Anker ULTIMATE Charging Tech Guide!

[@beaujangles2215]

I have loved anker for years…pretty much everything I have that I use to charge my phone and iPad while on the go is an anker product….I really fell in love with the company a year or so ago when I dropped my 13000 mah charger at work and one of the usb charging ports stopped working…I called the company and explained what happened, even telling them it was my fault and asked if there was a way that I could send it in and possibly get credit towards a new one…they said they would just replace mine for free and no need to send on the old one, and told me that I could just keep it since the other port on it still worked…anker has my business for life…everytime someone asks about charging issues I always tell them to buy anker!

[@insidetechltd]

I’ve been using their products since before I was even in the tech industry. Always been reliable and always had good customer service too 👌🏼

@@insidetechltd did you rush out and get an anker 737?

[@davidunwin7868]

My first Anker device was a car charger with QuickCharge and IQ and its still going strong after 6 years. Since then ive bought other Anker high wattage chargers and powerbanks with no regrets. Its definitely my go-to brand.

[@BoStark]

Anker has been a favorite ever since I’ve got a cable from them. Even though it failed after a few years of use it’s good quality for the money. And nice design. Will try to hunt down the new Nano but it’s hard to find.

[@insidetechltd]

Same for me, love their cables. They're back in stock for me now, so hopefully they will be soon for you!

[@TH3mrBROWN]

My first Anker Products was a 10000 mAh battery pack, dual port usb charger, which I got in 2014. That thing is still going strong. Since then almost all 3rd party chargers, cables, or battery packs I’ve gotten have been Anker. I own about 30 Anker products myself and have recommended Anker to anyone that is looking to buy chargers or cables. My most recent order is for the Anker 737 24,000 mAh hour 140W battery pack/charger and a GaNprime 65W 3 port charger, which arrive in a few days. This video got recommended randomly today, and I’m watching just for the heck of it lol Go ahead, call me an Anker fanboy, I am one.

[@insidetechltd]

Some of my earliest tech products are Anker too! Thanks for watching this one though, I really appreciate it! Keep adding to your collection 🙌🏼

Extra honorable mention; The powercore fusion 10,000, it's a powerbank that also acts as a wall charger, up to 20w of charging from the USB c port, does really well as a backup while at work or on trips

Agreed. Just a shame the UK has 3-pin plugs so we can't get a sleek powerbank/wall charger combo

I have five Anker products, the 26800mAh battery bank, that came with a very nice wall wort. I also have the three panel Power Port Solar unit. Haven't had much need for it yet. Also, instead of having five wall worts plugged in all over the place, got the Anker 5 port USB charging hub. Very useful. I now have the 13000mAh compact battery bank, which I also got the clam shell case for. It will be my go to unit when I'm out bike riding and taking video. Anker makes a very good product and I'm happy with the items I have.

[@insidetechltd]

Does your PowerPort Solar unit actually work? I've had a couple in the past and mine never actually worked at all. Would be interesting to see how widespread this issue is since I know others have experienced it. Glad you've got a nice Anker collection too though! They make some awesome stuff 💪🏼

The 10K Wireless bank also has the trickle charge feature.

[@JenniferLaveryFBE]

I would so love it if Anker redeveloped their Thunderbolt 4 dock. I was going to buy it, but was disappointed that when I spoke to their customer service that all of the USB-A ports don't supply the usual 5V power. The CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 is still outstripping it in terms of features because of this, as well as having no DP outs. Have high hopes for future developments, though. They're always redeveloping. Happy to say the PowerExpand 7-in-1 has opened up many possibilities with the Chromecast, though! I've been an Anker fangirl for a number of years. Usually the build quality is fantastic.

[@insidetechltd]

That would be cool, but also the Apex dock has HDMI ports and the CallDigit dock doesn't. So it really depends on each person's setup as to which would be better!

They have loads of different power banks of varying shapes and sizes!

[@vktravellog1242]

Anker makes great and high quality products and everything have works great even after years of use! I just wish they make super compact power banks like nitecore nd10000 and mini cables with 4 in one connection. Otherwise their power banks are excellent and holds charge even after 6 months. Great great product!

[@thevegastan]

What sold me Anker for LIFE, was their plug-n-play, detach-and-forget magnetic kickstand ring that doesn't make your phone a comically wobbly nonsense that ONLY ANKER produces. The hinge is so solid even after 18 months of 18-hour daily usage it's so fucking crazy. When anyone asks about a kickstand that DOES NOT WOBBLE their phones when placed on the table, it's ALWAYS Anker for me. Best $15 I've ever spent!

[@insidetechltd]

Nice, I really like that stand too. The only problem I find is getting the metal loop out - a ridge or groove would've been nice here. Often need to detach it just to pop the loop out

[@zyerath]

[@gabrielboyfernandez6901]

Can i charge that heavy duty anker power house with a let's say another smaller capacity power bank?

[@insidetechltd]

I don't think so. The PowerHouse needs a much bigger power source to charge it up - plus you might find that the charging direction is to charge up the smaller bank instead

[@longrider42]

What about Android stuff? I cant afford Apple stuff, but I have a very nice Samsung Galaxy S10e smart phone. And it will charge on a wireless pad, but will the Anker Magnetic thing work with it?

Magnetic: no. Everything else: yes! You can technically lay your S10e on the magnetic wireless charger and it will charge, but I don't recommend this at all - far better options out there (including the other wireless charging power bank in this video!)

[@insidetechltd]

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be. You’ve just got to check the power requirements for your gaming laptop. If it’s 65 W or less, it’ll be fine (though most gaming laptops require much for than this). Yes, the power bank is designed for multiple charges

Is the USB C to lightening cable that comes with the newer iPhones the same wire as the one that comes with AirPods Pro or higher? as in the bandwidth and the charging speeds that can pass through the cables as I have two brand new Apple cables that came from two sets of AirPods Pro’s. I tried to use on a brand new Anker 20W charger, that every reviewer and every KZbinr claims charges 3x faster than the original 5W Apple charger and my iPhone Simply didn’t charge but stayed idle, and then used a different wire and charger to turn my iPhone on once it had died, the iPhone came on and when I plugged in the new charger and new wire, the iPhone started to lose battery percentage, from 3% to when it was turned on with old iPhone and powerbank, to 1% idle on the Apple certified new wire and new Anker 20W charger conclusion, I might return the Anker 20W charger or buy a different wire and try again please help

[@insidetechltd]

Yes it's the same one. If you try the cable with another charger and it works, then you know that it's the charger that's the problem and not the cable. Sounds like you could have a faulty charger

[@garyrowe58]

Just staying something can supply 30w isn't enough by itself ... you need to know the range of voltages it will support and how many amps it will supply at each.

[@insidetechltd]

I don’t cover the full tech specs because this would make the video excessively long. The information is available online - I only mention the wattage since power can be used as a relative comparison of speed (also correlates with what the industry typically uses for products like smartphones, so people can instantly see potential compatibility). This is based on the feedback I get from my audience, so it’s optimised for them and is the best way to balance being concise and informative in videos. Happy to answer specific questions you may have though!

[@garyrowe58]

@@insidetechltdThanks, I understand your point. I found it really difficult to find a power supply for my camera which needed 18w for charging and 27w for running from external power ... finding one that would supply 3a at 9v was made stupidly difficult by sites not specifying these figures, only watts. I wanted an Anker but noone would ship to me, found a local supplier of Aukey instead.

[@insidetechltd]

I think you should be pretty much safe with modern chargers/hubs anyway. They usually (especially with Anker) have a processor embedded which intelligently adjusts the power output based on the device’s needs. Overcharge protection is built-in. I hope the Aukey one works well though!

[@garyrowe58]

@@insidetechltd Yes, but i couldnt tell if a lot of the devices I checked out would actually make the camera function! They said how many watts, but unless they could deliver 9v at 3a then it would be a waste of money :( And most wouldn't say ... they waffle about loads of watts and supporting different phones, but are v short on tech details. Aukey and Anker seemed best at giving the full picture, so more power to them.

Which one? They all have some compatibility with Samsung phones as well. But the MagSafe battery pack will only attach and charge magnetically with an iPhone 12 or newer. To use that one with your Samsung phone (like all the other power banks) you’ll have to use a cable

[@stormrider01]

This panel can put out close to 100 watts kzbin.infoUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.

MacBooks are specifically Thunderbolt computers, not just USB-C, so that could be part of it.

I had quite a few things and then reached out to them to test out some of the newer products so I could make a guide on a wider range of products. As always my views are never influenced by any factors other than what I personally test and then feel about a product. There's no messaging here and Anker saw this video at the same time everyone else did (if they watched it, no idea!). I hope that helps 👍🏼

If that leads to a company no longer being willing to send things to review, so be it! The only reason i've been able to get review units sent to me, from any company, is by putting the work in building a channel with a good reputation for honest, impartial reviews. I understand that some viewers will remain skeptical, that's just part of the job. Every tech reviewer faces that.
