The height of Anker two in one energy bar Pro is about 44.51mm.
Anker two in one energy bar Pro weighs about 180.9g.
The Anker 2-in-1 Energy Bar Pro is slim compared with Apple's 30W charger.
Put it in the palm of an adult male for comparison. It can be mastered by one hand. It is small and exquisite.
Protocol testing
The protocol test module mainly tests the completeQuick chargeProtocol, Anker two in one energy bar Pro has two charging modes, and users can match the output devices according to the specific protocols in different modes to obtain better resultsQuick chargeExperience.
Charger mode
Use the POWER-Z KM003C tester to read the Type-C interface protocol. The actual measurement supports FCP, SCP, AFC, QC3.0PD3.0, PPS, QC4+, DCP, Apple 2.4A and other charging protocols.
PDIn terms of O message, the measured Type-C interface has five sets of fixed voltage gears: 5V3A, 9V3A, 12V2.5A, 15V2A, 20V1.5A, and a set of PPS voltage gears: 5-11V3A;It is slightly different from the parameter inscription.
Power bank mode
Use POWER-Z KM003C to read theQuick chargeProtocol, the actual measurement supports FCP, SCP, AFC, QC3.0PD3.0, DCP, Apple 2.4A and other charging protocols.
PDIn terms of O message, the measured Type-C interface has two sets of fixed voltages of 5V3A and 9V2.22A, which is slightly different from the parameter inscription, and still cannot display the 10V voltage gear.
Charging evaluation
Next, let's take a look at the specific use experience of this Anker two in one energy bar Pro.The charging head network will give you a comprehensive understanding of this charger from the compatibility test of the charging bank, the whole process test of self charging, and the test of charging while discharging.
Compatibility test of power bank mode
During the compatibility test, we can clearly know the charging condition of the charger for each device. The charging head network will test dozens of devices from mobile phones, game consoles, tablets, notebooks and other devices with chargers, presenting real test data for readers.
Connect OPPO Find X6Pro to Anker two in one energy bar Pro and use POWER-Z KM003C tester to read the power of 8.88V 1.92A 17.05W, and the screen displays successful handshakePDQuick chargeagreement.
Connect Huawei Mate 40 Pro to Anker 2-in-1 Energy Bar Pro and use the POWER-Z KM003C tester to read the power of 7.97V 2.22A 17.69W. The screen displays the successful handshake PD quick charge protocol.
Summarize the tested products into a table. It can be seen from the above figure that most of the tested products shake hands at 9V voltage gear. In addition, Anker 2-in-1 energy bar Pro cannot light up Nintendo Switch TV mode.
The histogram is drawn. The highest charging power of the iPhone 14 is 19.62W.The lowest is the iQOO Neo8 Pro, which is 10.91W. The Anker two in one energy bar Pro has an excellent charging experience for Apple products, and can almost run the maximum output power under the mobile power mode. It has poor compatibility with iQOO and Xiaomi, and other models are in the 14-19W range.
Charger mode compatibility test
Now let's see how the socket mode compatibility of Anker 2-in-1 Energy Bar Pro works.
Connect Huawei Mate 40 Pro to Anker 2-in-1 Energy Bar Pro and use the POWER-Z KM003C tester to read the power of 8.13V 2.28A 18.5W. The screen displays the successful handshake PD quick charge protocol.
Connect OPPO Find X6Pro to Anker two in one energy bar Pro and use POWER-Z KM003C tester to read the power of 9.05V 1.94A 17.55W. The screen displays the successful handshake PD quick charge protocol.
Summarize the measured products into a table. The power of the socket mode is significantly higher than that of the mobile power mode. The laptop shakes hands at the 20V voltage gear, the mobile phone shakes hands at the 5V and 9V voltage gear, and the game console shakes hands with the tablet at the 15V voltage gear. The Nintendo Switch TV mode cannot also be lit in the socket mode.
The histogram is drawn. The charging power of the laptop and tablet is significantly improved in the socket mode. The MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max power reaches 28.51W, basically reaching the peak of 30W in the socket mode. The two tablets have also significantly improved relative to the mobile power mode. The charging power rate of the iPhone 14 has also been greatly improved. Samsung S23+has a slightly lower charging power,Other models are in the range of 10-20W. On the whole, no matter which mode is used, the charging experience of Apple is excellent.
Input the whole process test
Anker's two in one energy bar Pro can use its own pin to charge itself, or it can charge itself through the USB-C interface, which is very convenient. Let's measure the self charging time.
This is the whole process of charging Anker 2-in-1 energy bar Pro with Apple 96W charger through USB-C interface. The power was about 10W 1 hour and 59 minutes ago, then the power continued to decline, and it was fully charged in 2 hours and 23 minutes.
The USB-C interface of Anker two in one energy bar Pro supports 5V2.1A 10.5W fast charging input. In order to recover the power of the power bank more quickly, it is recommended to use a charger with power of 18W and above to obtain the best charging effect.
The broken line diagram shows that the Anker two in one energy bar Pro is charged to 50% in 07 minutes in 1 hour, 80% in 45 minutes in 1 hour, and 100% in 32 minutes in 2 hours with Apple 96W charger.
In addition, Anker's two in one energy bar Pro also supports self charging through its own AC pin and draws a broken line diagram. It can be seen that Anker's two in one energy bar Pro can be charged to 50% in 1 hour and 4 minutes, 80% in 1 hour and 100% in 2 hours and 16 minutes under the self charging mode.
Output efficiency test
The output efficiency is also an important indicator to measure the performance of a power bank. Since Anker two in one energy bar Pro can be used as a power bank, it is natural to test it.
First, the Anker two in one energy bar Pro was continuously output at 5V 3A 15W, and finally the output ended at 1 hour and 5 minutes.The actual discharged battery energy is about 16.19Wh.Therefore, when Anker two in one energy bar Pro is used as a charging bank, the efficiency of continuous output at 5V 3A 15W power is about 16.19/18=89.94%.
Temperature test
Now let's see how Anker's two in one dual mold charging temperature behaves.Put the product in a 25 ℃ thermostat, output it for half an hour at 5V 3A 15W power, and then use a thermal imager to collect the surface temperature.
After half an hour, the maximum temperature of the two sides of the product photographed with the thermal imager is 42.3 ℃.
In addition, the maximum temperature of the surfaces on both sides is 47 ℃.
Summary of charging head network
Anker two in one super charging bar Pro has four color schemes in black, white, pink and blue in appearance, providing different choices for users with different personalities;In addition, it is equipped with a single Type-C charging interface to adapt to mainstream charging methods in the market.
In terms of performance, Anker two in one super charging bar Pro supports 30W fast charging when used as a charger;When used as a power bank, Type-C supports 20W fast charging;Under the environment of 25 ℃, the power of 5V3A 15W is continuously output for half an hour, and the maximum temperature does not exceed 48 ℃. The temperature control performance is excellent.
In the actual compatibility test part, the fast charging support of the device performs well, and can achieve the highest output of the port, basically meeting the charging requirements of mainstream mobile phones in the market.In addition, Anker two in one super charging bar Pro can charge itself through its own pin and Type-C interface, which is very convenient.It also supports charging and discharging at the same time. When you wake up in the morning, whether it is a power bank or a mobile phone, it is fully charged, making travel more convenient.
On the whole, Anker two in one super charging bar Pro provides a power bank mode and a charger mode, and has better temporary power use solutions. For users who often go out, heavily use mobile phones, and are not convenient to carry many charging devices, the applicability and convenience of Anker two in one super charging bar Pro are beyond doubt.
