Thanks for contacting the company. Good idea, I went on to purchase one and it is $249.99. Though the video came out 11/30 you mentioned it was a Cybo Monday sale. Hmmm...???
Actually this is only their first LiFePO4 power station, NOT their first power station. I’ve had the 400 watt Lithium of theirs ( Anker Powerhouse II 400) for over a year now. Their extremely good info screen was what won me over on it. It’s been my go-to for awhile. The Powerhouse II 800 came out about 9 months ago.
Professor Hobo Tech. Another great video but here is a question from a totally non-tech guy. I'm overlanding with a 50qt ARB (ac/dc) and while driving it runs off either the AC or DC in the truck. I would like to have another power source to keep the ARB running during prolong stops (long lunch breaks, vehicle stops, etc.) From the specs, it draws 64.3 watts for cooling. Question is, of all the units you have reviewed, is there one in particular that you could lean toward if you were looking for a power source for the ARB?
"those of you watching this video weeks or months from now don't complain when the price goes up" err, what about 30 minutes after? Can we complain now?
Best friggin' Anker review on the web! I don't know why the vast, vast majority of channels don't even show the unit in use! Thank you, just subscribed!
Been following Jackery, TOGO, prices for months, ever since watching the 300W models review. Waiting for Jackery to have the 300 back in stop and comparing against the TOGO 330 and 350 models. So I had pricing and discounts memorized. Both announced Black Friday and/or Cyber Monday deals. TOGO raised their prices back to retail then discounted. So you really didn’t get the 30% off that they advertised in comparison to pricing a week ago. Jackery flashed a $209 price yesterday on the 300 for about an hour, went to buy and it was back to $299, which was the list price for months. So no surprise these companies advertise one price and bait/switch. Just need to be fast I guess!
Back after the trip, I have the #Anker757 and used it on my desert trip with the 300w soler, it is a BEAST!! more then enough to power the camp and to keep my #Domitec 92 CRX3 ruining the hole time. I think the fast charging is the key for it to stand up for its readiness. It did handle the work all day specially when we make coffee on the Nespresso machine.
It went up $12.5% in an hour. Talk about inflation! This video has become false advertising just like that. Please edit title if the price can't last more than an hour at the butt crack of dawn.
What exactly am I getting for the $50 increase within an hour of posting? Sometimes you don't get what you paid for and or pay too much. If it was $199 an hour ago, this seems like a rip off now to me at $250.

I've always been impressed with Anker powerbanks but their multi-port usb wall chargers are unreliable. I have several of their wall chargers and they've all had USB ports that stopped working. The saving grace is that Anker will send you a free replacement, without even having to return the old one. But the replacements usually have failed ports after 3-12 months too.
Hello..love your videos..can I get your opinion..im looking at the anker 521 vs ravpower 70200 ...which one is better for laptop power...I know one is Lithium versus lithium phosphate..that being said i dont understand volts and watts...thanks for any input🙏🏽
Uh, they lied to you, the price is $250 as of 11/30/21 at 0721 MST only a couple of hours of you publishing video. I'm so angry, lol. Decepticons destroy Optimus.....oh sorry, wrong robots. Thank you for your time I appreciate your reviews.
I have Anker Solix 1000. In the manual says to charge to 100% after use. Pretty much recommending to store it at 100%!?! Isn't this increasing the battery degradation? The manual also reconfirms if stored for long periods to recharge to 100% every 3 months. I see online information that the string at 100% for LFP is still somehow bad, the reason it needs 100% is to calibrate the BMS. What is you take on this?
Can you charge via solar, directly from solar panel to 8mm dc adapter cable to 8mm dc jack in the back of the unit WITHOUT a middle unit to convert the power. My apologies, I have no idea haha
I just Liked this Video and Subscribed to your channel ! I bought an Anker 521 Power Station and hoping to locate a suitable adapter to charge it with a Solar Panel. I have seen a few reviews on Amzon that some folks are buying a common 8mm plug and have to cut or modify the barrel to get it to fit. I have a ZAMP folding Solar Panel with SAE connections. I understand that the Controller with most Solar Panels needs to be Bypassed to properly charge most Power Stations. I believe that Anker recommends using a 7.9mm plug also know as a "7909 DC" to charge their Power Stations with a Solar Panel. I am looking for a quality Plug and Play adapter / cable. Any comments on what specific make and model of an adapter to fit an Anker 521 to an SAE connection would be Great ! Thank You for taking the time to Help me and lots of other owners of an Anker Power Station :)
When I first saw the 521 I also thought it was 521 watts. Bummer...but I love Anker & the dual charging & pass through. Most power stations don't let you use AC & charge the device at the same time or use AC & DC at the same time.
Hopefully they will listen and keep the pass through and double charge and then add some real (up to date) ports. (QC3) in a 2K unit and bypass all the other models. Make one that competes with Blueitti and Ecoflow
My biggest issue with this is the stupid barrel plug in the back of the power station to use for charging from solar. Or you can plug your solar panel into the two way usb C plug in the front. That's a wiring nightmare. Why can't they just have a XT60 outlet in the back. The barrel plug is doable but that is an old school piece of shit port.
lots of people are getting into the Chinese Diesel Heater craze. This solar Generator would be perfect to run the Heater in startup ,and shutdown mode. The Heaters draw a little over 8 amps once fully powered up draws less than 2 Amps continuously.
Interesting...been wondering when one of my favorite companies was going to enter the race!! Still love Bluetti as well, Hope Anker keeps on competing!
Just looked this up on Amazon - on 11/30/2021 the price is $249.99, so they were wrong about the price staying past "Cyber Monday" until the video came out.

It offers quick charging via the USB-C port. Hence the IQ-3 (clever little tech that supports PD and QC standards). Not USB-A, sure, but it’s time to move on 😃 - although, I thought standard IQ did do limited faster charging 🤷♂️
Would this be enough to run a portable projector @60W for 2hrs? I think it would, I’d like to use this for camping, watching a movie in the middle of no where lol
Great review, thanks! How does it compare to the bigger Anker 535? I am on the fence between the 535 and the EcoFlow River 2 Pro but have no experience with either company. Subscribed
246wh? As far as I can tell, these only make sense if you must have an AC outlet. With most laptops (my main use case) able to use USB-C directly, you could get a couple of power banks that are a fraction of the cost and size. Considering there are many recent USB powered products which traditionally would be AC (lights, fans etc.), opting for those is another way to reduce the need for an outlet.
Greetings, I am watching tons of your video's which are very informative so thank you. Can you help with a question I am struggling to find an answer to? When we a product claims 2000 cycles for the battery, is that from bottom to top (0-100%), because in the camper truck set up I am building I would like to keep the battery charged up as I go, so if I camp for a night and use let's say 50% then top off during the following day, does that count as one full cycle out of the 2000, or would it only count as 1/2 a cycle because I did not exhaust or recharge a full cycle. Or, if I hypothetically only used half a charge at a time would it extend the initial 2000 estimate to 4000? I just can't seem to find any information to help answer this question so if you are able, I would greatly appreciate the help. Great vids, fun too, more cameo inserts...
This is currently on sale for $169 with a standard price of $199. There is an updated 522 model you should get instead. However, my 521 has served me well as a UPS for my network equipment so no complaints here.
@@CookingJoeFoods it supports higher wattage appliances for the AC outlets and I think the USB C ports are higher wattage as well to charge laptops faster. Equipment running on AC power tends to spike when you first turn them on and then they settle into a lower consumption. This would allow the equipment to spike significantly higher and run some higher wattage appliances. Up to you.

The Anker 521 has similar specs to the GoLabs i200. Which is better? For $30 less at the moment on Amazon, the GoLabs has more outputs, one year less warranty, and slower charging. Otherwise, specs are similar. Either should charge a 12v fridge.

“Don’t comment if the price has changed” ok I won’t. It’s still 199 on amazon
Now $169
I cannot find mAh for thing. Any idea ?
Poor manufacturing quality. The AC socket either shuts off every 15 minutes or stops working entirely within 6 to 9 months.
Would this be enough to run a portable projector @60W for 2hrs? I think it would, I’d like to use this for camping, watching a movie in the middle of no where lol
Great review, thanks! How does it compare to the bigger Anker 535? I am on the fence between the 535 and the EcoFlow River 2 Pro but have no experience with either company. Subscribed
Um the price has changed bro...;)
Hi Professor!!!... We would love to see a review of the new Anker SOLIX C1000. Thank you for your fantastic reviews 👍
246wh? As far as I can tell, these only make sense if you must have an AC outlet. With most laptops (my main use case) able to use USB-C directly, you could get a couple of power banks that are a fraction of the cost and size. Considering there are many recent USB powered products which traditionally would be AC (lights, fans etc.), opting for those is another way to reduce the need for an outlet.
Greetings,
I am watching tons of your video's which are very informative so thank you. Can you help with a question I am struggling to find an answer to? When we a product claims 2000 cycles for the battery, is that from bottom to top (0-100%), because in the camper truck set up I am building I would like to keep the battery charged up as I go, so if I camp for a night and use let's say 50% then top off during the following day, does that count as one full cycle out of the 2000, or would it only count as 1/2 a cycle because I did not exhaust or recharge a full cycle. Or, if I hypothetically only used half a charge at a time would it extend the initial 2000 estimate to 4000? I just can't seem to find any information to help answer this question so if you are able, I would greatly appreciate the help. Great vids, fun too, more cameo inserts...
This is currently on sale for $169 with a standard price of $199. There is an updated 522 model you should get instead. However, my 521 has served me well as a UPS for my network equipment so no complaints here.
Why the 522 over thr 521? Considering the 522 is about double the price.
@@CookingJoeFoods it supports higher wattage appliances for the AC outlets and I think the USB C ports are higher wattage as well to charge laptops faster. Equipment running on AC power tends to spike when you first turn them on and then they settle into a lower consumption. This would allow the equipment to spike significantly higher and run some higher wattage appliances. Up to you.
Hello Professor, I'm new to your channel and new to the portable power generators. Can you possibly do a review of: Oukitel CN505 Portable Power Station 614 Wh Life PO4 500 Watts Pure Sine Wave. Thank you Professor. What are you general comments about this?
Hello everyone, i have a probably noob question, but still would appreciate an answer/ confirmation.
I would like to power a Pioneed Rx2 dj controler, which consumes 41w, as per official description.
I belive this should power it for a few hrs at least?
Thanks!
I bought mine on Black Friday for US$199.99 and it just arrived yesterday (12/4/21). I know the sale lasted for at least a couple of hours then because I was undecided and kept it in my cart before buying. **Anker was being Big Time cheapskates on Cyber Monday!!!**
Just opened the box and it's charging up.
.......is this sht for real sir ,???????pLESSE help and as well help the community ,or notify someone so people dont get jipped is so this ADD is a fugazee sir 😗
Thank you for the video.
The Anker 521 has similar specs to the GoLabs i200. Which is better? For $30 less at the moment on Amazon, the GoLabs has more outputs, one year less warranty, and slower charging. Otherwise, specs are similar. Either should charge a 12v fridge.
Do you still recommend the AC200MAX, and do you think price will go down before Christmas? Mike Chandler Az
Its $159 for Prime Day...might get one..
Mine died 2 years ago with light use. Watch my current video for better choices.
I know time is relative, but what % of C do I need to be traveling for 1 hour to = 2 months???
88mph?
@@donatzerodayslife HA! ZzzzziING!
