Anker 535 Portable Power Station with Carrying Case Bag, 512Wh Solar Generator (Solar Panel Optional),500W 9-Port Powerhouse, 4 AC Outlets, 60W USB-C PD Output, LED Light for Outdoor Camping, RV

This was my upgrade from the 521, and honestly love this. 4 days out of the week I’m living in my car. Working, etc and I bought this to help not drain gas, or power from my car. This works amazing. Plugging in my blanket during cold mornings below freezing temps or during the hot fall temps plugging in my fan. Along with charging my iPad iPhone, DJI Action camera and DJI mavic air 2. This can last most times 3 days depending on how I use my heated 60W blanket 4 days without the drone, and using my 60w blanket around 2 hours a day give or take. Portability, this isn’t something I’d throw in a backpack and go hiking with or even go paddle boarding with, but to have in my car, car camp or use for outdoor entertainment plugging in a low wattage projector, music system and etc this is amazing. I will admit i wish this had more c ports. Instead of one have 2. Two usb A and 2 usb C would be nice. The light strip helps me a lot, how ever I wish it was a cool white, instead of a warm white. Overall tho I’m very happy I purchased this product. I’ve been looking at so many power stations but kept looking back at anker for the history I have with the brand. From power banks to soundcore, earphones and headphones. The anker 535 I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants something powerful and lightweight. Also when you add a solar with this product, it continues to bring such a amazing experience.

The Anker 535 performed exceptionally well during initial use, providing stable output, fast charging, and reliable power for multiple devices. While the unit eventually failed after about three months, its performance while functional was very strong and met all expectations for a portable power station.

Bought for emergence back up for CPAP and phones and haven’t had one yet. But can share observations. The display on front is helpful and accurate. When I hooked it up to top the charge, it said 30 minutes to full charge and was right on the mark. Using the same display I hooked up my ResMed CPAP. With the tank and hose heater turned off plugged into AC inverter, the display showed 35 hour estimated run time. Using the DC plug in (with DC cord purchased separately) it showed 60 to 80 hour run time. It also tried powering our adjustable bed fram and power recliners ( nice to be able to move these in power outage. Handle each easily. The USB sockets will be helpful when needed for phone charge and the LED light on the unit also a nice idea. Nice well designed unit.

I probably have a relatively unique use case for the Anker 535 power station, and its performance and ease of use exceeded my expectations. The technology and warranty are also very confidence inspiring. I recently had a need to move my treasured BMW to a somewhat remote storage facility for a month, due to water invasion into my garage. I keep my BMW in tip-top shape, complete with a new-ish OE BMW battery. To minimize degradation I always keep it hooked up to a battery tender. I wasn't sure how long I'd need the storage facility for so, purchased an Anker 535 power station to power my Ctek MXS 5.0 charger. I was able to get 3 full days of charging out of the power station before needing a recharge. Yes, it meant somewhat frequent trips to the the storage facility, but mission accomplished. My BMW is home now and its battery is in perfect health. This was an expensive workaround, but like any well made tool, I'm sure I'll find many other uses for it down the road. It just would have been nice if I could have afforded 2 of them! ;)

I have a Schumacher power bank to run my astrophotography gear, which uses 10% a night, but will not charge my laptop, which only lasts 6-8 hrs. I needed a power pack to recharge my laptop so I could go dry camping and recharge my laptop for 3 nights of astrophotography. The Anker 512wh was on sale for $150 off the normal $499. After arrival I charged it to 100% and then over a weeks time I put it to the test. 1. I recharged my Dell XPS 15* 5 times. 2. Recharged my Galaxy Samsung S21 4 times. 3. Ran a portable refrigerator for 30 minutes bringing the temp from 70° to 32 °. 4. Ran my astrophotography rig for 1 night. After all this I was down to 15% charge. In conclusion, well worth the price, will recharge the electronics I need and is small, lightweight and very portable.

I never received the case? Was there a case? It works really well. But some things like my hot water kettle do not work with it. That is why I give 4 instead of 5 stars.

Power Station works absolutely fantastic and as intended. The USB-C port charging is an awesome addition to boost the charging back up of the unit, usually cutting the charge time about 1-2 hours. It's a good thing too, since it is now my primary source of charging outside of the car charger, as the included AC adapter that primary charged it no longer works after about the 5th time using it. While the AC adapter may be busted, the power station trucks on with Type-C charging overnight at 1/2 the speed of the AC charger now, but still works great overall. 5/5 for the power station, it just sucks that the included AC adapter is junk. Good thing Amazon has plenty of 24v 120W DC chargers to use as a replacement. Update 08/19/22: Turns out the issue was internal to the Power Station. No AC Adapters worked for the unit, so contacted Anker's support through their online form. Within days, they sent a replacement unit (new in factory box) with a return label for the defective unit. They even sent out a new 10000 MAH Power Bank for the trouble. New unit works with the provided AC adapter and 3rd party adapters. Upgrading review to 5 stars for the support's quick response and helpfulness to the situation. The company appears to not only make great products, but stands by them. Need more of that nowadays.

Dependability, ease of use and portable. Hard to beat Anker, efficiency is B grade but if you catch it on the 250$ deal snag 2 of them! Good for 10 years daily use but not many will push that number so it's a no brainer and good for some essentials.
