My Favorite Anker Product on Sale

Purchase this now! It’s my favorite Anker product and the price has come WAY down:

Here is a metering test I did on this product a while back:

Metering Anker Powerport Solar 21W

Hi everyone, I finally got a DROK Meter and I kinda went wild with it today. I’ll add a few more metering reviews later, but this one was interesting: I have an Anker 21w Powerport Solar and an Anker Powercore II 20,000 mAh battery. Plugged into a wall, the Powerport II 20,000 draws about 5V at 2A: [image] In direct sunlight with ideal positioning, the PowerPort Solar provides charge at about the same rate, even in the winter at a high latitude: [image] However, even a slight reorientation…

And my review video:

I have had this for years and I still use it all the time. Strongest recommendations.

Ooooh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this but it looks awesome! Especially if you like to be outside a lot like hiking or camping, this can become really useful.

Hi Ryan, how goes it in Helena MT?

I also have this solar panel, I see our chat over 2 years ago on the ideal Powercore to pair it with and it makes me think if Anker is going to keep doing Solar they really need to up the Power output modulation. Dual 10W out requires effectively dual 10W input and the general trend is to PD or IQ3, even if only 18W.

I still have my Powercore 26800 with dual 10W input and so it would be what I’d pair with it to make the most effective use of any strong sunshine. You paired with the 20000 dual 10W input.

There’s no harm in just 10W output, imperfect sun will give that, but you’re not 100% using all the solar energy in perfect sun conditions, you’d need a 2nd device like a phone or a flashlight or something. It averages 14W output in good sun.

@gAnkster Thanks for the great Thorough review I will definitely be picking one up if not 2 for the kids and I. Perfect addition for camping…

Things are good in Helena! Way too hot for February, though. It should be below 10 but its over 50 outside :(.

You’re right about the actual output of this device / input of battery, So I really only need the one solar panel to fully power that battery. Howe er, I’ve gotten into the habit of havin two of these 21w panels and plugging devices into the other. ie. one panel has the 20000 and the other has headlamp / torch / earbuds / speakers, etc.

Thanks @chiquinho! Nice to see you too. My kids did catch the flu so I’ve been home with them this week, but no corona virus yet!
