Several weeks ago, we published the teardown of Anker 140W PD3.1 power bank,
which has more than 100k views.
We do appreciate that, and you can also click the upper right corner to check that video.
And today, we got another Anker power bank of the GaNPrime series.
It’s a 10000 mAh power bank and also a 65W AC charger.
What we got is the chinese version. But it also continues the GaNPrime series design.
All specs info are printed on the side.
Open the box.
It contains the product itself, a charging cable, and some documents.
This is a dual USB-C cable.
We got the white version. You can also choose a black one.
And “GaNPrime” is printed on the top of the silver panel.
A power button, two USB-C ports, and a USB-A port are on the side.
All three USB-C ports adopt Anker blue.
LED indicator on power button shows remaining battery.
Let’s take a closer look at the specs info.
Model is A1651.
It has two pieces of 5000 mAh battery cells.
So the total capacity is 10000 mAh.
The input prongs can be folded.
The size of this power bank is 112 x 64 x 32mm (4.41 x 2.52 x 1.26 inches).
And the weight is about 317g (0.7 lb).
In the portable charger mode,
the ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM002C shows
the USB-C1 supports FCP, AFC, QC3.0, PD3.0, PPS, Apple2.4A protocols.
It also has four fixed PDOs of 5V3A, 9V3A, 15V2A, 20V1.5A, and a set of PPS.
And the supported protocols and PDOs of USB-C2 are the same as the USB-C1.
So you don’t have to distinguish them.
Both can support up to 30W.
And then, the USB-A supports FCP, AFC, and QC3.0 protocols.
Plug it into the AC outlet, in the wall charger mode.
The ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM002C shows the USB-C1 supports FCP, SCP, AFC, QC3.0, PD3.0, PPS, and Apple2.4A protocols.
And the PDO info are slightly different.
5V3A, 9V3A, 15V3A, 20V3.25A, and a set of PPS.
And the USB-C2 supports PD3.0, QC5, and PPS protocols.
The PDO info is the same as USB-C1. Both can support up to 65W.
The USB-A supports FCP, SCP, AFC, and QC3.0 protocols.
After testing its performance in different modes, let’s go ahead and take it apart.
Use the spudger to remove the case.
It can be divided into switching power supply and battery cells.
The graphite thermal sheet and heat-resistant tape are pasted inside the case.
Remove the screws. And take out the entire module.
The other side is also pasted with graphite thermal sheet and heat-resistant tape.
This small PCB integrates a power button and LED indicators and is connected to the main PCB.
The protection board is connected to the motherboard by red and black wires.
And the battery cells are connected to the protection board by solder joints.
Remove the battery.
It’s covered with double-sided tape and a plastic frame.
Separate the protection board.
Here is the black foam.
The protection and balancing chip are on this small PCB.
Separate those two battery cells.
Each one is 5000 mAh.
And charging limit voltage is 4.35V.
Next, let’s introduce the switching power supply part.
The output filtering circuit and USB ports are at the bottom.
Two thermistors can detect the temperature.
Here are the transformers and capacitors.
And this vertical PCB is soldered with input filtering circuit.
ChargerLAB found it has two-way QR flyback circuit,
which can be connected in series for higher power.
The buck-boost controller can control the output voltage according to the load.
The input fuse is insulated with heat shrinkable tube.
The common mode choke is covered with silicone adhesives.
The safety X2 capacitor is from DGCX. 0.15μF.
And then, two bridge rectifiers on the front and back are used for rectification.
Four electrolytic capacitors for input filtering are from Yongming.
Three of them are 27μF 400V.
The other one is 33μF 400V.
The differential mode choke is I-shaped and is insulated by heat shrinkable tube.
Those two master controllers are from PI.
INN3378C is on the left, while INN3365C is on the right.
They can work with two transformers to form two independent switching power supplies.
The SMD Y capacitor is from TRX.
The other SMD Y capacitor is the same.
The larger transformer works with INN3378C.
And the smaller transformer works with INN3365C.
Those two synchronous rectifiers are from AOS and are controlled by PI master controller.
They’re used for synchronous output rectification.
The solid capacitor for output filtering is from Yongming and works with INN3378C.
680μF 25V.
Another solid capacitor works with INN3365C.
470μF 25V.
Those MOSFETs for output switching are from Excelliance and adopt EDFN3 x 3 package.
30V, 9mΩ.
Those six MOSFETs are used for power switching.
The dual-channel protocol chip is from Injoinic and can control all three USB ports.
This power bank SOC chip is developed by Injoinic.
It integrates synchronous buck-boost controller and protocol identification,
which can improve space utilization.
The synchronous buck-boost MOSFET is from Vanguard and adopts PDFN5 x 6 package.
Withstand voltage is 30V.
Here is the buck-boost inductor.
And another Vanguard MOSFET is under it.
Those MLCC capacitors are used for output filtering.
This solid capacitor for output filtering is 100μF 25V.
This voltage regulator chip is used to power the buck-boost controller and the protocol chip.
Two VBUS MOSFETs are also from Excelliance.
Next, there’re five LED indicators and a button on this PCB, used to show the remaining battery.
Two USB-C sockets are soldered on this small PCB.
The USB-A socket is soldered on a separate PCB.
Well, that’s all components of this Anker 65W 2-in-1 hybrid charger.
It can be used as a 65W wall charger or a 30W portable charger.
So, it can fast charge itself and your devices, like phones, tablets, and laptops.
The 10000mAh battery can be used as your backup power supply and is very convenient to carry out.
OK, that’s all for today’s video.
