Anker 733 Power Bank GaNPrime 65W Charger Review

You can purchase this from Amazon at: amzn.to/3Q53Llh

[@integralcamerasolutions]

Hey guys, one thing I completely forgot to mention is the device comes with a soft cloth pouch to carry it in, and also a USB C to USB C cable. It is pretty short though, I immediately put them back in the box and forgot about them.

[@silverevans7763]

I bought this device from Amazon after watching this video. I really love it works very good. Quality and built is great highly recommend it.

[@integralcamerasolutions]

Thanks for sharing! I still use mine and love it.

[@ryanwwest]

Cool. Would love to see a 6 months review or something, as I've heard this type of product isn't super durable. Then again, it's Anker so I hope it holds up.

[@plasticdope]

I bought an older generation and it was much hotter than my apple 30W charger. Eventually I decided to just buy a 61W Apple charger instead, cuz I dont really like the feeling of that heat (although they said it was fine). Not sure about this new GANPrime.

[@Unstrict]

@@plasticdope ive had my anker powercore 20000 for like 5 years lol

[@plasticdope]

@@Unstrict actually, the older it is, the better it was made. Stuff nowadays tend to break after a year or two :(

[@mikeoporto6365]

I think so too man. Maybe because of its 2 in 1 mechanism? Probably hurts the battery more than typical powerbank battery with ac prongs.

[@ruben79nyc]

Looks like a very convenient device to have. Hope you're doing better and looking forward to more content from you.

[@JHCCAZ]

Thanks, this does seem to be a just-released product late July 22. One thing that you showed clearly, but the Amazon and Anker sites don't really explain, is that the AC prongs DO fold up, very nice for travel. Not sure if the European model would fold though, I think there are more restrictions on Euro plugs. Also I appreciated you stepping through the different scenarios on AC power or power bank battery only. Thanks for an informative review that didn't waste a lot of time. I will look for your dash cam videos also.

[@integralcamerasolutions]

I thought I did and that after rewatching you're right, It starts folded up, but I never actually showed folding it down hah. I must have edited that part out.

[@JHCCAZ]

@@integralcamerasolutions You did show it folding, with a click, that's why I'm thanking you for clearing that up. The official websites didn't mention this and I was looking for it.

[@integralcamerasolutions]

@@JHCCAZ Oh ok i skimmed through it so I must have missed it.

[@pedoncule36]

Does it exist with EU plug ? If no, could we use the US model with an adapter ? Thanks

[@JHCCAZ]

@pedoncule36 There doesn't seem to be a native European plug version of the 733. In fact if you search Anker Europe power banks, there isn't much listed in the 7 Series. But the good news is that it is indeed rated for 240V 50Hz input, so he should be fine with a simple mains adapter. That's how I will use it the next time I travel to Europe.

[@merjaymermanph]

I just added to card after watching all the positive reviews

[@ranimungcal]

Thanks for the actual review👍

[@PropagandaMinister]

I just received the 737, 733 with 1 765 usbc 140w cable today(03/07/23), ordered them February 20th

[@Whitepinoy]

I was looking at this once it came out thanks for the video

[@yearofthegarden]

Great detailed video. I picked one of these up on black Friday for $75 to replace my 10kmah 5v batteries that drain my a52 Samsung phone. I bought this in conjunction with a 40k mah anker battery, so it can smart charge it to extend the life of my battery investments. Something to consider since this is a 30w battery, if you are a digital artist like me, you can run a huion 16" pen display in conjunction with a fanless meLE quieter3c computer for about 25 watts. This allows me to have a compact drawing tablet anywhere I go for work. Great little anker device, a little heavy, but I bet in 5 years they will have models more stream lined. A 40,000mah with folding wall plug would be perfect.

[@juanespinoza6982]

Wow thank you it did help I want to get it and see it is was worth the money I always used anker

[@monferaigne5061]

This is only 65w when it is plugged into the wall. And only 30w when used as powerbank.

[@RiaAgarwalisawesome]

This is pretty late but what's your experience been like using it as a portable charger for the Surface? That's what I bought it for but now I'm not sure it was the best choice. My Surface lasts about 6 hours but I typically need it for about 8; how long would you say the 733 could extend the Surface's use time as a portable charger?

[@glaubhafieber]

I wonder if it comes with insulated pliers if the AC prongs break under its weight and stuck inside the outlet

[@jaminjim44]

How long does it take to charge the power bank from zero to full? Maybe you mention it got a few minutes left in the video. Great video by the way! I was just gonna buy one and trying to decide between this one and the 737, i know that one takes about a hour to charge so curious about this one

[@integralcamerasolutions]

I never got a specific time because it seems to take a few hours from empty. I tried watching a few times and always forgot and then didn't see when it finished. The 737 seems to have impressive recharging speeds, but its also quite a bit bigger and requires another PD 3.1 charger to get those speeds it seems. I'd say it will depend on if you prefer smaller size and no need for an additional charging adapter, or bigger faster charger that still requires a wall adapter. The 737 looks like something I would want for my camera/device bag.

[@jerrisonli]

While plugged into an outlet and charging through a USB-C laptop, when the laptop is fully charged, does the Anker battery starts charging itself?

[@LightsAndBikes]

Yes it charges itself after the devices you charge are no longer drawing a. Charge

[@351voltage]

Nice. Thanks for the review.

[@SendPie42069]

Can you charge the power bank through a USB C port if for some reason you can not plug it in?

[@jerrisonli]

Can you tell me if this pack can act as a UPS for a usb camera? So run the camera off of this device plugged into a wall, if we lose house AC power the camera doesn't shut off because it runs off the battery (automatically) then when AC power comes back, the pack seamlessly switches back to using AC and charges the internal battery in parallel.

[@TheLastOfTheSaiyans]

Probably not. Notice when he unplugged it the phone stopped charging for a couple of seconds.

[@fejotore]

​@@TheLastOfTheSaiyansnegotiation of energy is what most gan chargers do so it is not good as UPS

[@kasshmoney4423]

I have a question. Why is it that when plugged into an outlet, mine is not charging two phones at the same time when one of the phones is plugged into one of the type-c ports and the other phone is plugged into the usb-a port. When the type-c port is disconnected, the usb-a port device starts charging. But when used as a portable battery pack, both devices charge just fine simultaneously. Why is this?

[@integralcamerasolutions]

I would reach out to Anker customer service, they are typically very responsive to any sort of trouble shooting.

[@rubendejo]

Thank you for your review. Quick question, do you know how long will it take to fully recharge itself from having only one dot (around 25% or less)?

[@integralcamerasolutions]

TBH I do not know because I can't find specs on that, and the few times I have charged it up it seems to take several hours and I haven't been around when it finally finishes so I haven't been able to time it. Seems like it charges a lot quicker than my older battery I showed in this video tho.

[@rubendejo]

@@integralcamerasolutions I see. Thank you for replying though.

[@user-ty2uz4gb7v]

The top USB c Port says in/out, the bottom one says out. So does that mean you can charge the power pack by the top USB c port? If I have it plugged into my cigarette lighter adapter, how does the power bank know whether it's supposed to charge my car battery or whether the power pack is being charged by my car battery?

[@rf340-s3p]

Your cigarette lighter adapter doesn't allow power input. There's no way for you to charge your car battery through a USB cable plugged into the cigarette lighter adapter.

[@akiisho]

uhhh

[@tonydillinger2553]

does using a charger like this damage batteries that dont need that much power, like rechargeable flashlights?

[@integralcamerasolutions]

I am not quite sure about rechargeable flashlights, but its supposed to be able to detect what amount of power to give a device plugged in. If it doesn't know what it is, it might just give it lower power for protection.

[@Jonathannetworkspeedtester]

what is favorite cable from anker?

[@saad.n.alobaili]

Question please, can you use it as a power bank for the surface ?

[@integralcamerasolutions]

Yes you can, I am not sure how much you will get out of it though. There is an even bigger model I see a lot of people get to power PCs.

[@Acardinal]

Great review

[@mojoejoejoe2]

What is the indicator of this powerbank if the battery is already full?

[@integralcamerasolutions]

All 4 lights are steady when full.

[@MarquezDaniel]

Does the power bank output 65w as well or is it just the charger that outputs 65w?

[@integralcamerasolutions]

You will get a max 30w if you are just using the battery. you only get the 65w when plugged into the wall. For phones that should be enough to super fast charge, but for laptops or tablets probably not.

[@rohitsingh-jm8ye]

Can it wirelessly charge the devices

[@integralcamerasolutions]

It does not charge any devices wirelessly, but I think anker does offer some portable batteries that do that.

[@zameer869]

Thanks for your reviewing. Looks like it is power iq 3.0 and other gan prime 7 series device's have power iq 4.0. Could you explain what is difference between 3.0 and 4.0, how is the power heating distribution?

[@integralcamerasolutions]

Strange, I did not catch it shows the 3 on the icon. The specifications claims its 4.0. The website just claims it can charge faster and more than 1000 difference devices. I think all it really means is it recognizes different devices and knows what rate to optimally charge them at. I don't think it will really make much of a difference if you have any main large brand devices.

[@geenaxion]

So you won't get a 65w charging when using the battery?

[@integralcamerasolutions]

No, you get 30 watt max while powered by battery only. You need to have it plugged in to get the 65 watt max.

[@geenaxion]

@USDashCamera thanks.

[@jimholloway1785]

Will TSA approve this in your carryon luggage on an airplane?

[@integralcamerasolutions]

I am not quite sure about that, I rarely fly and don't know the rules. A quick google suggested you can not pack lithium batteries in checked backs and must carry it on a carry on bag.

Less than 27,000 mAh is the maximum a battery can be on flights.

[@anilkumar1971]

Does this have a pass-through charging feature?

[@integralcamerasolutions]

If you mean can you charge a phone while charging the battery, yes it seemed to do that just fine when I tested it.

[@choungm]

@@integralcamerasolutions My understanding is that it won't charge itself until it has charged everything that it is plugged to it.

[@xlDon2lx]

​@@choungmyou're right. If it is connected to wall and you're charging a device then it bypasses the powerbank. Even if the device is already at 100% but is still connected it still won't switch to charging the powerbank. You have to disconnect the device first before it charges the powerbank. So... 1. No passthrough 2. No automatic power redistribution

[@TrueTexican940]

I love this charger but I wish it have bigger battery like 20,000 or 26,000 mAh
