I’ve found Anker’s small batteries to be of high quality. I own a Tesla Powerwall which works well and has nice integrated software and seemed like the best option without a heavy DIY lift as of a few years ago.
Great to see competition here as it will drive more innovation. It will be interesting to see how the software picture will evolve:
Smarter appliances and electric vehicles that talk to the power controller to charge or do more work when there is excess power would be a big level up for these systems.

In order to limit the possibility of catastrophic runaway of the pack you have to have extremely robust inter-cell or inter-module thermal isolation and heat rejection. These features are basically non-existent at the handheld power bank scale. It'll be interesting to see Anker enter this space of large batteries. Either they'll work really well and you'll see them quietly get installed in lots of places, or they'll be in the news when they have a series of runaways and light some balconies on fire. That being said, a lot of the risk gets taken out with lower charge and discharge currents vs a vehicle application.
