[@olando1187]

Great review. Wished I saw it before buying the 733 for a trip a few weeks ago. It works for what I need. Carrying a charger for my phone for a day of traveling and watching movies. Keep up the good work!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for watching. If it works nothing wrong with that.

[@abrahamgoodman536]

Too honest for nowadays reviews. Kudos to you sir.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks. It is all data.

[@frp1276]

If you've considered teardown videos showing us why the devices overheat you get my vote. I'd watch them. My use case for purchasing the cheap Anker is my mother in law is unable to manage multiple devices and does not care about efficiency or charge performance (with reason). For this it works perfectly. All she needs is the unit and one cable to handle her iphone in all situations.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, for a phone, these will do the trick, certainly not pushing any efficiency records. Any of these, mostly the 511 as a simple device, are made for that use.

[@fairulm4184]

Thank you so much. Honesty is rare thses days. You have it.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks! I appreciate that.

[@Loki6451z]

liked and subscribed. highly technical and quick review.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks! and Enjoy!

[@adityaveera3055]

Nice video as always. On a side note for the Anker 733, it is technically mentioned in one of the product photos on Amazon that it only charges at 65w when plugged in, but it’s worded poorly - “Charge at full speed via the wall charger” There’s also an image in the product description that shows how the power is split in both single and multi-port connections for both battery mode and power adapter mode.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks! I missed that in the rush to get the video out, hah.

[@TheStopwatchGod]

yeah but that image is all the way down at the bottom of the listing

[@MassaKingWOfficial]

Thanks for the thorough review!

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

My pleasure!

[@YukonHawk1]

It's amazing how all the manufactures can have winners and big clunkers amongst their product line ups. Quality control and power claims are as wide as the Grand Canyon. Good to know you can expose their hits and misses. Thank you.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, these products just didn't go in the right direction.

[@macktheinterloper]

So the old adage is right - jacks of all trades, masters of none. Thanks for the detailed review.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

mmhmm, thanks for watching! I was not surprised but I had hope still.

[@familyohlwiler943]

First off, wonderful content. There is a class of user out there that is concerned with efficiency of charging vs. time. That is my primary concern. I am a hiker, I want to arrive at an outlet and spend the least amount of time grabbing energy. I don't care about time to complete charge, I care about time until charging taper begins. Maybe time to taper and percent of overall capacity could be presented. I do this in my own testing, so I know it can be a little tedious to gather the data, just a thought.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, this group of adapters/power banks were pretty bad. I have charts for the discharge (when they don't shutdown randomly halfway though, which these did constantly). But, my power analyzer for all its capability just logs overall watt hours and time not over a time step. So, you can't see when the charging state changes, it is just an accumulator. I do check it, to find out when charging stops though. So, I could at least make a note of the time when charging starts to slow down.

[@nathanvanlieshout7834]

You do these tests so good. I'm waiting for a good power bank. My current one I have on me is Baseus 10,000mAh 22.5w PPQD2-10C I'd love something better

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, there's so much out there. I need to start testing a lot more of them.

[@alicesremedy9161]

I agree. They're inconveniently big for a power adapter and inconveniently weak for a power bank, and I prefer to have a separate charger and separate power bank myself as well.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks!

[@StevieFQ]

I actually thought this sort of device would be a good idea. Most power adapters have poor idle performance so adding a battery to have it effectively zero out while using very little power seems like a useful usecase. Didn't expect the implementation to be so packed with issues.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I did expect more also.

[@merjaymermanph]

I have both. And i love them. The smaller one, i use it in my short trips. The bigger one is when i have work related travel which let me use laptop and iPad’s usage. 😅

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for sharing.

[@capra2935]

Hello. I recently purchased this product while being unaware of its flaws (that’s on me, should’ve researched more thoroughly, though it’s holding up well for my daily use case). I was just wondering if it would be okay to leave it plugged into an outlet 24/7 whenever I’m home, or if that would cause any problems with safety/longevity? Informative video btw

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, the Anker drops into a low power mode once the battery is fully charged, it will keep charging it but hopefully it has some software limit on how often it does that, so it'll be cyclical as opposed to trickle charge which will destroy the battery really fast. I would hope that it is really designed for the first case since it is a power adapter also. The only issue I see is that the lithium ion may lose some life being held at 100% charge all the time, probably not as much as deep cycling the battery though.

[@adorkablemikey]

I wish I saw this video before jumping on getting the 733. It was in my wishlist for the longest time cause of the good track record I have with anker but I should have done the research and checking of reviews.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I'm probably too mean in this one too. I tend to be overly critical of power banks for some reason. If it charges your devices and works for you then its okay, even if it is a little less efficient.

[@Icanfigureitoutintime]

Than you for the video. Would be great if they could include a switch to control battery charge for use as a device charger only to avoid using battery life charges and or cooking the bank batteries

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, it is starting to get the point where they need to be a bit smarter.

[@AakashLohia1992]

Can i use the 733 in India where the power input is 220 v usually from the mains? (as opposed to 110v in the US)

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I am not sure on that one. I got rid of that power bank. Anker's website should state the input voltage it supports though.

[@HaHa-ly4rj]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. as LTT wouldnt show performance details like these. Although they have dropped anker because of the eufy controversy.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

You are welcome. I think LTT provides huge datasets when new graphics cards arrive and stuff like that but for products like this they are a bit out of their comfort zone. They have the equipment now but using it is the next question. The Eufy camera thing is awful but I somewhat think it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that a company is taking your information.

[@DX88]

They're currently building a giant testing lab including a giant power supply tester, which will improve their testing capabilities massively.

[@elyt]

Hi! I have a question about the 30W version of the Anker 511 charger. Do you think they're using the cylindrical Lithium batteries or the flat ones like in our smartphones?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I believe it is a cylindrical cell, 21700 size is my best guess.

[@elyt]

@@AllThingsOnePlace I think so too. I had to ask you since you have experience in this field and you have teardown some Anker products before so, Thank you so much. I really appreciate the quick response 🙏 Subbed!!

[@moezb]

Does the 733 recharge at the same rate whether or not it is charging other devices? Or will it charge even more slowly in that case?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

If you are using this as a power adapter and using the full 65W, it will charge the battery slower, if you aren't using that whole power budget it will probably not be noticeable.

[@FinnEST90]

I bought the baseus 45W 2in1 Charger almost 2 years ago and am Charging all my Notebooks (3 different lenovo ultrabooks) and other devices with this since then, even in battery mode, with no problem. Maybe the old charge is better than the new one. As far as i can tell, the charger works pretty well. I am surprised your test results are so bad

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It did work in the tests, it is not very efficient though, the tests are pretty heavily weighted towards performance. In battery mode, it does not output continuously. If your devices are compatible with lower voltage inputs it would keep charging but the power level decreases through the charge. As a power adapter, for 45 watts it's also just poor efficiency.

[@paoc4818]

I sometimes leave my anker 2-in-1 plugged into the wall is it safe to do that given that it has a battery inside? Thanks in advance

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

So, perspective, all electronic devices carry some degree of risk. Batteries like lithium ion do carry more risk when at a full charge state. This device was tested to be safe and it has proper battery charging circuits so small risk but I still wouldn't use it as a regular power adapter.

[@myatko9246]

Can i use 733 as a charging adaptor for my laptop which uses a 45w adaptor?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

As a power adapter it will work at 45W. As a power bank, it won't sustain that much output.

[@TheSclare]

Many thanks for your effort. Can you review some Mcdodo products too?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I have looked at one, in the 30w video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWPVkIN8nJeMqa8 . I tend to use Anker as the 'title' product because marketing. I do need to do a dedicated Mcdodo video at some point though, the 30w charger wasn't bad.

[@artemiefedoruc3663]

I like your video, and i want to check out the ganprime 733, but the link in the video bio doesn't bring me anywhere if not on a random page of amazon full of powerbanks, it looks like I can't find it anywhere on the internet. could you kindly help me out?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I updated the link to Amazon. The links are paid links so if you purchase I get a small percentage of the purchase but it doesn't cost you any extra.

[@artemiefedoruc3663]

thank you but sadly it still opens a random page, could it be because of limitations in my country?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

@@artemiefedoruc3663 Ah yes, that does happen.

[@technicalactivity]

what product would you recommend as the best product to beat the Anker 733?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Two products as of now. Get a power adapter and get a power bank. I need to review a lot more moderate sized ones or just a lot more in general. I will keep on the lookout for combined products though.

[@adalbertoflores2341]

I recently bought anker 733, it uses it as a wall charger and it worked fine, but when I use it as a powerbank it was completely discharged, what happened?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Maybe the push and hold function (low power output) got switched on? It will drain itself in that mode.

[@FirDaus-ib4pn]

Which powerbank do you recommend that can output 65w?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The Evatronic is 60W, but it's pretty compact, the Baseus Blades can do 60W, the Anker 737 can do 60W and more. From what I've tested any of those are all fairly capable devices.

[@stellarproductions8888]

Nobody is jumping to make an affordable UPS device. True UPS's are expensive. And unfortunately, they power adapters that are hybrid power banks, seem to be absolute garbage. None of them match their claims, they play on people's inability to know the truth, because at the end of the day, money is all that matters to them. This is why we needs folks like yourself, who blow the whistle on this garbage, and let people know. You'd think our government would make companies accountable for products like this, but nope, they don't. They lie, and will continue to lie, and it will never stop until class action lawsuits are started.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I do have a couple devices that are even worse than this. The solar, light bulb, power bank, everything in one devices. Should be fun. I also have a bunch of specifically low voltage UPS devices too. My challenge on that was getting 48V for PoE devices, I think I have that solved now. But yes, I think there are a lot of bad products in between the good ones, it would be nice if a company had a much smaller product line and focused on making the smaller product line great. It is like going into a restaurant with a 100 page menu.

[@tw_judy]

Damn is it really this bad? I was looking for an EDC adapter/power bank because I kept losing my adaptors to randos at friends’ houses or while travelling. Should be good for noob use right? All the power banks I see that are positively reviewed on this channel are big ol bricks, which seem to be meant for professional videographers etc. I could not fit one of those in my purse.

[@PhilipStruthers]

at 5:59 I believe you incorrectly say "the modes include everything except 12V on the USB C ports", but on the spec sheet in the same frame 12V--1.5A is listed for USB-C Output 1 in both battery and charger modes? Was that a mistake, or did that mode not show up in testing?

[@PhilipStruthers]

I'm trying to buy this as a replacement for a 15V--2.58A output and i'm wondering if in your expertise does under currenting a laptop charger by that 0.58A have any negative unintended consequences other than the charging being slow and possibly intermittent? Or would it refuse to charge at all if the stated current isn't met or exceeded.

[@PhilipStruthers]

If the battery is at 0% on the 733 when you plug it in as a power adapter, at what point does it begin charging its internal battery or begin doing pass through charging?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I think the Anker does have 12V, that was a mistake. Habit, normally Anker doesn't have 12V mode. I don't have this charger anymore so I can't recheck it, but the notes on PQS say it has 12V. Generally, a laptop will use the battery and the charger to keep operating. The issue if not enough power is coming in the device will eventually shut down if under heavy enough load to keep pulling from both the battery and the power adapter. If the machine is idling it'll probably have no problem keeping the battery topped off and the laptop powered. The power bank starts charging immediately. The speed of charge isn't fast to begin with, but it will get slower if you max out the power adapter side. It is highly variable.

[@ok1k8888]

Hi can you do a review of Xiaomi 33W Power Bank 10000mAh Pocket Edition Pro

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks for the suggestion, I added it to the list.

[@TheZeroProject000]

If my tablet support 15 watts how does PPS bring down watts from 65w to 15w?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

If it uses the PPS mode, then it will ask for a lower voltage and current from the power adapter. The power adapter doesn't decide how much to supply, the device does. So, a 65W adapter won't force 65W in. The tablet may request 11V and 1.5Amps, and the power adapter in PPS can adjust to that setting.

[@TheZeroProject000]

I just bought this charger and I love it! I use it as a plug for my Surface Pro and a powerbank for my Samsung s23. Instead of carrying a laptop charger and a powerbank and a charger. I have this single portable device. Why are you all hating on this.. 😭😭😆😆

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Well, it's a jack of all trades, master of none. It's okay and it does work. That's one thing I am always good with, if it works for you then it's the best one.

[@fejotore]

I see the point of the vid, yet idk i think it might suit good (i just purchased it) and waiting for trying it out

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, it works fine, just know the limitations is all.

[@fejotore]

@@AllThingsOnePlace also why does 733 says on 12:35 that it's capacity is 5k mAh, when it's supposed to be 10k as advertised? maybe an error with the printing or is there something sketchy? Edit: I realized watching your vid on the anker 737 that they label their products based on the max cap a single cell has (737 has 4000 mAh but adding all the powercells it goes as advertised) so the 733 actually has 5k on a single cell, yet carries 2 so it comes out as 10k mAh power

[@mistagino]

Do these types of hybrid chargers degrade faster if used as pass-through chargers, or does using the wall outlet function bypass the internal batteries when charging something else?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

From what I could see, these all charge the battery to full and keeps it there if it plugged in. Regardless of other USB devices plugged in. You could see some issues with this long term by keeping the cells fully charged.

[@mistagino]

@@AllThingsOnePlace since it’s not going through a discharge/recharge cycle, does pass-through wall charging affect the “cycle count”, or is it constantly “cycling”?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

@@mistagino It wouldn't be constantly cycling, so no issue from that.

[@StringerNews1]

I'd argue that not having a UPS function is more of a feature than a bug. If the power goes out while charging say, a laptop, one might not have much use for a fully charged laptop while the mains-powered Wi-Fi is out. OTOH one might want that extra energy to charge up a phone, flashlight or other item that's more useful in a power outage. By stopping the USB output, the devices leave that decision up to the person who presumably knows best.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Great point! I just check to see what happens.

[@TranceFan05]

I like stringers take on this. I will say I live in a place where 3 times a year we lose power for about 3 hours. Almost Everytime we have lost wifi. There is just no power in the ground for them to send us the internet. So I resonate with what stringer says and suggested. I also wonder if it is somehow a safety feature to prevent the device from providing max wall wattage and Max power bank wattage? Idk how over power protection works though tbh.

[@mav48185]

[@renashbell1203]

Any suggestion for perfect powerbank?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Perfect, even an optimist would say there's no such thing as perfect. I have had good luck with my Anker 737 and Baseus Blade. I've only tested about 12 or so power banks so my data set isn't that big on this yet.

[@fejotore]

@@AllThingsOnePlace May i say based on your answer that as of now there's no perfect device so we have to check the data and see if it's worthy a try. I use the 733 and despite re-watching this data, i find it "good" for what it is (i mean, i needed a PBank and the added prongs to recharge is a plus). Would i buy it again in the future? 60/40 knowing that 737 is much better, but i'd say that for us it is a struggle to find a decent or good to say the least, solution for portable energy.

[@scavang3r]

6:09 “anker 65w power devices aren’t great” -why?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I should've said multiport. The 65W nano II performs better than most, really just looking at a real power usage scenario. The new 67W doesn't make any improvement over older adapters on this front. The USB tech is better, but as power a power supply no better. I pretty much say that about all 65W power adapters though. Certainly, opinion, if it is the perfect adapter for you, then go for it.

[@salemalmasoud2797]

thank you

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

You're welcome

[@Chukonu5]

My concern is that the batteries in these products will likely degrade faster than a dedicated battery bank because they will be exposed to more heat from the integrated power adapter.

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

it'll be ok don't worry

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It's more likely to degrade from being kept at full charge sooner than heat issues.

[@Ben610]

Would like to see Portable Power Stations tested. EcoFlow, Jackery, Anker.

[@TheStopwatchGod]

Sadly ATOP is still likely unable to afford buying them for now. Maybe in a few months to a year

[@fakamada]

Agreed. Ecoflow products are the ones I'm eagerly waiting for.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yep, still on the long way out list. I have had emails from Ecoflow offering stuff but I don't think I can do that. Free product is a sponsor if you ask me so you have to be nice. If I go the sponsor route, it will be for non-conflicting things. Going that route will help the channel get into larger and more expensive products like that though.

[@fakamada]

@@AllThingsOnePlace That is a good point. From a viewer perspective, we assume that nothing is wrong with a product, sent by the company itself. But there seem to be no way to review it on a standard basis. Hope someone buys and sends it to you first. I would gladly do this if I was in your country. Let's wait for a volunteer.

[@kendelion]

I just bought the Anker 733 and I was dissapointed it maxes out at 40w on my laptop with 90w PD 20v 4.5A. Anker 733 shows Slow Charging and chargers my laptop @30w normal use, 40w under stress. I contacted Anker about it and they sen tme a replacement, but testing it shows the same performance. Charging 2 iphone 12/13 and one Galaxy maxes out at 35-40w. Never seen the battery go beyond 40w. Very disappointed and is thinking of RMAing the product

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, as a battery it is way lower power, both charging and discharging.

[@kendelion]

@@AllThingsOnePlace I check it both plugged and unplugged. Plugged it only maxed out at 40w, Unplugged it gives my laptop 20w. I also tried it with various devices I have like a gopro, apple watch and another powerbank and it won't go beyond 40w, both of the Anker 733 are useless in my use case so I asked to get a refund for the 733 and bought the 737 instead. Maybe that'll be better for me :)

[@mooneagle9028]

Any decent 2 in 1 power bank and adapter to recommend? or a good 10000-20000mah 30w+ non-bulky good power bank to recommend? Idk what should I be buying now

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

The Anker 733 is the best of this bunch. It is also the best one I have seen so far. I have a lot more to look at though so I really don't know yet. Power banks are a huge market and I've only scratched the surface.

[@billythygoat]

Another good thing to review could be cheaper, about $50 battery backups all the way to the $100+ UPS Battery backups with sign wave protection. Many of them tend to stink and are not the best to program either.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, for AC UPS I tend to go with higher end products only. The low end stuff just isn't worth it. It is a good video topic though. It can be a whole series, there is so much to cover. Like Mr. Carlsons lab showing the transformer that was wound with aluminum wire and not even crimped. I am working on a video on the low voltage UPS's though. Basically, always on power banks, they all look pretty bad so far.

[@JoshuaG]

Hi , will that Anker 733 be enough to juice up a USB-C laptop , not a full charge , but enough energy to get by Also i've been seeing some "Type-C to Barrel Jack" adapters to support older laptops with their barrel jack ports , are those even legit ? if so , can someone point me a link to video where i can see their testing methods ?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I'm using the barrel adapter right now so yes they work. You may have to do a little research to make sure the voltages are compatible. I test some of them in round 3 of USB cables. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHWYqpuLgbt9mtE

[@scottleggejr]

You summarize this whole video well @ 8:38 while weighing the devices. I never understood who/why someone would buy this where you couldn't use a battery, cable and brick and upgrade indepently of each other? These things seem terrible at all of their functions. Slow charging (input), slow charging (output) and inefficient and noisy. I don't find any of the baseus devices appealing. I give them kudos at keeping anker in a price battle for people who don't watch your videos. 🤣🤣

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, sometimes, one extra cable is just too much. For me, they'll be separate devices.

[@valor1630]

[@IvanHunglin]

Why combine a charger and a portable battery together? A portable battery is supposed to be light.

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

No idea. But they did it and they aren’t great. Haha.

[@Sir_Tanooki_Dookie]

The Anker 733 clearly states the different charging stats while plugged in a wall outlet versus using battery storage; but your results valid. The chipset in the 733 dictates the power output based on many factors like if it is plugged in or not, the charge state of the device, and if tickle mode is needed. But I do wonder if you know if the 733 can charge its battery faster while plugged into a wall outlet and using a wall wart usb-c to usb-c into the input usb-c port on the 733 to charge its internal battery faster? Do you know if it supports this feature?

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

I'm not sure, I actually sold this one, actually all of these. So, I can't check it.

[@DX88]

Pretty strange how Baseus makes some awesome normal chargers but this product absolutely sucks. Good to know not everything made by Baseus is the same quality.

"When you want to use it as a battery, and this isn't anywhere in the marketing material, this device isn't a 65W device, it is a 30W powerbank. That's sad, you got fooled and so did I." Did you even read the title of the item you bought? Or scroll down the page at all to know that it's only 30W unplugged? A whole lot of good a review is when you just say whatever you want without doing any research.

Thank you for the critique. I agree with you. I did include that bit knowing that it would cause some reaction. The fact is the banner specifications are up front and in your face, they say 65W, if you look on Anker's web site, the 'charging guide' is the only place you see this and it is confusingly presented and a long ways down the page. Then for specs it literally says 65W max right below that. One more line and I wouldn't have said anything. For example, 65W Plugged in, 30W on Battery. The data is there but it isn't written clearly. I could've worded the statement more nicely in the video for sure but striking a little emotional response, even if it is a negative one, is sometimes a goal. Sorry to disappoint on this one.

​@@AllThingsOnePlace I was more referring to the Amazon listing, Anker doesn't seem to be all that great at giving information on their own. They've given 3 answers about whether the 733 can charge itself while acting as a wall charger "No it can't", "Yes it can", and "Yes, but only after the other device is fully charged". The last bit wasn't directed entirely at this video, moreso an accumulated frustration after a few hours of getting mostly wrong information regarding the Steam Deck/ROG Ally's batteries and how "The battery says 40w so it must be 10,810mAh, there's no way it could be anything else." It seems we'll never move past the point where people use volts, amps, and watts interchangeably.

Why those products even exist? Its not like the brands put effort in P&D, both baseus and Anker have great PB's and chargers

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

It's funny I got one comment saying what's the point and another saying these are great within minutes on this video. But it's convenience I guess.

No idea how.

I CANNOT support Anker

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Yeah, should it be a surprise they stole information? I don't think so. Still not acceptable behavior. Anyway, it doesn't look like these ones are very good as power banks or power adapters so not much more reason to support them.

Hey Dr Juice great power bank vids, any chance would you do a video about the Iniu BI-B5 20,000 power bank, it's very popular & has great features 20W usb c in & out digital display, efficiency?? How about a test on the Iniu 30W USB C & A Power Adapter, I have 1 & I really like it as it supports PD, PPS, AFC, QC compatible with lots of different devices! ⚡️🔌🔋🤘🏽🇨🇦

[@AllThingsOnePlace]

Thanks, yeah, I think I have the power bank and the power adapter here already. I need to make an inventory list again... I need to start making asset tags or something, ha.
