are you looking for a high capacity portable power bank that also has outstanding output then you're
in the right place hello I am Wanderer001 and this is my review of the Anker 737 power bank as you
can see right here got a LCD display which we'll talk about in a moment this power bank has a 24
000 milliamp capacity in comparison the power bank that I was using before this was this rap
power power bank which only had 20 100 milliamps of power but the output on this was much less
I do have a affinity for and problem with power Banks so using the previous RAV power
you're going to notice one big difference and that is the size even though this only has 4
000 more milliamp than this one the form factor is vastly different and that's partially due to the
high speed output of this and Anchor's new series 7 devices have what they're labeling as and Prime
which is a host of other features which I'll talk about momentarily but that is a size comparison
for my previous one but if we want to know the actual dimensions of this we are looking at 6.13
inches long with a width of 2.15 and a depth of 1.95 so this is a beefy device and that includes
its weight it is 22 ounces or 630 grams in weight so this is not going to be something that you're
going to be able to stick in your back pocket and carry around with you easily for charging devices
but this device is primarily made for outputting high wattage what do I mean by that well it can
output up to 140 Watts via this USB C Port right here you have two usb cs one is an in-out one is
an out and then you have a USB a style Port some different charging configuration because you do
not get 140 watts per Port that is split amongst all the ports so if you have one device you can
maximum output 140 Watts but if you start plugging in other devices that will actually lower the
amount that is going to a plugged in device but if we come around to the front this is one of the in
CH and that is this which is triggered by simply tapping the button on the side so for starters
we have a percentage ring tapping it again and here we can see some information we see battery
temperature we see battery percentage we see total input wattage total output wattage battery cycles
and then screen usage not as useful as the other information but it lets you know hey I turned this
on I turn this off I turn this on I turn this off so that's how many times the screen itself
has come on so if I come back here now it's 118. tapping again we have auto screen on and off which
is very helpful because you don't want to have the screen on eating your battery so I have that on
and then we come back there if we press and hold meaning we long press and hold there's a couple
little cute things that it can do so if I continue to do this there's some blinking it's it's a neat
feature but one of the other things I like about this is there's actually a gyroscope in here so
notice that display is going to change in order for another screen to show up we actually start
having to plug devices into our battery back here so I'm just going to put in a low power USB device
and right here we can see it has the output from the USB a it's letting us know right there and
outputting and it's doing under one watt there but it also shows us an estimated run time for
the device that we have plugged into this which is really great and then as we start plugging
in other things you will see these light up as well as letting you know hey this is how much
they're drawing now if in the case like I have a low powered device what we can actually do is if
we double tap our button over here you're going to see this little Green Dot what that's going to
do is that's trickle mode so that's not going to Output as much because this battery is primarily
for larger devices that require more output so it's good for your cell phones in that you can
get a lot of charges out of it but it's really meant for something like a laptop or a bigger
device sadly I don't have any devices that can take advantage of the full output of this so I'm
kind of future proofing myself in some cases the display itself is bright enough that you will see
it outside in most conditions but generally you're going to be using this indoors you can cup it like
that if you need to see the screen better but in most inside cases you'll see perfectly fine
Outdoors as well I did do a few tests charging this and using the included cable which is the
other thing that we need to talk about they include a USBC to USBC cable but if we look
right here that is a maximum of 140 watt cable that is included with the power bank so hold on
to this because you're going to use that to charge this and then they also do give you kind of like a
velvety carrying case for it not that important but they give it to you which is a nice touch but
this cable using this cable and the anchor charging station here I was able to charge
the 737 power bank here in under one hour and what you noticed here which was hey this will
tell you how long you can charge something for while we're charging this it actually
tells you how long it will take to charge as we can see from this displaying maximum input
from the PC USBC option on the anchor charging station so we're getting almost 90 watts in
so I'm going to change that unplug and then plug it into the other one which is not supposed to
have 90 Watts so it'll take a second for it to realize how much the input is that one is also
getting about 90 Watts so this particular device isn't going to pull more than that but it's going
to show me right down here estimated time for charging and then a charging percent right there
which is really nice if you ask me so you'll know exactly how long it takes to get this charged up
not only can you fast charge the device you also can pass through charge meaning I can charge the
power bank and charge something off of this at the same time which if you don't realize how
good that is you really should it is an awesome feature that not all portable power banks have
but because this is fast charging that means it is going to generate quite a bit of heat while it's
doing that in my testing I found that towards the end when it was finishing up its charging
it was at about 107 degrees it's not going to hurt anything because that was mostly on top there are
no little feeds on the bottom of this to keep it off of a surface but the temperature was really
up here there wasn't any heat dissipation from the sides realistically if we're talking about
the rest of this aside from the gray accent piece that you have on the front the rest of it is just
matte plastic you do have a little ribbing on the side to give you something to kind of grab onto I
kind of wish that that had a light around it but that's just me but it's just a shiny accent piece
and then your business end up here it's it's not a lot to look at but that screen on the front that
screen on the front is something that's really cool and I wish other manufacturers would do but
this is quite an impressive power bank and again anchor they've been around forever there are a
lot of extra technical things with this which anchor has kind of bundled into their Gan Prime
it's letting you know that this device is more than just a battery that's outputting it's got
a lot of built-in protections to prevent damage to your devices damage to the power bank itself and
it's because of all of those extra features that the price tag on this the price tag is very Hefty
for a portable power bank for half the price of this you can get two of these but that other power
bank does not have the output that this one has or the rapid charging that this one has granted it's
a beast to take with you but if you're traveling and you have it in a book bag it's not that big
a deal or if you're traveling and need to power your laptop this one will definitely be able to
do it that other one will not be able to because of that if you're in the market for a versatile
portable power bank I highly recommend checking out the Anker 737 power bank with that being said
