The power is down at CES 2018

Wish I would’ve been there! I would’ve had my Anker Powerbank too! Glad everything is up and running again.

What is funny is the range of products thst Anker sells is enough to get by, completely: flashlights, charging cables, portable battery backs, etc.

It’s almost as if you were expecting the power to go out!

:joy::joy::joy: That’s hilarious!!

CES 2018: Longer-lasting gadgets showcased - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-42644521

Odd that Anker didn’t make a play here. I just did, for me, a typical business trip and I had a Powercore 10000, LC40, Powerport 4, Slim+ and kept my phone and tablet going as I moved around.

The 10000 can get me through the worst situations.

Which product is that on the picture? Looks like a smaller version of the PowerHouse, but I can’t find it anywhere!

Wait, I think I found it:

It’s a brand new product, apparently, a lighter and cheaper PowerHouse, announced at the CES but not yet in the market. Is that right, @AnkerOfficial?

It looks cute and useful and I want one! Seems the perfect size for a camping trip.

Do you know what device is the white one the guy picks up at about 1m30? The lonely port he shows on one side looks like an HDMI, but I can’t imagine why.

P.S.: It’s at the same time interesting and weird seeing a Roav Viva plugged into the Anker PowerHouse :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Too little info. Ports don’t look USB-C to my eyes. So implies not a USB-PD hub.

Annoyed with Anker they will say to someone in Vegas who walks up, and not say here. Disrespect of the community.

I think it solves a problem which can be solved better. Given the $.

I do camp, have done for 35 years. I’d rather carry a Powercore 10000, a Powerport 2, Solar 21W, a small tablet and shrink my needs to fit in the $10-$60 products which exist.

Yes, the Powerhouse 200 is not yet on the market. It just had its first debut on CES. :grin:

Believe it is a USB / USB-C hub with PD…the HDMI looking shape looks like the end of a fold out section (you can just make out the the edge down the side), possibly a fold out foot/stand?

Edit;

Can see a better image here on @elmo41683 post here ;

Figure 8 power cable input with USB-C and USB-A output…

Any chance it might make it outside the US for sale when / if it’s released?

US power socket.

I just imagine Anker’s booth being a beacon in the darkness.

I’m not sure. I will have to ask the brand manager then. Will let you guys know when it is ready to be on the market. :grin:

Noticed that after my post…pity they didn’t look at making it more universal for sockets (even with adapters) for the Powerhouse revision as there seems to be quite a fan base outside of the US…

Output is USA pins but most AC input devices are multivolt so an adapter will suffice. Input similarly.

However I doubt it will officially ship to UK because it exceeds CAA rules and for sea shipping expected unit sales would be too small for the inventory risk. Then add the generally accepted Brexit debacle on customs and currency.
