How long will the Anker 521 PowerHouse run a phone charge?

Will the Anker 521 PowerHouse run a phone charge?

Yes — the 521 PowerHouse runs a phone charge comfortably

Its 200W continuous output easily covers the 10W draw.

Estimated runtime
about 20 hours
on a single full charge
Est. usable (AC): 196 Wh
Appliance draw: 10 W
Continuous output: 200 W

How we calculated this

We start from the Anker 521 PowerHouse's 196 Wh of estimated usable energy at the outlet — its 256 Wh rating, derated for a safe depth of discharge and ~15% inverter loss — then divide by the phone charge's 10W draw:

196 Wh ÷ 10 W ≈ 19.6 hours

Real-world runtime varies with temperature, cable losses, and how hard the appliance actually cycles. Treat this as a solid estimate, not a guarantee.
