The battery of my Anker power bank went bad within a year. I hope they have a better BMS in this thing.

This seems like a repackaged/rebranded version of the GoLabs

No voltage-adjustable DC output?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Glad to see they are pivoting to the much longer lasting (cycles) Lithium iron phosphate. And it says it supports pass through charging and MPPT for solar.

How Does the solar panel work? Unless that is a separate unit that you need to purchase?

Golab has 300W AC vs Anker 200W, 12V cigarette port is not regulated, might be deal killer for some, still a nice price for LiFePO4 battery pack

None of the units I own have that.

With LiFePO4 the 12V regulation is not necessary because of the sharp cliff.

LiFePo4 should have much greater life

Something like the one in this: https://www.amazon.com/USB-C-Port...SKJBRRVP7S

So that we don't need to carry AC adapter to charge old laptop which doesn't support USB-C charging.

This isnt a good deal. GoLabs often has their 300Wh LiFePo4 unit for around $200 after coupon on Amazon.

Note that people have tested the GoLabs AC inverter and it cuts off at more like 270W of output but that's not a huge deal as most devices you would use with a unit of that size are not going to be in that power range anyway.

I am guessing you didn't all of that page about the 521.

I am thinking you can't do math.
GoLabs is $199 ÷ 299 Wh = $0.6655 per Wh
Anker $140 ÷ 256 Wh = $0.5469 per Wh
