Anker PowerCore 737 24,000mAh Power Bank for $93.99
with 140W of USB Type-C Power Delivery
The Anker PowerCore 737 can be used like any other power bank; it does a fine job of charging any of your standard mobile electronics. It has two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port. One of the USB Type-C ports is bi-directional, meaning it can be used to charge devices AND it can also be used to charge the power bank itself. The massive 24,000mAh is just under the TSA's 27,000mAh limit. I recently brought this power bank to a trip to Japan. At the security checkpoint it was removed and the wattage fully tested. It passed with flying colors and I was able to get through security with my power bank in tow. Because of the larger capacity, it's physically larger than your average power bank and weighs 1.4 pounds.
What really makes special about the PowerCore 737 is its massive power delivery spec. The 737 is capable of delivery 140W of power output That's enough power to charge the 16" MacBook Pro laptop even while you're using it. That kind of power output is hard to find in a power bank and usually pricier.
The Anker 737 is our pick for best Steam Deck / ASUS ROG Ally charger
We picked the Anker 737 as one of our favorite portable chargers for the Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally portable gaming handhelds. This is an outstanding charger for handheld gaming consoles like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Switch. Both the ROG Ally and Steam Deck suffer from a short battery life when gaming on the go. During our Steam Deck review, we found games like God of War or Spider-Man would tap out in under 2 hours. At the end of the day, you'll never get the full potential out of your Steam Deck or ROG Ally if you're not equipped with a decent portable charger. The Steam Deck accepts up to 38W of USB Power Delivery, ASUS ROG Ally accepts up to 65W, and the Nintendo Switch up to 18W. That means the Anker 737 can theoretically charge a Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, and Nintendo Switch at their maximum charging rate all at the same time. In real world applications however, most power banks thermally throttle themselves from the excess heat generated when they are forced to charge at the max wattage for a long time.
