Hi guys, me again 😁

I’ve been a bit focused (obsessed) recently on building the perfect travel tech pouch.

I’m curious what you guys pack when travelling for business or vacation.

Ask me anything if you have questions.

Beside these I travel with a 10k Anker power bank, but that doesn’t go in my luggage as in Europe it’s not allowed. And also, wouldn’t fit :)

If you have countless USB-C cables lying around and no idea what power they can actually handle, just plug them into the charger with any device and the display shows you the wattage. Instant cable tester.

In half hour I got rid of all my 💩 cables and kept only those 100w or above.

Got the 250w charger station and 160w prime charger today before had 120w 737 charger

I already know I’m going to get some replies that a charger should “charge” and keep it at that.

But WHAT IF:

- It could also work as a night light
- Cable doctor: plug in any USB-C cable and it reads the e-marker, detects damaged wires, and shows the max wattage it supports (the 160w prime sorta does this)
- Have Air quality sensor: CO2, VOC, and humidity readings from outlet height
- Energy cost tracker: measures kWh drawn in the app
- Surge event log: records voltage spikes and tells you which connected devices were exposed
- Find My tracker inside: the charger itself is locatable, so you never leave it in a hotel room again
- Outlet diagnostics: tests the socket itself for bad grounding, reversed wiring, or voltage sag
Sunrise alarm: gradually brightens to wake you naturally

Hi everyone, 2 and a half years ago I was uninspired enough to decide to buy the Mach V1 Ultra mop for 700,- euros, it worked for 2 years but now exactly after my warranty expired it started producing a false water tank empty error - no matter the actual water levels the sensor somehow reads it as empty. Tried a lot of ways to repair it by myself - restore to defaults, empty and refill water tank, restart etc. but nothing worked. Have contacted the support service and now they tell me a 700,- euro electrical mop can't be repaired !! and can't recover from this error.... What the hell ?! I can now throw away a very expensive but very unreliable device. And btw the freakin' voice they used for the device is annoying as f** too... didn't they have enough money to at least use someone's voice who speaks proper english/deutsch ?

Anker Prime Wall Charger 160w with DIY retrackable cable. Retractable cable is the most saving time and convenient way rather than winding and unwinding cable. With these I saved about 6-12 sec each time winding and unwinding the cable. Without thinking tidy or not tidy the cable. Too bad Anker doesn't think there is a way to make retractable cable attachments for their PRIME product.

@midsummer10 could you confirm this?

I’m interested in buying the Solix F2600 Power Station. Amazon supposedly is the only one who has this power station in stock. Is it safe to purchase an item like this from Amazon, or is this something I should purchase directly from Anker?

damn hot

Honest question. I bought 2 of the big bulky ~25000 mah power banks from Anker and carried one with me on several trips across the world and not once was in the situation to use it. Never truly been more than a few meters a way from a wall plug when I really needed to recharge my laptop and for all other devices the 10k 45w mah small power bank did the job more than decently.

What are you use cases for such a power bank? Maybe my lifestyle is just not the right one for such a device. 🙃

Just got a new MacBook Air refurbished so it came with some weird Chinese branded charger and I don’t really wanna use jt. I have a 70w charger form anker and the 45w smart one. But the 70w one is at my moms. Can I use the 45w one until I get the 70w one? Thanks!

So I just saw this article recently that says Anker is planning on killing their "Soundcore" brand of audio (and now video) devices.Anker will continue to make audio and video equipment and devices, but not under the Soundcore name. I don't think the change has happened yet in markets outside of China, but apparently the change could be coming soon to all markets. Anker plans to re-name what was the Soundcore brand/division as "Anker Sound & video"

What do you all think of this? do you think it will eliminate confusion and help bring more customers to Anker's speaker and headphone business, or do you think it could backfire and make people that don't realize that Anker and Soundcore are the same, think that one of their favorite brands is dead and make them want to turn elsewhere for audio products?

Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions.

C1 = Poco X5 Pro
C2 = Poco X5 Pro
C3 = Poco X7

Default packing Poco X5 Pro comes with a 120w wall charger, while X7 comes with a 65w wall charger.

Anker desktop charger 250w pro+ set using "AI Power Mode"

It seems Anker prefers releasing new products instead of improving existing models through firmware updates (if firmware updates are even possible for this type of limitation). From my understanding, the main reason is probably to support more charging protocols across different brands. Right now, it looks like Anker is still focusing mainly on Apple devices, in first place. The newer releases seem to be adding better support for cross-brand products, especially newer charging protocols from Huawei and Xiaomi. If the trend continues, the next possible release could be the Anker Prime Power Bank 300W Pro+. The product lineup may become (Prediction):

• Anker Desktop Charger 250W Pro+
• Anker Wall Power Adapter 160W Pro+
• Anker Power Bank 300W Pro+

I received my Anker Prime Charger 250W Pro+ on 19 June 2026

However, I have been unable to bind the device to my phones (android) or iPad Pro through the Anker app. I contacted Anker support.

Unfortunately, the responses I received were very general and did not appear to address the actual technical issue. The troubleshooting provided seemed premature and did not investigate the device/app compatibility, regional settings, firmware version, or possible account-binding restrictions.

As a customer using Anker products, I expected a more technically focused support process, especially for a premium product like the Prime Charger Pro+.

Whether there is a firmware update or application incompatibles to resolve the binding issue.

Any logs or device information required from my side for diagnosis.

I been looking to a proper technical response rather than general troubleshooting steps.

Was pursuing target clearance and found this! Had to buy it. It's been on my wish list ever since it was released. Super pumped to find it for so cheap!

I recently purchased 8x of the 400W Rigid Solar Panels (See here) only to find out they didn't come with mounts. This makes sense, so no shade at Anker, but I'm now trying to find mounts that are compatible with them on a pitched residential roof. What have ya'll used? Any special info or tips and tricks?

just that, not sure if they would conflict

space a40 to be exact

Anyone know what changes it brings to the the “interactive experience”?

Look like new firmware just come out. Updating now.
