The Anker 737 Power Bank houses a hefty 24,000mAh or 86.4Wh battery, which is under the 100Wh limit making it safe to fly with. To give you an idea of what or how many times it can charge something, it can top up an iPhone 13 nearly 5 times or a 2021 iPad Pro 12.9″ 1.3 times. For many smaller notebooks, you should be able to get a solid single charge from this battery.

Build and Design

In terms of build quality, the Anker 737 Power Bank has a nice smooth finish, with a completely flush display on top. It isn’t too difficult to hold given its size, opting for a longer thin design versus more of a larger brick shape. The construction feels pretty sturdy, and our sample has taken a few drops without any ill effects. When it comes to weight, it does have some heft but that is expected given the large battery.

Anker makes the 737 Power Bank simple to use, which is most evident with its single button and basic OLED screen. The display provides real-time information about the output and input power, allowing you to monitor the charging progress. Additionally, it estimates the time required for the power bank to fully recharge or discharge, giving you a better sense of planning and managing your charging needs.

Under the advanced area, the screen will show you the number of charge cycles the battery has gone through, overall health, current temperature, and other useful power stats. You can also change if the screen goes to sleep on its own or stays on all the time if that is something you want to adjust. That also happens to be the only adjustment available on the battery.

Conclusion

The Anker 737 Power Bank offers both an impressive capacity and charging capability in a compact package. With Power Delivery 3.1 support and a bi-directional USB-C port, the 737 Power Bank is able to quickly charge itself, or deliver up to a 140W charge to connected devices.

The 24,000mAh/86.4Wh battery offers ample power to keep your gadgets running in the field, while the OLED digital display gives you useful information about your charging activities. With three USB connections, solid build quality, and a large battery the Anker 737 Power Bank is a very useful tool to keep in your travel bag to keep devices running far from home or office.
