        ZMI max output is 100 watts. This is reportedly 140W.

          +1

          If you need more than 100W out from a single port sure, get the 737, otherwise the ZMI total wattage is 210W, so I presume if you do somehow draw 100W from a single port, the other two ports can still access 110W more.

            @Ultraman: Not that it matters real world, but out of interest, my ZMI won't sustain 200W output for the full capacity. (2x 20V 5A from USB-C 1 and the USB-A port with the ZMI cable).

            Not sure if it is my testing setup causing an issue (triggering the USB-A port PD 20V 5A in testing is occasionally finicky) or if it shuts down on purpose to protect the cells.

            It uses Samsung INR21700-50E cells, which are rated at 9.8A continuous. So slightly below what is needed to sustain 210W output for the entire capacity.

            At some point I will do some more testing and see what the max is i can get it to sustain…

                @Khartoum: Tough call. But for me, the ZMI No.20.

                Mostly because I use pass through charging a reasonable amount. And the ZMI slots into my laptop bag more easily.

                But if I needed 140W, or didn't use pass through charging, then the Anker 737 would win.

        incorrect. I have both the alogic ark 27k and the alogic ruck 20k power banks. The 27k ark does do power passthrough, whilst the 20k ruck does not. Its a shame the alogic AU website does not have any stock, as you can get 20% off with free shipping.

    An excellent power bank that is quite efficient. Having a screen that gives wattages, plus other info like total Wh in and out is very useful IMO.

    The 5.5 x 5 x 15.7cm form factor doesn't always suit some bags but I like that it sits well in a cup holder!

    • Horacio on 15/05/2024 - 13:59

      Aha! I wish I'd got this one instead of the 65W INIU number, because even though my lenovo legion laptop pull less than 40w while running, it completely refuses to accept a charge from the INIU. I don't know how negotiation works but could it be that during that negotiation process it demands 100W and the INUI replies that it cannot deliver? My inline usb volt/ammeter dongle shows it at 20v, but zero current flows. The other thing about the INIU is that the high power port output is also its one and only input port. So my laptop not only refuses to take a charge, half the time it actually charges the bloody power bank. I tried changing the only setting in BIOS and it made no difference.

      • Prong on 15/05/2024 - 20:57

        Which specific Legion model do you have? And you are using the INIU B62?

        As it happens I also do laptop testing for TechRadar, and I been doing some USB-C compatibility testing with power banks and USB-C chargers to gauge what sort of issues crop up.

        The USB-C PD negotiation is tricky because both the power bank and the laptop can be an input or output but they need to figure out the roles. Exactly what is going on with your setup is hard to know. If you are seeing 20V (from the power bank) then the power bank is being asked to supply 20V by the laptop, but then the laptop is not actually starting the charge so draws no current. Why that is exactly is hard to know, but yes it could be that the laptop won't charge unless it has a 100W charger. If two USB-C devices both say they can be the charger or the chargee and can't decide, they will choose randomly. Which in your case will be when the laptop charges the power bank.

        Gaming laptop manufacturers (in my experience) have been quite conservative with USB-C charging, as they don't see it as a key feature for typical use. That is starting to change though.

        A few things to try. If you have not already, try charging with the laptop turned off. If it does charge, give it a minute and then power the laptop on and see if it keeps charging. Sometimes using a different cable helps too.

        The Anker 737 specifically has an OUT only port just to have an option to avoid these issues. I am not aware of a way to do that externally, and there's no option for it on the B62 I am aware of. It's an interesting issue though, so I will think on it.

        • Horacio on 15/05/2024 - 23:50

          Thanks for your reply. I had to wait for the laptop to discharge a fair whack, down to about 15% so just replying now. It is a Legion 5 Gen 7 (intel). The powerbank says it is "B1-B62" bought about a fortnight or so ago. I just tried charging with the laptop off, and it didn't work from either of the usb-c ports. To double check I tried a Ugreen 100w PD charger with the same cable, and it did charge the laptop at 80W while it was off, which went up to 95W once the operating system was running again.

          So it probably is that the laptop is very picky about the minimum charging rate - which is daft really. I wonder if it is something they can fix with a bios update eventually. The only bios settings available currently relate to whether it will charge other devices while it's off, etc.

          • Horacio on 16/05/2024 - 00:13

            @Horacio: What we need is an inline dongle that spoofs the negotiation process.. the laptop wants to be told it can have 100w delivery capacity, even though it doesn't actually pull that much in the end.

          • Kobeee on 16/05/2024 - 11:25

            @Horacio: @Horacio oh yeah I've a legion too their usb c charging is super finicky….. I wish I didn't get it for this reason coupled with the fact that the batter life is atrocious on it.

      Something to watch out for: I have the 65W INIU and as with this one, the high power port output is also its one and only input port. So my laptop not only refuses to take a charge, half the time it actually charges the bloody power bank. I tried changing the only setting in BIOS and it made no difference. There ought to be a setting or some way to force it to discharge only mode but if there is I couldn't find it.. YMMV.

    The actual useable output on this is actually 72Wh, not 86.4 as stated on the product. Manufacturers should be made to provide this number so items can be more fairly compared.

    • Prong on 15/05/2024 - 13:07

      Anker give a usable capacity rating on the power bank itself, but are terrible at actually making the specs easily available online!

      At 5V they rate it at 13,500 mAh. So 67.5Wh.

      Here's a pic of the specs on the underside of my Anker 737, from a review I did.

      For normal use you should get 75Wh+. Which is pretty good as far as power bank efficiency goes.

      • Lps on 15/05/2024 - 13:30

        You may have got lucky. I tested 2 units new from different origin and wasn't able to get more than 72wh (about 83% eff) in the lab. Tested at 50 and 140w. I verified this on other test gear with almost identical results. I'll be getting hold of 2 more units soon so will be interesting to see the results from those.

        In any event, watt hours at the socket should be the one stated on the pack because that the one available to the customer. It's like buying a chocolate bar then having to calculate how much of it you can eat.

        • Prong on 15/05/2024 - 14:35
          +1

          What was your specific test setup? I will (try to) replicate it to avoid any differences in testing.

          For example, the USB-A port uses a seperate voltage conversion circuit which is less efficient than the circuit for the USB-C ports. USB-A also tends to give slightly higher resistance.

          Most of my published results are from the primary USB-C port of any power bank tested. But I have been doing some extended testing on the USB-A ports (or USB-C ports if it uses a seperate voltage conversion circuit) to get a better idea of efficiency.

          For the Anker 737 USB-A at 5V, 2A, it gives 70.5Wh which is around 81.5% of the rated capacity. Noticeably less than the 74.2Wh (86%) I get at 5V 2A from the USB-C 1 port! Part of the efficiency issue is the 737 runs 21.6V DC internally, so stepping down to 5V will always be the least efficient.

          I just updated my review to include a bit more info on this, but will put more in once my extended testing is done.

          And yeah - proper real world Wh ratings from the manufacturer would be ideal. Generally all the better brands give a real world rating, but it is a worst case and typically far under what you actually get in typical use.
          Of course then you also need to know the efficiency of the device you are charging to actually figure out how much of the power bank capacity will actually add to your devices battery capacity!

          • ocular on 15/05/2024 - 15:57

            @Prong: Again, amazing info you have provided, So do the OEMs provide info on which port "rated capacity" is specific to? I just assumed there was only one DC DC circuit. I have only ever used the USB-A port to USB-C for capacity testing at a very low load 2.5W and have been a bit surprised have not quite got to specs for ZMI and Ugreen but go there with INUI (all 3 power banks are 25000mAh ) Probably need to back and try USB-C ports

            • Prong on 15/05/2024 - 21:06

              @ocular: Not that I have seen. It is presumably at the worst efficiency output, or potentially all outputs combined. There's no specific standard so every power bank rates it differently, or doesn't actually say how they rate it.

              The USB-C ports are absolutely the best bet though. Lower resistance and in all my testing, always more efficient.

              I currently have the ZMI No.20 and the Anker 737 doing 5V, 2.5W testing. I only started today, so they have a while yet.

              • ocular on 18/05/2024 - 22:30

      • PeppaPigDidNthngWrng on 15/05/2024 - 15:38

        4,000mah at 21.6v is… odd.

        Six 4,000mah cells is 3.6v each, not 3.7v. odd. Suggests different chemistry. I would say SAAFT or Lithium Thionyl Chloride Battery, but those aren't rechargeable, so I don't know.

        • Prong on 15/05/2024 - 21:52
          +2

          The nominal voltage for the cells is set by the manufacturer, rather than being an exact reflection of the cell chemistry. Most 3.7V cells are actually 3.6V to 3.7V, but 3.7V sounds better.

          The nominal voltage is typically the voltage at which the cell is at 50% capacity, based on a specific maximum charge voltage and discharge cut off voltage, at a specific load.

          So the same cell can have different nominal voltage depending on the charge / discharge regime and load. Generally for these sorts of cells it is 3.6V to 3/7V.

          The Anker 737 uses Lishen LR2170LA 21700 cells. Nominal voltage is 3.65V but that is at a 0.2C discharge. The 3.6V per cell for the Anker 737 may not be a direct match for the actual cell specifications. Or the 737 may not charge to the full 4.2V to improve cycle life. Capacity won't suffer, since the cells are high output and rated for 100% capacity at 10A. Whereas at 140W the cells are seeing about 7.5A, so should produce over 100% capacity. Or bang on 100% capacity with a slight under charge. From my testing, the Anker certainly doesn't seem to do a 'absorption' charge, so might just charge at the maximum rate (~6A) up to 4.2V then stop, which will leave the cell slightly under charged (which is good for longevity).

          I don't see it listed on the specs, but these are likely the standard NCM or NCA cell chemistry common in high power 21700s and 18650s.

                  @Prong: Proudest moment was managing an extra 15Kg in a combination of hard drives in 4 jeans pockets and various electronics including a Switch in 7 inner and outer pockets of a huge thick coat. It was not pleasant though!

                  But however you carry it, this powerbank (and my Ugreen) is a bit of a beast.

                    @gadgetguy: Impressive! But yeah even the lightest large capacity power banks are quite heavy in a pocket or bag.

                @Huntakillaz: Haha, I've got an older version of this jacket, and managed to get it tipping the scales at close to 10kg during a trip to the US. Wallet, keys, 2x iPads, Kindle, battery bank, camera lens x2, phone, travel docs, hard drive, laptop charger (laptop went in carry on with the camera body). It's not the most stylish thing ever, but it is remarkably comfy and holds heaps of stuff while somehow not looking like it is.

                  @ebosh: Mine was this 9-pocket monster.

                  I was transporting an 8-bay NAS, so 4 drives in my jeans pockets, 4 in my carry on, NAS sent by post.

                  Getting back on topic, honestly the weight of these power banks would put me off taking them. Discounting the carry-on issue, just having them in a backpack for trips out would be very noticeable. I have the Ugreen and don't typically use it for this reason. I usually take a 10,000mah INIU B6 (also in Prong's review) which is a third of the weight.

      Weight and size is fairly similar to carrying a 600ml water bottle, if you put one in a jacket pocket then you’ll surely notice it, but in a backpack with few other stuff like a laptop you probably won’t.

      Thats $10 more. You can get two of these for that price difference.

      • Bii on 15/05/2024 - 15:20

        Extra $10 off with code and from same Ankor. Guess they just price match.

        • Tyleroo on 15/05/2024 - 15:21

          But who would get it from MyDeal over official Anker store that delivers in 1-3 business days.

            @Tyleroo: Just an alternative. Not same from Anker tho. But if you have rewards points to use or have xx points bonus, it might worth it, assuming they are the same model.

            @Tyleroo: People who has CBA offer, spend $75 get $15.

            It's sold by Wireless 1, just as reputable as Mobileciti.

            • sridhar on 18/05/2024 - 08:04

              @browser: I looked in CBA Yello portion of the CommBank app and don’t see it. Can you please point me where I can get this $15 off on $75 spend?

    I bought this same one for $111 vie Ebay+ a few weeks ago! So well built, I would pay $150 for it.

    I took this on a 3 week international trip, and it was incredible! We ended up using the battery pack to charge all our devices instead of plugging them into wall chargers, because many places we stayed didn't have conveniently located power outlets. Even with a 65W charger, it charges completely from dead in just 1.5 hours. So I made it a habit to plug it in first thing in the morning, and by the time we were ready to leave, it was fully charged and lasted all day with plenty of power to spare. We went through 15 cycles in just three weeks. Never experienced battery anxiety; the capacity and charging speed meant it was like having a wall charger with us everywhere we went. IMO, the $145 I paid was well worth it for that trip alone.
