Anker 737 24,000mAh 140W Power Bank for $69.99

Anker 737 PowerCore 24K 24,000mAh Power Bank with 140W USB Type-C Power Delivery

Originally priced at $149.99, you can now save 53% and get it for $69.99 at Woot! The Anker 737 is a substantial power bank, with dimensions of 4.6"x2.2"x2" and a weight of 1.4lbs, making it more suited for your travel bag or backpack than your pocket. It features two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port, with the Type-C ports supporting a maximum power delivery of 140W. This allows for configurations like 140W from a single port or a combination such as 70W + 70W or 100W + 40W, depending on the connected devices.

When it comes to gaming handhelds, the Steam Deck can charge at up to 38W, the Asus ROG Ally at up to 65W, the Asus ROG Ally X at up to 100W, and the Nintendo Switch at up to 18W. The Anker 737 can charge all these devices at their maximum rate, enabling you to play and charge at the same time.

A 24,000mAh battery translates to a 74Whr capacity. With an 80% power efficiency rating, which is standard for power banks, you get about 59Whr of usable charge. This means the Anker 737 can fully charge a Steam Deck (40Whr) or Asus ROG Ally (40Whr) approximately 1.5 times, an Asus ROG Ally X (80Whr) about 0.75 times, and a Nintendo Switch (16Whr) roughly 3.7 times. This capacity underscores why a 20,000mAh or higher is recommended for power-intensive gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally, and especially the Ally X.

The Anker 737 is TSA-approved

The TSA allows power banks up to 100Whr in carry-on luggage, and the Anker 737 comfortably fits within this limit at 74Whr. Although its robust appearance might occasionally prompt a security check, as I experienced once at Tokyo NRT, it has always passed without issue through numerous airport checkpoints.
