Holy crap.
I wanna take it apart.
I think it's fair to say
that this is getting ridiculous now.
Anker sponsored this video
to check out their 757 portable power station.
And I know why they called it that.
This thing is absolutely freaking enormous
and extremely heavy.
It is jam packed full of lithium iron phosphate batteries,
outputs a peak of 1500 Watts
and is rated for 1,229 watt hours.
Meaning that you could actually run small appliances
like a blender or even a microwave off of this thing
for short periods of time.
And run things off it, you definitely could.
More than just that, it's got a massive six AC outlets,
four USB type A's, two USB type C's
totaling 160 Watts of power output.
A car socket.
Okay.
Just in case you have something that plugs into one of those.
Oh, oh, oh, this is good power saving mode.
That's very useful.
That's wonderful.
Need to save my power.
One of the coolest things about it though,
is that depending on how you charge it,
you can get it from zero to 100% in just over an hour.
So that's directly off of an AC outlet.
It'll do 80% in I think one hour.
And then if you charge it off of solar panels,
it'll do it in about four and a half hours.
And if you charge it off of your car,
it'll go in a little over 10 hours.
So the idea being,
that whether you're camping
or you're more of a van life type of person,
this could be pretty much all you need
to get you through the night, every night.
There's your solar input.
There's your AC power input.
There's your breaker reset.
Ooh, built-in flashlight.
I actually wasn't expecting this one to have one.
One of the ways that you can use this style
of kind of light bar flashlight
is you just put it on your camping table or whatever else,
and it just shines a warm glow over everything.
So you can see your marshmallows to put on your stick
or whatever else the heck it is that you have to do.
Holy crap.
I wanna take it apart.
I am looking at some flipping enormous battery packs
with some very real cooling on them, ladies and gentlemen.
0.8 watt hours.
So I think these are gonna be 18650s.
That's not the important thing though.
The important thing is the grade of those cells.
Now you can get cheap 18650s that will do a few hundred,
200 recharge cycles.
These are rated for 3000 charge cycles,
meaning your 757 power station,
well, along with its five-year warranty,
is probably gonna outlast whatever electronics
you would plug into it.
How would I even go about getting this thing open?
Oh, super cool.
I think it might actually be easy.
I need my screwdriver.
Not entirely sure that I'm supposed to be opening this
in a sponsored video.
I mean, it feels like plastic,
but I guess the inner metal parts of it
would have to be something a lot stronger than that.
Wow, flipping heavy it is.
Oh, wow.
I like to keep them in good shape.
These are great for video shoots and stuff like that.
And this one is like juicetastic, so fine.
I will put it back together for now
and we will hook some stuff up to it.
Button to power the AC outlets.
Hey, hey, there we go.
We got 99.9 hours left.
That's not gonna last long.
You ready?
RTX 3090 gaming PC, here we go.
Oh yeah, we've got the lighting on and everything.
We're doing it up.
Oh, hilarious.
Yeah, the whole setup is powered by this thing right now.
It claims I've got a couple of hours of this,
but I don't have a game open yet.
It's pulling 400 watts right now at idle
between this computer and monitor,
the lighting, everything.
And it still says it's got a solid three hours in it.
Let's see what happens when I launch a game.
Oh, this is an HDR monitor too?
Dang, this thing's gonna suck back power.
We're up to 500 watts.
Like you could conceivably run a flipping microwave
off of it. I need all the power.
Here we go.
4K, absolutely cranked quality.
733 watts, and it wants to run for over a fricking hour.
We should plug more stuff into it.
What else we got?
Okay, you gotta shut me down, Bell.
Bring more stuff.
An Aperture Nova, you say?
Oh my God, it's heavy.
Ooh.
Oh, Nova indeed.
Okay, I have the power of the sun in the palm of my hand.
Are the cooling fans going now?
Yeah, they are.
It's still got 0.9 hours,
and we're drawing over a thousand watts.
I need more power, Bell.
Bring me an Xbox.
Let's say you're off grid,
and you can't decide between your OP gaming PC
and your console.
It's still only 1100 watts.
Come on, Xbox.
Okay, I need more power then.
How could you go through 3000 cycles
unless you're using it in a professional setting?
Like personally, how could you possibly do it?
Like how many times do you go camping a year?
How many years of camping trips is that?
But I guess if you are, okay,
if you're, you know, van life, right,
and you're charging it every day,
yeah, you could conceivably go through
even more than one charge in a day.
So maybe it could last you like eight or nine years,
but still that's a lot.
This is an RTX 3090 running off of a battery bank.
Like think about that.
Think about how far Anker's come
from being like the kind of weird brand
with little battery banks and mobile accessories,
on Amazon to like running a 3090 on their power station.
Well, what else?
Yeah, sure, give me a Mac.
I'm ready.
Oh, perfect.
Got that Anker charging cable.
Love it.
All right, I'm gonna use that Type-C port.
Oh crap, come on.
Which one's the 100 watt one?
One's rated for 60, one's rated for 100 watts.
Okay, 1277.
Okay, do something on this.
What does this, what does it do?
Okay, let's get Civ going.
We got a game here, ladies and gentlemen.
This is ridiculous.
It's still at 76%.
100% battery, 1353.
We're getting close.
Okay, there we go.
Like what res is this?
Oh yeah, no, that's not low res.
Okay, 1328.
It's not even going that hard.
Apparently it uses this like dual inverter technology
that makes it hyper-efficient.
What did they say, 92% or something like that?
It's not kicking off a lot of heat
considering that it's outputting 1300 watts,
which we know is true.
Like we're not just taking their word for it.
This is an HDR display.
We're running this MacBook Pro.
We've also got an RTX 3090, 5950X gaming machine
running there, this fricking light.
Like that's not some fabricated number or anything.
And it's outputting almost no real heat.
That's super cool.
Did you happen to bring a cable?
Sure did.
Okay, I'm adding my phone to the load.
Like it still says it has half an hour left.
I seriously think it is underestimating
how long it has to go.
I think this is kind of like,
like the E on a gas tank.
Not actually empty.
Not actually gonna be done in half an hour.
Ooh, that gets us to like 1450.
It's like a hundred watts when it's lifting.
Not much else to say other than that,
obviously I don't expect you to use it like this.
This is more intended for like, you know,
long weekend getaway or something along those lines.
Like I said, you know, van life or boat life
is another great example of what you might do
with something like this.
There are some solar panels up on the boat,
up on the top of the van.
Really, really cool device.
Obviously you don't have to spring
for the super high end one.
They've also got the 535 and the 521.
Those are lower capacity versions of the same basic idea.

We're gonna have lots more videos like this one.
I'll see you there.
So ridiculous.
Make it hurt.
Okay, good enough.
