I know I post a lot of battery bank videos. But as someone that has a laptop that charges with usb c, a tablet, phones, and etc... It's so nice knowing I have something so powerful, that it can keep my laptop going for many more hours. and also my phone is supplying internet to my laptop, so I don't have to worry about the phone dying either.
Plus my previous Anker power bank videos have hundreds of thousands of views, so clearly there is a need for them. And this is a BRAND NEW release and this is the first video on TH-cam, of this product.

Just a fyi to folks on the 535 since it has been mentioned in a few comments and I have one too but Anker has issued a voluntary recall on it most likely due a reported house fire that occurred. I believe that's why you aren't finding them for sale.
I ended up with this one for that very reason, plus would be more practical for my laptop
Thanks for always posting these videos!
You’re very welcome!
Split between the 737 and 537 myself. The 535 would of been ideal but it got recalled.
My phones are old so only charge at 15w my main reason is wanting to upgrade my Anker 325 20k Gen 1 units as they take ages to charge (10 hours with 10w input), the 737 looks nice but not sure I need something that fast at charging or large as day to day carry.
Mostly I am just done with the 10 hour charge times of the older units which otherwise have been great.
The reason it is slowing down will be state of charge and temp related I would think. Normal for any battery.
Specs claim empty to full in 3.5 hours which for me would be a huge improvement over my 325 10.5 hours.
I’ve done a couple of full charges and found it to be between 3.5 and 4.5 hours
Great video as always Josh
thanks Jay!! Much appreciated.
GOOD video but VERY confusing at times !! Switching between 2 different Power Banks it was supposed to be a Review on the ANCHOR 537 !!! You may know what you're looking for but some of use want to hear about the product you reviewing the 537...
it is!! but how do you say "this is worth buying" when you have other choices. I do it in literally every single power bank video and you're the first to comment that. How do you know you made a good choice when the market is filled with power banks. The main point of this video is the 537, but there are other similar ones. How do you know you made the best choice?!
I understand what your saying,But It's a review of a Particular product and I personally didn't care for a review of 1 product but heard a bunch of stuff about a different product or an Older model of the same manufacturer Just my opinion ! Didn't mean to offend you it's the 1st time I read one of your reviews and did not expect what I seen and heard...@@wwjoshdew
yo thanks for the review, just got one of these b/c i also want the double usb-c outlets, kind of weird how slow the large chargers on the market have been to go with that, seems pretty obviously preferable to a bunch of usb-a. anyway, watched your video after i got it because like you said there's no reviews, feel a lot better about the purchase and looking forward to getting it.
No problem 👍
My 537 also can be charged only around 19W instead of 30W... According to your video even the 535 can charged at 30W.
I’ve tried and sometimes I get 30, but usually I only get 20. I did a Timelapse here: th-cam.com/video/5tXmNHCgRjM/w-d-xo.html
Same here. Was in discussion with Anker. Tested with different cables, 65W and even 140W chargers but still only 18-20 watts input.
Returning my 537.
best video. I have all I need. thanks bro
Thanks for providing us with these videos ... I'm also a charger enthusiast
My pleasure
@@wwjoshdew Josh, would you be so kind and let us know which one is better 737 or 537? Ofc for laptop...
@@Matti_us_Alpe 737!! 537 is second place.
@@wwjoshdew even in this short reply I can feel the energy and admiration hah. Thank you!
@Matti us Alpe ... you can usually find the 737 for 100 bucks. The 737 is 120 right now. The 537 is 80 right now. For that price I’d probably go with the 537. But it only charges at 30 watts. The 737 can charge at 140. So the 537 takes forever to charge back to full, but the 737 takes about 40 minutes!! Like HOURS less!! both are really good and the 537 is easier to carry in a pocket. Just get the 737! Haha
Update: there is a common issue with my (correction) 537 where it charges at just 20 watts most of the time. And I’ve gotten emails and comments (many of them) from people confirming theirs only charges at 20 watts. That means almost all day to recharge it, where the 737 is less than an hour.
Love your videos, keep it up! Just bought it myself..
thanks Harry. I really appreciate the kind words. :)
I'm really happy with it! It has quick charge, so you're phone or ipad is quickly fully charged. I can charge up my iPad 12.9 inch up to 100% and around half (I would say) my phone. Then it's without charge... It'll charge your laptop no problem, I would say around 1 charge. For your phone multiple for sure! @dandon1105
Has it been worth it ?
@@dawoodhindo3673 I‘m still very happy. A recommend for sure! 🙌🏻
aoppreciate the vid mate ,.
Thanks. I try! Anker 537 65 watt power bank. #anker537 @AnkerOfficial

Gonna buy this for my steam deck let’s see how it does
If anyone has a 537 powerbank, mine only recharged on input at 18-20 watts, not 30 watts. Used Anker 65W and a 140 watt charger...with 100amp cable. Be aware. Supposed to recharge within 3.5 hours. 20v output only got to about 0.92 amp, not 1.5 amps.
Return to sender.
Tested with 2 chargers 735 & 717 and 100 amp cable.
535 was $99. For about same money,
got a 737 powerbank instead for $149 minus $40 with code discount. Although 737 needs 717 charger to take full advantage of 140 watt charging/recharging input/output. Anker offered 15% refund if I kept 537 powerbank.
No thanks. Returned it since was within 30 day window.
Otherwise I think is a good powerbank.
16,000 mAh useable charge. Charged my S22ultra 5000mAh 3.2 times.
Thank you sir
I needed this video.
It really seems smaller than it's said, I charged steam deck from 50 to 95, when power bank was full, when I finished it showed only one dot, which is less than 25%
@wwjoshdew is this power bank specifically just for laptop's or can it be used for anything that needs to be charged meaning tablet bluebooth speakers wireless earbuds smart phones drones etc. etc. And also does it have trickle charge for smaller things such as ear buds and bluetooth speaker or anything that needs to be trickle charged. Any info is greatly appreciated
It can be used for anything. I rarely use it for laptops. I don't think it has trickle charge.
@wwjoshdew oh okay thank you for the response I was just curious to see if it had trickle charge because I was wanting to use it for for smaller things such as bluetooth speakers wireless earbuds and drones that need a slower charge as well as smart phones and tablets
@wwjoshdew to answer my own question that I asked you i talked to anker via live chat and they said that the anker 537 65w 24,000 mah power bank for laptop's does have trickle charge so I figured I would let you know so you may find out for your self again thanks for the response btw love the videos they fuel my power bank addiction
Question: Are you having any issues with Over-heating with your Anker Series 5 535 Power Bank??? Thx
nope. Anker issued a recall and refunded me for both of mine. I bought a green and a purple one. They discontinued it for safety reasons.
@@wwjoshdew OK, thx!!!
Thanks for the video! I was wondering how large and heavy the Anker 537 (24k) was compared to the Anker 535 (20k). I am looking for a battery to charge my laptop and tablet but if the 537 is too large I might just go with the 535 (although the 535 seems to not be available on Amazon in the US). I appreciate all your power bank reviews!
The 535 was pulled because of quality issues. The 537 is my current favorite battery bank because i can super fast charge my Samsung and charge my iPhone at 24 watts. So 50 watts altogether. Or charge my MacBook at 65 watts.
@@wwjoshdew Ah ok I was wondering why some places had them and others did not. I think I’ll probably go with the 537 then. Thanks for the reply!
@@wwjoshdew So you can charge and iPhone thru c-1 and another iPhone on c-2 ???
@@joseignaciorivas468 yup! both at around 25 watts!!
Only recharging input at 18-20 watts.
Returned my 537.
Incorrect, goes up to about 35W input charging according to the input specifications at 1:53, though I think the store page said it would go up to 45W.
Just bought this. I play Pokemon Go and want to be able to use my phone cooler when I go out. The cooler uses a lot of power so I'm excited to have something that'll be able to power it and charge my phone. It is a hefty fella though. I'll do some testing and see how long it lasts
How long did the 537 actually take to fully charge?
Haven’t timed it yet. I’ll work on that tonight though! It’s currently full and takes forever to kill. Haha. I’ll drain it and then recharge it.
5.5 hours
2.5 hours on 65w charger
Just pulled the trigger on this one to swap out an older 325 which charges at 10w.
If it does not charge in the claimed 3.5-4 hours it will go back though.
Went for this one over the 737 base don price and size but if this 537 only charges at 20w I might as well send it back and get a 335 that will charge at 20w and still do the job for my phone etc.
My laptop won't charge via USB-C so not needed for that.
Thanks
Hi, Josh! Does this power bank feature pass-through charging?
Can I charge my iPhone 15 on this, or is this only for laptops? Thanks
you can charge anything you want! it will charge your 15 at like 27 watts with no sweat.
Charging at 65 watts will reduce the battery life compared to just 20 watt.
Can you tell what is the power Mac says it's using?
I have 65watts GanPrime but when I connect a Mac pro M1 (60 watts) with my S21 Ultra even though my phone is using less than 33 watts, in my Mac it says that the currently connected power adapter is 33 watts which I think is the total watts 65 divided by 2 and split to each C1 AND C2 port
What I was expecting is the 65-25=40 in my Mac
25 watts is the amount of power S21 uses to charge in super fast mode
hmmmm. the S22 ultra in SFC 2.0 (super fast charging 2.0) can do 45 watts. I've seen 30+. With this power bank though... I don't know. I don't have a S22 anymore. It should do 45 to your laptop and 20 to your phone. that's what it says on the listing.
Mine stopped working charging other device. Like, nothing can be charged. All ports. Absurd. Had it for 1 month
Reach out to anker support. Send them our order number and if it’s within warranty, they will take care of you.
@@wwjoshdew Thanks..
Does your travel bag for the power bank also feel a bit too big for it?
Hey! Thanks for the video! Could you help please, is it possible to charge Iphone 8 or Iphone X with this power bank?
Yes. It will charge anything. Including an iPhone 1. th-cam.com/users/shortsYyYMjz5SX18?feature=share
On the 537 can u charge the power bank while using the other ports to charge other devices?
Objects are pretty close to camera can't apreciate the Items very well.
Hi, I'm not sure if this comment made it. But I'm totally blind, so I can't tell which of the USB C ports is the one you use to actually charge the power bank? If I'm feeling it, is it the one on the outer edge? I just want to make sure I'm using the right port? I'd hate to have it not fully charged, since one of the USB C ports is only for output, and can't charge the power bank. Thanks
Either of the type c ports can be used to charge it.
@@wwjoshdew So what do you mean when you said one is output only, and one is in and out? Thanks
@@MoopEPoom0 one port can charge your more powerful devices faster if both ports are used. Doesn’t matter which one you use for charging.
Does it support pps technology?
Super fast charging 2.0.....??
Now you get this baby for $69. I returned my 535 to get 537.
The city is pulling our power for eight hours next week, so I came here looking for a power bank with 2 C inputs. I can’t believe it doesn’t come with a charger or charging cable. I have older Apple devices (X phone & iPad mini) that charge via lightning cable to USB-C ports and wanted some thing with two USB-C ports. But it looks like I will need to buy a USB-C to USB-C cable. Do you think I can get away without buying the plug because I have an Anker Power Port Atom PD2 (power plug with two USBC inputs)?
@@ScoobyDoosMom this thing takes forever and a day to recharge. Get this: th-cam.com/video/u62ZmGDlMUM/w-d-xo.html or this: th-cam.com/video/Ce3dRyXjcRg/w-d-xo.html
@@wwjoshdew I had pretty much passed on the 537 given there are stronger newer alternatives. I was initially looking at the first one (1383) you suggested but it says it takes 4.5 hrs (!!) to fully charge on a 30 Watt PD charger (which I’m assuming is my 60 watt PD charger with two USB C plugs.) That’s an hour longer to charge than the 537 you reviewed & I thought you said takes 3.5 hrs to charge so that’s actually an hour shorter, not longer unless I’m misunderstanding something? My other issue is I don’t see how to charge A1383. Do I buy a C to C cable & plug from device into my Anker PD plug? At first I thought it charged via that non removable short built-in cable (or is that just one of the 2 C chargers?) but that cord is WAY too short to reach my plug on the floor. Using it to charge the bank would require either having to plug in to my computer (not an option as I have an archaic 2014 MacBook Air with original USB ports) or plugging that short cable into a plug on floor & hope it’s long enough to reach above and into my square shaped PD plug which is plugged into a surge protector (on the floor, not ideal - we have dogs so not ideal to charge it on floor.) I don’t think the newest ones from your 2nd link have enough juice as I want to use it to alternate charging when i get my new laptop + my iPad, iPhone & air pods. I’m also looking at 737 & 747. I like that the 737’s display or 747 which comes with the cord and (power?) plug. So if that cable on your first option is not removable and is only way to charge it, would you recommend either the 737 or 747 considering i’m really looking to charge more than just my phone. Comparing all this information is becoming overwhelming as I deal with many last minute details before this dreaded 8 hr outage on an predicted 93 degree day. Stupid city couldn’t wait until
call to update our block’s electrical grid?!🫠
@@wwjoshdew it says it takes an hour to charge the Anker Power Core 24K 737
Model: A1289 if you use a PD 140 watt plug so I guess I need to buy one of those? The only
pD charging plug I’ve ever used is the two USBC input one for my phone & iPad or air pods but it apparently only puts out 60W max. I’m basically getting this for my phone and my iPad but I don’t want to buy another one when I finally get a new laptop so getting one that is strong enough to also charge a laptop makes the most sense for me. That being said, which would you recommend. I feel most comfortable with anchor because they have the dual seas. I still don’t know what the heck the A input is for or how they plug three Apple devices into it given I have yet to see one with an A input unless they’re using a lightning to A or a C to A cable, if they even make those?
@@ScoobyDoosMom 737 is far superior. Definitely get that.
@@wwjoshdew which one is far superior? I need to order today to get it before the outage. How do you charge the one with the built in plug?
How many times it can charge a hp elitebook laptop?
Does it support old computers for charge and if so what cable do I use? Talking about the 3 prong cable computer with non fast charro capabilities cords like the new Mac apple
Will i fudge my OnePlus 7 pro that max watt input is 30 watts if i use the USB C 65 watt output
No you won’t. It’s smarter than that.
Does this provide superfast charge for Samsung phone?
yes it does
@@wwjoshdewSuper Fast Charge 2.0 ?
Which brand of usb-c with meter on them do you use.
Which one should I buy the 537 or 525 for My s23 ultra and tab ultra
Anker 537 for sure!!!
How many hours the 65w needs to be charged ?
@@zaen_aloud3367 please see my pinned comment. It's a video that will answer your question within seconds.
Dumb question but can i charge two iphones off the two type c ports even though its made for a laptop or wpuld it damage the iphone. Im wondering if it drops the wattage based on whats connected. Does anybody know? Thank you
This Anker 537 on Amazon doesn’t have anything in the description about PD or QC, yet some cheaper Anker banks specify they do have it. Does this have pd and qc? Does it matter? Also what do u think of the trickle charge mode(press button twice to activate)
I can tell you my Z Fold 4 says Super Fast Charging. I don't have a way of testing much more than that. My Pixel 7 Pro charges at over 20 watts using "Charging Rapidly" and my laptop charges at 65 watts. So I'm happy with this battery bank right now.
@@wwjoshdew I’m using it for the steam deck and it doesn’t pop up with the slow charger warning, I was just trying to see if it’s connected when the deck is fully charged will it directly deplete the bank or charge the deck while the deck battery depletes. I’m so confused with this crap
@@steveybiggunzgaming8118 I want a steam deck just for testing!! Even if I don’t like it or use it, it’s a very popular duo. Steam deck and portable chargers. I could then try it with every new video to let people know if it’s worth it or not for their special use case.
@@wwjoshdew steam deck has a ton of room on the back for a power bank. I was using black 3m velcro strips to attach power banks. Now I use the deckmate which is amazing for attaching a power bank, gives a ton more time away from the wall using it with a high capacity power bank. Extra weight doesn’t bother me much. I even have an m.2 enclosure I attach behind it.
It's not 65 watt together though for example it won't charge my One plus 7 at 65 watts
I bought one from Best buy it took less then 1 hour to fully charge
Does it support pads through charging?
most of these don't, so I didn't think to even try it. I just tried it (because I killed it already... by charging my dead laptop! lol), and it does not supply any power to the C2 out when the C1 in is being used. So the answer is no. It doesn't support pass through charging.
@@wwjoshdew thanks
Does it work on old macbook pros with an adaptor?
no. sorry.
Hello! Does it support samsung PPS charging?
Will it support Samsung s22 ultra super fast charging of 45 wt
Hi, I'm blind, so I can't see which USB C port is the one you use to charge the power bank. I just ordered one of these to keep my MBP charged while on the go. But I need to know which port to use to charge the actual power bank. Is it the one on the outer edge? I'm assuming the two USB C ports are together, then the USB A? Thanks
With the power button oriented upwards; the USB A is on the left with the two USB C ports on the right, the USB C port on the furthest right (outer edge) is the one that also charges the actual power bank.
Nice 😃
Can it charge phones?
Absolutely. But this one is awful. Get this one instead: th-cam.com/video/u62ZmGDlMUM/w-d-xo.html It charges like sooooo much faster.
How many charges will this do on a Steam Deck OLED?
It should provide almost one full charge. I do NOT recommend this battery because mine, and MANY many others have only been able to charge it at 20 watts. So it depletes SUPER FAST at 65 watts and then slow and painfully recharges at 20 watts. Sometimes it does 30, but not very often. I'm testing a few 65 watt power banks right now and they recharge at 65w, so less than one hour to recharge it.
@@wwjoshdew I already have this specifically for my SD after asking around and this was recommended at the price point I was looking at.
After a bit more research (post ownership) I’ve seen 1.5 to 1.75 charges on the SD both by testing and in theory. I’ve also reached out to Anker for confirmation.
Most other battery packs of similar capacity seem to be the same or less number of charges. So not sure what to do, was hoping for a powerbank that will do at least 2 full charges, but didn’t want to spend a fortune. It would appear that the 737 has the same amount of charges as well.
Really wish these battery manufacturers would clearly advertise the product in Whrs instead of mAh. But I guess the numbers are bigger in mAh so look more impressive.
Hello can I take this with me on the aeroplane ✈️?
Does this not charge at 65watts?
nope. It is supposed to charge at 30, but it usually charges at 20. check this out: th-cam.com/users/shortsYyYMjz5SX18 and th-cam.com/video/5tXmNHCgRjM/w-d-xo.html
nice
Why not use the 737 over the 537 ?
The 737 is $50 more expensive, and the form factor isn’t the most favorable in many situations
@@TheStopwatchGod idk tbh
If I was tight with space I would get the 535 which is similar to 737 or the 633 if I'm even tighter with space but want options
And I would pay 50$ more for 737 over the 537 because then I am already getting a premium product, pass trough, better speeds and form factors shouldn't be an issue because I'm buying a chunky peace of hardware already which is similar with 537 in weight just differently shaped
It's $60 now.
Charge fast?
@@jovachepi4309 Not really...but...do you really need this to charge that fast?
I bought the Anker 537, advertised at 24,000mah but I only get 15,400mah charge out of it. Im also using a 30W wall charger and it takes 5.5 hours to fully charge, not the 3.5 hours advertised. Anyone else had this?
Most of the time mine just charges at 20 watts. If you check out the pinned comment, I did a Timelapse. Most people are telling me theirs charges at only 20 watts as well.
@@wwjoshdew Thank you, I have messaged Anker and I'll post their response up here as soon as they come back to me.
Here is the response from Anker:
"Thank you for reaching out to Anker, and thanks for your question. In regards to efficiency, all our PowerCores burn 30-40% of their power when they are charging other devices. So this power bank has 24,000mah of power, but the power left for charging your device is in fact 14,400 - 16,800mah."
Another search on Google suggests ALL powerbanks lose up to 40% of their stored power whilst charging other devices which I found very surprising. So it looks like I dont have a faulty product, powerbanks are just very energy inefficient.
I have had a further reply from Anker today. They say:
After confirming with the technical staff, it's normal to take 8 hours to fully charge this power bank. And because of the compatibility problem, it may take 4-5 hours to fully charge the product with a 30W charger.
Please let us know which solution works better for you.
1. If you would like to keep this order, we would like to issue you a 15% partial refund.
2. If you want to return the item for a full refund, please let us know.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Well I must say Im surprised - their advert on eBay says charging time is 3.5 hours when using a 30W charger yet here theyre saying it can take 4-5 hours using the same charger. Misleading?
@@bosiex in my video it did charge at 30 Watts. And at 30w, It only takes a couple hours but most of the time it charges at just 20 watts. Which does take longer.

Nope. They won’t even acknowledge that I exist.
@@wwjoshdew I guess I'm just wondering why buy this when you already have the powercore elite iii
@@explorewithkyle you are absolutely correct. I did not buy this for me. I bought this because it was brand new. There is zero information available on it. No reviews on Amazon yet. No videos on TH-cam yet. If you were thinking about spending 100 bucks on this, wouldn't you want a bit of info first? Like... is it worth it? I made this video to showcase a brand new product and demo what it can and can't do. Basically... a test dummy. lol
@@wwjoshdew I hear ya.. do you generally just return the product after reviewing? I'm just curious on what happens after the video
@@explorewithkyle if I did that... how would I be able to show so many in one video?! lol. Nope. I have never done that. Typically, I have so many of them... that I give them away after a long while.
