Anker Prime 27,650mAh Power Bank real-life test: ditching the wall charger

Check out the Anker Prime Power Bank and Anker Charging Base from @AnkerOfficial

In this video, I put the Anker Prime 27,650mAh Power Bank to the test by ditching the usual wall chargers I take with me when I travel and relying exclusively on the Power Bank on a 41-hour trip.

This is probably the best power bank review on the Internet bar none. It's so practical

[pault]

8:27 After depleting to 0%, you said all you have to do is put the device on the charging base - which isn't true. When you did so, it can be seen in the display that no charging was in progress. Anker advises to "charge it through the USB-C port until it reaches at least 1%. After that, you can use the magnetic base to wirelessly charge the power bank." This information is not in the owner's manual so I assume many people will assume something is broken. It would be helpful if you clarified that you had to use a cable to get the recharge initiated.

I'm not going to lie, I felt battery anxiety at the start when you said you weren't going to bring a wall charger on your trip :D

Another benefit with one of those power banks is you don't have to worry about "Juice Jacking"

I purchased the Prime 250 last week during a trip to Germany. As demonstrated in your video, it never charges over 40 watts. I took my iPad M4 Pro, Airpods Pro 2, and Samsung S22 Ultra. Charging time was slow, and superfast charging never enabled.
I sent it back yesterday, and Anker is sending a replacement.
I'm not really enthusiastic, though it's a great idea.

does it tend to heat up when charging using the wireless charging base?

My power bank 200 never shows charging at 100w from the charging base. I only see 47w or 22w all the time. Why don’t I get the full 100w charging.

I'm wondering if I can take that plus my Apple Vision Pro batteries. 27K mAh total or per powerbank? I'll call the airline to inquire.

Will this charge a All in one Desktop PC, in case we dont have Electricity ❓️
Please let me know

[djradman]

What’s the best alternative charging plug you have tested with the battery if I don’t have the base with me. Do you feel the base is light enough to travel with?

[aq]

Driving from Cleveland to Louisville would have been so much easier.

How good is the 200W anker powerbank in real life scenario ?

[johnscotlinksl]

Whats your opinion on leaving battery banks plugged in / fully charged all the time? I have the same setup as you, battery and base but I dont use my battery much, but I want it to be charged when I need it.

[djradman]

What brand usb-c cable are you using? Great review!! Will you be doing one like this with the prime 20000 battery?

[andywkeith]

Came here for the review, and now curious what kind of jacket that is???

[Iceyxkid]

May i ask do you keep it docked when not in use/ would you keep it docked if you don't already do so? Contemplating if i should just leave it on the docking station or not.

[jishperado]

I have one anker prime 27000 the issue and I am 13 pro max user, anker is new to me and it’s not stop charging after 100 % so it’s keep charging and drying out easily !! Any one have same issue ???

[AchiragChiragg]

I thought 27000mAh was the upper limit that was allowed on flights?

[RIP....]

What is the point for the battery count how many time your screen was on :))

[Hisenormity]

As the percentage of battery left is just a guess based on an algorithm, how accurate would you say it is? Did the percentage plummet when it got down to 20% or anything like that?
