Are you planning on getting one of these Anker power banks? If so, which one? Btw the charging results when charging the power banks towards the end of the video were from 0-100% 👍

I bought the 737 and the 735 Nano II 65W charger. I like having the option of using the USB A port on the Nano to slow charge the 737 overnight to extend its battery life.

Its surprising how much the 737 outperforms its 200W successor. Yes they came out with a 250W but the sales going on right now give the 737 a big advantage imo. Thanks for the info

I'd say the 250W Prime powerbank is the true successor to the 737. It, like the 737, features 140W output and input and 21V 5A PPS support, which the other two Prime's don't have. In addition, the 250W Prime also beats the 737 in battery capacity, charging efficiency, and thermal performance.

737 owner here. Agree 100% with your video. Very happy to see your video comparing them! Thank you.

Superb review and comparison, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

Almost bought the Prime 200 Watt and then saw the 737 was on sale for the same price and managed to find this video to compare the two and ended up buying the 737! Thank you very much for this (:

Thank you for making this KZread video. It's very informative.

thank you for making this video. super helpful!

This is the video I was looking for

The charging base makes it worth it for me. It's saved me so many times during power outages. When you have to actually plug the thing in, and use up a c cable, and wall adapter, you're only going to charge it when you expect you need it or it completely dies. The charging base gives it a "home" i put it there every time I'm done using it or cleaning which means I always have 27,000 MAh available to me, which is a life saver during a power outage.

When I am buying powerbanks, the right balance between size and capacity is important. I would not carry anything too bulky. After all these will be carried and not used at home. So apart from the 12K one I find the others overkill. 10K powerbank don't really charge with 65W so I could not even charge my laptop. It's not easy but thanks for the video.

The review I was looking for. 737 on sale is the one. Thank you !

​@@SimplyV3rnaThe Prime 250 did not perform well. It took more than 38 min. to charge . When it said 100 % charged , it was not. It took about an hour to charge it . 50 min. for the 737. The lights were not accurate. The Prime 250 didn't charge my phone that much more. I don't need pass through charging. $175 for the Prime 250 and I paid $175 for 2 737.

I agree with this ... The 250 watt Anker prime isn't worth the cost of upgrade for slightly more power and features. 737 is a beautiful power bank

Thanks..excellent video, all information that I was looking for…

Just scored one, 737, on Amazon, 88 bucks .. can’t wait to receive it

I hope Anker fixed compatibility issues on their new power banks because my brand new 737 24k power bank doesn't Super Fast Charge Samsung Ultra phones and it also has an issue where it keeps resetting the charge when plugged into my Strix Scar laptop's PD port, rendering it useless for laptop charging. Anker has admitted there was a PPS compatibility issue with Samsung phones and Lenovo laptops (or Asus ROG, in my case).

I have the 737. I’ll be sticking with it. I might get a smaller power bank, for more portability.

Thanks a lot! You are the best

Professional evaluation, I believe that only good quality products can withstand the test.

I have a 737. Just been considering the 200w 20k prime for size and weight differences. As I’d be using it as a power solution when out hiking.

It would’ve been nice for you to dive a little bit deeper into the features of the prime, power banks, like how you can set your phone to finish charging to 100% at a specific time when you wake up for example. I think that is very important and advantageous to these models, as we think about long-term battery health.

I have the 200wat basically used for my s22ultra and my kids iphone 11s more than enough👍🏾

Can I charge the 737 from a small portable solar panel?

In my country, the price of 737 and 250W prime is not much different. Can you give me advice on which type to buy for convenience and long-term use?

What is the name of the charging base, if possible? Where did you buy it from?

Got the Prime 250W at a massive sale. 1. It has PASSTHROUGH charging! Powerbank can be charged while charging another phone. 737 can’t do that. 2. The remaining charge time calculator is an important feature for regular user who is not familiar with maH stuff. 3. Bigger screen and bt connectivty is a QoL improvement. 4. Worth it if also on sale.

I use my iPad pro for gps (Gai app)off road riding and even while plugged into a usb power outlet it can’t keep up. I believe it uses a lot of power trying to get a cell signal (which isn’t usually available but needed to keep my google earth maps). Do you think a power bank would help?

theres a good powerbank called the Uze bold 2 but the price tag is too pricy at 300 usd... for now its just the anker 737 250w powerbank

If considering in my place they both are at the same price (and for 737 I have to get through non official store) which do you think better ? Is it worth it to get 737 with the same price ?

Ive had several shargeek and they have all broken down. Im not rough with my devices, and only use it occasionally for my ipad and phone. The last one was the storm 2 slim and it is bricked saying that it cant charge because the temperature is too low. Upon checking the internet, there is tons of people with the same issue. It appears to be the thermistor. Shargeek will not exchange it, the most they will do is give you a card for a discount on a new one. That is actually the reason that im here looking at this review, because i need a new powerbank. The shargeek is now a very expensive paper weight.

what cables are you using? there's no direction on what cables i need to recharge my laptop.

I don’t have a base, can I Recharge the 250w bank using both usb-c ports at the same time?

Thank you!

Hello Please what is the cover you use for your macbook ?

Just bought the 737 new for 100 €. Spending an extra 70 € on the Prime 27k doesn't make sense to me considering the minor improvements it provides. I could almost buy two 737s for that money 😅 Anyway, great comparison, thank you! 😊

I’m gonna buy these thanks

If it's not gonna charge your laptop once, I don't understand the point of the powerbanks as they are very heavy. I unfortunately can't find a reliable alternative in the Netherlands. I know Baseus and Ugreen will have problems after short amount of use. Powerbank upgrades are too slow. :(

Can I use all three ports at the same time? I assume the Mah is at 3.4v.

Great test ! thank you

how come the 250 for example charges the MacBook faster than the 200 but the MacBook only can charge 100w?

I really would love the Anker Prime 250W bank to charge my DJI Mavic 3 charging hub that uses 100W to charge 3 5000mAh batts. I have an Anker PowerCore Elite III that puts out 60W and is 25,600 mAh but it loses a lot of power due to heat. I also like the fact that all theses from the 737 to all the primes, that they have 100W Super Fast charging and take roughly an hour to charge up....whereas mine takes about 2.5 - 3 hrs ti charge with its included 65W brick

That’s a good question.

My video was not intended for that. I was just trying to give a general overview of the charging speeds and tests with the devices I have.

Makes me wonder if the BT function causes a constant power drain on the 250 prime.

Real world battery is actually 1.5x lower than the rated capacity due to efficiency lost at best. which means your 24k mah battery only have 16k mah. couple this with further efficiency lost along your charging cable and your charging device, you'll get that result.

@chrish3305

The 24000mah is measured at the nominal voltage of a single lithium battery cell - 3.7v. The Mac 8600mAh battery quoted is likely to be at around 11.1v, or 3 times 3.7v - so it’s not a fair comparison. What we should be comparing is Wh. The Anker 737 is 86.4Wh. The Mac would be 95.46Wh (11.1v x 8.6A). So there is not enough capacity in the 737 to fully charge the Mac even before the inefficiencies are considered. Many tests put the 737 true output at around 72-75Wh after the inefficiencies. A lot less than the 95Wh of the Mac fully charged. So, in summary the 24,000mAh IS a marketing scam, in a way because it’s not a true measure of the energy stored. All power banks should be advertised by Wh

Why are these so expensive. They have the same wattage as a typical drill battery. Should be about $50 each.

I was just reading up on that reg so I could meet and not exceed it. The watts specified above (130W, 200W, 250W) refer to the max transfer rate across all ports. TSA specifies 100 watt-hours (Wh) capacity as the limit . The largest Anker Prime's 27650mAh capacity is 99.54Wh, so any of these models are good for carry-on luggage. Guessing that's why Anker capped it there.
