3 stars its not a hiking device 5 star, the device works amazing.
This is definitely not an item I’d hike with. For the price paid and doesn’t come with a strap, is disappointing. Outside of those two issues I bought this mainly for family car camping, to use this for movie nights for the kids. Powering a projector, possibly iPad or laptop depending on what I bring.Charging speed seems decent. This is a very easy to use power station. It’s extremely portable but not in a backpacking or hiking term.I’m going on a solo paddle camp in the next week so I will test the power capacity and functionality when I’m out in the woods and update this soon.Update: ive gone on a few kayak/sup camping trips, this held up well. this is a good power station especially for the size. its not going to power kitchen appliances, however it will get your basic necessities. I do take this station everywhere with me. I keep It in my car at all time unless I need to quickly charge it.Ive been using Anker products for over 10 years now. I think since they started in 2012 or so with their battery banks. I love their products but will always remain true when it comes to my personal experiences with their products.I did give this a 3 star rank because I was disappointed with the whole “hiking” power station advertisement however, hiking and backpacking isn’t really the same lol. I will say this is NOT a device I would hike with, but this is a device id recommend everything to keep in their car, or any outdoor activity.So this is a 5 star product, when it comes to delivery.

So much better than expected!
I bought this very affordable solar battery bank and panel combo on sale for a very good price. It replaced a bluetti unit I’ve had for a couple of years and honestly I’m happier with this one. Much happier in fact. There’s a few reasons for this. But let me start with my testing and first outing with it.I took this camping just this past weekend for the first time. I use a CPAP and also obviously have phones and other electronics I like to keep charged. I also have an air mattress with built in inflator that uses AC power.Carrying this thing was a lot easier than my Bluetti was. Despite not having a swing-out handle like the Bluetti, the Anker unit was lighter in weight even though it is roughly the same power capacity and the molded in grip was perfect to carry this unit. It has also mounting points for a strap (not included) but I did not find the strap necessary in my case.Controlling the unit I found to be much easier that any power bank I’ve used so far. And this is where Anker shines. The polished esthetic they adhere to also carry over to their app, which is just so much better that any of the other apps I’ve used for other power banks. It connects either via wifi or Bluetooth. It might be controllable over the internet from a remote location but I did not test this. It’s just inferred because the same app can do that for Anker’s home battery banks. I did use Bluetooth though, and it worked very well. The neat thing is the unit wakes on bluetooth connection from the app and it happens quickly. No long delay to connect or having to wake up the unit manually first. I literally was able to check the status of the bank and the solar charging while passing by the campsite roughly 100 feet away from it and I was surprised when it actually connected! I didn’t expect it to work that far away but I just tried on a whim and was able to see that in full sun around 11:30 the unit was charging at 40 watts from the included 60 watt panel and this is another thing that really shines about this combo. I did not expect the panel to be great, but it was fantastic. It is so much lighter and actually easily portable compared to the very large and heavy 100 watt panel I had with my Bluetti. It also starts picking up a measurable charge even before the sun rises completely. I haven’t tested it on a cloudy day but I expect it to perform well since it did so well in the early morning hours. Sure, it has less wattage but it performed just as well as I needed it to. I had drained the battery to 63% overnight and by noon it was fully charged already. I know I could have gotten even faster charging if I had pointed the panel toward the sun but I just kind of flatly laid it across a mobile cart hoping for the best. But again, it is so light and folds compact enough to fit in a backpack while still performing at this level and this is just awesome. I am very happy with it.Back to the app and functionality of the unit, it has a very useful and easy to use light bar on the front and that can be controlled via the app, as well as a button press on the front. What I liked about this light is it was a bright but softly diffused light, making it great to light the inside of a tent without glaring into my eyes. Also being able to be turned on and off with the app made it so I didn’t even have to get up to control it. The app also shows you the temperature of the battery at all times which is constantly monitored to keep from overheating. You have to love the thought that Anker puts into their products and all the safety features. They are one of the top battery and charging brands for a good reason.Anyway, now that I’ve tried this tiny unit, I am very likely to next buy the large unit on wheels for use as home backup and longer campout with higher power requirements. I was that satisfied with it that I’ve decided I’m going to stay with this brand for the time being anyway.Anyway, I could write a lot more but I think this should give most people what they need to know. I was overall very satisfied and would buy again! Highly recommended!

I have tried many powerbanks in the years even the best make for some and this is the best i have tried ever… Anker is fast charging on Ac ,charges very well unlike others that can sit all day when clouded but uv light is high reading only 1% .This Anker will charge in the same conditions giving 10 % ..in high sun it performs very well .I highly recommend this and the service is excellent..

Superhandig. Snel opgeladen, meerdere apparaten tegelijk geladen op de camping zonder afhankelijkheid van een stroomaansluiting. Ik laadde het op bij de stroompaal voor telefoons tijdens het douchen. Terug bij de tent kon ik ipad, telefoon en ev fohn, luchtbedpomp etc. op. Koelbox gebruikte ik op de ouderwetse manier met ijs. Daarvoor was teweinig capaciteit.
