My main plans for this are to leave in my car and keep my 12VDC fridge cold while the engine is off, and have the C300 DC charge off of the Car DC 12V via the solar connector. Since it is still cold in the northeast USA, I have been using it to keep my devices charged. I have a single 140w USB-C input that instantly tops off the battery if my devices consume enough to drain the battery.. My only gripe is that the 20W section ports shut down and need to be manually toggled to reactivate. I cannot do this if I am away from the unit. There is no setting in the app to do this remotely.
This review is for the DC version only. This thing is about the size of a Stanley Cup (the trendy ones, not the hockey one). It's not lightweight by any means, but reasonable considering it's a 90K mAh power pack. I bought it because my wife and daughter kept stealing my USB packs. I use it to power my cycling gadgets in my garage, but I also do a bit of camping and cycling trips in the summer, so I plan to bring it along next season.
It has plenty of ports for various types of devices. Many of my gadgets are still microUSB, so I had to get a couple of Anker Type C-to-A adapters so they would work with the Type C ports. These adapters work well with this power pack. The power pack's ability to connect to WiFi is also interesting, as I did not expect that functionality. Once configured, whenever the pack is powered on, it will join the WiFi network in range and will allow you to view the charging activity using the Anker app. You can then access the power pack over the internet if you're not home. You can also set a power off timeout in the app, so the power pack will shut off after a period of inactivity. Once it shuts off, it loses connectivity and will no longer be accessible via the network/internet.
The built-in lantern is pretty cool, although I'd wish they had made it so that the light powers on its brightest setting first, then get dimmer with every push of the power button. As of now, the way they have it set up is it will power on its dimmest mode first, then get brighter as you click the button. It has 3 brightness levels.
The built-in LCD is very nice, as it tells you exactly how much charge the pack still has it in. It also displays a bunch of other info, including how much power is being drawn at any time, which ports are being used, WiFi/BT connectivity, etc. Be aware that the displayed units have a 1W resolution, so if your device is drawing less than 1W you will not see any activity, other than the port being powered on. This is also true of the app.
My house is full of UPS devices powering most of my electronics. Having this in the garage is a great portable solution for the rest of my USB devices. I paid $150 for mine during a holiday sale at the end of the year.
This Power Station is a good charging solution for my motorhome while boondocking. I plan to power my Starlink Mini with it as well in the evening to watch movies and work on the computer. ( we will see how that works) It charges quickly and has lots of power. Good product.
I love this power bank. It has been very useful to me and my family. I took it with me on my road trip and it was able to keep my phone, my wife's phone, and my kid's Nintendo switch charged for the long road trip.
The unit gets too hot 🔥 ( over 104f ) when trying to charge in an 65f degree room - anything over 60 watts input makes it jump to max temp( 104f) rather quickly, I have a 20, 60, 100&140 watt chargers however the unit will stop charging on the 100&140watt chargers because the port shuts off until unit cools down when it reaches max temp, Anker could have included a internal fan that kicks on above 90f that would solve this issue, I have places a computer fan against my case to help, but it is still not as good as if it were built in, otherwise everything else works as it should, well that's a big issue and hopefully they will fix it with future units
