Anker's INSANE 250W Prime Power Bank - Anker 737 But Better!

[@JCKRGB]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/naOyiqiHe9SEmbM 👈🏻Here's my video on the Prime 200W! Also super fast, but a bit more compact!

[@KarlRock]

I got the original 737 for $100 in U.S. It came in very handy through my recent Pakistan trip where power was intermittent! Charging multiple GoPros, phone, and microphones. Very occasionally my laptop. I can’t imagine needing to charge at over 100W. So I’m still very happy with the previous model for anyone thinking about the new model.

[@JCKRGB]

That’s amazing! Yeah the 737 is still a great buy and with enough power for most people. Plus I’ve seen it get discounted now that the Prime lineup has launched. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

[@JCKRGB]

Quick Note! The recharge estimates at 5:16 are based off of my devices which have around 88-90% health. You'll get slightly more or less depending on your battery health! Also, filmed this in the middle of a heatwave if I look like I’m dying.. 🥵 Let me know what you think and what your fastest charger is! 🔌⚡️

[@ashikashraf3396]

Is it possible to charge Asus 14 laptop 65W?

[@funbucket09]

A British heatwave or a real one? 🤣🤣🤣. I'm only joking mate I know you guys get bad ones too. Greetings from Australia.

[@JCKRGB]

⁠@@funbucket09oh definitely a British one 😄 But our houses are designed to keep in heat and we don’t have aircon 🥲 Then my video lights just add to the heat as well! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

[@rodc271]

The reason for the USB-A port is I believe due to a number of USB-C devices not supporting the PD standard for charging. When they are plugged into a USB-C PD port, no negotiation takes place, and they fail to charge. They come with a USB-A to USB-C cable for that reason.

[@duppa]

Thanks - always wondered why my devices that come with a USB-A to USB-C cable would never charge with just USB-C

[@darkforcesjedi]

The USB A port also supports OPPO/OnePlus SuperVOOC charging.

[@viktor.egelund]

Power bank evolution moves fast. I have the flat 737 with 87W out, and thought I still was cool.

[@JCKRGB]

True, I remember when even the low output ones would get super warm! Much more efficient now! ✌🏻

[@TheStopwatchGod]

The 747 does 87W, the old 737 does 60W + 18W over USB-A

[@funbucket09]

Your mum still says your cool so I wouldn't sweat it 😂

[@MrFastFox666]

I actually like that it still has a USB A port, it comes in handy for older devices or when an iPhone user needs a charge since many people still use the older cables.

[@JCKRGB]

Yeah that’s true! ✌🏻

[@JonYeoAU]

All of my wearables use USB A. As a traveller, it's more important to keep legacy ports because they have proprietary connectors to the device itself

[@JCKRGB]

@@JonYeoAU Yeah and still so many A Ports on Buses, Trains and Planes. I think it’ll be around for a long time! ✌🏻

[@lev3k]

Strong agree. There are also a bunch of USB-c devices that don't have the resistor for PD default, and will not charge when plugged into another USB C port. Mostly cheaper stuff, but the whole Anbernic line suffers from this. In these cases, USB-A is an absolute necessity.

[@MrFastFox666]

@@lev3k there's two expensive devices I own that are like this. I can't remember what one of them is right now, but the other is DJI's remotes for the DJI Avata. Both the motion controller and the FPV controller charge through USB C, but they don't activate USB C chargers, and each controller is like $150 IIRC. it's ridiculous.

[@pentwo22]

the charging base is amazing!! such a good combination with already fantastic power bank. Hope Anker Australia can in-stock this soon

[@JCKRGB]

It’s so good! Yeah the 250W seems to be going in and out of stock quickly at the mo! ✌🏻

[@thatfloridian5719]

I’m happy it has a A port still I have a lot of devices that require a A Port to charge or run off of like a usb fan, AirPods, etc.

[@sauravmisraz]

One of the detailed and informative video found on YT about this device. Moreover liked your overall presentation.

[@JCKRGB]

Glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching! ✌🏻

[@sauravmisraz]

Irony is, this device is currently out of stock on amazon in my location. But your video will surely help in future once I get my hands on the thing once svailable.

[@TH3mrBROWN]

Got the 737 for a big discount on Amazon Prime Day, along with the 120W Anker charger which is my new fastest charger.

[@JCKRGB]

Nice one! I’ve seen the 737 discounted now the new Primes are out. Still an ace power bank for even less! ✌🏻

[@faisaltariq2575]

How much you got it for?

[@mohammadobeidat5685]

Best review for this Power Bank, you deserve 1 million subscribers just because of this review. Thanks.

[@JCKRGB]

Haha thanks mate! ✌🏻

I am very happy that it still has a USB Type A port , cause I am sure they would not put 3 USB Type C anyway , so better to have it there , and if you still have an older device with MicroUSB , it could work with the original charging cable , I know there is also Type C to MicroUSB but not everyone has one of those

[@JCKRGB]

This is very true, I’m slowing switching everything to USB-C but still have A cables I can make use of! ✌🏻

[@funbucket09]

@ArenaDigitala same with me. While I love USB C, I've ammased a considerable amount of tech I'm not willing to part ways with from the pre-C era (plus think of the senseless e-waste decommissioning it just for the port!). Many people will still need an A port for a number of years. At a random totally uneducated guess, I would say at least 5 more years (possibly 10) before the technology using the A ports becomes completely obsolete. Even longer for specialist hardware. Look at how many professional/industrial components still need a DB9 (serial) port!

[@michaelklein23]

I don't mind the A port as there are some devices even recent ones that come with a type c to a cable to protect the battery life apparently like my Marshall Middleton bt speaker. That being said I would've liked an extra type C port AND I hate the bigger glossy front part, I feel like they could've just made it a little bigger to accommodate the bigger screen but those tend to scratch easy and like you said are fingerprint magnets.

[@JCKRGB]

True, there’s still a lot of USB-A devices out there. I’ve basically switched to USB-C completely now so I also would’ve liked another C port! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

[@Sebyllis7350k]

USB-A doesn't protect your battery. Slower charging speed does. There're loads of USB-C slow-charging devices out there. There's no legit reason to be cheap and give user a USB-A cable.

[@TheStopwatchGod]

My most powerful charger is the Anker GaNPrime™ 120W charger, Combining the Prime 250W powerbank and the new 240W Anker Prime wall charger would form the ultimate duo for ultrafast charging.

[@JCKRGB]

Amazing! They’re a great Duo. Still using my 737 Charger! ✌🏻

[@WavyCats]

Important to note that the charging input is 170w max. Which is still faster that the 140 input for 737

[@no.9516]

I got the 120W, failed in about a month.

[@Chrisdgallego]

Do you know if the cable that comes with the powerbank in combination with the m1 16" macbook pro block charger works fine? because I pluged it 4 hour ago... and it is still around 1,25%

[@CookJunkie]

Would love to see you make a comparison of all the prime banks and do a thorough review of the actual efficiency of these banks. A lot of reviewers aren't touching on that and taking the mAh at face value. What are we really getting? 82% 90% of the capacity?

[@doxic5574]

More like 60%... about 40% is lost due to heat and energy transfer. So on the 737 which has a 24K mAh capacity, you're only gonna get about 13-14K mAh in reality

[@CaptainMarmite]

Excellent video. I have two of the 737’s and they are great. Looking forward to a deal on Amazon before I can justify buying this new one. Keep up the good work.

[@JCKRGB]

Thanks so much! Yeah keep an eye out! 👀

[@DevoldoinHD]

Leave the A port alone. People still use legacy devices even in today's world.

[@battery_wattage]

Yes that’s why I like it, but I’m still disappointed that it doesn’t have three usb c ports. For the price it definitely could have had three c and one a.

[@seanyoch2879]

Yes, thank you! Not everything has transitioned into type c yet

[@4G63-T_UwU]

yes usb c only would be a worse product and not as versatile

[@skullyjones8234]

Yes . And there are many low Power devices ,which also need USB A or Micro UsB Cables. So we still need the A port.

[@pierreworld2998]

Also over Tickle Charge Mode we use UsB A. Many devices have an UsB A Cable in the package

[@zurcyer]

Great video. Very informative. Thanks for doing what you do. I used to ask myself the same question about USB-A still being on devices until I realized I still have some old devices that I still use that can only charge with USB-A. I ended up getting the 200 Watt version since the one in your review says it’s unavailable. Thanks for the video.

[@JCKRGB]

Thanks so much! 🙏🏻 Yeah, I think USB-A will be around for many more years so I guess having it here is good for compatibility. I think this 250W version currently has an order backlog which is why it says unavailable! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

[@MehdiRF]

The quality of the review itself is amazing and yes Anker Prime is one worthy sophisticated replacement for MacBook's PD powerbanks. Thanks for great review.

[@JCKRGB]

Thanks so much Mehdi! Appreciate it! ✌🏻

[@CJSouth_21]

Would absolutely love a comparison of all 3. This video was fantastic

[@JCKRGB]

[@JCKRGB]

It’s ace! ⚡️✌🏻

[@Roy-c2u1b]

Great review! Answered all my questions, and the image quality is so clear and nice to watch! I agree that USB-A is completely useless now, would much rather have a 3rd USB-C port. And for a wall charger I'm using UGREEN Nexode 140W.

[@JCKRGB]

Thanks so much I appreciate it! And nice charger! ✌🏻

[@VaiRostampour]

I got the 737, expensive but absolutely brilliant. I’m happy about the USB A port, I have some micro USB devices and an Apple Watch charger that needs it.

[@JCKRGB]

Yeah it’s amazing! ✌🏻

[@Umuliuz]

I am thinking there are always and odd old device that uses USB-A. Nicee to have that port if there is space for it.

[@JCKRGB]

True! Always good to have for more compatibility! ✌🏻

[@YaretziaGarcia]

I’m pretty happy with my Anker 737 I don’t have anything above 140w that will take advantage of the 250w upgrade on the new battery bank, great video!

[@JCKRGB]

Yeah the 737 is still an absolute beast! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

[@pilot74sparki]

Just bought the 250W Prime Power Bank to re-charge my DJI Mini 3 Pro. I have 5 batteries but even that isn't enough to keep on shooting all day, I have tried in car charging, inverters etc etc but they rely on my car running. I am hoping this will be able to double my 'on the go' battery availability - as I paid £147 which would be the cost of 2 extra drone batteries and I am hoping this will keep all 5 topped up ready to go making it better value than buying another 5 drone batteries. Fingers crossed.

[@IsavaIsava]

Great vid man, appreciate your energy and vibe overall. Also have the 737 and I use it to multi-charge stuff. I would get the Prime just becasue it's mad crazy and the app looks cool! Never seen that in a power bank either.

[@JCKRGB]

Thanks mate! Both the 737 and Prime are great, and same, never had a power bank with an app! They use it to push updates and new features to the Prime as well which is neat ✌🏻

[@curtflirt2]

Excellent video, just bought the Prime with the Charging base and got it yesterday due to this video.

[@JCKRGB]

Nice one! Glad you found the video helpful! ✌🏻

[@JoyGamer23]

The 737 is currently sold for 104 euros and the 27k is sold for 134 euros here in italy altough they just came in recently and had their price respectively lowered from the original 160 and 180 ... One thing that is annoying is that the charging base is nowhere to be seen in italy, and Anker doesn't ship to anywhere else than the US, so yeah.... P.S. i bought a couple 27k's and both have the problem where in the app, if you configure a device that is 17000 mah it will say that it will charge it only 1 time; also, if you create a device that has the same identical battery capacity as the 27k itself, wich is 27650 mah, it will say that it can charge it only 0.6 times, something is definitely wrong here, it might be a software problem altough as of today there is no update or fix in sight

[@JCKRGB]

Ahh I hope bring out the charging base for you in Italy, it’s great add on! As for the charging estimates, mine says the same, it’s not a bug. You won’t get a full charge for another device with say a 27k capacity as there’s always a loss of power through heat and other factors, it can’t be 100% efficient. It’s the same with all batteries and power banks. That’s why having it here is useful, it actually gives you an idea for how many charges you’ll get! Not seen that before on a power bank! ✌🏻

[@V-66899]

There is something that you have to take it in consideration, the prime power bank supports supervooc charging while the 737 is not … my daily phone is one plus open, and my second phone is one plus 11 pro … and this power bank charge them beautifully at 65 watt ultra supervooc charging.

[@JCKRGB]

I have the original Anker 737 GaNPrime power bank and this one looks pretty cool. However, my current one is already overkill for me and I would rather get a power bank with a single port output of 240 W.

[@JCKRGB]

Nice! The 737 is ace. I wonder when we’ll start seeing power banks with 240W out from a single port.. 🤔

[@KellyWu04]

[@brianbaker6270]

great review and excellent production quality, will note one thing though the reason Anker and other manufacturers still include a USB A port is many devices still have USB A to USB C cable and not USB C to C. So, without a USB A port many peoples devices that have the original cable which is USB A to C (or proprietary) would be out of luck. It keeps everyone able to use the power bank as much as possible and not restrict it to purely USB C devices.

[@JCKRGB]

Thank you! And yeah that makes sense, good point! ✌🏻

[@RastaHenkie]

I'm happy with the a port since a lot of cables I got are USB A to C or still micro from old tech.

[@JCKRGB]

That’s fair. Yeah I’ve still got a few A cables I can use lying about! ✌🏻

[@daniel_960_]

Got the 737 and I like not having to be attached to a wall like a dog. Cool that there's a 100wh version now. But the 737 is just as fine tbh.

[@JCKRGB]

Yeah! OG 737 is still a really good power bank! ✌🏻

[@daniel_960_]

To the charger part, had a 65w initially too. But got a 140w one now. The fast recharge is really what makes the Powerbank. Also 65w gets really slow when you have to recharge all devices.

[@JCKRGB]

Nice one! Yeah it makes it so much better. Even if you forget to charge you can still get a decent amount from a quick charge while getting ready ✌🏻

[@hectorg1192]

Some devices only charge from A ports - dont remember why. Something about the voltage of the devices - have a USB tpye-C rechargable fan and a lighter that only charge with an A to C cable

[@JCKRGB]

Yeah I’d gladly keep the USB-A if we had a third C port as well! ✌🏻

[@terrencekunstek]

Let's call it what it is - almost $100 per USB-C charging port. You could buy ten Anker 313 10k power banks for the same price and have charging ports for DAYS and 4x the capacity. The true value of this brick is the 140w output port, but even the biggest laptop battery will only charge to 30-40% before quickly slowing down to something in the 50w range.

[@JCKRGB]

For sure, you can pay less for more capacity! The high output here let's you fast charge a bunch of stuff all at once, or top up a laptop on the go. Bluetooth features come in useful too!

From Japanese users who own both I think the black color of the 737 is less noticeable for dirt. I think that three USB-C ports would have been good.

Where on the battery is capacity written? Every time I go through airport security in many Asian countries, such as Thailand, they must check the capacity for carry-on items. They must see the text. Anker usually has the capacity written on the side of the battery. This text is however ridiculously small and illegible. Not only is the text miniscule but colored in the same color as the battery pack, only slightly darker. I’ve forwarded this feedback to the product design team, because I don’t understand. Are they trying to keep this info secret? Is it a design choice? Do they think larger text looks bad? It’s just strange to not show this important information abundantly clear. So Anker, please make the job for airport security all over the world easier by improving the display of battery capacity on the battery.

They both have the ports but the info isn’t available.

I still have devices that come with USB-A charging cables so the A port on the powerbank is still useful.

[@shikkkkkk]

What is that one model without display cover?Looks cool. Searched 737 all with display covered. 😮

[@GeekProdigyGuy]

Nothing wrong with including USB A --- what's weird is only having 2 USB C ports and no wireless charging. I guess it's a tradeoff for size/weight/price, but tbh it's already pretty large and flagship priced. Most people looking to buy this would almost go for a slightly bigger footprint and a bit extra on the price tag for just 1 or 2 more USB C ports.

[@JCKRGB]

For sure, A port is great for compatibility. If it had 3 C ports and an A that would be perfect, I pretty much have USB-C everything now! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

Would love to know how this is holding up for you since the reviews I’ve read thus far have said that either its died or its’ charging base stopped working or both.

[@JCKRGB]

No problems here, both are working just fine! ✌🏻

[@twisted_void]

I don’t know why I need such a big power bank but I want one hahah

[@JCKRGB]

Hahaha ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@Steelriter]

I like it but the form factor is not ideal. Can't carry it in a backpack without adding a ton of bulk

[@umitdolap1733]

Why oh why does it still have an A-port? Because there are people who also use devices that don't have a USB-C connection? Or is it because manufacturers know that there are a lot of people who have USB-A to micro-USB, or USB-A to mini-USB cables for their older devices that are still used? I have a specialized device that functions stand-alone for months using this powerbank through a USB-B port and I'm thankful that they didn't cancel the A-port on their newer products.

Excellent video! I like the Anker reviews 😊. Not my product to buy but awesome as a pricey gift 🎁

[@JCKRGB]

Thanks so much! Awesome gift for your tech friends! ✌🏻

[@shwartz166]

Your video was very wide and I liked it very much, thank you for this excellent piece of tech review

[@JCKRGB]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it! ✌🏻

Wireless means there would be a lack of a 'physical' connection and contact. Wireless charging will transmit through things, much like a case on a phone. This is more a 'dockable' charger as the pogo pins make an actual connection. Sorry, it does irk me a little when terms are not used properly. Look them up of you like, I'm not hating, just informing.

[@Allantoss]

Just the review I was looking for. Very detailed. Thank you!

[@JCKRGB]

Glad you think so, thanks for watching! ✌🏻

[@Friedenza]

Fastest charger I currently own is is ROG Flow Z13's 140w charger. That's why I need this, because I have Flow Z13

Windows Tablet + Intel i9 3900H + RTX 2050 + 56wh Battery = Battery Anxiety

[@Latitude2010]

Excellent review thanks to you. I have purchased the 737. Haven’t tried it yet. I just charge it fully and I kept it but I’m quite dizzy looking for the Bluetooth connection. I’m not able how to connect it to my iPhone 15 pro I have downloaded the application, but I’m not able to find a way to connect via Bluetooth to be able to manage the application With my power bank. 737 very much appreciate it if you can give me a clue

[@JCKRGB]

The 737 doesn’t have Bluetooth, that’s only on the 250W Prime

[@Latitude2010]

@ thank you so much for getting back so there is no use for purchasing the Anker charging station in this case. I’m fine with it. Thank you very much. You’ve been lovely.

[@JCKRGB]

@Latitude2010 You’re welcome! That’s correct, the charging base only works with the 130W, 200W & 250W Prime power banks ✌🏻

[@helicopter234]

I have a 20.000mAh power bank with 65W output and 45W input. Has a little screen that shows the battery percentage and if its using PD or not. Cost 20 bucks on amazon lol.

[@bogmaerke]

Base is definitely not wireless charging, it has pogo-pins for connecting with the power banks pads on the bottom. Maybe it can be called plugless charging? Can't wait for this to hit Europe, been wanting a high power power bank for a while.

[@v1nce502]

I am still looking for the wire...

[@tsujimasen]

Can you use one of the 240 W total output chargers with multiple C ports to charge this power bank at 170 W using two cables?

[@JCKRGB]

Oh that’s a good question! I don’t have a 240W charger to test with but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work 🤔

[@vicentvanmole]

Still think it needs more ports ,2A ,3cs .For the price is on very high side ,and square shape makes a big bulk ,which isn't good for packing in computer bags .As for the "wireless" dock which is just over price ,should be included for such a slow charging dock.

[@krisk1547]

Its nice but i have too many now. I'll keep it in mind when shopping for next one

[@JCKRGB]

I also have too many power banks haha.. ✌🏻

[@zet_zw]

​@@JCKRGBMay i have one bro 🥹🥲

[@TH3mrBROWN]

I just had a thought, do you know if this new version works with the Insta360 X3 Battery Dock? the old version gave a "UPV" error and doesn't charge the batteries.

[@JCKRGB]

Not sure sorry! I don’t have the X3 Battery Dock to test with. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

[@lentusek]

wait... did you just complain about the charging station not being heavy enough, and the powerbank having a usb-a port?

[@KwakuAmoabin]

Will leaving it on the magnetic charger for a long time damage the battery?

[@JCKRGB]

The Prime stops charging on the Base when it reaches 100%, so it should be fine! ✌🏻

[@JoseRodriguez-tx1qz]

Anker currently has this 27,000+ Anker Prime power bank on sale at 31% off NOT including the base. Is it worth getting it now or has Anker given better deals before on this charger?

[@JCKRGB]

Sounds like a great deal! I’ve not seen it with that big of a discount before! ✌🏻

[@RationallySkeptical]

I just got mine for $129. Get it now!

[@asaad4100]

What if you charge the power bank with two chargers from the 2 ports?

[@TMCC401]

Is there anyway to slow charge the powerbank to protect the battery longevity?

[@JCKRGB]

Yep! 5:59 You can enable optimised charging for input / output at set times ✌🏻

[@phengchaokhio4904]

Can’t find the prime at Best Buy so I guess I’ll just have to get the 737

[@JCKRGB]

Not sure if Best Buy stock the new Prime’s yet! ✌🏻
