ANKER Portable Power Stations | Real world testing...

*100% best **Generater.Systems** I have used. A test for hurricane prep here in Louisiana: three AC units, 5000, 5000 & 8000, 3 fridges, 2 device power setups, 4 flat screens....AND I had 40% of the power meter to spare.*

I was just looking at these, then Talon brings out a review for us. Sweet!

Nice timing on this one. Have been thinking about something like this for some tent camping this year. Will have to compare the specs on these to the Jackery and see what else is out there.

Man I'm glad you made this video I have been looking at these for a couple weeks along with other brands but like you said everything that I have that's anker is great.

Cool stuff Talon, thanks for sharing!

I love my little anker power bank ! Definitely apart of my edc I keep it in my bag just for emergencies 👌🏾

Want to give all my fellow campers a heads up: Great as the Anker power banks are, some of their solar panels are not waterproof. IDK what that’s about since other manufacturers manage to make theirs waterproof.

I like Anker products. Their customer service has always been fantastic.

Nice, no-nonsense review from someone who has used the products! You have yourself a new subscriber 😊

Bro exactly the video I've been searching for!!! I've been looking to get a small power station so I could use on location with out having to use my 4runner to charge my camera/laptop equipment!

I have used Anker chargers for years and still have a couple that are probably 6 years old with thousands of charges on them, I would recommend any of their products from past experience and I am glad to see them making a even more powerful home unit, They are pricey but competive and exceed others with similar products on the market like goal zero,bluetti ect , From what I see the quality is better then competitors in bench testing with its nearest competitors and well laid out , so I will definately be buying more of their products in the future.

I have just bought the larger of these two Anker power systems and can’t wait to receive it. So far everything I have bought from Anker has been excellent. I picked the larger one to use at home when power goes out. I will connect my modem and a fan. If it is winter I will use it to run an electric throw on my bed for an hour. And I will charge my iPad and phone from this if the outage lasts so long that the little power banks for those are depleted.

Cool! Been looking for this type of charger. Subdued colors match my vibe.

99Wh batteries are the most you can take on a plane, the airlines won't let you bring these.

liked subscribed.....awesome review....just got the small one with the 100w anker solar panel...amazing for a weekend away! thanks for the review

Great review

In hot area of any state this wound be just perfect.( great item to review)

Iv been very happy with Anker products so will most likely go with one of these.

I’m in the market this year for a good power bank. These look solid, would love some feedback on charging the actual power banks, especially how they integrate (or don’t) with solar panel/blanket options that many of the competitors sell along side their power banks.

Cool review, Anker products have been consistently good (imo) for years. Your 5 yr old battery charger is proof 👍

This looks cool im gonna buy One!!

I have been in the market for a while now but haven't pulled the trigger. Should get more serious about buying one with Michigan camping season coming up! As always, great content, Talon! Much appreciated.

I own the 521, which I chose because of how tiny my JDM micro camper is. I was looking to keep my phone charged, have a light, run a fan…I’m happy with the purchase. Now it looks like I’m going to Maine for some winter camping so looking for something a little more powerful to periodically run a mini ceramic heater, 400 or 450 watt (confusing label).

Just ONE more thing 🤔 Great presentation 👍 Thinking about pulling the trigger on the new 555 1kwh..😊

I have a super old Anker battery that we still use weekly. They make good stuff! Get some solar panels for that thing and you are styling with a little off grid solution.

I have always had good luck with any of the Anker products I have used in the past. :)

Great vid, did you find the rear DC in on the 521 is not exactly snug? just wondering if my unit or normal. Also using it with a TopSolar 65w and it juices up super fast

Anker is legit for phone chargers. Good to see lithium iron. Especially w the price of nickel. (Elon has LOTS to say about the iron cells.) Thanks for this sir!!

Never in my life, did I see a fake outlet. But you certainly inspired me to find those stickers.

I can wait to buy one anker is so cool

Anker makes great products. Check out their new magsafe magnetic chargers. Basically the same as the old power bank you said you have but much more convenient to use

I been debating between this and jackery 300, i really just need it to run a box fan during hot Florida camping nights.. which do you recommend for just a box fan for couple hours a night max 2 nights

Can I still connect 200w solar panels to the 535 without damaging it? I know it only supports 120w max (I plan to upgrade the power station in the future)

Anker is excellent in their niche. Perhaps they should offer a ruggedized survival oriented portable power source and call it the Anker TSP! . Guess what the TS should stand for?! Cheers!

First time viewing your channel, very helpful review as I am considering the 521 vs 535. Just wanted to mention, I am sure this 521 battery is too large to board a plane in hand luggage, and therefore you would not be able to get through security and use. Limit is 100HW and the 521 is 256WH. Aside from that, great review :) will check out the rest of your channel

Using the car socket is more efficient, since you don't run the inverter (A/C plugs). I run 12v car plug from the truck to power station (to Charge and run frig) when truck on. Then the power station is plugged into portable frig with 12v plug. The frig then will run off power station when truck is off, since the trucks 12V to power station is then off. Just have to watch if truck is running more than a couple days because power station won't be getting re charged.

Talon nice video and super cool. Have you had any experience with Ego Power+, Goal Zero or Jackery power stations to compare the Ankers to? I been looking at the Ego and Goal Zero the past year but have not pulled the trigger on anything.

I love anker products. How does it compare to that Fanttic setup you’ve had in some of your recent camping videos? I’m definitely feeling out some camping options. Thanks!

If I’m in an emergency situation and I have this fcking thing I think im gonna be fine 😂 5:56

I don't think the 521 would be allowed on planes? Also for video work the new MacBooks are so efficient, would highly recommend

What’s the background music? I really enjoyed it

Question, can you OVER CHARGE the device? Can i leave plugged in all the time and set it ready for when i have to use it….will it over charge and burn out?

Are either of these powerful enough to charge a Onewheel XR?

Does anyone know how long it takes to fully charge this unit, and how long the batteries would hold a charge when not used? I was thinking about getting one of these as an emergency generator for the house.

How about after a hurricane. Can it be charged with solar power?

In order to prolong use... what is the lowest you should discharge it to? I know we should maintain 80% for storage but can not find the min discharge percentage. Thanks for this review.

So a qlima petrol heater at 88w will run for aprox 4 hrs, I guess thats enough for a winter evening with a power out.

Could you run led film lights off it?

What Laptop is it model + brand & how Long did it take to fully charge

Buying a 521 for my trip to CO! :{)>. See you in April!!!

I just Liked this Video and Subscribed to your channel ! I bought an
Anker 521 Power Station and hoping to locate a suitable adapter to
charge it with a Solar Panel. I have seen a few reviews on Amzon
that some folks are buying a common 8mm plug and have to cut or
modify the barrel to get it to fit. I have a ZAMP folding Solar
Panel with SAE connections. I understand that the Controller with
most Solar Panels needs to be Bypassed to properly charge most Power
Stations. I believe that Anker recommends using a 7.9mm plug also
know as a "7909 DC" to charge their Power Stations with a Solar
Panel. I am looking for a quality Plug and Play adapter / cable. Any
comments on what specific make and model of an adapter to fit an
Anker 521 to an SAE connection would be Great ! Thank You for taking
the time to Help me and lots of other owners of an Anker Power
Station :)

Which one will you recommend to run a full size refrigerator, a small fan and 1 or 2 LED light bulbs?

Hi Talon,, i have a question ,, can you charge and use it simultaneously? Thanks

can i use these to charge my electric skateboard?

Would you recommend the anker bank or jackery? I've seen everyone n their momma w a jackery. 🤙🏾

so it seems like everything you can run on this is essentially good for one day

The 521 can turn on the TV to ?

Could they run a power hose of 1700 w

Good review ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out

I would like to know. Of you can use it and charge it at the same time?

can the small one run a microwave?

is it 110v or 220v?

Does provide 12 volts outlet? Why the information is very poor!

I’m torn between Anker & Bluetti

Solar?

real question will you review the 757

Do an edit airplane only allow the max of 99watt hours. The 521 is 256watt hours

beard is looking thicccc

Regarding Airports:
That has to much capacity to be allowed on a airplane.

I doubt that you can bring in trough the security check in the airport 😅

The 521 is currently on sale for $195 with that Amazon link above 🤙🏼 not sure how long that will last. Good deal.

Thanks, bro. Especially your CBAP comment really helped me. That was the point that I was exactly looking for. Really great review.

WHO THE HECK PASTES FAKE OUTLET STICKERS AT AIRPORTS???
Thanks for this review - need a solution for 4 hour power outages here in South Africa for video editing so this was helpful.

Was this a paid promotion?

Don't use the wall wart to charge your laptop. Use the usb-C instead. You may get up to twice the run time.

Wonder if I can power an 8,000 BTU window unit?

E bike?

item currently not available in Amazon 😢

Still not getting notifications 😒

I have the larger MacBook Pro and if I plug in direct to USB instead of AC it’ll stay at 100% while I edit. the AC outlets on these power banks, regardless of brand, seem to be super inefficient

500 Bucks and they put 1 USB C... arggg lol

9:25 If I recall correctly, at least in the US, the maximum battery capacity for airplanes is 100Wh, so you couldnt bring that thing on a plane, so theres really no reason to take it to the airport.

Can I connect my desktop monitors on it?

Your intro music is louder then a 50,000 Watt car audio system.

It’s lithium IRON phosphate, not ion. It’s better than the latter. Doesn’t degrade as fast as lithium ion.

dont buy them i have one that goes from 30% to 0 second it shows 30% it just shuts off

I rather keep my arkpak and my 100AH chin battery that I recharge with my Honda eu2200i. All three was less the 1500 dollars

Please people, don't take these devices on any aircraft st any time, I heard the gentleman mention the word airport.
Let's be smart please, the world is crazy enough as it is!
