Reply to comment by danfinger51 in Anker recalls 535 Power Bank over fire safety concerns by GeT_Tilted

I contacted anker support and they have issued a full refund (waiting for it to complete) they also suggested the 537 as a replacement and offered me a 20% discount.

It's about 150g heavier, slightly more capacity and has a higher output.

I realize this seems a bit like a different segment, but the 737 is fantastic. I have a few powerbanks (used to travel for work), but the 737 goes on sale pretty often for like $110 (it's currently $149.99 but with a $40 coupon on Amazon) and has 24,000mAh, 140W output, 2 full-speed Type-C and 1 Type-A port, and a helpful display that shows exactly how fast it's charging/discharging. I've only had this one for like 2 months, but it's been great.

It's hard to find a powerbank that charges as quickly as it discharges...but I've charged this thing at 120W (fastest charger I had) and I have no reason to believe it wouldn't charge at 140W if I had a charger for it. It's the only powerbank I've owned that can charge my MBP at full speed through the MagSafe (which is 100W, IIRC, on the 14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro).

I really need to get a power bank with fast charging. The current Anker one I have maxes out at 10W I'm pretty sure

I just committed to one, excited to try it out. Do you plan on getting 747 charger too? I have the Nano 3 30w and it’s been a lil trooper. My strongest brick is my 61w MacBook charger.

Nah, I don't need to charge that fast. I have a few 60W Anker charging blocks and they're great.
