This was my upgrade from the 521, and honestly love this. 4 days out of the week I’m living in my car. Working, etc and I bought this to help not drain gas, or power from my car. This works amazing. Plugging in my blanket during cold mornings below freezing temps or during the hot fall temps plugging in my fan. Along with charging my iPad iPhone, DJI Action camera and DJI mavic air 2. This can last most times 3 days depending on how I use my heated 60W blanket 4 days without the drone, and using my 60w blanket around 2 hours a day give or take. Portability, this isn’t something I’d throw in a backpack and go hiking with or even go paddle boarding with, but to have in my car, car camp or use for outdoor entertainment plugging in a low wattage projector, music system and etc this is amazing. I will admit i wish this had more c ports. Instead of one have 2. Two usb A and 2 usb C would be nice. The light strip helps me a lot, how ever I wish it was a cool white, instead of a warm white. Overall tho I’m very happy I purchased this product. I’ve been looking at so many power stations but kept looking back at anker for the history I have with the brand. From power banks to soundcore, earphones and headphones. The anker 535 I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants something powerful and lightweight. Also when you add a solar with this product, it continues to bring such a amazing experience. Read more
Bought for emergence back up for CPAP and phones and haven’t had one yet. But can share observations. The display on front is helpful and accurate. When I hooked it up to top the charge, it said 30 minutes to full charge and was right on the mark. Using the same display I hooked up my ResMed CPAP. With the tank and hose heater turned off plugged into AC inverter, the display showed 35 hour estimated run time. Using the DC plug in (with DC cord purchased separately) it showed 60 to 80 hour run time. It also tried powering our adjustable bed fram and power recliners ( nice to be able to move these in power outage. Handle each easily. The USB sockets will be helpful when needed for phone charge and the LED light on the unit also a nice idea. Nice well designed unit. Read more
Excellent power source. Charges quickly, has been very dependable. Perfect for camping Read more
Great unit. I have had it for over a month now and am very impressed. It can run my car fridge for days, thus not relaying on my car running to keep it going. Read more
This is an excellent little charger. We had some nasty storms that took out our power for weeks. This unit charged quick (under 2 hrs) at work, and lasted about 5-10 hours with a light and fan being used. It also charged our devices overnight. Did not get the solar panel, but for what we needed it was great. Unit has sat in the closet since last year and is still at 99% battery. Read more
I have been looking for a solution for an old APC UPS with a dead battery. It appears I can only get SLA battery for replacement. So I started to look into power stations supporting UPS mode (0 ms interruption) or pass-through charging. I am glad I found this one. Also it’s important that Anker is a reliable brand. Chargers, batteries and power supplies must be from reliable brands. It’s stated as 512wh but probably only around 450wh is available which I kind of expect. I tested the UPS mode and it does work (plugged in devices don’t need to restart when the charging wall plug is disconnected.). One concern is if constantly plugged into wall (charging) will shorten the battery life. Anker tech support responded it will actually elongate the battery life which is music to the ear. I hope it’s designed just like a laptop computer when plugged in, it uses outlet power instead of battery. So battery usage is less if constantly plugged in. For the power stations supporting pass-thru charging mostly mention constantly plugged in will shorten the battery life. I have a power strip with a cable modem, wifi router, surveillance camera system and security alarm system plugged in and I have this power strip plugged into the Anker 535. It appears the power consumption is 70w, so I should get around 6.5 hours if there is a power outage. This is very good for what I want. To be even better - 1 more USB-c port, lighter weight (some other brands have lighter ones with even bigger capacity), extendable (connect more to create a bigger battery, newer Anker model seems to support this), Read more
I probably have a relatively unique use case for the Anker 535 power station, and its performance and ease of use exceeded my expectations. The technology and warranty are also very confidence inspiring. I recently had a need to move my treasured BMW to a somewhat remote storage facility for a month, due to water invasion into my garage. I keep my BMW in tip-top shape, complete with a new-ish OE BMW battery. To minimize degradation I always keep it hooked up to a battery tender. I wasn't sure how long I'd need the storage facility for so, purchased an Anker 535 power station to power my Ctek MXS 5.0 charger. I was able to get 3 full days of charging out of the power station before needing a recharge. Yes, it meant somewhat frequent trips to the the storage facility, but mission accomplished. My BMW is home now and its battery is in perfect health. This was an expensive workaround, but like any well made tool, I'm sure I'll find many other uses for it down the road. It just would have been nice if I could have afforded 2 of them! ;) Read more
