This is a technical review of this power bank. It is a technical video... So, yeah, not as flashy as others but has measured data in it, which would not be allowed by a sponsor. I wish they'd say if it was sponsored by the product in the video before you click on it, that's click bait and switch, you just got fooled into watching a really long commercial... So, if you don't want to watch a commercial and don't mind a bit of boring measurements, terrible video work, and monotone talking, watch my video, haha, really selling it...

FYI the unit will accept 3 DC inputs. 2x USB-C and 1x XT60. This allows you to max out the charge speeds even if you dont have 2x 140w chargers. The XT60 port will work witb a USB-C to XT60 cable.

@@AllThingsOnePlace Yea, I bought a EcoFlow River 3 and after a month weight I reached out and there said out of stock. I was like it was in stock when I bought it though and they still sold for another day. River 3 comes with wall cable and dc car to xt60I adapter. I wish Anker also did this. I bought the anker c300ac and just getting started with it. I do like it. Not sure when I finally get my river 3 after using which I will like the most.

So, I tested my Anker 140W cable's resistance that came with my C300 DC and got 140-ish mOhms. I compared it to one that came with the 737 and it had about 110 mOhms. They have seemed to use a different vender and the easy way to tell the difference between the 2 is that the one with the Solix has 140W above the MAX when reading it like the one in your video. The one with lower resistance that came with the 737 has 140W below the MAX when reading it. Although I only showed a 30 mOhm difference. There are less obvious differences as the Solix cable's overall diameter is smaller, the logo is deeper embossed into into the molding.
@AllThingsOnePlace
@AllThingsOnePlace Ай бұрын
Yeah, it's cheaper for sure. I was going to show the diameter difference also. I also must have a really good older cable, outlier in the other direction. I do have all of the Anker cables so could probably show the evolution. I don't want to cut them up since I use some of them.

​@AllThingsOnePlace after more looking into it, I have purchased multiple 737's over a year ago and a couple of new Prime (250W and 200W) banks for family members and recently recieved the C200 DC. Both Anker Solix (the c200 and c300) came with "140W MAX" cables and both tested at 140 nOhms. All 5 of the "MAX 140W" cables that came with the 737 and Prime tested around 110 mOhms. So it maybe that the Solix branded stuff is the determining factor in recieving these less capable cables.

Now Most Chargers don't shock me and Revo 30 shocks more than 20. Then I tested the type c port using an electric tester. And the Revo 20 shines more than my 18-watt google charger. Is it normal and safe?

Hello! I have a few questions about chargers. Tell me, do chargers degrade over time? Is it safe to charge a smartphone with a 5-year-old Samsung EP TA200 charger adapter? And what can you say about the Anker PowerPort Atom III 65W Slim charger adapter, is it safe for the battery and charge controller of smartphones?
@AllThingsOnePlace
@AllThingsOnePlace 28 күн бұрын
Chargers do degrade over time. Smaller and hotter they operate the faster they degrade. Some in only a year with heavy use. But with moderate use and not maximizing the wattage output of the device they should last quite a long time. 5+ years is possible. The PowerPort Atom III is one of the better slim chargers. In terms of battery management , it's all in the device. The charger can't do anything about it really.

It works with any PD USB C charger. You don't need to charge it at maximum speed, actually it's less efficient if you do. I'd use the Anker 240W charger with one cable to charge it. It won't be overloading that charger then and both should last reasonably long.

@AllThingsOnePlace
@AllThingsOnePlace Ай бұрын
Generally, the device decides how much power it needs not the supply. So, at 20-24 watts the connected device is choosing that as the power level it needs. You can't force more watts into the device, that can cause issues. There can be mode compatibility issues depending on what it is, but if it's up to 20-24 watts it probably negotiated some kind of PD mode.

Couple things: 1. Is this fan cooled? I saw the 104F max operating temp and think that’s pretty low. Concerned if there’s no fan. 2. You mention this is not a UPS and all energy hits the battery. Can you explain more? If the load and charge are balanced wouldn’t it just charge across the battery tabs? Or are you saying if the charging from the usb stops then all ports will stop for a moment? Thx

We go through power outages fairly often and these two lanterns that also charge stuff are perfect for not running through flashlights twice a night. I do have the same major gripe about it though, it seems like it should be something I could sit in the rain with but it's not at all and that's rather annoying.

the 12v out port is probably the most important aspect of this guy. you can just plug in a small ac inverter if you need and skip buying the more expensive version with the built in inverter. i believe the cig port is regulated 12v though. havent found any tests showing how much it can put out say through a 140w inverter or something. guessing 10amps? most stuff that uses that port uses up to 10 amps in cars. would be cool if it could boost that cig port up to 24 volts. lot of big rig/trucker stuff uses that port with a 24v out... thats why all those dc powered fridges will run without modifications on 24v dc. imo the cig port really future proofs the device too coz you can stick a "car charger" adapter in there if you need more usbc or extra usba ports. kind of modular. copying most of the features of this guy for my diy lifepo4 power pack builds but probably going to run unregulated cig port. maybe just a 10-15amp automotive fuse or something. then i can plug in a big inverter if i wanted to use like that. going for 32ah (~500wh) in the same package. those lifepo4 32ah cells are really cheap right now if you buy in bulk, i think about 7 bucks each
@AllThingsOnePlace

It is 10A and 12V regulated. So, that also comes with some higher losses. Yeah, 24V would be nice to get some more usable power out of it, the battery can certainly handle it, even if only for an hour in this case, but yeah, fusing, a bit more energy, and a direct connection to a protected battery would be able to power a lot more things.

If they dont want to add a UPS bc this is gonna be used on the go. They should have added a wireless charger on the top making it good for like pool side.

Great video! Interested to see if there are any large power banks with DC bypass. BTW, you probably already got bombarded by framework fans, but is there a chance you will review Delta's ADP-240KB B? It's available from several suppliers like mouser and digikey for purchase and multiple people have reported getting them within a week. Interested to see how a first 240w PD3.1 charger performs. ❤

Yeah, this is close to DC bypass, it could probably do it with the software. The delta is out of stock until June. I took a look and said nope based on the datasheet.

I don't understand "not a UPS". A double-conversion UPS does exactly this full time AC-DC-AC.
@adriftatlas
@adriftatlas Ай бұрын
Yep. His choice of language is going to confuse people. Sure, it may not be a standby/offline/bypass UPS,. A double conversion (online) UPS is a highly reliable often expensive UPS. He may not like that efficiency would be 79.5% if used as a UPS but it's not like AC to DC adapters for stuff like network gear are 100% efficient. The LiFoPO4 battery inside is more likely to fail due to passage of time rather than constant cycling.

@AllThingsOnePlace Ай бұрын
It isn't a double conversion UPS either. It actively will not take power from the mains and push it to output, so outputs will only draw power from the battery. A UPS, online or double conversion, while powered, could care less if the battery is present. This is certainly a software limitation in this unit though. The circuitry is in place to be a UPS.

@@AllThingsOnePlace Could you describe the circuitry? I don't think I've seen any power bank nor portable power station with a DC bypass mode. Maybe that's a topic you could cover in a video?

Efficiency and weight mostly. For a smaller power station like this, using the AC inverter uses a pretty substantial amount of the energy, I guess really these smaller power stations as a whole don't make sense.
