Anker power banks are, there are some things it can't do.
Crazy that there are 120W charging phones! It’s a shame it doesn’t work with the 737! ✌🏻
blame Xiaomi for that. That 120W that they use is a proprietary standard that only their chargers can use, unlike Mac’s 140W power delivery, which is supported by Anker/other brands, since it is from USB PD. For me, high wattage phone charging is bs if it’s not using USB PD, and creates their own standard instead.
It is reported by AllThingsOnePlace that the Prime 20K can only sustain charging 200W for 5 minutes after which it overheats. Additionally, for most of the charging time the power bank isn't charging at 100W, but at 50W. Charging time is substantially more compared to the 737.
New sub from a fellow UK tech channel
I carried a massive OmniCharge Ultimate. I could charge laptops, dslrs, DJI drones, fpv quad lipos, plus the whole outlet. At one point there was a black out in the summer and I was using it to power the tv and a fan lol. The best part is I could swap the battery part out so it was technically modular.
While I love my 737 and often get near 100w charging my handheld pc, I just feel like upgrading are pretty wasteful especially at that price lol. If they could put the whole smart system on user replaceable batteries I would be willing to spend a fair amount even if it were just usb c. Everything’s usb c these days!
so as I understand at the same time I can charge my MacBook m1 pro 16’ and get 140w and my MacBook m1 pro 13’ and get 61w at the same time with maximum speed? it gives you at two usb c ports maximum 240w at the same time? but at the website it says only 170w maximum at 50% battery capacity of power bank? don’t understand will I get maximum speed at two this MacBooks at the same time?
The 170W is referring to when you are recharging the power bank itself with both C ports. It’ll only reach 170W input after the power back reaches around 55%
For output, using the two C ports at the same time, you’ll get up to 140W from C1 & 100W from C2 ✌🏻
But does it do 12v5a over pd? i really want a power bank that does 5a on 5v,9v,15v,20v,48v and if it was from anker that would be dope
Doesn’t look like it unfortunately! There’s a full spec sheet you can look at on the Anker Product Page under the Downloads section. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
Is there a way to keep the screen turned off even while charging another device? Asking about this and the 737
Yeah! By default the screen on the 737 auto turns off after 30 seconds. You can use the side button menus to disable the auto turn off to keep the screen on (which I did for filming!). You can also turn the screen off manually by holding the side button for a couple seconds. Any devices connected will continue charging.
The 250W Prime has more auto off options: 30s, 1m, 5m & 30m (or again, disable auto off)
Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
Wireless means there would be a lack of a 'physical' connection and contact. Wireless charging will transmit through things, much like a case on a phone. This is more a 'dockable' charger as the pogo pins make an actual connection. Sorry, it does irk me a little when terms are not used properly. Look them up of you like, I'm not hating, just informing.
Can i charge alienware m15r7 with it?
High class post, Jack - heatwave in UK? Really? Channel graphic works well, albeit kind of short. Output per device in display and app a plus.
Would recharging times differ depending on voltage differences in UK and US? When were you last in Paris? Cheers!
Yeah.. just a few days! It wasn't too hot here but my filming lights heat up the room too.. We don't really have AC in UK homes.
I like a short intro to get straight on with the video!
I don't think they'd be any differences with the recharging times.
Last in Paris maybe 3 or 4 years ago! Cheers Paul! ✌🏻
my biggest issue is that the in/out usb-C never charges the way i want it to charge
I like it but the form factor is not ideal. Can't carry it in a backpack without adding a ton of bulk
Are we able to take this to airplane?
So far two chargers from the GAN line have failed on me within
a month or so. just stopped charging anything. extremely unimpressed.
A question friend, does it matter if the power bank is charged with another charger that is not from Anker or does it necessarily need one from Anker?
No you can use any charger. I’d recommend one that’s 100W+ for faster charging
It is possible setup to charge powerbank to 80% to keep health battery?
Wirelessly, ?it has 4 pins that distributes the power
I wondering does it support pass through charging? I'm planning getting one
Yes it supports pass through! ✌🏻
Make a compartment for itvin backpack and rock it
Will leaving it on the magnetic charger for a long time damage the battery?
The Prime stops charging on the Base when it reaches 100%, so it should be fine! ✌🏻
How about a Dell XPS 17?
