⚡️THIS is a BEAST! Anker 757 Portable Power Station Test and Review

[@mikecarroll970]

Good review Scott, thanks. I just purchased one of those units a few weeks ago and really like it. We are using ours as a home backup for when we lose power and also for use in our truck camper to run the microwave and coffee maker when boondocking.

[@Stonyboot]

I’ve been impressed with it. It’s simple and works well. The Lithium iron phosphate chemistry is a big step forward in life span. I’ve used it since I made the video for a bunch of stuff, a big one is running fans all day to keep us cool in the Texas heat.

[@itsdavejustdave4876]

It’s awesome to see Adam Sandler doing these type of videos 😁

[@Stonyboot]

Adam wasn’t available for shooting that day ;)

[@johndeleo1929]

Thanks for the review. Just ordered this at the Prime Day price of $700. Can't wait!

[@Stonyboot]

I use mine all the time, it works great! Enjoy!

[@paulhudson8321]

Excellent honest review on the product Scott. It would be a handy backup and portability for a power source.

[@Stonyboot]

Agreed. One thing I didn’t mention in the video is that it switches fast enough to be used as a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for computers and other stuff that needs to stay on all the time. Pretty fancy.

[@ronbolejack1803]

I got the anker 767 with the extra power unit and solar panels. I hope I'll enjoy it at my cabin as much as you seem to be enjoying yours

[@Stonyboot]

That’s great! You’ll have to let me know how it works out.

[@nhbomar]

Thanks Scott - excellent review - very informative.

[@1Troutguy]

Mine is coming Saturday, got 200.00 off, less then the Jackery 1500. I do fishing trips in Colorado/Wyoming, looking forward to having this beast

[@jlfa4720]

Great info. Curious now since it’s been a year how it has held up for you qnd your needs etc. Tx.

[@Stonyboot]

It’s been great. I’m mostly using it under my computer desk as a UPS and charging station. I also took it on a few road trips to keep my electronics and cooler running while the truck was off at night. The 767 units I have now are in my Trailer running that. I really have no complaints about the functionality or durability. Good overall units.

[@permagenix]

Fantastic review. I really appreciate all of the time and effort that went into this.

[@richardpowell4281]

Great review! Anker sell this as a bundle with 3x 100W solar panels for $2,000. And that is VERY tempting after seeing this review. I live in an area regularly hit by hurricanes and tornadoes. I prepare a lot for emergencies and other things. This looks like it would be a good investment.

[@jlfa4720]

If you see this in time, they’re having a prime day sale. On their site says sold out but on Amazon you can still buy, it said sold out this am on there too but not this afternoon. I just picked one up for 50% off, so 799. I can’t wait to receive it. Good luck.

[@jlfa4720]

And I bought two solar panels at 100$ off each too.

[@cambodianriverpig7613]

would be cool to test the solar panels and tell us how long it takes to charge!

[@IlluminatiSilver]

is the PowerOak AC200P Portable Power Station Solar Generator with 2000Wh LiFePO4 Battery 2000W Inverter not better value?

[@n6cid]

Pretty cool Scott! Over in southern New Mexico we've been getting hit off and on with our monsoon weather as of late with flash flood warnings. Needless to say the 100 degree weather is at the norm this time of year except the humidity has been a pain around 40 to 80 percent. I'll be glad when we get back to 16 percent.

[@petermilton9373]

Great review. Is the solar input a proprietary socket? I already have solar panels with Anderson plugs.

[@test-193]

Thanks for the info, nice review. One quick note: If this is similar to other LFP units, it will be a "4S" configuration and each cell will contribute 3.20 Volts nominal (3.65 Volts when fully charged). Thus your math at 0:49 should be 1229Wh / 12.80 Vnom = 96 Amphours. That's not significantly different than you reported (102.4 Ah), but just trying to fairly compare Apples to Apples. LOL. ADDITIONAL NOTE: If Anker has varied the battery Voltage inside this unit to some other value, (like 25.6 Volts) the calculations will obviously change. The important thing to remember is that the Watthours won't change, but it's not as easy to compare Amphours @ 25.6 Volts to a different battery Amphours @ 12.80 Volts. In short, if the Voltage is increased by a factor of two, then the Amphours will decrease by a factor of two. Thanks again for the info on this unit.

[@jenbrazell7301]

How many amp and volt of solar can it take. My ff power is 2000 watt. It weighs 50 lbs. It takes 500 watts of solar but you can only do 48v 10amp.when you do series and parel it easy to go over the amps.

[@Stonyboot]

I’m not sure of the voltage. IIRC, it takes up to 300 watts of solar.

[@mygtr2021]

thanks for the review. thanks for sharing Question; how loud are the fans on the inverter? in case for use indoors. thanks

[@Stonyboot]

The fans are quiet. They usually don’t run, but the higher the load the faster they will spin. If you are running light loads like a laptop, charging devices or other low wattage devices, the fans will stay off. If you need to run a heater, or anything that draws more than 500ish watts, the fan will kick on. The more wattage you draw, the more the fans will spin. Even on high, they are still fairly quiet.

I may have missed it in the video, but does anyone know the length of the XT60/car socket cord? Thanks!

[@drcsep]

Outstanding review amigo. I have my eyes on it. I trust anker. I have several power banks, usb outlets and hubs. I need that 757 for completion of my solar power system since I own Bluetti AC200p and EcoFlow Delta Pro already. Gracias. Cuídensen.

Thanks for watching. Anker makes quality stuff, that’s why I was happy to review it. It makes my life easier. It works as advertised and expected!

[@elisimecka4528]

How are you mounting starlink antenna

[@Stonyboot]

We recently made a video about our Starlink set up!

[@salmanalghatam8173]

I have the #Anker757 and used it on my desert trip with the 300w soler, it is a BEAST!! more then enough to power the camp and to keep my #Domitec 92 CRX3 ruining the hole time. I think the fast charging is the key for it to stand up for its readiness. It did handle the work all day specially when we make coffee on the Nespresso machine.

[@doctorcopper4844]

Excellent review- thank you

[@Stonyboot]

Thank you 😄

[@pauladams4833]

Do you have a soft start on your A/C? And what did the wattage spike to on compressor startup

[@Stonyboot]

I don’t have a soft start. I usually run it off of my Xantrex XC 2000, which handles it fine without a soft start. I’m this case, I just started it like normal. Unfortunately, the wattage display isn’t fast enough to show the true start up load. My ac states something like 54 amps locked rotor start up, but that is only a few milliseconds. I’d love to have a device fast enough and sensitive enough to show true start up draw. Either way, the 757 started it up without a problem. Granted, 102 amp hours would only give me about 1-1.5 hours of run time, but it’s still pretty cool!

[@johnhuff393]

Good evening from Godley Texas, I was next door at Dinosaur Valley State Park June 19-23 and snuck over to say hi. Sadly I didn't see your camper. I'm guessing you were in Arizona. Stay safe and happy travels 😎

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks for watching :)

[@CAESAR_IS_GOD_mohammadisaloser]

do you happen to know of a good portable battery solution that I can use with a holographic fan so I can walk around in public with the holographic fan? they say the holographic fan requires 60 watts. ALSO, is it safe to keep the power station in a ventilated backpack on your back? like will the elecromagnetic radiation give me back cancer or something? any (brand/model) recommendations ? I just want the smallest power supply I can find that can power it for at least 1-2+ (2+ preferably) hours.

[@Stonyboot]

This unit would be a little big to carry around, but if your fan requires 60 watts and you want to run it for 2 hours, that's only 120 watt hours. If you look for a power station in the range of 400-600 watt hours, you will have plenty of run time and, it will be smaller and lighter for portability. As for EM radiation, everything electronic emits some, but a battery pack is minimal. Cell phones create more ionizing radiation than most other consumer electronics. I don't think you should be concerned.

[@tompredmore]

Good, quality review

[@Stonyboot]

Thanks for watching!

[@secretjourney4815]

Can someone help me understand here? When he turned the AC on, it read 0.7 HR left. So this would drain in less than an hour of AC use? Thanks for the help.

[@Bertaphone]

You are correct.

[@JeffersonRah]

I'm assuming 52v to 72v ebike would be able to charge on these

[@charlesd3376]

You statement of "Longest lasting on the market". I'm curious in what way. Having 1229Wh, I've seen others with larger Wh, with same battery chemistry. New to the solar generator scene. Can you clarify your statement?

[@Stonyboot]

It’s referring to the battery chemistry. Their LFP battery chemistry is rated for 3000 full charge cycles. Other portable power stations use different lithium chemistries that are rated in the 800-1200 charge cycles. So that statement is referring to longevity/lifespan of the equipment, not how long it will last on a charge. That watt hour number is the standard for comparing battery capacity. Does this make sense?

[@charlesd3376]

@@Stonyboot OK. Thank you for clarification. Other units I have looked at with LiFePO4 (such a BLUETTI and the OUKITEL) have such claims. Looks like OUKITEL P2001 beats out ANKER for Wh, solar input and inverter size for same price at $1399.00.

[@Stonyboot]

I think that at the time of release, that claim was accurate, however, several companies came out with similar units within about 60 days of each other. So that claim may no longer hold true. There is fierce competition in the portable power station market.

[@bubblegum6766]

How hot is too hot for this thing to be stored? What if I leave it in my car on hot days?

[@doug2078]

Great review Scott !! Im definitely considering one for home backup. And to have in my truck for weekend and day trips. Any idea How long the unit will stay 100% charged if not using ?

[@Stonyboot]

Hi Doug, that’s a great question. I want able to find any official numbers on the self discharge rate. Lithium Iron Phosphate generally has a 2%/month self discharge rate. So pretty minimal. I would imagine that the Anker 757 does have some residual power draw while in standby, but it would be minimal. I would hazard a guess at 2%-4% / month.

[@Stonyboot]

Why?

[@John-gm8ty]

sure, these are nice, but the capacity you can build for the same price, if you have the skills, is SO much more. this is for those that can't, and you pay for it, large. it is convenient and a small package, but the price for what it IS, is insane. $3k Au.

[@Stonyboot]

Of course you could build something with greater capacity. But to get the size, integration of components and ease of use, I think that’s beyond 99.9% of DIYers.

[@John-gm8ty]

@@Stonyboot git good! (ahh my humour) yes, very much beyond DIYers. Off-Grid Garage (Australian solar diy project) built a truly massive home battery for the views, worth checking out, all step by step learning as he built. it's an impressive setup and worth checking out.

Thanks, I’ll watch it now :)

[@seanoleary1979]

"We didn't want to run a noisy, smelly generator..." 😆 My Honda 3000IS is so quiet, we forget it's on! It runs for 24+ hours straight before needing to refuel with a minimum load, and when it's outside, NO ONE ever smells it. Let's not forget it's dead stone reliable and has electric start! But your unit sure is nice - especially with the solar reacharging capability and long (alleged) cycle life.

[@Stonyboot]

With an extension cord all is possible. But it was a nice quick setup to get things running again.

[@becausehelivesministryintl6841]

I would like to know how much these cost? Thanks

[@Stonyboot]

A current google search shows them at a consistent $1399.00

[@ourtimetorv3151]

Nice job on the review. Thorough and professionally done. Sounds like a great product. Anker makes good stuff……IMO. Hope all is well.

[@Stonyboot]

I agree. I’ve used Anker products for years and they have always been excellent. This unit is really built to last, and the 5 year warranty is pretty impressive. Other brands will have to play a little catch up.

[@adrianb6073]

A 2200 watt inverter generator that sells for $500 (Top of the line Honda is $1100) will run an 1800 watt load for 3.2 Hours (5760 wh)…versus Anker’s running a max 1500 watt load for 49 minutes (1229 wh) for $1300-$1400. Fuel the inverter in 3 minutes and your back up and running. Hard to give an honest review when you were given the product.

[@andymc1110]

Yep, that's a good contrast. Lifetime running cost might be different, but for single-use the generator gives way more for the money. The other main limitation I see is the 300W max solar input. From most locations, you'll only get something like 10-30% capacity charge per day.

[@laborspy]

So many cheaper options. Anker is $1.03 kWh vs others which are $0.50. So unsure why Anker thinks theirs is worth more.

[@29erallday]

@@andymc1110 think you got some learning to do, 300 watts is 300 watts an hour, for 4 hours a day can easily get 66% if aimed right = 600 watts plus 33% for another 2 hours = total 800 watts and 10% for another 2 hours = total of 1,000 watts. And that's being conservative and not having panels aimed throughout day. On a sunny day is easy to get back to 100%

[@1Troutguy]

That's not comparable. It's not apples to apples.

[@gregoire8376]

And then you "accidentally" spill gas filling the Honda, and everything in the camper smells like gasoline all night. Geez. Not to mention the pain in the butt having a gasoline powered generator when your truck camper rig is diesel. Where do you store the Honda and the 5 gallons of fuel? Right!? :-)

your an awsome dude but u know like i do that duel fuel 4k watt generator is needed for a back up that anker is bad ass!!! but but we use echo flow with solar panels but we boon dock thats it... nooo rv parks man. so we need continues power thats where the solar panels come in but no sun due to overcast thats where we use the 4k watt to charge the echoes back up and the 4 k watt runs on propane no gas dont use it. so thats our power solution that works the anker is great but whats your recharge solution to keep it topped off. ahhh ok solar.. but wht do you use when u have no sun with overcast and....the rv batts are done , see how that 4 k watt comes into play . u dont ever wanna be in that where u are out in the middle of no where RV batts are done due to runing the AC all day and the solar batts dead cuz of overcast that was horrible for us

very true.....

[@duanecg]

What I want to know would it last 7 days charging 2 tablets 3 phones and 1 light strip running 2 hours each night...

[@Stonyboot]

You’d need to figure out total power needs. There are huge variations in power needs between devices and how much you need to charge them each day. It sounds entirely probable with what you’ve mentioned, but no way for me to actually calculate it.

[@offgridtrek]

You missed the most important feature, charging from Solar. All manufacturers that offer poor solar charging means they are scrimping on most other internals hence the price and why I would never rely on these for real life dependency in these interesting times. 300W charging excluding the most important information Volts and Amps for charging from solar means you will be lucky to get 200W (maybe) for a short period of time during the day when the sun is at its highest, as shown from your review and their website. Simple math, which you should of included in this video being all of the other factors do not matter if you cannot charge this from Solar if the grid is down. 1229Wh battery capacity divided by lets say 150W if lucky being they purposely left out the Solar Volts and Amps which is WAY more important than Watts would equal to 8.2hrs of charging from sun if you were lucky enough to. Not trying to be a dick however we are to be politically correct in interesting times, time for the community and everyone to start working together to help everyone out

[@larrycernilli6474]

I have this unit. And it has a MPPT solar charge unit that will utilize available current up to 10amps and available voltage up to 30vdc together. So, to get the 300 watts input you would need 30vdc at 10amps. Also the current supply can exceed 10 amps. (It will only use 10amps of available power) but the Voltage MUST be 30vdc or less or else it will stop charging 👍. It will and does charge the unit on my 30vdc 400watt panel setup in about 4.5 hours from dead to about 97%. I love this thing 👍

[@moustachemike7128]

ok great... limits ?? how long can ya power a home or rv heating system or just a heater ..frig and lights ..and what happens if the power is out for days and no sun..so then your back to using a fuel generator to recharge the solar unit and keep the rv and or home with family alive....??? we have installed for power outage the generac system ...full auto and it rocks..Ca has the worst governor and power grid which he lets turn the power off when ever they want so ya can't even rely on PG&E..and its been down for days..in the summer and winter...So i guess its better then nothing but have a backup to a backup.cheers..

[@Stonyboot]

Each use case is different. You have to know what you’re using, a mini fridge vs a large residential fridge are going to require vastly different amounts of power. The watt-hour rating are mentioned and you can calculate run time based on the power requirements of the devices you want to run. I don’t think this is a replacement for home backup generator. It’s great to run appliances on the road for short periods of time. If you are setup at a camp and have solar deployed, it will increase your runtime because you will be adding power back to the system. There are too many use cases for me to try to cover them in a review video. The Anker site publishes run times for individual devices based upon averages. For your situation, I’d say a trust gas generator is your best bet!

PAID REVIEW

[@pierreblanchard3340]

Scott I’m surprised that you’re reviewing a product from a company that sponsors you. Not a good idea.

[@Stonyboot]

I’m not sure what you mean, they sponsor me in the sense that they provide a product to review. It’s the entire point of the arrangement.

[@pierreblanchard3340]

If you aren’t paying for the product with your own money it’s pretty hard to give an honest assessment when they are supporting you financially.

[@Stonyboot]

I get tons of offers every month. I only work with companies that I believe are worthy. You’re assuming that I’m not being honest. I have to cover the details of the product, use it for a while and give an honest review. If it broke, didn’t work as advertised or I had some other problem, I would report that in the video. I actually recorded that 4 weeks ago, I’m still using the 757 for projects and to run fans during the day. It still works. My one gripe is that the display doesn’t stay on long enough. But that is only annoying while trying to record. I have received many products that I refused to review because they are trash. Anker makes great stuff. I’m happy to work with them. It’s nice to make a little money for the video, but I absolutely would not lie about the results.

[@pierreblanchard3340]

I wasn’t assuming you were being dishonest, you both come across as just the opposite. My point was simply that human nature being what it is it is awfully tempting to overlook some little things rather than lose a good sponsor. Personally I would rather avoid that temptation. Good for you for the honest reviews, we enjoy the you both.
