I've got one of these - was able to use it in a 6+ hour power outage recently. The light is not super blue but I would have preferred more of a yellow'er light (or option for warmer light). Still, it lit our main room for 6 hours and still reported 99 hours of light left - that was very comforting. Really happy it is LifeP04 - should last forever. Using this as a backup mobile device / tablet charger. Got it on sale for almost $50 off and pretty happy with it. It's a big battery and a great light even if simplistic. Nice review!
IT does not have lfp4 batteries anymore. Only ion type. Only few of them had lfp4, then they change IT on their web page and that picture of lfp4 had gone.
Packaging says 60,000mah But the bottom at 6:22 shows a battery capacity of 12,000mah But it also says it has fifteen 4,000mah battery cells, they where using rather high quality LifePO4 cells as well but there is some information to suggest they switched the cells to much lower quality no name brand if the support emails are to be believed. I'm rather mixed on this thing, I feel like it will be one of those things I need every other year, but I don't trust no name cells to maintain a charge that long, I know you need to cycle these batteries but still do I trust the longevity of no name sells when the selling point was high quality battery cells ...
Nice video very helpful. This would be perfect if it could do 100 watt input charge. The Quick Start Guide on Anker website interestingly enough shows on LCD Input: 99W. So can this do 99W on charge? What are your thoughts?
Has been holding up just fine. Took it on a trip down the East coast as I was worried about snow and getting stuck in my car. Did not need it but was great to have. Camping season is just starting so I am sure it will get more use very soon.
you must be in range for solar charging : 10 - 24V 3A (60W Max). Volts can not be more, amps can be more, because invertor will limit amps. So solar panel victron energy 60 wat or 90 wats are good. Or allpowers foldable panels - 60 wats or allpowers 100 wats is good eswell. But i would rather buy allpowers r600 power station and not this anker 548.

Nice review!
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Anker 548 Power Bank!

@@ivanbenkocky3290Well that is upsetting to hear.
I love this. But for 109.00 what do ya expect. It def does more than most chargers at this price range. Get the solar panels. DEF worth it.!
With just a few changes it could have kept the price and have been perfect.

So far it has been holding up well for me. No issues with losing charge over time.

How's it holding up , I'm in the market?

poor design. lantern should be at the bottom. should have red light and a spot light.
could have done better.
Agree, this could have been so much better.
Light at bottom means light shines less far
This is already better
Since this doesn't come with a charger, what charger do you use for it?
Any USB C cable and power brick or solar panel with mc4 connection.
Good review, I couldn't find a solar panel for this.
When I was testing I used this solar panel: th-cam.com/video/44z9Iuk_81c/w-d-xo.html, but anything with this type of connector will work.
Thank you

Can i take this battery with me in a airplane?
As part of carry on or checked luggage? I am not fully aware of the rules but my understanding is as long as it turns off on its own it should be ok.
airplane are 92Wh ..i.e. 25000 mAh MAX.
Thank you for the insight! It's great to have viewers like you who share valuable information and help us all stay informed.
Supposedly they allowed up to 100wh but tsa let my powerhouse 521 thru
