Pros & Cons
Pros
Total capacity is 388 watt hours. It has a barrel connector for inbound dc charging (65-watt max), which is compatible with solar panel outputs as well as the supplied ac charger. Car socket + 5.
No issues with the battery charging from ac. Charging is a convenient factor of the device. The display shows how much power is being input while charging. The battery will reduce its charge rate if it gets too hot during charging--this is normal as w... Read More
What an awesome purchase. Don't hesitate. Steady and reliable. At 10. Wh/$, beating jackery's deal of similar models at the time (1. Wh/$) after application of a $100 coupon, i see it now offered for $359.
The anker power station is very portable, comparable to a yeti 400. It can be used as a backup power source during blackouts. Easy to use and kept the fridge going 24+ hours in 77f room.
Use case 3 is about work, but i turned it into a test for the unit's estimation accuracy and perfromance. Excellent product with zero issues. It gets two thumbs up from me based on its initial performance.
Cons
Anker customer service is garbage. Evidently it is safe for amazon to ship it to me. Good in theory but has weird eccentricities that make it annoying to use or could leave you stranded without power.
Whenever your turn it on it overloads the unit and it shuts off. This advice ment this usb type-c port problems happening a lot among purchased customer.
Highlights
Quality
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a name brand quality product.
I am overall satisfied with the purchase and would recommend it.
More details later, but for now avoid this product!
My main concerns were around charging the device: while it supports up to 125w of charging, you must use the usb c port simulta... Read More
Price
Anker is resting on their brand name a bit too much to sell this at such a high price.
But, for the price is high compared to comparable items.
Shipping
I love all of the different features, especially the fast charge usbc.
I think this is because of the battery and shipping regulations.
Packaging/appearance
If you use the 110v ac plug by turning on the dc to ac inverter you will be able to use any ac device rated at 300 watts or less.
I don't have a macbook to test the 60w usb-c power delivery (pd) claim, but while powering my thinkpad, the output hovered around 40-50w.
Competitiveness
Has a 120v plug for electrical items like a tv or speaker.
Overall quite a good value compared to the competition and i've always had good luck with anker products and support.
I hooked it up to a 500w inverter on my car and it charged at a steady 52 watts for a couple hours.
Meaning that if you're charging at 65w, and you plug in a 30w load, you'll begin charging at 35w.
