In the video, I say you need a charger and cable to charge it but in reality, you actually only need a USB mains adapter or socket because you can plug in the built-in USB-C cable to charge it.
Have you checked the new Anker a1637. Its a 3 in 1 powerbank/ with power plug and wire. It looks like that but it has power ac and no need to bring external brick. 😅.
Thats does look really good, I like how it can be plugged straight in to the mains. Unfortunately that isn't available in the UK so far as I can tell, I guess due to the different mains pin layout we have.
Nice review but if you hadn’t of thrown the instruction booklet away there is also a trickle charge mode that if you press the power button twice a green dot appears on the display. Thus is important as if you have a pair of ear phones the power draw is so low it doesn’t trigger the charger. The trickle charge mode manually engages the charger. Also worth noting you can charge directly from the inbuilt usb c. I enjoyed the review thxs.
Thank you. I was going to make a video about the trickle charging feature but I haven't found anything that actually requires it. My bluetooth headphones and even my smallest Bluetooth mics seems to charge fine without it switched on. Do you have any devices that actually require it?
Hi Steven, is the cable not in the way and wobbling around when not needed? I find it a great idea, I have a Ugreen powerbank with a very short cable but you can hide it inside the body of the powerbank. (there the short cable is annoying) I prefer the 533 10,000 powerbank, I just wanna know your opinion.
Hey, no it tucks in quite neatly and if you were worried about it getting in the way or snagged you can just wrap an elastic band or hairband around it. But to be honest it has not really bothered me at all, it's quite taught so it doesn't really move about much. I do have bigger power banks but I like this one because you can just have it in your back pocket or throw it in a bag and it's good to go. The battery life isn't anywhere near the bigger options. I do like the Ugreen products, that sounds quite neat.
Hi, thanks appreciate it 🙏 The one in the video is this one 👉 s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCkNi5f but you can also use something like the SmallRig Universal SSD Holder 👉 amzn.to/46tzmVn
No problem. In terms of power delivery, it's the same which is great but obviously, it won't last as long as the 28600+. It's just a bit of a smaller form factor to work with when you don't need quite so much power. For me, it's a bit more convenient for run and gun work but for long shoots on a tripod when I am not using SSD I will still be using the bigger one.
See what you mean about the GH6 battery Steve, its so bad! I borrowed the camera from work and used 2 batteries. My GH5s and GH5 blow it out of the water. How long does the Anker battery power a GH5 or GH5s?
Yeah it's not great, especially in comparison to those two cameras. I have a video coming soon about it but I am getting over 4 hours with it plugged in which is great because it's pretty small.
That is great Steve. The GH7 has to have a much better battery life than the GH6. You would have thought Lumix would have had a better understanding of battery with it being a video centric camera! @@stevelitton
I saw some chinese users using a dummy battery with PD input and a cylindrical power bank attached to the strap with the wire routed inside the strap to the camera; almost invisible.
I have looked in to smaller ones and there are some great functional designs out there but the issue is that I cannot find ones that deliver 9V 3A. I could give my camera a trickle charge with those smaller ones but they fact they don't offer a proper charge to my camera negates the smaller form factor for me.
Tried charging with an external usb c to c cable and a 30w charger doesn't have the same 1 hr 30 m charge time as the built-in cable, something to be aware of.
Can you tell where this Ankers manufactured? Mean in which country. It should be written somewhere. I search all their site but couldn't found where that little sign.
Not sure which Amazon store you are looking at but the UK store says it does 9V 3A (as well as 5V 3A) through the USB-C port. It also says that on the box, it might just be an omission in that version of the listing.
@@stevelitton But when is 5V 3A ?!? Thanks, you are one of the only ones to deal with this problem well. My idea is to run in CFexpress 2TB on the GH7 or UHS II V90 (more expensive) on the G9 MkII (no wired connection = security, rain, etc.) with the Lumix DCC18 which comes out in USB-C and this Anker Nano fixed on a cage below or on the side. The advantage: after 3/4H, we quickly disconnect for another Anker Nano and the day is assured..Bad idea?
@@imageson9297 No problem. That will just be for devices that don't accept 9V. Yeah that would work, I am not 100% sure how long you get from the Anker Nano through the DCC18. You would get longer if you had an internal battery and then just used the power bank to top it up over USB because you get the additional 2200mah. I wouldn't advise using the DCC18 in wet conditions though as it compromises the weather-sealing of the camera.
@@stevelittonwrong, it has passthrough. I use it all the time. usb C input via anker adapter and the built in cable to the s23 ultra. It is topping up the battery and charging at the same time.
Question to all of you owning this powerbank: To me it seems that the built-in USB-C cable is very snug/tight fitting into all of my devices. It requires a fair amount of force to plug/unplug it. Can anyone confirm this? I'm kind of worried about the USB-C ports of my devices. Thanks alot!
I can't say I notice that on mine. It could be a manufacturing defect on your particular unit. Maybe hold it up to another USB-C cable and see if you spot any noticeable differences.

I have the same black power bank. That nano would be nice for a sling or fanny pack. I agree anker is the best powerbanks
It's a nice little addition when you want to travel a bit lighter. I have already done a few shoots with it and find it very practical.

Thank you! Love it and love the Ankr brand. Good to know that this smaller version work!😊
No problem, yeah it's pretty solid, I will shoot a breakdown of how much extra battery life it gives the camera very soon.
Hi great video! Could you post a link to that magic rig attachment? Thanks!
Hi, thanks appreciate it 🙏 The one in the video is this one 👉 s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCkNi5f but you can also use something like the SmallRig Universal SSD Holder 👉 amzn.to/46tzmVn
Thank you for your presentation. I have your larger PB I use to operate the GH-6 outside. Will this do the same thing?

@@Filmmaker809 Yeah I know its quite poor really 🤞 we see a better battery in the next iteration of the camera.
I sure so. :)@@stevelitton
Just a quick question, how long does it take for the power bank to fully recharge? I’m using a 65w charger and it takes 4 hours 😅
That's odd, I charge mine on a 30w Anker charger and it never takes more than 2 hours to get it back to full charge using the USB-C lead.
I saw some chinese users using a dummy battery with PD input and a cylindrical power bank attached to the strap with the wire routed inside the strap to the camera; almost invisible.

Tried charging with an external usb c to c cable and a 30w charger doesn't have the same 1 hr 30 m charge time as the built-in cable, something to be aware of.
Mine charges at around 90 minutes using my Anker charger and cable. I haven't tried other chargers though.
Good info, thanks Steven. 👍
Thanks Ron, appreciate it 👍
Can you tell where this Ankers manufactured? Mean in which country. It should be written somewhere. I search all their site but couldn't found where that little sign.
Just dug out a box for one of mine and it says 'Made in China'.
Tank you@@stevelitton
@@MultiHotFlash No problem 👍
Why for the Anker Nano is it rated 5 Volt and not 9V on Amazon ?

Hi
Good video
🇬🇧
Thanks, glad you found it useful 👍
Is this 5k or 10 k capacity?? Because mentioned 5 k!!can you clarify?
Sorry for the confusion, it's 10,000mAh.
U don't need a cable to charge it. Use the one that comes with it.
You are absolutely right, you can use the cable attached to the power bank for changing, you just need a USB-C plug for it. Sorry, my mistake.
It does not have passed through charging, I am sending mine back.
Yeah if pass through charging is something you need then this isn't the one for you. It's not something I ever use personally.
@@stevelittonwrong, it has passthrough. I use it all the time. usb C input via anker adapter and the built in cable to the s23 ultra. It is topping up the battery and charging at the same time.
@@JD-nf6xb That's interesting that doesn't work on my version. I have tried every possible combination for pass-through power and none of them work.
