Awesome video and watt a great power bank. I’m getting one for sure. Love the screen and app
I've been using it more and more! Great battery
The Mix-A-Lot reference did. It go unoticed. 😂😂
Awesome battery bank too!
Haha 😏
@@beardfm I like big battery banks and I can not lie. All you other techies can’t deny, that when a block thing with energy comes in, that you are buying it up, here’s my credit card pin…
great review…mine is coming tomorrow!!
Nice! Hope you enjoy it!
It's crazy how I watch ten seconds of this video and already want to watch the whole thing
Appreciate that!
banger mate, thanks :)
Appreciate it!
Great video.
Thanks!
A very well-detailed review! You did great work reviewing this power bank. I have a question. I bought the power bank with a lighting-fast charge of 27W for my iPhone 12 Pro Max. When I connect my phone to my Anker charger, it only shows 6.5W output. Why's that? And when I connect it to my Macbook Air, it’s only 30W output, not 60W. Should I get an exchange? I’ll greatly appreciate the help.
Thank you! And what cables are you using when charging! The iPhone requires a USB-C to Lightning cable to charge quickly
They’re back in stock with the 240W model, finally, after almost a year.
Yup! I got it delivered next day!
Aaaaand they're out of stock again 😂
"I like big batteries and I can not lie"
Thank you for acknowledging the reference 😉
Is this also a GaN charger like Apple's 140W charger? Does the Anker 750 have surge protection like Apple's? Thanks.
I believe it uses GaN technology to fit into the size casing, but I'm not familiar with the Anker 750
With fully charged this power bank can we 100% full charge macbook pro 16inch ?
I don't think it'll get a 16-inch to 100%. It for my 14-inch M3 Pro to 97%, but that's also with a light workload (web browsing and note taking). If you're editing video while charging on the Prime battery it won't charge it to full since the MacBook is using more power.
I have had both the old version and new of this power bank they don't output 140w from one port. Maximum 100w if that. Bit disappointing for the price. Does not adequately power a 130w device, eg what I use it for which is a Levnovo X1 Extreme. I would make sure you get it from a retailer where you are able to return it if it can't charge your device
Interesting, not sure if I have a device that will pull more than 100W from the battery but will try and test!
Hi, will the power bank charge the alienware M18, thanks
I don't have that to test specifically, but it charges my M3 Pro MacBook Pro without issue.
@@beardfm thank you... so it also should charge a M18 again thnz
Well, not reaaaaaaly a wireless charging base, it has conductive pins to charge the battery from the base, much like cordless phones fro 20 years ago. It's not using Qi charging, so not "wireless charging" in the common definition. These are also only good for 300 charge cycles, then Anker says you should dispose of the battery bank. That seems quite low, given many modern competitors.
I mean, even Qi is not reaaaaaaly wireless either. Magnetic coils are just hidden inside 😏
@@beardfmThe transfer of electrons using Qi or other inductive charging, happens without contact, just like a modern electric toothbrush or shaver that charges inductively. You can separate the two with an air gap and it will still charge.
The Anker requires a physical, electrical connection to charge. It's just a charging cradle, but not a wireless charging cradle. It's an important distinction because you can't take the Anker battery bank and plonk it on top of a real wireless charger and make it work.
But your point is valid, even wireless chargers require a wire to the wall (unless it's a battery bank with Qi charging, like an OmniCharge).
i just got this for my meta Quest 3 so i can use it for more than 2 hours
Using mine with Vision Pro 😏
can. I bring this as a carry on item on plane ? FAAS approved ?
Yes you can! It's just under the max
thanks for the speedy reply!

How do I get that shirt though
Here! cottonbureau.com/p/R7TPS4/shirt/buy-your-mom-an-iphone#/15491865/tee-men-standard-tee-vintage-black-tri-blend-s
Wiil not continuously discharge at 200-250W without overheating & shutting down without warning. Display is inaccurate. Low power mode cannot be shut off & have to wait hours for unit to disable low power mode. Too many bugs & glitches for the price.
Wow that’s unfortunate, has not been my experience
Even as such in a warmer environment it is the highest outputting powerbank in mass market production, not referring to power station
My Anker 737 Power Bank (PowerCore 24K) refuses to charge some devices. Either shows a UVP error or constantly resets the port. One would think the 2nd gen would have smoothed out the wrinkles, but it sounds like it is worse?
Can you leave his in a car trunk in the summer time?
You can, but heat is a battery's enemy. So the hotter it stays for prolonged periods of time, then less capacity it will have over time.
No basketball people will steal it
Good 👍 ASS job Brudda ✌.
Appreciate it!
*250W
Can you charge a MacBook Pro from 0 to 100%?
It depends if you're under heavy workload, but just browsing the web, it will get to 95% or higher from a single charge on this battery.
Pure garbage in the same sense they’ve taken knobs out of cars and replaced them with screens. Just give me ports and simple screen and one button.
Only 300 cycle of lifetime. Do not buy it
Where did you get that information? I keep seeing this claim on other videos and RUclips comments with no hard evidence (yet). I’d love to know what this 300 cycle metric means. Does it mean down to 80%, 70% or 60% remaining capacity? Does it mean a software lock of the battery? It is super vague to say a battery only gets 300 cycles when you don’t know what that definition is. A battery is still useful after a manufacturer’s tested cycle range, i.e., a lithium ion battery will still work at 40% remaining capacity even though the manufacturer states that 80% remains after 200 cycles. What’s more is high quality li-ion batteries will slow down in rate of degradation the more degradation there is.
According to the spec sheet for the old 140W power bank cells, it can retain at least 60% capacity after 300 cycles of fast charging and discharging. Assuming you use 6 cells the way Anker implemented in the battery, I estimate the fast charge to be equivalent to about 150W and discharge to be about a whopping 700-800W (only estimated because I’m lazy).
Again assuming the cells are packed in Anker’s battery, the spec sheet shows test results of at least 80% capacity remaining when charging at about 20W and discharging at about 100W. This is 100% achievable in the real world if you do a slow charge and occasionally charge a laptop. I don’t think most people owning this battery would exclusively charge a laptop every single time. Since the spec sheet states these cycles from a true full to empty and vice versa, you could probably push 500 cycles realistically if you keep the battery between 10-90% state of charge. My phone still has about 85% capacity after over 600 cycles just by keeping it between 15-85%.
There isn’t a tear down of the 250w battery yet, but it makes sense that the cycle specs for the 250W cells would outperform the 140W cells.
If you are worried about 300 cycles of almost 100Wh, you must be some kind of power user because I can’t discharge my
Why are you still promoting a company that has not been honest with its customers with their Eufy products and services. They outright lied to customers about security and then tried to cover it up.
Anker is a little complicated in its different brands and departments. I don’t recommend Eufy cameras and never will. But their chargers and power banks are simply the best and there is not connectivity or security concerns with these products
@@beardfmthank you for replying, but if you cannot trust their actual security department how should we trust a power component that has an app that needs me to give access to my device. I don’t think you can separate their products. If in one area a company cheats their customers how do you know that they won’t or are not currently in other areas. Their consumer morals were put to the test and they failed. You might not think Anker is doing anything wrong but you just promoted a product that has an app that I can then give them access to my device. I still do not agree with you promoting a product where the parent company has been shown to have questionable morals on security and personal data/video.
@@beardfmI agree with this sentiment in general.
We know that Anker and its subsidiary companies are under significant scrutiny and after their breach of trust, have done a lot to recover trust.
Not sure I’ll ever purchase a eufy device but I’m good with the Anker Charging and Battery Bank devices..for now.
@@priorsnowboardingyou don't need the app to use it, you don't trust that then don't use it also it is asking to be able to detect the charger using the antennas of the phone and searching for a signal then connecting directly to it when using it
Bro, it’s a freaking power bank.
