QuestionCan I use a 120 watt solar panel to charge the 522? Will it do damage to the unit if I use a panel larger than the 100 watt Anker says to use? Also, what size input connector is used for the input?
Asked 1 year ago by Mick.
- Answer Solar panel Chargers up to 100W can be used. USB-C Input/Output: USB-C input/output port 1 can be used for charging the 522 Power Station's internal battery using an optional USB-C cable and USB/AC power supply (both sold separately). Any 11-28V solar charger with a DC 7909 male connector.

Asked 1 year ago by Mark.

QuestionCan you leave this unit plugged in 24/7 so that it is always charged? Or will that damage it?
Asked 1 year ago by Cathy.
- Answer It is never recommended to leave anything plugged in 24/7 once it has been charged to 100%. As soon as it has charged to 100%, do your best to unplug the unit. I have charged the Anker 522 to 100%, unplugged it, and then THREE (3) MONTHS LATER, I found it had 100% of its charge when I turned it on to power up a dead laptop.

QuestionHas anyone used this in a power outage with their sump pump? Wondering how long it lasted or if it even worked. I would rather buy something like this that I plug in when the power is it rather than a battery that only connects to the pump.
Asked 1 year ago by kakarot.
- Answer It has a capacity of 299WH, these units usually have an efficiency of 80 percent. So, usable capacity is about 240 WH. The run time on the sump pump would depend oh how many watts the pump uses. If the pump used a constant 240 Watts, then the battery would last one hour.

QuestionCan this generator power a tv if tailgating for football
Asked 1 year ago by Ah.
- Answer Yes. A 50 inch LED TV typically consumes around 50 watts, so you could power that TV for the entire game without recharging the generator. Look at your TV for it's specific wattage rating then calculate as follows: 299Wh / <TV watts> = <Hours runtime>. So assuming a 50 watt TV, this generator can run the TV for approximately 6 hours.

QuestionCan this run a 24ft rv?
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
- Answer NO, this size power bank is for charging laptops, phones, 12 volt travel fridges. AC output on these units are hard limited to 300 watts. At full output you have less than an hour of run time. A 1000WH unit might be the minimum size that could work. But, might still be limited on what you can run in your RV. A 2000WH unit might be a better fit.
