This has the equivalent of one extra battery cell inside of it over 86wh 737 model that goes on sale for $90 every month. $35 extra for one more cell isn't worth it, but what is worth it if you need it, is 250w combined output from all 3 ports compared to 140w on previous model, and a whopping 170w recharge rate by utilizing both usb-c ports!!! They claim It only takes 37 minutes to recharge. That seems pretty insane to me. It also has bluetooth app support and supports find my features. It looks to me like you mostly over pay for this one for features and better electronics and not so much bigger capacity than anker 737 that was just on sale.

I think it's a good deal for a feature rich and powerful power bank. If I didn't already order 737, I would jump on this.

Here's a review I found interesting from someone who owns both, they also posted pics comparing two side by side, this one is a tiny bit bigger than 737:
No, the TSA maximum is 100 watt-hours. This product is very intentionally below that limit with a capacity of 99.54 Wh. Talking about batteries in terms of amperage isn't very precise since the nominal voltage can technically be different. Capacity (i.e., watt-hours) = amperage * voltage * time.

You just thought and didn't do any research? It's right in the product description Blink

Please know that this power bank is 99.54Wh, which meets the requirements of the TSA(<100Wh) to be taken on airplanes as carry-on baggage.

I wanted this model but I don't think you can bring it on an Airline. I think the max for a carry-on is 27,000 and this is just slightly above it.

Still a bit of a niche product and still too expensive for what it is, but couldn't stop myself from pulling the trigger on it. Thanks OP!

Isn't 100 Watt hours -27027.03 mAh?

It depends on the nominal voltage, like I said. The mAh rating doesn't mean anything in terms of total energy unless you know the corresponding voltage. In your calculation you are assuming 3.7V. Anker is using 3.6V. Neither voltage is "correct", and both are typical choices for the nominal voltage of a lithium cell. The TSA rule is in terms of watt-hours since that is unambiguous.

I've been using the original Anker 737 Power Bank for about seven months now and have come to really enjoy it. It charges (and recharges) amazingly fast, and does both at the same time thanks to its support of pass-through charging. When I saw the bigger, more feature packed Anker Prime 27k release, it was clearly the successor to their flagship 737 bank, so I tried it asap. Worth the upgrade?Size and capacity wise, things are about the same. There's a slightly bigger screen (which still auto-rotates) and it's still heavy. Both chargers have the same port counts which are capable of almost identical charging output. You can buy a new wireless charging dock for the new version, which is super convenient, but then you're not taking advantage of one of the coolest features of this new charger (being able to recharge the unit itself with two USB-C cables at once).One of the things I really disliked about the 737 was that only one of the USB-C recharges the unit. Not a deal breaker, but the ink is black and so is the plastic, so trying to see which port I needed to plug a cable into to charge the 737 was a guessing game unless it was a well lit environment. The Anker Prime 27k solves that problem by allowing both USB-C ports to recharge the device.The phone app is also a neat upgrade. You can schedule when you want your power bank to be fully charged (think optimized charging on the iPhone). You can also schedule when you want devices connected to the Prime 27k to be charged, so that they aren't going to sit at 100% overnight, but rather schedule them to charge fully, say, right before you leave home. This is a neat add on. I will say the addition of Bluetooth to remotely check battery status is also nice, but the feature I see myself using most is the built in "find me" style locator. Not that I loose things often, but just knowing where to look straight away is a time saver. Whether the kids took my charger, I left it in my work bag, or maybe it's still in the camper or in my gym bag, it's just nice being able to ping for it and find it fast. The speaker is about as loud as an AirTag or Tile and is controlled via the phone app.All that said, it's a new offering from Anker, and the full retail price reflects that. If I didn't have the Anker 737 already (which is often on sale for under $100), then I would probably feel better about spending the money for the Prime 27k. For someone looking for a feature rich battery bank, this is a clear winner. For those thinking about upgrading from the 737 or similar size power bank, I would say wait until it goes on sale (or sell your 737 to recoup some of the cost of your upgrade). To the best of my knowledge, this model is the only one in the new line-up that supports pass-thru charging, which is something I can't live without anymore. And being able to use both USB-C ports to charge the bank together like a bonded pair of power cables is great. Makes short order of recharging 27k of battery in this very polished package. Thank you

Best Buy had a price glitch on this - they sold it for $30 instead of $30 off for members a few days ago. I snagged 4. They're fantastic little devices, although it feels weird to have to deal with a screen and firmware updates for a simple battery. The display showing power output is pretty cool though

I've flown with it at least 15 times, no issues at all!
