I received my Anker Prime 27,650mAh & charging base two days ago & wow it’s super fast, it’s definitely worth the money

[@RationallySkeptical]

Mine arrived brand new and completely dead in the box. I sent mine back to Anker yesterday. I can't trust the product now. The 737, however, has been flawless. Given that the 737 is under $90 for Prime members now, you really get more for your money with the 737.

[@JuniorEN3213]

Love the prime 27650mah, I was lucky enough to have Chinese friends n return the one I bought from Amazon asap.. got it for 1/3 of the prize. 200w n 250w version are the one that's actually worth it. Otherwise other brands are much better at a cheaper price.

[@RatSnifferThe2nd]

Very underrated review channel

[@deivytrajan]

How? He literally does 0 scientific testing, doesn't show any output efficiency numbers at different loads, maximum temperatures during charging, max sustained long term output... All he does is casually charges a few devices and tries to guess mAh. That's it. He also read's manufacturer's spec sheet. AWFUL, low effort video. AllThingsOnePlace has 20x less subs and shows 100x better testing and buying recoomendations based on DATA, not feelings.

[@Delicate141]

@@deivytrajan It's his style. It's like reading a standard TOP 5 article, but with visuals. After the video, you can search for the product and see even more details, just like you'd probably do with the article. You can't compare Aaron to others, it's like comparing milk to cheese. Different things. You commented negative comments on this video for three times, two of them are very similar. Are you bored, or you hate people? If the channel is not to your liking, there's a way of saying things, or you can move along to the next video. Have a nice day.

[@RatSnifferThe2nd]

@@deivytrajan He tells you the pros and cons of products. Also, he does do testing to conclude what you should buy. In the end, it’s a good channel, AllThingsOnePlace is also a good channel but I prefer MobileReviewsEh.

[@deivytrajan]

@@RatSnifferThe2nd the testing he does is very basic and for such massive channel is unacceptable.He tries to guess total charge capacity of mAh and measures temperature somewhere (he never tell us and only mentioned temperature of one out of 5 products) and the rest reads from the spec sheet of manufacturer.

[@deivytrajan]

@@Delicate141 His style of making low effort top 5 videos? Sounds about right. I bought a case for a phone he said is the best case. After using it for a bit it’s actually shit. After 3.5 years it broke down, entire time super slippery - which he never tested nor mentioned in a video… Casetify had way better cases. I was doing research about best chargers and power banks and found really good, although small channels. I saw this guy’s video as I was subbed - i thought let’s see what he shows and says. Well, 100x less info, almost 0 data shown, just “trust me bro” list and “secret testing” that I could do with a €30 tool. For a channel that probably gets close to €1000 per video, it’s a total joke and fanboys like you keep digging these videos. It’s crazy. It’s like watching Jake Paul boxing and be like “damn, he is such a good boxer, super technical and underrated”. He is popular, doesn’t mean he is a good boxer - this applies here and I’m commenting so others learn and maybe this channel owner will accept criticism and learn something, put more work in his video.

[@ultraSabotaj]

I bought the 25.000mAh / 145w version of the ugreen for 83,99 usd on Amazon last week! Definite win here. I think it’s already back to 119 usd. Thanks for the video.

[@vivekteega]

I bought the same one. How are you finding it? is it heavy for you?

[@ultraSabotaj]

@@vivekteega I noticed indeed when I first got it in that it is quite heavy. But when I look at this product from a use case perspective, I know this isn’t an EDC (every day carry) type of thing but rather an extension of the charging that I was not able to do at home in time. For example when I don’t feel like going on my macbook at home and want to spend a couple of hours outside somewhere with it, I will no longer be required to delay going out because I have to charge up to a certain level that I’m certain will be enough outside. Especially if there is a chance of no available outlets. Same goes for my phone actually. I caught myself a lot cursing myself because my levels were at 30% and I want to go out RIGHT NOW but I couldn’t. And since you’re charging your laptop with it anyway, anyone who carries his/her laptop will be okay carrying an additional battery like this, weight wise. Build quality is amazing by the way. Felt really really good to the touch. I have confidence as long as the batteries or ports don’t fail on me.

​@@ErnestJay88Are you pleased with the purchase? Thinking of getting it myself

[@JuniorEN3213]

​@@isucatdrums9008 only powerbank(newer ones) from Anker that's worth buying is the prime 250w, maybe 737. But other brands offers better product in almost every categories but significantly cheaper. And if you're not using your powerbank to charge your laptop along the day with. 5-10k mah is plenty. Anything more than that's started to get bulky. These powerbank has ridiculous markup anyway. That ugreen 100w 20000mah without discount, retails at 34$... (219 rmb) So does Anker btw. The crazier things is the wholesale price is even more. So the seller on Amazon can just buys bulk from Alibaba, asked their Chinese suppliers to falsifying the value of the imported goods n get atleast 300%+ markup

January, 2018 I purchased an ANKER A1271, 20,100 mAh Portable Charger for $40. • It works as well as the day I got it. It doesn't seem to have lost its capacity over the years as my numerous other chargers have. Depending on my phones, it can charge them from 5-7 times. • Every Anker item I have purchased always seems to work well...Even batteries for my Mac products. So far, this is the only Chinese designed and made product I can trust....and most likely noe self-ignite😆 Great Review🏆

[@Deming91]

The Ugreen 100W powerbank is fantastic indeed, and performs incredibly well, though i agree that its really slippery, so i usually keep it inside its little bag. I am using it to charge my Vivo X100, because it is one of the few that supports PPS charging up to 20V and 5A that the X100 is able to accept.

[@jonbarnard7186]

I left my 20K Anker power bank outside in the rain for the night. I dropped it on my campsite. I found it the next day and figured it was toast. At first, it wasn't working, but I shook the water out of the ports, and it works just fine now. Not that I would recommend this; I'm sure I got lucky, but I was and remain impressed.

[@qfnkdv4771]

Anker 733 and ugreen 140w. Anker have fusion mode (plug to the wall + powerbank), and ugreen 140w have bigger wattage and capacity. Both have 15w mode, perfect for ipad pro user for charging speed, low heat vs balance performance = more battery longivety.

[@douglasmontgomery6315]

Thanks for the review...appreciate the capacity test numbers to verify you get what's being advertised. I'm seeing a lot of Anker Prime knockoffs on Amazon with $60-80 pricing and thinking they can't have the actual mAH capacity they are touting. Lastly, could you start adding a mention if each power bank supports pass-through charging as well. This is one reason I chose the Anker Prime, that I can run a USB-C device (like the new Starlink Mini) WHILE also charging/maintaining the Anker Prime power bank with my foldable 45w solar panel.

You're a lifesaver. I needed independent data to go off of because rated capacities are known to be way off sometimes only 30% of advertised capacity.

Where is the testing? Most of them do not give you the battery mah listed I would love to see testing on that also if I fully charge one, how long will it stay charged?

[@johntate5284]

There is a power bank that is never mentioned, but the Jackery explorer 100+ is 100 watts (real watts, no x 1000's of mA [1 amp!]) and should be in this category. It has 100 watts of LFP power so it won't get hot, has no thermal runaway issues, and won't catch fire. Two USB type c (both bi-directional) and a type A with the the USB c's both rated to 100 watts each. And with 3000 usable charge / recharge cycles to 80%, this one will still be going strong after you have gone thru 4 or 5 of the "traditional" power banks. The jungle company has these on sale pretty often for $99. And yes, these can legally go on an aircraft and probably get you thru the longest international flights. I also have your number 2 choice as i also like Anker products in general. Great review!

[@YYZ-SRQ]

problem with #3, is the built in cable over time will wear out and is not replaceable and hence you'll have to throw it out when it gets frayed or cut. The very same problem that plagues most of the Macbook magsafe chargers before they went with USB-C

Anker is mainly show. I bought Anker products for years before they went mainstream. The Customer Service was top-notch..and they needed it due to QC issues. I see no improvement in QC as far as functioning units. They raised cost made them look prettier, but they are the same beasts underneath. Mophie was/is (?) is like that.

[@Buschaga]

I just bought the Anker GaNPrime 733 on sale a few days ago based on your suggestion previously for exactly the reason highlighted in this video - having a battery and charge brick integrated into a single item to carry is going to be perfect for keeping a tidy travel bag. I like that it does full 65W when plugged in which matches the wattage of the brick I was already carrying anyway for my iPad Pro and MacBook Air. My prior power banks charged gear from battery at 18 and 24 watts which is waaaaay toooo slowww for bigger devices; 30W on battery with the Anker GaNPrime just squeaks across the threshold into acceptable for me.

[@qlnzky]

The button on the ugreen powerbank can enable small current mode if you hold it for a few seconds.

[@fadoodle]

Such great information. Could explain how you get the temperature numbers for these items? I mean, 61ºF is the hottest you recorded. Is that above ambient? Again, terrific review as always.

[@tomwaugh]

Did you take any time to actually read the instructions? You mention at about the 7.35 minute mark that the button on the side next to the display doesn't do anything. Section 3 of the instructions says that if you hold it for 3 seconds, it switches to trickle charging.
