I want to go a little bit extreme, alright?
Hey, what’s up? Sami here.
This is the Anzene Energy Block, it is a super portable power station that is designed not only
to solve your “energy anxiety”, but also take some serious pain that you might
run into in a complicated wild environment.
I’ve been using…well, torturing it for several days and here is my honest review.
First things first, the unit I got to test was a prototype and the final version you
get might be different.
Anzene told me that they will add a handle on the top of the block, which is even better
to carry around.
But for all the colors I’ve shown in the video, it will actually only be available
in black in the final version.
I feel a bit sad because I really love that gold color, it makes me look… rich.
All jokes aside, let’s get a closer look of the Anzene Energy Block.
On the front, we have a black stripe that houses the power button, a 19V 3A charging port,
a 5V 3A type-c, and a 5V 3A type A port.
Whilst at the bottom we have some charging contacts and slots to connect with another
base – the Energy Key, which offers more ports.
The two type-c ports support up to a staggering 100w output, while another two type A support
up to 18w.
On the other side of the Energy Key lies two charging ports, one for solar
and one for DC charging.
You may wonder, does this energy block offer an AC output?
After all, an AC outlet on-the-go can be very useful.
No worries, Anzene has you covered as well.
They offer another modular base, which provides a three-prong AC outlet.
This outlet varies based on where you are located, that’s great.
Of course, it has other normal ports as well.
Unlike other power stations that are monotonous in design, this Anzene Energy Block is wrapped
with a complete piece of thick metal and feels rugged and minimalistic.
The Anzene’s form factor and weight are on par with being the best part of it.
That’s because it has a height of 9.5 inches and a width of 3 inches.
The weight of the power station is 4.4 pounds.
In comparison to other portable power stations, this is super easy to take wherever you go.
This is the packaging for the Anzene Energy Block.
It looks very clean like a gift box.
They print some key information on it.
And these are what you can get from the box.
In addition to the Energy Block and base, it comes with a wall charger.
On the charging and powering side, this power station does a great job.
The AC outlet offers a 300W power output.
For me, it is perfect for my e-bike to get a few extra miles
when I go picnicking with my family.
If you have an appliance that can be powered within the 300W range, this power station
is perfect for camping or hiking as well.
This means that you can power mini-fridges, electric mosquito lanterns, or drones.
If you’re looking to charge smartphones and tablets with it, this 300Wh capacity power
cube won’t disappoint you either.
You won’t be having any problems charging them to full power multiple times.
Like the Doogee V20 phone, which I just reviewed has a jaw-dropping 6,000 mAh battery,
I can expect 13 full charges.
If for laptops, then you will get fewer full charges as they have larger batteries.
The best part is that the Anzene Energy Block has a USB-C Power Delivery port,
so it’s able to charge laptops directly,
without the need to have to connect your charger via the AC outlets.
Overall, this Anzene Energy Block has a good amount of power that can last days or weeks,
depending on how you’re using it.
That’s exactly how long a power station should last.
Recharging this power station is as awesome as its output.
That’s because the DC input port can be used to recharge the unit.
The best part is the Anzene offers a 21V-5A solar input, that means I can totally rely
on a natural source and produce zero pollution.
And to be honest I haven’t seen this form factor portable power station have this feature.
I truly like it.
Alright, if you think all of the above I mentioned hasn’t wowed you, after all, you’ve seen
those features on this or that power station.
The next part I’m sure will surprise you, that is, I don’t think there are many other
power stations or power banks that can take a durability test.
Wow, still works
I guess would be no problem at all.
OK, it's charging now!
Alright, now, let's check.
Still works, you see, it works!
OK, we see some dents here because I smashed really hard.
Wohaa, it works!
Still works!
Great! It survived again
Go, go go!
Alright, the camera can't focus?
Press
Woohoo, works! You see.
After so many tortures, we got so many scratches.
But it's all OK, see, it's all OK!
It's OK, still works.
And that's, that's indestructible, man.
So far, so good.
Alright, that’s the tests.
To be honest I’ve no idea if it could really survive from those extreme durability tests,
but gladly it did!
Which leads to my final conclusion.
For me, there is a lot going for the Anzene Energy Block.
It is super portable and honestly I think that if you want to have the ability to take
a portable power source with you every day, this one is it,
as long as it fits your powering needs.
It’s versatile, it has many ways to use it.
You can even use solar panels to recharge it, a feature that only exists
on high-end power stations.
And most importantly, it’s indestructible and should power you through all rigorous environments
wherever you go and gives you an extra layer of protection.
