[@dougamolina]

After seeing your analysis, a bought a 65w charger, and a 10A 20w powerbank both from Baseus to charge all my devices while i travel Brazil from south to north. Those work beautifully, and are lightweight, which is nice since all i carry is a 40l backpack. Thanks for those videos!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

mm, yeah that seems like a decent pairing. I still have to test that power bank but I think others have tested that one and it does well.

[@LordAshura]

This is a more than fair review. I got the 240w knowing that it may not be the most efficient charger for day-to-day use. But it's a perfect travel charger for my needs as I have a lot of devices that I need to charge including portable fans from the low power USB-A input. I have friends I usually travel with, and the outlets can run out quick. When you have a phone, a smartwatch, a battery bank, and a laptop, this thing comes in handy. I took it out for a trip this weekend and it makes it easier to manage with less overall chargers to carry.

[@HudsonK-nq5yy]

Regarding last year's model for the Anker 100w, I've seen comments that some power cables are larger and the ports on last year's model are closer together, so that can be an aspect of last year's model that people might want to stay away from.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for watching!

[@HansPeter-ft9hx]

The "restarts charging half way through" part on the new adapters is what grinds my gears. It happens with Apple Watch for example. Stops charging. Restarts charging. Repeat. Charging then takes twice as long. Also, I have a use-case not many people have. I use a USB charger as a power source for my CPAP (breathing) machine, since its power supply is just huge and heavy. It requires 24v, and I got a USB 20v PD trigger + 24v step-up connected to my breathing machine. If the USB power supply interrupts due to some nonsense, I don't stop breathing for a while. Not life threatening, but not good. I understand they don't advertise this as a medical device, I just don't get why the old adapter is capable of supporting it, yet the new one is not to save 10g. Also, Ankers' information regarding which devices support what is quite horrible. Still looking for a better 3 port, ideally all USB-C, 65-100w travel adapter (already carrying enough with my machine) that 100% supports my use-case. :-( And thanks a lot for your reviews, they are quite eye-opening.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, renegotiation was better on the previous year devices from Anker. Someone else had commented the 100W works with the magsafe charger now, so maybe something to do with a different charging control chip. Although I bet an apple charger works fine for both use cases.

[@HansPeter-ft9hx]

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

haha, yeah, I get that feeling too.

[@alx9r]

Given the breadth of uses and electrical characteristics of USB-PD there’s not even really a “typical” use case for USB power anymore for such a general-purpose adapter to be designed for. The Universal in USB applies to the standard and definitely does not apply to almost any component. A more accurate adjective perhaps would have been “composable” or “modular” rather than “universal.”

[@ishinfinity3336]

Thank you for your work

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

You are very welcome

[@michaelpaolini]

The App for the 240W allows you to configure charging modes (smart dynamic allocation & a mode recommended for high power equipment. This may solve the wig problem you mentioned. It also allows firmware update, and scheduling of when the ports are on and off. It also graphs and lets you set display modes. For me the 240w is my new travel charger as I travel with a lot of demanding devices: DJI Air3 who’s battery hub charges at 100w, hand held video camera (35w), MacBook Pro (up to 140w), iPads (30w), iPhone/watch/headphones 3 way charger, Anker battery bank (140W) + my wife’s stuff. So more ports is always better, and more port faster is also often better since when shooting video and photos, timing is everything. The built in read out is really welcome in helping to figure out what is going on, and the surge protection is an extra layer of peace of mind given the cost of what is plugged in.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks, yeah, I looked at the description for this one and the mode switching is not an advertised app feature. That is on the 250W charger though. I don't see any reason why this one wouldn't have it too though, so maybe a failure in the advertising, but then in that case the story changes to it doesn't work with the button, where the 250W has a button to do that mode change. In terms of scheduling, that could be useful and is pretty cool. Wow, that is a lot of devices, so having the extra ports makes sense. Several of those are low power devices too so the USB A ports are useful as well.

[@carloscervantes836]

Glossy plastic on a device you constantly touch is up there on stuff that causes me deep despair.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

haha me too.

[@petr-cze]

Yea it's baffling, I just don't understand why companies feel the urge to use glossy plastic - it gets immediately dirty, if you try to clean it gets scratched (but usually it's already scratched from the factory) and on top of that it almost always makes the manufacturing process more complicated while not improving anything - these adapters would be much better without the cheap-looking glossy parts.

[@RMSmath]

Thanks for taking the time to make great content. Looking forward to the review of the new 250W GanPrime to see if it should replace my older 240W. It'd be the perfect opportunity to pitch it against that Baseus 240W you've been sitting on because of their similarities ;) When you get a chance, of course :)

The amount of products Anker releases and updates over time is admittedly quite impressive. Things went from basic to compact to high power to both and all sorts of power ranges. And thanks for reviewing what they're actually up to.

[@RMSmath]

Yeah, it’s crazy much now but they did spend quite some time with just one or no multiport charger over 65W a few years ago, and they were also a little late to the GaN party. Back then Aukey and RavPower were still alive… RIP haha

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

The 100W GaN portable is perfect for carrying around to fast charge your devices. I travel with two of them. Each adapter has 2 USBC ports. The power station I have mixed feelings about. First of all, their prices exceed $150 which means they are less economical than simply buying a $5 power strip and bringing individual charging bricks with you. For travelers you'll still need a travel adapter for most countries because the socket types are so different. Whilst in Bali recently, I went to a hardware store and bought a cheap TYPE F grounded power strip with 3 outlets which even had 2 USB ports and 1 USBC port. For devices you don't need to rapid charge (headphones, smartwatch, etc) that little strip was more than perfect. In Singapore, they used TYPE G, but the hotel room not only gave me multiple TYPE G sockets but a nifty usb port as well. The ANKER power station is cool, but the price is high and its adapter is bulky. When you have multiple high-load devices charging simultaneously, the Anker looses some steam.

[@luckinber]

Love your work. I'd be interested in a video covering what you imagine the ideal supply to be and what might stop an engineering firm making it (aside from price I guess). It feels like with every new release there's tradeoffs galore. I'm not an electrical engineer but I do work in electronics manufacturing and all the engineers around me work so hard to reduce tradeoffs. I just want someone to build a fantastic charger that will last a long time and I would pay 3-4x what these cost.

[@jjptech]

Can someone Please explain what the heck is Power IQ, and Why Anker keeps telling that it is a fast charging protocol while NO NONE seems to implement it?

[@KellyWu04]

It seems to be Anker’s own semi-proprietary implementation of USB Power Delivery and Qualcomm Quick Charge. I don’t think it supports SuperVOOC.

[@amalayum]

@@KellyWu04 Yeah it does not support SuperVOOC and it is simply just a chip that swaps between QC, PD and PPS as far as I know.

[@omicrondec]

I'm wondering the same

[@jakegreen6341]

FWIW since I haven't seen any of the other comments mention it, the app can actually control priority for the ports as well as remotely shutoff the AC ports as well. I wish they would integrate the pogo pins for the 100W base charger for the 20,000 and 27k power banks into this as well

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I'm surprised there hasn't been an upgrade to that.

[@chrisjohnson583]

Super curious if anyone has used these (100w new or old version) with Anker's split USB-C power cord. I need to charge a lot of lower powered devices while on the road and the ability to split 1 usb-c port into 2 cables to charge say, airpods, iphone, battery bank and hearing aids all at once is appealing... and then use the full single port power to charge my laptop is very appealing. Basically 1 dual port charger that I can split 4 ways to charge lower powered devices and then whole hog it to my laptop when needed. Anyone have an opinion?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The A2343 stayed on at 100W for an hour (it got very hot though). The newer one is longer and slimmer, and overall volume is smaller.

[@industrial-wave]

@AllThingsOnePlace great to know, thank you! That is a substantial difference! Do you know what temp it reached by chance? If no, then no need to pull it out again, all good lol. Out of curiosity, why wasn't the time at 100w not mentioned in the end of year recommendations when you picked it? Iirc it wasn't mentioned, could be wrong

[@handcoding]

7:27 - Could you elaborate on how big of a deal it is that this adapter has trouble with USB negotiation for 28v mode? Like, is 28v mode a common thing to need, in your opinion?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

There's a few power banks and the macbook pro 16" that can take advantage of this extra mode. If you don't have it, they won't not work, they'll just be slower charging. I think like many of the things in the power adapter space, each piece of the puzzle is unique and matters in a different way to each person using the device. If you don't have any of those 140W power devices, then as a multiport 20V adapter this seems fine.

If I use the 100watt charger to charge my laptop, will it stop charging after 30 mins or it will restart charging immediately like a flicker? Also when the laptop is fully charged, will it be able to provide necessary power to the laptop to run on the brick for a long time? It won't be drawing 100watts all the time as per as I assume. (My laptop can be charged with 100watt pd but has a 180watt acutal charger)

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It should switch to a lower power mode, there will be a brief power interruption. Different laptops deal with this differently. My HP doesn't do anything, the tiny charge indicator LED on the side just turns off then back on. But yeah, I don't have a laptop that can use 180W peak, so you may run into issues with heavy use. Any basic tasks, web browsing, watching youtube, should have no issues at all.

what would you recommend for a ~100W+ charger that doesn't shutoff (I suppose throttling to ~90W is fine, if it can do that indefinitely) Or do these only shutoff for a few seconds then do fine? (I commented on losing performance/charging under load in the short, but something that could be annoying if using these with a laptop is they could change to a power saving mode during the shutoff/restart and some laptops flicker the screen to change refresh rate / or just kinda stutter in general)

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I generally stop the full power test around an hour. Depending on the environment, it may throttle to 65W power level after a long period of time. They really aren't designed for long term use, one basic rule is double the wattage of your continuous needs. So, about 150W adapter is going to be more able to supply 75w all the time.

[@timmark4190]

You are all over the place. Your descriptions seems very detailed but when you listen its vague. Sorry if I sound negative. I view your videos many many times to just understand it. Even then I come out confused whether to buy or not

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, I've toned the language down a bit, trying to be 'nice'. The review style is often rushed, get through as much as possible in a short of a time as possible, which especially if you skip around, you will hear it's good, it's bad, it's good... But that is because of it's completeness, each product is often good at some things and bad at some things, and I mention both the good and the bad. I do often leave that final decision up to you. It is certainly niche content and it constantly evolves to try to be more complete overall but it can certainly be confusing so you are correct for sure.

[@edgarrodriguez3607]

Thank you for your reviews. Do you have any recommendation for an iphone 16 pro max charger? I just recently bought the Anker 100w and have been trying so many chargers but can't seem to find the right amps/voltage that'll be ideal for ip16max

[@adilali484]

Hi what charger would be best for the dji Air 3 and thank for the amazing video

[@muhammadirfanshafique2784]

Anker is best charger. I m using this brand since last 7 years

[@tpobiena]

what are your recommended charging stations with ac sockets?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

A power strip and a good USB adapter separate. Anker certainly hasn't shown anything in this category. I have the new Baseus to check out but otherwise haven't really looked at enough of these. The UGREEN ones were checked but I don't remember those being great either.

[@sriraghavt]

You're only reviewer who tested the weight balance claim Anker made along with extensive other tests, made me immediately subscribe, also all the oscilloscopes made me feel nostalgic about my UG Electronics labs. I have Anker 737 120w adapter and I use an extension cord whenever I travel as doesn't sit at all in universal sockets in hotels. Curious have you tested how the new one handles the universal socket with all three ports being used?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks! The new 100W adapter if you load it up with cables falls out just like the others. I do what you do, short extension or a power adapter with a cord.

[@sriraghavt]

@AllThingsOnePlace Alas, then still not functionally improved! Thanks for the response.

[@guyfriends1843]

Could you include a short review on the Anker 167.5w car or even a comment would do. What does the idle consumption look like how long can it go while under load and charging modes?

[@ZarkTheShark44]

thank you for your help and knowledge, it's greatly appreciated. I subscribed as I'm finding your channel extremely informative as I'm just starting to buy peripherals and need a good powerful desktop charger, that hopefully looks good, and we'll do the trick as it sits under my coffee table for now. I'm using the, new I guess, Ugreen 160 W Nexode Pro (paid $101 inc. 12% tax) for my iPhone 14/16 Pro Max's and future MacBook or iPad, but it's small and gets hot. I got it six weeks ago so I think it's too late to return, will use it for travel I guess unless you think it's adequate, I want something more permanent with more power, even though it would be overkill now, it won't be so much when I'm finished my set up, as I don't plan on replacing it anytime soon. Also curious on your advice of a power bank I just picked up, the latest UGREEN 200W 25,000 mHa model (paid $140 plus tax, reg $180). How do you think it stacks up compared to Anker's Prime 27,650 mHa version (currently 200+ tax on sale, reg. $250)? Or even UGREEN's 48,000 mHa badboy haha, although I won't be able to take that on flights. lol Yeah I know it's overkill, I can get it for 160 CAD inc. tax, less than all the others.

Does the 2688 model support PPS mode? I couldn't find any mention of this feature on either the website or the manual, although I noticed the 2343 model does have PPS capability written on the manual. A very comprehensive review. Appreciate it.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It has 11V-5A PPS.

[@CavynVonDeylen]

@@AllThingsOnePlaceseems like versions released after November 2024 have been updated to include 20V PPS

[@David.Luyeye]

Hello, Which charger adapter would you recommend to recharge anker 548 power bank with maximum speed of 60 watts, and possibly charge a dell laptop usb c (not both at the same time) all in a safe manner?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I'd go for one of the 100 watt ones. The reasoning for that is you won't be maxing out the charger so therefore it will operate cooler and last longer.

[@caspianwerner-zq8cw]

Good reviews

[@gottun]

What about the voltage for use the 240W charging station? is there multivoltage (110-240v)??

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It will support higher voltages.

[@gottun]

@@AllThingsOnePlace i buy the anker prime 8 in 1 240w charging station and in the box and the power brick the ac input is labeled with 110v. I'm very confused about the ac input voltage, anker people say that is multivoltage...

[@timmark4190]

In the packaging it says input can be 240 V but in the back it saws125 V. So does it support 240V

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It does support 240v in.

[@AliSatchu]

I have been watching your videos for a while. Thank you. Can you recommend a portable battery bank? I have a Hyper Shop battery, which is bulky but excellent. I am looking for something portable for iPad Pro and iPhone 15. What would you recommend?”/

[@cz1924]

why is the new one IQ3 while the old one has IQ4?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Not sure. The rumor, and it's only that, is manufacturers switched to less capable but cheaper in house developed USB chips.

[@G3o_]

is any diferrence between Anker 2343 vs 2688 with same 100w power?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It's in this video.

[@gottun]

I was thinking in get the 8 in1 anker 240w power strip, but after i see this review i not sure haha. I need a power strip for hungry devices and also a powerbank. Do you think the 8in 1 power strip and the 250w powerbank from anker are a good choice?? I really appreciate your great work, keep it doing!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

So, I rarely say no, if it's the device that meets your needs then go for it. I obviously bias my expectations around better efficiency and power transfer in general. The primary job is a power supply. The "250W" power bank is not bad though, mine does have high self discharge issues. The power strip thing is jack of all trades master of none. It functions.

[@gottun]

@@AllThingsOnePlacei understand what you say, In power strip there are not too many options with PD 3.1 (for power 140w devices) and in powerbanks my other option is the Shargeek 170, what do you think about it?

[@blxckghxst_0]

Hi, have you seen the new 100w Anker nano charger?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The single port job? Yeah, eventually it'll make it. The cheaper Anker chargers usually are cheaper for a reason. It does look very tiny and lightweight though.

[@adriftatlas]

Yeah, I'd still buy the old 100W one vs the new one if I needed one more. Especially because I use the 12V PDO via a DC trigger cable to power 12V devices.

[@brumby8491]

Looking to buy one to charge my phone, headlights, smartwatches, speakers and rarely a laptop. Do all these use 12 v? Do you think it's better to get the old one?

[@adriftatlas]

​@@brumby8491Most native USB-C devices don't use 12V. They mostly use 9V, 15V, and 20V. One of the the few notable exceptions is DJI drone battery chargers, which will charge slow if 12V is not supported. As most devices don't use 12V, a lot of charger brands omit it. A lot of non-USB-C networking equipment uses 12V like routers, switches, and access points. One can use a USB-C to 5.5mm DC barrel 12V PDO trigger cable with them as long as the charger supports 12V and the powered device uses less than 3A (36W). If 12V is not needed for your use case, then buy the least expensive one.

[@brumby8491]

@@adriftatlas waw thanks for the explanation! I actually got the old 100 w Anker since it's on sale. If the prongs are weak, I'll return and get the new one.

[@raulacosta6020]

Can I connect 2 ubc port to chsrge my phone or 1 is only specific for laptop only?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

They do not evenly share the power on the 100W, so yeah, they have a little computer icon on the face for the more power priority port. The flat one, I think it does let you use the ports more universally.

[@Kenzo9063]

The weird part is the brick that connects to the wall. Why can’t it be like other power strips?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

They make ones like that, but at this power level they'd have to make it thicker and you know, tech stuff...

[@tj4000aj]

Anyone know how Anker 240w charger compares to SmallRig 240W USB-C Charger, 4-Port PD3.1 GaN Fast Charger? Smallrig has 4 USB-C ports and thankfully ditches the old USB-A plug. Tempted to get it if its as good as Anker 240w which I got recently.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The Anker has an all USB C port version now. That smallrig adapter has red flags.
