Anker Prime 27,650mAh Power Bank With Base

This bank is amazing!! It can identify the wattage need for the specific device and deliver the maximum amount of wattage that devices can withstand.
The crystal clear display shows your the three outputs and the wattage they are delivering. This is a truly super fast charger that can charge a laptop with enough juice to maintain current charge and slowly charge it to 100 percent. (This is my opinion based on heavy laptop use such as gaming, and not low use such as documents and Excel). It charges your mobile device as fast as the charger that came in the box. (For modern users who haven’t gotten a brick in the box with your phone, it charges to max limit the battery your phone can withstand).
The added app with Bluetooth can show you realtime information of charging status. It includes other very informative information such as amperage, input power, output power and battery cycle.
It does get a tad warm upon charging multiple devices, nothing I would consider a risk.

TWO MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS! Please read and consider!

First and probably most important. Not all USBC-C cables are built the same. To benefit from this bank, look for a cable that’s rated up to a max of 240W. One is supplied in the box, but it is short. Maybe a foot.

Second. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND buying the base that charges this and acts as a power supply for other devices. The base only supplies a max of 100W. Keep that in mind for multiple devices charging. ALSO there is NO pass through charging with the base through the bank to a device. Honestly you wouldn’t need it. The bank charges the device from zero to 100 in under an hour, and the bank actually puts out more (240w total).

Although both can be expensive, individually and collectively, if you are a person whom travels and needs a constant bank of power for multiple devices, GET BOTH. The base charges the bank so fast! You will not be disappointed.

For me, this is the best powerbank. It is bigger than other powerbanks, this is because of the capacity, but it is not bothering me. Very fast charging!

This is an impressive product overall. I use it for quickly recharging multiple devices including phones, tablets and laptops. The main goal was to get more battery time on my laptop which normally lasts about 6 to 10 hours. However, if I forget to recharge the laptop before leaving for a meeting, I can end up with a near dead battery. This is where this Anker Power Bank shines. Actually it REALLY SHINES. I can easily add at least 6 hours of full video playback on Wi-Fi with one charge. I am never going to run out of power accidentally again.

It can charge up to 3 devices simultaneously and show you how much power draw each of the device is taking and how much time is left on the power bank until complete depletion. Charging your devices is very fast overall. However, what impresses me even more is when I recharge the power bank using both a 65W and a 45W inputs at the same time. 110W recharging speed. You can literally watch the percentage indicator going up. I plugged the charger at 92% last night for a quick top-up and it was back to 100% in about 2 minutes.

The unit itself is a bit on the heavy side. No surprise there, this is a battery we are talking about. You can connect it to your phone with an app using bluetooth for more stats about your power bank. You can change the display brightness to either Low or High. You can select how long you want the display to remain on between 30 seconds and up to 30 minutes. It came with a pouch and its base is magnetic. You can procure an optional 100W charging base for about $100CAD if you want the whole kit. It looks great and of very high quality overall.

Not everyone needs that much power in tow and Anker (and many other good brands) offer a variety of charging capacity to fit all needs. When you need to keep your iPad Pro, work laptop (Windows or Macbook Pro) going, this is definitely a great product for you that can reduce battery charge anxiety. I highly recommend.

My phone’s battery health is in the low 80s, and my will drop down to 50% or 40% remaining by the time I get home from work. I use this power bank to charge it while I’m sitting at the counter eating while watching a video, or while I’m playing a game in my recliner and not near an outlet. I’d rather not run a long cord from the wall to my chair so I use this power bank to charge my phone while I game, and I also use it to charge my controller. It’s been so useful.

So far I’ve been using it for all of last week and it lasted the whole 7 days without needing a recharge. When it does need a recharge, it doesn’t take long at all. Normally it’ll take about 2hrs, but in the app you can set it to take longer to charge, to optimize its life, and that takes about 3 or 4hrs from 0 to 100. The screen tells you how much current is being put into the device and how much is being output, and the app tells you the same as well.

I like this a lot more than I thought I would. It really shines when paired with the base station. I feel like the base station should have been included though. I noticed there was a bundle for the 20,000mah version and the base station, but not for the highest capacity 27,000mah. Would have been nice and a bit cheaper. Buying both together is expensive, but for a high quality power bank and the convenience of wireless dock charging and fast input and output, it’s really nice.

My only complaint, if any, is lack of wireless charging built in for phones. This thing is the size of a brick and certainly weighs as much, why couldn’t they put a wireless charging spot below the screen mid way or something? Or on the back? A lot of devices are moving to wireless charging, for Anker’s most premium power bank, I feel like that should have been built into it. It’s not like it’s lacking the room for it. But I can get by with my MagSafe cord, it’s just a minor complaint if I had any at all. Oh, and the screen doesn’t rotate like the older model did.
One thing I noticed is I can’t use the power bank while it is docked. I’m sure there’s a safety reason for that, but I’ve had one other power bank from another company that worked while it was charging. So it could charge a device such as a phone, while also receiving energy to charge the power bank itself. That power bank recently stopped working though. Still works, but the capacity has really gone down for only being 2yrs old. Maybe that’s why we can’t do that with Anker’s power bank? Idk, I just feel like it’s possible to do but maybe it has an effect on the longevity of the power bank. It’s not a big deal, the base has the same 3 usb ports on its side as the power bank has on top, but it was something I tried to do and noticed it wouldn’t work so I wanted to point that out.

Overall though I think this is an excellent power bank and well worth the purchase, but maybe wait till you see a sale as it is certainly pricey

The perfect flight traveling companion, this battery offers excellent charging and discharging speed in a compact form factor that still gets through bag check. The app is also decent, and works without an account and without Internet. You can add charge count estimations to your home screen for all your devices, change the charge indicators to show amperage and voltage, change the screen brightness, and it has a beeper you can trigger with your phone in case you lose it. Very impressed with this thing. It looks and feels premium, and has survived a number of drops.

Naturally, like any battery, it’s decently heavy, and gets mildly warm under load. However, it is decently palmable, and it never gets uncomfortably hot. The glass and metal housing seems to be quite good at both giving you a nice grip, and dissipating heat.
