My history with anchor is varied. At one point they produced the finest of everything at the cheapest possible price.

Then for a couple of years they produced a bunch of garbage that would barely get the job done.

I was buying a lot of anchor products for work. About half the power delivery chargers I purchased over a three or four month period burned out at least one of the ports. I have a bunch of battery banks where the USBC port stopped working.

Now they seem to be back on top again, but I don't just blindly trust them and buy from them anymore I'll get one or two and test things out before I buy a bunch.

Yeah, i can second the power strip thing. I have three right now, one is completely dead, the usba/c ports don't work on another, third one has been flawless so far.

I might look into the newer options, but I'm a bit skeptical now...
