SurvivalPick analysis
Our assessment
The Anker 737 is a communications-focused preparedness tool rather than a miniature home power station. Its advertised 24,000mAh lithium battery corresponds to approximately 86.4Wh of nominal stored energy, suitable for topping up mobile devices and supporting compatible USB-C laptops. With two USB-C ports, one USB-A port and high-power USB-C capability up to 140W, it can simplify a go-bag charging setup by replacing several smaller chargers.
The display is useful for observing charging input, output and remaining capacity during a disruption. For emergency planning, choose cables that support the intended power level, keep critical phones and radios prioritized and calculate charging needs across household members. It is also helpful to keep a compatible wall adapter or solar-capable recharging arrangement available; a power bank can only deliver energy already stored inside it.
SurvivalPick verdict: Phones, tablets, radios and compatible USB-C laptops during outages or travel.
