Anker 521 Review | Best Solar Generator for Camping?! | Finding the limit

Here's my quick review of the Anker 521 Solar Generator. I use this around the house and especially for camping. In this video I power all sorts of different devices you might take with you outdoors or camping. I even find the generator's limits using a space heater. Thanks for watching!

    Fantastic presentation 10/10 One thing you forgot to mention don’t leave unit out in the sun whilst solar charging as it will overheat the power station , try and position in the shade Thanks again from England UK

    Thank you very much. I'm glad it could help. I actually just used mine today charging some gopro batteries while off grid. Cheers!

    I can’t get my display to show power out. Does it not work if you are 💯?

    It should work regardless of the state of charge. Maybe try plugging in something different and seeing if it then shows power output?

    @@ThomperBeThompin so, camped with my knockout O2 Cool fan. Turned it on and fell asleep to find it off. I had it in the power saving mode. Again this fan doesn’t show watts being used. Do you think this somehow uses such little amount that it falls under whatever it takes to trigger the power saving mode?

    @@RobBardgett likely not. Even when you have the onboard light on, it shows a 2-watt draw. You may have a faulty unit. It's tough to say without physically seeing it to be able to diagnose

    @@samuelmensalvas9990 it might be close. Volts x Amps = watts. So 100 x 1.8 = 180 at a minimum in your scenario. I'd get the size up to be certain.
