Hi, nice video I have a question, can you "double" charge it and by that I mean charging it on the Anker Charging Base while charging it simultaneously with a USB-C cable which gives a total of 200w?
Do not buy you never get the 250 watts charging that is promised on the box. My amazon kindle fire takes an age to charge at 8.7 watts. Very disappointed in it. I expected more from this especially from anker.
Btw, I don't think it does pass through charging! Also the dock doesn't come as standard, you have to buy it on top. How fast can you charge it without the dock....? Just 35w?
What do you mean that's just how it works? Sincere question not trying to argue. I'm confused because I thought it says on the cable 140W, can it really transfer 240W of power?
@@LilGrimey5Star Speculation: I believe the reason why Anker labeled the cable as 140W is to prevent confusion. One might falsely assume that the power bank is also compatible with 240W charging through a single port. Anker also needed to differentiate their cable from the 100W max ones. Now some technical stuff: USB PD 3.0 is limited to 100W max (20V * 3A). What Anker is using for 140W charging is USB PD 3.1 which supports additional 28V, 36V and 48V (28V*5A=140W and 48V*5A=240W). A charger and device that officially supports PD3.1 may use any of these three voltages, but does not need to utilize all of them. On the other hand, a PD3.1 cable MUST support all voltages. It does not matter if a device like this Anker power bank is only limited to 140W, USB specifications makes it where any PD 3.1 cable is a 240W max cable. These newer cables have a chip that essentially tells the device and charger that higher voltages are supported. The previous PD 3.0 had a chip that only allowed for 5A instead of 3A. In summary, that cable is 100% capable of 240W, but has a different label that needs to differentiate itself from PD 3.0 while not misleading the consumer into thinking their device has faster charging speeds. Just because a phone may use a 60W capable USB C cable does not mean it can charge at 60W.
@@LilGrimey5Star Anker is probably not trying to cause confusion. They needed to differentiate between the old USB PD3.0. USB specifications states that any 3.1 charger and device can use whatever charging speed they like, but a 3.1 cable MUST be compatible with 240W.
advice, use two cables to charge (usb-c1 and usb-c2) the powerbank, you will charge at full speed and the port is not gonna be to hot.
0:36 It's not wirelessly charging when you charge it via those pogo pins... There is no any kind of wireless charging on this powerbank.
Hi, nice video

I cant say its something I tried.
I’m not sure about that but you can double charge with the two usb c output/inputs
@@Arrow22 Thanks
i have tried and increased 20more w added
170W is the max (combined) power that can be pushed into it

Yeah it’s funny Amazon kindles are known for charging at 250 watts
With all of those devices charged, how long would this last you, until you need to recharge again?

Have you seen the video?
It recharged it without the dock at 140W.
Also, I have it and I can confirm it does pass through
Hello mate... How you charge the bank? With usb a to c or usb c to c?
You can charge this power bank via usb-c ports or the wireless charging port on the bottom but only if you have the charging base
That 140W cable is actually a 240W cable. That’s just how USB PD 3.1 works.

@@battery_wattage possibly but alright. I’ll test it out next week. I ordered this and it’ll be here next week. Can’t wait.
🎉🎉🎉Amazing review keep up the great work
Thank you ☺️
I'm only getting 12w on a single cable am I doing something wrong?
This guy is a good reviewer hope this asian brother blows
Thanks 😁
