WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.390
Holy crap.

00:00:03.390 --> 00:00:05.590
I wanna take it apart.

00:00:05.590 --> 00:00:06.510
I think it's fair to say

00:00:06.510 --> 00:00:08.110
that this is getting ridiculous now.

00:00:08.110 --> 00:00:09.830
Anker sponsored this video

00:00:09.830 --> 00:00:13.710
to check out their 757 portable power station.

00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:15.150
And I know why they called it that.

00:00:15.150 --> 00:00:20.070
This thing is absolutely freaking enormous

00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:22.870
and extremely heavy.

00:00:22.870 --> 00:00:26.870
It is jam packed full of lithium iron phosphate batteries,

00:00:26.870 --> 00:00:30.470
outputs a peak of 1500 Watts

00:00:30.470 --> 00:00:34.950
and is rated for 1,229 watt hours.

00:00:34.950 --> 00:00:38.410
Meaning that you could actually run small appliances

00:00:38.410 --> 00:00:41.910
like a blender or even a microwave off of this thing

00:00:41.910 --> 00:00:43.950
for short periods of time.

00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:46.710
And run things off it, you definitely could.

00:00:46.710 --> 00:00:51.710
More than just that, it's got a massive six AC outlets,

00:00:52.190 --> 00:00:55.690
four USB type A's, two USB type C's

00:00:55.690 --> 00:00:59.770
totaling 160 Watts of power output.

00:00:59.770 --> 00:01:00.450
A car socket.

00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:01.290
Okay.

00:01:01.290 --> 00:01:03.450
Just in case you have something that plugs into one of those.

00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:05.730
Oh, oh, oh, this is good power saving mode.

00:01:05.730 --> 00:01:06.570
That's very useful.

00:01:06.570 --> 00:01:07.410
That's wonderful.

00:01:07.410 --> 00:01:08.330
Need to save my power.

00:01:08.330 --> 00:01:09.730
One of the coolest things about it though,

00:01:09.730 --> 00:01:11.450
is that depending on how you charge it,

00:01:11.450 --> 00:01:15.090
you can get it from zero to 100% in just over an hour.

00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:17.530
So that's directly off of an AC outlet.

00:01:17.530 --> 00:01:20.210
It'll do 80% in I think one hour.

00:01:20.210 --> 00:01:22.010
And then if you charge it off of solar panels,

00:01:22.010 --> 00:01:23.930
it'll do it in about four and a half hours.

00:01:23.930 --> 00:01:26.510
And if you charge it off of your car,

00:01:26.510 --> 00:01:29.310
it'll go in a little over 10 hours.

00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:30.270
So the idea being,

00:01:30.270 --> 00:01:31.870
that whether you're camping

00:01:31.870 --> 00:01:34.650
or you're more of a van life type of person,

00:01:34.650 --> 00:01:37.570
this could be pretty much all you need

00:01:37.570 --> 00:01:40.030
to get you through the night, every night.

00:01:40.030 --> 00:01:41.950
There's your solar input.

00:01:41.950 --> 00:01:43.810
There's your AC power input.

00:01:43.810 --> 00:01:47.450
There's your breaker reset.

00:01:47.450 --> 00:01:49.710
Ooh, built-in flashlight.

00:01:49.710 --> 00:01:52.250
I actually wasn't expecting this one to have one.

00:01:52.250 --> 00:01:53.910
One of the ways that you can use this style

00:01:53.910 --> 00:01:55.430
of kind of light bar flashlight

00:01:55.430 --> 00:01:57.690
is you just put it on your camping table or whatever else,

00:01:57.690 --> 00:02:00.110
and it just shines a warm glow over everything.

00:02:00.110 --> 00:02:02.550
So you can see your marshmallows to put on your stick

00:02:02.550 --> 00:02:04.350
or whatever else the heck it is that you have to do.

00:02:04.350 --> 00:02:07.640
Holy crap.

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.840
I wanna take it apart.

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:14.480
I am looking at some flipping enormous battery packs

00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:18.300
with some very real cooling on them, ladies and gentlemen.

00:02:18.300 --> 00:02:19.480
0.8 watt hours.

00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:21.580
So I think these are gonna be 18650s.

00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:22.820
That's not the important thing though.

00:02:22.820 --> 00:02:26.400
The important thing is the grade of those cells.

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.900
Now you can get cheap 18650s that will do a few hundred,

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:31.140
200 recharge cycles.

00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:33.760
These are rated for 3000 charge cycles,

00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:36.040
meaning your 757 power station,

00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:37.740
well, along with its five-year warranty,

00:02:37.740 --> 00:02:40.060
is probably gonna outlast whatever electronics

00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:41.080
you would plug into it.

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.220
How would I even go about getting this thing open?

00:02:43.220 --> 00:02:44.120
Oh, super cool.

00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:45.340
I think it might actually be easy.

00:02:45.340 --> 00:02:46.440
I need my screwdriver.

00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:48.660
Not entirely sure that I'm supposed to be opening this

00:02:48.660 --> 00:02:52.210
in a sponsored video.

00:02:52.210 --> 00:02:53.690
I mean, it feels like plastic,

00:02:53.690 --> 00:02:56.710
but I guess the inner metal parts of it

00:02:56.710 --> 00:02:58.890
would have to be something a lot stronger than that.

00:02:58.890 --> 00:03:00.770
Wow, flipping heavy it is.

00:03:00.770 --> 00:03:01.610
Oh, wow.

00:03:01.730 --> 00:03:02.810
I like to keep them in good shape.

00:03:02.810 --> 00:03:06.970
These are great for video shoots and stuff like that.

00:03:06.970 --> 00:03:11.730
And this one is like juicetastic, so fine.

00:03:11.730 --> 00:03:14.150
I will put it back together for now

00:03:14.150 --> 00:03:16.290
and we will hook some stuff up to it.

00:03:16.290 --> 00:03:18.670
Button to power the AC outlets.

00:03:18.670 --> 00:03:20.170
Hey, hey, there we go.

00:03:20.170 --> 00:03:23.610
We got 99.9 hours left.

00:03:23.610 --> 00:03:25.090
That's not gonna last long.

00:03:25.090 --> 00:03:26.110
You ready?

00:03:26.110 --> 00:03:29.230
RTX 3090 gaming PC, here we go.

00:03:29.230 --> 00:03:31.730
Oh yeah, we've got the lighting on and everything.

00:03:31.730 --> 00:03:33.390
We're doing it up.

00:03:33.390 --> 00:03:34.770
Oh, hilarious.

00:03:34.770 --> 00:03:37.710
Yeah, the whole setup is powered by this thing right now.

00:03:37.710 --> 00:03:39.690
It claims I've got a couple of hours of this,

00:03:39.690 --> 00:03:40.990
but I don't have a game open yet.

00:03:40.990 --> 00:03:43.810
It's pulling 400 watts right now at idle

00:03:43.810 --> 00:03:45.290
between this computer and monitor,

00:03:45.290 --> 00:03:46.490
the lighting, everything.

00:03:46.490 --> 00:03:49.970
And it still says it's got a solid three hours in it.

00:03:49.970 --> 00:03:51.170
Let's see what happens when I launch a game.

00:03:51.170 --> 00:03:53.270
Oh, this is an HDR monitor too?

00:03:53.270 --> 00:03:56.530
Dang, this thing's gonna suck back power.

00:03:56.530 --> 00:03:57.910
We're up to 500 watts.

00:03:57.910 --> 00:04:00.330
Like you could conceivably run a flipping microwave

00:04:00.330 --> 00:04:00.810
off of it. I need all the power.

00:04:00.810 --> 00:04:01.650
Here we go.

00:04:01.730 --> 00:04:02.570
Here we go.

00:04:02.570 --> 00:04:05.970
4K, absolutely cranked quality.

00:04:05.970 --> 00:04:10.970
733 watts, and it wants to run for over a fricking hour.

00:04:11.290 --> 00:04:13.110
We should plug more stuff into it.

00:04:13.110 --> 00:04:14.090
What else we got?

00:04:14.090 --> 00:04:17.020
Okay, you gotta shut me down, Bell.

00:04:17.020 --> 00:04:18.040
Bring more stuff.

00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.500
An Aperture Nova, you say?

00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:22.320
Oh my God, it's heavy.

00:04:25.220 --> 00:04:27.010
Ooh.

00:04:27.010 --> 00:04:29.090
Oh, Nova indeed.

00:04:29.090 --> 00:04:32.690
Okay, I have the power of the sun in the palm of my hand.

00:04:32.690 --> 00:04:34.190
Are the cooling fans going now?

00:04:34.190 --> 00:04:35.950
Yeah, they are.

00:04:35.950 --> 00:04:37.890
It's still got 0.9 hours,

00:04:37.890 --> 00:04:40.010
and we're drawing over a thousand watts.

00:04:40.010 --> 00:04:41.910
I need more power, Bell.

00:04:41.910 --> 00:04:43.950
Bring me an Xbox.

00:04:43.950 --> 00:04:45.510
Let's say you're off grid,

00:04:45.510 --> 00:04:49.010
and you can't decide between your OP gaming PC

00:04:49.010 --> 00:04:50.210
and your console.

00:04:50.210 --> 00:04:52.490
It's still only 1100 watts.

00:04:52.490 --> 00:04:54.270
Come on, Xbox.

00:04:54.270 --> 00:04:56.510
Okay, I need more power then.

00:04:56.510 --> 00:04:58.870
How could you go through 3000 cycles

00:04:58.870 --> 00:05:01.290
unless you're using it in a professional setting?

00:05:01.290 --> 00:05:03.550
Like personally, how could you possibly do it?

00:05:03.550 --> 00:05:06.010
Like how many times do you go camping a year?

00:05:06.010 --> 00:05:08.450
How many years of camping trips is that?

00:05:08.450 --> 00:05:09.830
But I guess if you are, okay,

00:05:09.830 --> 00:05:11.510
if you're, you know, van life, right,

00:05:11.510 --> 00:05:13.370
and you're charging it every day,

00:05:13.370 --> 00:05:15.490
yeah, you could conceivably go through

00:05:15.490 --> 00:05:17.210
even more than one charge in a day.

00:05:17.210 --> 00:05:20.430
So maybe it could last you like eight or nine years,

00:05:20.430 --> 00:05:22.750
but still that's a lot.

00:05:22.750 --> 00:05:26.430
This is an RTX 3090 running off of a battery bank.

00:05:26.430 --> 00:05:27.710
Like think about that.

00:05:27.710 --> 00:05:29.130
Think about how far Anker's come

00:05:29.130 --> 00:05:31.250
from being like the kind of weird brand

00:05:31.250 --> 00:05:33.470
with little battery banks and mobile accessories,

00:05:33.470 --> 00:05:38.470
on Amazon to like running a 3090 on their power station.

00:05:38.890 --> 00:05:39.730
Well, what else?

00:05:39.730 --> 00:05:41.320
Yeah, sure, give me a Mac.

00:05:41.320 --> 00:05:42.280
I'm ready.

00:05:42.280 --> 00:05:43.120
Oh, perfect.

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.900
Got that Anker charging cable.

00:05:44.900 --> 00:05:45.740
Love it.

00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:47.360
All right, I'm gonna use that Type-C port.

00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:48.900
Oh crap, come on.

00:05:48.900 --> 00:05:50.380
Which one's the 100 watt one?

00:05:50.380 --> 00:05:53.420
One's rated for 60, one's rated for 100 watts.

00:05:53.420 --> 00:05:55.340
Okay, 1277.

00:05:55.340 --> 00:05:57.100
Okay, do something on this.

00:05:57.100 --> 00:05:58.540
What does this, what does it do?

00:05:58.540 --> 00:05:59.440
Okay, let's get Civ going.

00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:01.300
We got a game here, ladies and gentlemen.

00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:02.280
This is ridiculous.

00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:03.000
It's still at 76%.

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:06.740
100% battery, 1353.

00:06:06.740 --> 00:06:08.970
We're getting close.

00:06:08.970 --> 00:06:10.270
Okay, there we go.

00:06:10.270 --> 00:06:11.150
Like what res is this?

00:06:11.150 --> 00:06:12.570
Oh yeah, no, that's not low res.

00:06:12.570 --> 00:06:15.230
Okay, 1328.

00:06:15.230 --> 00:06:17.090
It's not even going that hard.

00:06:17.090 --> 00:06:20.090
Apparently it uses this like dual inverter technology

00:06:20.090 --> 00:06:21.630
that makes it hyper-efficient.

00:06:21.630 --> 00:06:23.810
What did they say, 92% or something like that?

00:06:23.810 --> 00:06:25.330
It's not kicking off a lot of heat

00:06:25.330 --> 00:06:29.310
considering that it's outputting 1300 watts,

00:06:29.310 --> 00:06:30.750
which we know is true.

00:06:30.750 --> 00:06:33.010
Like we're not just taking their word for it.

00:06:33.010 --> 00:06:34.830
This is an HDR display.

00:06:34.830 --> 00:06:37.250
We're running this MacBook Pro.

00:06:37.250 --> 00:06:41.050
We've also got an RTX 3090, 5950X gaming machine

00:06:41.050 --> 00:06:42.730
running there, this fricking light.

00:06:42.730 --> 00:06:45.430
Like that's not some fabricated number or anything.

00:06:45.430 --> 00:06:48.970
And it's outputting almost no real heat.

00:06:48.970 --> 00:06:51.100
That's super cool.

00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:52.140
Did you happen to bring a cable?

00:06:52.140 --> 00:06:52.980
Sure did.

00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:54.320
Okay, I'm adding my phone to the load.

00:06:54.320 --> 00:06:56.740
Like it still says it has half an hour left.

00:06:56.740 --> 00:07:00.580
I seriously think it is underestimating

00:07:00.580 --> 00:07:01.780
how long it has to go.

00:07:01.780 --> 00:07:03.080
I think this is kind of like,

00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.700
like the E on a gas tank.

00:07:05.700 --> 00:07:07.580
Not actually empty.

00:07:07.580 --> 00:07:10.420
Not actually gonna be done in half an hour.

00:07:10.420 --> 00:07:14.830
Ooh, that gets us to like 1450.

00:07:14.830 --> 00:07:16.810
It's like a hundred watts when it's lifting.

00:07:16.810 --> 00:07:18.450
Not much else to say other than that,

00:07:18.450 --> 00:07:20.710
obviously I don't expect you to use it like this.

00:07:20.710 --> 00:07:23.010
This is more intended for like, you know,

00:07:23.010 --> 00:07:26.070
long weekend getaway or something along those lines.

00:07:26.070 --> 00:07:29.010
Like I said, you know, van life or boat life

00:07:29.010 --> 00:07:30.690
is another great example of what you might do

00:07:30.690 --> 00:07:31.630
with something like this.

00:07:31.630 --> 00:07:33.590
There are some solar panels up on the boat,

00:07:33.590 --> 00:07:34.850
up on the top of the van.

00:07:34.850 --> 00:07:36.710
Really, really cool device.

00:07:36.710 --> 00:07:37.990
Obviously you don't have to spring

00:07:37.990 --> 00:07:39.210
for the super high end one.

00:07:39.210 --> 00:07:41.830
They've also got the 535 and the 521.

00:07:41.830 --> 00:07:44.970
Those are lower capacity versions of the same basic idea.

00:07:44.970 --> 00:07:46.870
You guys can check them out at the link down below.

00:07:46.870 --> 00:07:48.230

We're gonna have lots more videos like this one.

00:07:49.590 --> 00:07:53.420
I'll see you there.

00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:54.920
So ridiculous.

00:07:54.920 --> 00:08:00.310
Make it hurt.

00:08:00.310 --> 00:08:01.150
Okay, good enough.
