Fun fact, Anker first announced this one on July 25, 2022 alongside a bunch of other GaNPrime adaptors (65W, 100W power strip, 120W, 150W), the 737 PowerCore 24K, etc. But unlike all those other devices, they didn't start taking pre-orders of this 240W beast until August 1, 2023. So, people spent over a year speculating about the power split and that it had to be a desktop charger due to the size, since, as you mentioned, Anker didn't want to show the permanently attached power cord. At least it was worth the wait.

OS-CON is an aluminum solid capacitor with high conductive polymer. OS-CON acquires low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), excellent noise reduction capability and frequency characteristics. In addition, OS-CON has a long life span and its ESR has little change even at low temperatures since the electrolyte is solid.

Good review. It's interesting you mention the "Won't buy if..." list. I don't mind the USB-A port, and many devices still ship with a USB-A cable. Those that need USB-C there can use an adapter. But... there's 2 things that are non-negotiable with adapters of this capacity and size: 1.) it *MUST* support a grounding pin, and not a fake one at the end of the cable with no wire attached to it, and 2.) it *MUST* have a detachable cable from the main body of the charger/adapter. Those that don't, are simply not 'travel' adapters (I'm looking at you, Baseus! 👀). If you use these, non-grounded adapters on foreign voltage or with converters, they will run SCORCHINGLY hot. 🔥 Anker made a big mistake with their 6-in-1 charger by not providing replacement cables, nor non-US wall cables with that devices, so it remains a proprietary, US-only charger that can't really be used outside the US. Another 'travel' charger that only works if you travel in the US.

The 140W Laptop port has issues with some cables. It will occasionally fail to read the eMarker of the cable and limit power to 60W. For some cables it's unable to read the eMarker ever and is always limited to 60W. Try a JSAUX 100W right angle USB-C cable, it will only work at 60W. It occasionally glitches with a USB-IF certified Plugable cable. I've also confirmed the issue with a ChargerLab KM003C without any cable using eMarker emulation. Occasionally it will only show 60W of 140W. I used it for a bit before getting annoyed by the glitch and returned it. There are other reviews on Amazon that say the same.

Stupid question, I have a powerstrip, Anker 240W or 4 Amazon 65W USBC ? The Anker has more modes? Great Videos, thanks for your content.
@AllThingsOnePlace6 ай бұрын
That's not a stupid question. The Anker does have more modes but the real benefit is energy savings at that point. The issue is at that wattage level, lacking power factor correction, PFC, is going to cost you in terms of current and extra power usage with a low power quality versus a high power quality device. You will use about 7-10% more energy with 4 - 65W adapters versus the one 240W adapter or three 100 watt adapters with PFC. The losses from one device do not add, they increase by a power of 2, so increasing devices of lower power quality creates a pretty sizable amount of power loss. No one wants to talk about this since everyone is focused on one device. On a one device scale, it barely matters at 65W.

(It is more a metal piece that acts like a spring)

It's partially a dig at how they market these things... 240 watts! Then in really fine print (if you don't use it all the time).

This is on sale for $99 right now, should I get it? I want to run a 130w laptop and 2 iPhone chargers during conventions where I host a booth and often have to share wall port access. This is great how it uses 1 wall port and grants full speed charging to my 3 primary devices. So I’m asking if under full load for 8 hours a day, do you think I can rely on this product?
@AllThingsOnePlace4 ай бұрын
Will the laptop support PD charging at 130W? meaning EPR mode, 28V? If not this won't work, at full power, likely 90W limit, the manufacturer supplied adapters usually do a proprietary mode. Full load 8 hours a day is possible. You are potentially reducing the life span, but for a product that is essentially being used commercially, I would expect it to depreciate much faster and therefore get replaced much faster. So, if it makes it two years, that's probably not bad. Of course two iphones and a laptop (limited to 90W), won't be anywhere near full load, so it should be okay.

@@AllThingsOnePlace I got notified of this just now, sorry for my late reply! Yes I found all Anker stops at 90w for my Dell unless I use their proprietary docks or chargers but the 90w seems sufficient after testing under my normal work conditions! Now do you have a recommendation for a USB-C adapter that can do 18w-21w continuously safely and reliably? 12v 1.8a on average Was looking at Anker nano 2-30w or the smaller nano 3, but nano 2 seems geared towards higher amp devices like small laptops and pro tablets and makes me think it’s a better bet. a2265 Or do you think I’m better off with something from satechi or ygreen or baseus for this purpose? I’m powering a tablet dock, that powers the tablet, and doing this for many stations which are meant for long term Using the usb-c to barrel PD cable from adafruit and dock from ram PN RAM-HOL-ZE20PD2U I’m not getting the one with the USB-C connector because it’s almost double the cost in the end requiring an expensive $100 case compared to a much cheaper case commonly used that works with the other one You can probably skip looking too much into the dock, it normally uses a 12v5a DC power supply that only draws 1.8a on average and I’m still waiting to test that the cable fits and works, but if all goes well with that side of things I’m lastly concerned on the adapter piece not overheating under constant load and or failing / catching fire lol I’d like to believe adafruit made a good cable, people reference it on Reddit going back a year now

@AllThingsOnePlace6 ай бұрын
It's unfortunately not as easy as it should be. One way would be if it came with a charger, is that charger USB C, does that USB C charger say what voltage and current it supplies, they usually have to write this on the casing. Another thing to check is if the laptop has a usb c port labeled as accepting power or near a barrel plug power input. My laptop has the usb c near the barrel plug port, it does support power in, hp. One option is just try it and see if it works. Another is a usb c to barrel adapter.

haha, yeah, I'm trying, sorry for the long rant, you don't have to read it, thanks for the comment! I guess the issue is trying to make everyone happy is an impossibility. So, I try to think of all aspects and incorporate a little too much and that means nothing will ever meet the impossible criteria of being the perfect power adapter, charging a phone perfectly and also being able to deliver power to every laptop you own at once, with every possible USB mode and then people fight about USB A or no USB A. In terms of my videos this one is about as positive as they get. It isn't that I see the dark side or am being negative on purpose, it's that I have a foot in reality and know what is and isn't possible and that these have to be mass produced products that make profit. This product generally meets many criteria people ask for. It is expensive and heavy but it's also a lot of watts, you can't cheat physics so the weight is there for a reason. Anyway, yeah, I'm on a bit of a break now while I try to figure out how to spin these in a more light hearted way, or what videos to make instead because no one is interested in power adapters (according to yt stats). I still have to cover the data but essentially can't provide commentary if it isn't a positive result. One option is, make the videos shorter but more machine like... Here it is, unbox it, specs, data table, plot comparisons, end. Rinse and repeat. Hopefully, can get more videos out that way. They won't be better. Time is also an issue. This is very much part time, it makes no money, it costs substantial money, and it chews time. It'll never make money, I know that, but it'd be nice if the channel at least continued to grow, but it's not doing that anymore either. Basically losing subs as fast as I gain them, and views, watch time, CTR, impressions are all down, way down. Option 2, means time to stop and make something else. The audience has voted with views and they aren't interested anymore. So, what do I make instead? I'm stuck on option 2, and can't figure it out.
@MArca-hj3xv6 ай бұрын
@AllThingsOnePlace The problem is that you'll get one-time watchers who want to decide on a product and move on. You're the only channel that puts out comprehensive videos about powerbanks and power supplies that I could find. That means you did find a gap. I think maybe make the videos a bit more palatable, ask the audience to subscribe, after all it's hard work and make the videos a bit click baity. Anker 737 - 5 reasons not to buy. Yes clickbait is annoying but it works. Once I see the effort you put into the video and I get value out of it, I forgive the clickbait. I hope that makes sense.

Whenever a loose cable hits my skin, it kinda stings me. Do you know how this can happen? At my work we have like 4-5 Anker 5-Port chargers hooked up to one power strip. Is the sting, the combined leakage thats coming into contact with me? And if so, why doesnt the earthing pin take that away? I cant seem to find the source of the problem here. Or is it just normal because of the setup?
@AllThingsOnePlace2 ай бұрын
Yes. This is leakage current from the AC line to ground through your body. Some people are more sensitive to this tan others, some people don't seem to have an issue with it at all. Wetness changes tolerance tremendously. If you are combining outputs from all of those power adapters then yes, the leakage would be easily measurable. If only one at a time you may have an adapter that is a bit more leaky or you have a good ground connection somewhere through your body, metal desk maybe?

@@AllThingsOnePlace Thanks! Yeah its a bit of a mess. Together with the Ankers, we have like 25 Apple AC's on the 1 power source. I will need to make a base measurement and see if any single one adapter is a bit faulty or if I can split the adapters on different power sources. Its an aluminium frame with multiple planks. I think we also have to isolate the wires better. We use a lot of the 3in1 cables to charge and it might be hitting the frame, and or other wires. -And this just hit me, the wires are looped around the aluminium posts. Im no expert but I was told you shouldnt wrap wires in a loop that carry current. Well I think the whole setup needs an overhaul.
