Anker Battery Pack Comparison w Weights

[npellegrene]

In short, Zolo 10k and 20k kinda win price/weight features

Did something for myself and thought id share real quick if it helps anyone else. After one of my older power banks swelling up, it was time to look for new ones. I decided Amazon owed me, so I ordered a bunch to compare and return.

Thanks for posting this. Helps me as I need to buy a power bank.

I have the Anker slim and it works great

Great timing and nice summary. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

Had an Anker that crapped out in less than 2 years and never was taken outdoors. Only used in the house a few times

Won’t buy another

Awesome breakdown. Thanks!

This one has caught my eye and it says it's 11.8 oz for 26,800 mAh. And close to $20. I feel actual weight will be heavier but haven't found an actual measurement by a customer.

I love my nitecore. 5.3oz for 10,000. They make a 20,000 as well but I prefer the redundancy of (2) 10,000

I have a 10k mah Ravpower and a 20k mah Anker. I prefer to use the Rav because it's much lighter and easier to lug around the mountains. The Anker stays in base camp as a backup, feels heavy like packing a small brick.

Great info, thanks

My Anker slim did 7 days charging my iPhone, Zoleo and earbuds and still had 70%.

Just bought 2 of these and they seem pretty good. Admittedly, I don't have or haven't used ankers so not sure how this compares. But 11 oz isn't bad for 35k mAh.

I bought this one in 2020 and it is still holding a charge. I have only taken it on 3 hunts and weather was fairly mild however for what I needed it to do it has performed. I will say that I question the reliability each time I use it but it keeps surprising me. On my scale it comes in at 11.2 oz. Not sure if I bought another one if I would have the same performance as this one though.

You may want to get the Anker Prime because of the higher output. So you can charge your new Iphone in 45 min and also it can run starlink. Also they can accept high output from a solar panel. If you get the right 30 watt solar panel it will put out 25 watts in the full sun and the older anker chargers cannot take that much wattage so it goes to waste. You can re-charge the battery in a just a couple hours in the afternoon. This new high wattage stuff is really cool and way more efficient. Worth the extra weight.

What 30 watt solar panel would you recomend ? Have you had the prime in freezing conditions ?? Just ordered a nitecore summit to play with but time will tell

Thanks
