kzread.info/dash/bejne/maaDu9eKdtK3k7Q.html 👈🏻Here's my video on the Prime 200W! Also super fast, but a bit more compact!

I got the original 737 for $100 in U.S. It came in very handy through my recent Pakistan trip where power was intermittent! Charging multiple GoPros, phone, and microphones. Very occasionally my laptop. I can’t imagine needing to charge at over 100W. So I’m still very happy with the previous model for anyone thinking about the new model.

That’s amazing! Yeah the 737 is still a great buy and with enough power for most people. Plus I’ve seen it get discounted now that the Prime lineup has launched. Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

Quick Note! The recharge estimates at 5:16 are based off of my devices which have around 88-90% health. You'll get slightly more or less depending on your battery health! Also, filmed this in the middle of a heatwave if I look like I’m dying.. 🥵 Let me know what you think and what your fastest charger is! 🔌⚡️

The reason for the USB-A port is I believe due to a number of USB-C devices not supporting the PD standard for charging. When they are plugged into a USB-C PD port, no negotiation takes place, and they fail to charge. They come with a USB-A to USB-C cable for that reason.

Thanks - always wondered why my devices that come with a USB-A to USB-C cable would never charge with just USB-C

I’m happy it has a A port still I have a lot of devices that require a A Port to charge or run off of like a usb fan, AirPods, etc.

Great video. Very informative. Thanks for doing what you do. I used to ask myself the same question about USB-A still being on devices until I realized I still have some old devices that I still use that can only charge with USB-A.

More like 60%... about 40% is lost due to heat and energy transfer. So on the 737 which has a 24K mAh capacity, you're only gonna get about 13-14K mAh in reality

I don't mind the A port as there are some devices even recent ones that come with a type c to a cable to protect the battery life apparently like my Marshall Middleton bt speaker. That being said I would've liked an extra type C port AND I hate the bigger glossy front part, I feel like they could've just made it a little bigger to accommodate the bigger screen but those tend to scratch easy and like you said are fingerprint magnets.

@ArenaDigitala same with me. While I love USB C, I've ammased a considerable amount of tech I'm not willing to part ways with from the pre-C era (plus think of the senseless e-waste decommissioning it just for the port!). Many people will still need an A port for a number of years. At a random totally uneducated guess, I would say at least 5 more years (possibly 10) before the technology using the A ports becomes completely obsolete. Even longer for specialist hardware. Look at how many professional/industrial components still need a DB9 (serial) port!

Our power goes out on occasion so was looking for a power bank that could recharge my iphone 13 pro, new iwatch and if need be my Mac Pro laptop. I saw your review of the Qi2 Mag Go 3 in 1 which would be great for traveling but if need be could I plug that into the Anker Power Bank if our electricity is off. I know the Mag Go has to be plugged in which normally will be ok but I definitely need a more robust power bank for the house. Thank you for any input!

I’ve been looking for something like this for my hyperpack so I can know what’s going on without rummaging around for the battery and unplugging everything to know what capacity my battery is at and monitor the charging of my devices / the battery.

What if you charge the power bank with two chargers from the 2 ports?

Base is definitely not wireless charging, it has pogo-pins for connecting with the power banks pads on the bottom. Maybe it can be called plugless charging? Can't wait for this to hit Europe, been wanting a high power power bank for a while.

They both have the ports but the info isn’t available.
