As we approach summer, camping, outdoor activities, and storm power outages leave many with a need for a power solution. The Anker PowerHouse 767 is a portable power station that promises to keep the lights on and devices powered up. It is essential to have versatility in a power station, and Anker has developed a product that checks off many boxes.
The Anker PowerHouse 767 has a massive 2048Wh capacity and 2400W output. The box comes with everything you need, including the PowerHouse, AC charging cable, car charging cable, 5-port solar charging connector, and an accessory bag to keep it all contained.
I love that the AC cable does not include a power brick, and the accessory bag should be standard with all portable power stations. Everything you need to get started is included, and the user manual is detailed and easy to follow.
The Anker PowerHouse 767 measures 20.5″ long by 15.5″ tall by 10″ wide, which I found fairly compact considering the capacity and features.
The relatively small size makes it easy to carry and store in small places, but don’t let the smaller size fool you; this power station is hefty. At 67 pounds, some may find it difficult to move around.
Luckily, the design includes all-terrain 4.72″ wheels and a well-made retractable handle. So while it may seem heavy, it is easy to roll around and move.
The wheels and handle are rugged and should last many years of hard use. There is also an optional expansion battery available, which brings the total capacity to 4086Wh.
The massive 2048Wh battery and 2400W will power most appliances, from microwaves and refrigerators to power tools.
The unibody, drop-proof design is packed with LiFePO4 Batteries and industrial-grade electronic components, and this InfiniPower technology is long-lasting and reliable. The batteries are rated for up to 3,000 charging cycles, giving at least 10 years of use.
The case is impact-resistant, drop-proof, anti-UV, and flame retardant and should survive the roughest adventures.
The front of the device is packed with outlets and an easy-to-read display; four AC plugs, one TT-30, two car sockets, three USB-C, and two USB-A round out the available outlets.
We will revisit the TT-30R outlet and try it with my camper later in the review, but having this available is a game-changer for anyone with a travel trailer or RV. Above the display is an LED light with several brightness settings and an SOS setting. The light comes in handy at a campsite or when trying to plug in items in the dark.
The display is bright, clear, and easy to read, and I like how Anker carries their design qualities across products. With the large, integrated display, it is easy to see how much battery remains as well as input and output watts; the panel is informative and looks great.
The Anker PowerHouse 767 can be charged via an AC power cable, car socket, or solar. It charges 0-80% in just 1.4 hours and 0-100% in 2.5 hours. I have not charged the battery from 0%, but it does charge really fast.
The 767 can accept up to 1000W of solar, and the adapter included allows for connecting multiple solar panels. I have used it with an Anker portable panel, and it works great.
If we decide to stay off the grid at the ranch, I may build up my solar array to include the entire 1000W to really get the full benefits of free, clean energy.
With all of these features, how does the Anker PowerHouse 767 perform?
A recent thunderstorm left us without power for a few hours the following day. We needed to run the pool pump, so I decided to plug the Anker PowerHouse 767 in and let it go; it flawlessly cleaned the pool.
We cooked on the pellet grill and charged my golf cart from the PowerHouse. Everything other than large air conditioners have easily run off of the battery.
The TT-30R outlet is a game-changer for me. We use our travel trailer a lot, often not near shore power; being able to run the camper from the PowerHouse 767 makes life on the road so much easier.
We are able to run just about anything in the camper as long as we take care of the number of items being used. When using the microwave or stove, you just have to be mindful of other things running.
The AC will not run on the Anker PowerHouse 767, but I have yet to find a portable battery that will run the AC in our camper.
Even so, there is something beautiful about using clean, quiet energy that is recharged from the sun while camping; it makes trips so much more peaceful!
Interestingly enough, the PowerHouse 767 is actually powerful enough to charge an electric car! To do so, you’ll need to purchase a neutral-ground plug; after plugging it into one of the outlets, you can then charge your vehicle.
To add convenience, The Anker PowerHouse 767 connects to the Anker mobile app, bringing control and monitoring to your phone.
This works great while we are in the camper. Instead of going to the unit to see how much power we are using or the battery level, I can pull my phone out and check it. The app is great as it connects to your Anker products and is easy to check out in one spot.
The Anker PowerHouse 767 is a compact portable battery loaded with features; it is designed and built to survive the roughest trips and last for many years. It charges fast and can utilize up to 1000W of solar power to keep it running, and it provides enough power to run many devices at once. The camper plug inclusion is a game-changer for anyone who owns an RV or travel trailer.
The Anker design is attractive and intuitive, and I like how they carry this design style across all of their products. If you are in the market for a high-capacity, portable power station, the Anker PowerHouse 767 is certainly worth considering. While it is a bit on the heavy side, the integrated wheels and telescoping handle make it easy to move.
The Anker PowerHouse 767 retails for $1,999; it is available directly from the manufacturer and other retailers, including Amazon.
