Light weight and good quality fast charge. Bought to charge ZWO SEESTAR S50 it charges it fully once and light enough to velcro to the SEESTAR. Excellent to attach when power is low saving losing data.
I bought this “after” a camping trip at the beginning of June ’23. I’ve only used it once to charge my phone since then and after recharging the power-bank it’s stayed fully charged for 5 months. Very competitively priced and reliable power-bank. Would definitely recommend.
Great for holidays when travelling inbetween or just to keep in your bag for long “electronic” days when you know you’re gonna run out and need to charge several devices – I charge my phone, vape and watch when I have forgotten to charge them overnight.
Very reliable and very good for the price. Can get multiple charges out of this.
I also have the small one just to have in my bag but that’s for about 80% phone charge.
Bought 2 of these for the Inca Trail 4 day trek to charge our phones. Worked perfectly. Have x2.5 charges for I phone 10 XS and Google phone. Not too heavy. Very happy so far.
Great build quality but -1 star for not including a carry pouch like our other one came with
Delighted to have a battery life extender that I can take anywhere. I charge it and put it in my bag ready, no more panics when I’m out and abou
Has been useful, and fuss-free ownership.
However a new phone with a USB-C charging lead both ends and I found I couldn’t use this power bank because there’s no USB-C out (only in).
No great drama I guess – just needs a USB-A to USB-C cable instead.
I’ve bought this a while ago and it has been a life saver. It holds so much and charges really fast both your phone and itself. This means its really efficient and thats what i like about it. After all this time of daily use, almost a year now, it has held up impressively. Strongly recommend if you are looking for a good power bank.
The material is solid, it can handle being dropped and knocked about and can charge my phone (Pixel 2 XL) around 2 times from 0-100%. The only issue is the charging time – without a fast charger, it can take around 4-6 hours to fully charge. This isn’t an issue if charged overnight, but can be frustrating if forgotten to charge when needed
It does have a usb c port, but that’s ONLY to charge the power bank itself. This might have been written on the listing but it’s clearly not as obvious. Great powerbank other than tha
But there are ways I would improve it. The biggest one for me is that it only has a single USB-A output, and the USB-C and Micro USB connections can only be used for charging the device. That made it slightly less flexible for me. I’d love to have been able to charge my phone and watch at the same time, but that’s not possible.
The other potential negative is that it is pretty slow, so If you’re traveling you might find yourself using your phone with it permanently connected to the battery pack with a cable. It’s not really suitable for doing quick top-ups then putting it away again.
That said, if you can live with that it’s great value. I had no problems getting on a plane with it and it allowed me to use my phone to take loads of photos on my holiday and still have charge left to navigate my way back to the hotel using maps.
This can charge my Samsung s22 plus twice over and only takes an hour or so to fully charge from depletion.
Comes with a cable to charge or you can use the USB C cable
Great produc
~~~ Pros ~~~
1- Slim and lightweight design: The Anker Power Bank is one of the slimmest and lightest 10000mAh power banks on the market. It measures 5.9 x 2.7 x 0.6 inches and weighs only 7.4 ounces, making it easy to carry around in your pocket or bag. It also has a scratch-resistant matte finish that gives it a premium look and feel.
2- High-speed charging technology: The Power Bank features Anker’s exclusive PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technologies, which combine to deliver the fastest possible charge for any device. It can charge an iPhone 12 up to 50% in just 30 minutes, or a Samsung Galaxy S20 up to 40% in the same time. It also has a USB-C port that supports both input and output, allowing you to charge the power bank or your devices with the same cable.
3- Low power mode: It has a unique feature that lets you switch to a low power mode by pressing the power button twice. This mode reduces the output voltage to 5V/2A, which is suitable for charging low-power devices like Bluetooth headphones, smartwatches, or fitness trackers. This can help you save battery life and avoid overcharging your devices.
~~~ Cons ~~~
1- No fast charging support: The Anker Power Bank does not support any fast charging protocols like Quick Charge, Power Delivery, or Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging. This means that it cannot charge some devices at their maximum speed, especially those with larger batteries like tablets or laptops. If you need a power bank that can charge your devices faster, you might want to look for one that supports fast charging standards.
2- No integrated cables: It does not come with any built-in cables or adapters. You’ll need to use your own cables to connect your devices to the power bank, which can be inconvenient if you forget them or lose them. Some power banks have integrated cables or magnetic connectors that make them more convenient and portable.
3- Limited additional features: It does not have any extra features like LED indicators, flashlights, wireless charging, or multiple outputs. It only has one USB-A port and one USB-C port for charging your devices, and a four-LED battery level indicator. It also does not have any safety features like overcharge protection, short circuit protection, or temperature control.
~~~ Reasons to buy ~~~
– You want a power bank that is slim and lightweight for easy portability
– You want a power bank that can charge your devices quickly and safely with high-speed technology
– You want a power bank that has a low power mode for charging low-power devices
~~~ Reasons to avoid ~~~
– You want a power bank that supports fast charging protocols for faster charging
– You want a power bank that has integrated cables or adapters for convenience
– You want a power bank that has more additional features or safety features
~~~ Conclusion ~~~
The Anker Power Bank is a reliable and compact power source that can charge your devices quickly and safely. It has a slim and lightweight design, high-speed charging technology, and a low-power mode for emergencies. However, it does not support fast charging protocols, it does not have integrated cables or adapters, and it does not have any extra features or safety features. If you’re looking for a simple and affordable power bank that can charge your devices on the go, the Bank is a good choice. But if you’re looking for something more advanced or versatile, you might want to look elsewhere.
It packs two iPhone 14 full charges which was good sent as my phone drained very quickly. This powerbank kept us going. However, the product in itself is on the heavier side.. I would have like it compact and light weight. Its sturdily built and charges fairly quickly.
I would give it 8/10 (-1 for weight and -1 for size) . However, I would buy it again.
So far it done it job easy to use and change up.
Neat power supply and works well. Storage life is good.
A great product. Itwas a present for my husband and he was delighted. It charged his phone several times
My son used this to stay in touch on a foreign field trip. Worked really well for him.
Although slightly bigger than I would have liked, this charger is very powerful and charges up really quickly.
Haven’t used it to charge my phone yet, but ideal for what I wanted to charge with it.
Bought this to use with a heated back massager , so I can move around and go outdoors when wearing the belt. Very useful, and quick delivery appreciated.
Can’t go wrong with Anker quality
Charge my S23ULTRA from zero one and a half
Reasonable.
Light weight and easy to use
Both, micro USB and USB-C option for charging.
Would be perfect with a type C out po
Seems fine well packers and simple to use, only had it a week so still early days
Honestly, I never go anywhere with out this! It’s great and charges my phone more than once
I do a lot of reading on my iPad mini 4 and down load books from the library which is free reading excelle
Very sleek. Great capacity. Not the lightest out there but not cumbersome eithe
Needed this while travelling and I used it to charge my phone and tablet. The charge on it lasts a long time as well
Excellent.
Anker never fails when it comes to quality and use ability. I’ve bought a number of their products and they are always excelle
Very solid battery pack. Trickle charged and now ready for back up. Don’t doubt it’s usefulness.
This is the second one I have bought for my son – so useful
Always get Anker power banks. This was to replace one my daughter had stolen. Find them to be reliable and you get charge things multiple times before it’s need charging itself.
As my iphone ages it runs out of battery really quickly so this is brilliant to have on hand to charge it up again quickly, relatively small and light to carry
Well using my phone all day On the day of the concert, it came in clutch when I needed a quick recharge to take a video of the artist. It does the job and it does it well
Takes a little time to charge but if you need to top up your phone outdoors it is perfect.
Never have a flat phone battery again.
Only had for a week or so, but everything seems to work OK. Good value for money. Delivered on time and in good condition.
Been using this powerbank for quite a while now and wouldn’t leave home without it, not sure how many charges you get out of it but it fully charges the phones 4 or 5 times at least.
Love the product as it’s ideal for travelling ( light) but also powerful, charged the I phone 2.5 times and holds the power for a week plus if not in use
I’m using this power pack as a battery life extender for my Quest 2 VR headset (with a 3rd party battery strap). The battery capacity and size/weight of this pack makes it ideal for this purpose. It’s not too bulky, and the textured outer surface.gives it plenty of grip so it doesn’t fall out of its mount.
If I have to give any criticism it’s that this has both USB C and USB micro input ports, with a single USB A port for powering out. There’s no reason to put a micro USB on anything anymore – I’d have preferred a USB C outlet in its place.
This powerbank is the best we have ever bought. It’s stylish, light enough to carry in your pocket and also it has so much long battery once it’s fully charged. Bought the second one for my husband now.
I always buy anker power bank. It’s good quality enough capacity to full charge the phone twice. And it’s a nice gift that I bought for my brother in law. Thank you
It is slim and ideal for travelling. It charges at reasonable rate and can charge an iPhone quickly 3 times before requiring recharge.
but you need to prepare special USB-A to iphone cable to use i
A good, solidly built product that has recharged my Pixel 4a twice and still shows 50% in reserve. I am very pleased with this purchase and recomnend it.
As someone who travels a lot and constantly has the issue of my phone nearly dying I cant recommend this enough !
Slim power bank that does my iPhone recharge two times. Useful indicator lights as to charge left in the storage. Quick to recharge.
it was great and then.. it just died. out of the blue, no warning
BUT Ankur quickly offered me a replacement. so pleased overall
This is a great bit of kit to have, I can charge my IPhone around 10 times with this fully charged, highly recommend and would buy this item agai
I bought this for someone in hospital to keep their phone and watch charged. Seems to be lasting ages. She’s been in there over a week and still half full from one initial charge.
It’s bulky, can’t recharge it with USB C, only USB A, and charge speeds for the phone are very slow. Guess that’s what you get when you don’t want to put too much money into it.
Otherwise does the job.
Good Quality little powerbank, lasts 2-3 days inbetween full charges for me, and good price!
Bought to take on my travels. Looks good not used it yet.
Great sized powerbank, Not too large, Good design, Battery life left indicator is helpful. It charges my phone 3 times on a single charge. Perfect for a few days away from a plug. Just remember to charge it!.
This power bank does exactly what it’s supposed to at a very competitive price. My last one recently wore out & stopped charging so I was looking for a replacement. I went for Anker as it is a quality & reliable brand & this device was one of the cheapest at this power level.
My new power bank is far superior to my old one – it charges up fast & powers up devices equally quickly. You can easily keep track of the power level through the 4 blue light indicators. But what I like best about it is how stylish it is – I have the black version which is very sleek & the slim shape & light weight makes it perfect for travelling or just taking out anywhere with you.
I have used this to charge my iPhone & Airpods with no issues using a USB to lightning adaptor & I charge the power bank using either the micro USB (it comes with a cable) or USB C ports which both work great. I’ve managed to get several full charges of my phone out of one charge of the power bank, so it’s perfect for my level of every day usage.
Slim and powerful battery pack that’s great for on the go. Can charge with 2 ports but only 1 output USB port for charging a device. Has 1 button on the front of the unit to switch on when changing, that has 4 small LEDs to display remaining charge in pack.
I love Anker chargers. They’re good value for money and hold a good charge. I manage to get a few top-up chargers from one charge of the power bank.
With winter power cuts on the horizon here in the U.K., I thought it would be good to have a power pack to hand. Then if the electricity is cut off, I can still recharge my phone to use it.
This power bank is what I had been looking for. The charging power last quite a while. It is easily transported around in my handbag with its slim frame.
Discreet state of charge indicators and not too large or heavy and has enough capacity for most travel situations where it may not be possible to plug-in.
I use other Anker products and found them reliable and I’m not disappointed with this battery either.
Charges an iPhone 10 about 3 times
Quick charging
Quite large for the power
No complaints ye
Had this charger for years and still works perfectly. Very handy for when out and about. Does take a while to charge the battery pack but I have no problem letting it charge overnight. Charges my phone very quickly. Would recommend this!
So will charge ones with long time to gave you 70%
First time buy battery from amazing but bad experience will never buy items like that from amazing
Comes with a nice travel case. you’ll need short charging cables for travelling, and they can be carried in the travel cover. It is a bit bigger than I was expecting but charges fast
Edit – 6 weeks later it stopped working. turns itself off immediately. I go on holiday in less than a week, which is what I mainly bought this for and it’s packed up after 6 weeks. Anker customer service are usually good at replacing products if you email them but this powerbank was a waste of money, and I now need to buy another one before I go away so I have it in time
Unfortunately, this is not the case with this charger. I have found it to be very slow to charge my mobile phone, and it struggles to complete 2 charges before running out of power. The trickle charges is also a bit confusing, as this only work for 1-2 hours, and then reverts back to a normal charge. There is also only 1 output port. This may have been my fault in not checking this, but just beware.
I would return , but bought this at last minute to take on holiday, and cannot find all of the packaging.
Overall, a very disappointing purchase.
PS I was subsequently contacted by Anker UK, who offered me a full refund with me not being entirely happy with the item. That is very good After-Sales service, so I have increased the overall rating to 4 stars
Did a fair bit of research on Google and Youtube before purchase and the Anker chargers seemed to be highly recommended. I didn’t want to risk a no-name charger due to safety concerns, but didn’t want to spend a massive amount as I will only use a portable charger on holiday a few times a year. It takes 4 or 5 hours to fully charge, and will then charge my Oneplus phone from 5% to 100% in about 90 minutes, which is actually a bit quicker than my regular mains charger (the Oneplus comes with a fast charger which can charge the phone in 45 minutes or so, but I rarely use it as I think these fast chargers can eventually shorten battery life). The Anker will also charge the phone about 3 times before it needs recharging itself. It feels sturdy, holds it’s charge when not in use and basically does what I want. Not bad for less than 20.
Slim
Well designed
Good build quality
Multiple inputs to charge (only one input at a time)
Handy storage bag to keep it safe
Cons
Only micro usb input cable provided
I have read through the numerous reviews of the product stating its ports are limited, cant charge more than one thing etc but for the price point and target its actually very reasonable. I would only trust a known brand like Anker or official ones here as many of the unknown generic ones could easily be dangerous or damage your phone battery (think overcharging etc)
Anker have consistently proven to be a good brand. I have two fast charge plugs for my iphone 12 pro max and those are equal quality to the genuine apple ones but faster 27w. So given my previous experience expected an equivalent quality for the price.
Given these are fairly reasonably priced they offer everything you need in a emergency battery pack. My phone ran out of power in the forest and so I had to wait till i got back to the car before I could use. If only I had this it would have been fine.
I have not used yet but expect this to function perfectly fine for what I will need. Also it was only part charged so does need a full charge before use. It is a little bit of a shame you do not get a usb-c input charge lead as I have never liked micro usb for that task. Either way great product and I will review this in a few months to confirm initial findings.
A bit surprising it doesn’t have the capacity to charge more than one device at a time (or maybe the USB-B connector is usable for output, the manual is rather vague on that, not that anyone would have a B-to-B or B-to-C cable anyway) and it doesn’t seem to engage fast charging on my Samsung Galaxy A40 so is a little lethargic (about 20% slower than expected — not a deal-breaker but a little irritating and calls into question quite how smart this really is). Also a bit vague about the purpose of the trickle charge mode, which research reveals seems to be about overriding the low-draw cut-off, and reviews suggest has a time limit which might be problematic and contrary to the common understanding of the term. But it’s a nicely made unit with a pleasing physical finish, and having successfully tried charging a few things, it’s still on the full four (highly directional, visible only from virtually directly on) LEDs so would be dependable for a few days away from mains power. It’s larger but slimmer than some other banks of this capacity, but this probably suits most people better, especially when it still ends up smaller than most smartphones. Note that I almost missed the charging cable tucked in the inner packaging, although it wouldn’t have been too much of a loss to omit given that anyone using this will have suitable cables already.
I bought this so I can play my Oculus (Meta) Quest 2 for longer periods when I am not using PCVR or streaming from my pc wirelessly using VR Desktop. This battery bank has enough capacity to extend the play time by 3.5 to 4 hours at least and is also an ideal companion for my mobile phone if I’m far from a charger up in the Lake District and I’m using my satnav. It comes with a charging cable but you may need a longer cable to connect to the device being charged. In my case a standard USB to usb C was needed to keep my quest 2 going. Output was enough to increase my Quest 2 battery charge while playing so it was at higher% at the end of play time than when I started. It fits neatly in my back or jacket pocket and is about the same footprint as my Galaxy S10. Definitely a good purchase.
So satisfied with this product. Charges fast, looks great. Couldn’t ask for more.
The device is of great quality. It’s nice that it comes with a pouch to store it in. However, I wish the power button was on the side. The fact that it’s on the front means that one can accidentally press it when not needed. It has happened many times to me when I’m trying to search for something in my handbag.
All good – recommend it – does what it says it will.
Charged quickly, slightly heavier than I expected but really good
Great power bank from Anker as usual. Bonus as it comes with a free mitt just in time for the snow 🙂
Nice power bank . Much lighter than my old one much bette
Good Anker quality and so-far-so-good its performance is up to scratch. Purchased at a reduced price at which I judge it to be good value. Prior to this, I purchased a cheaper brand which, almost immediately,
failed and was returned so you get what you pay for.
Can’t fault this product. Used everyday for the last 3 weeks and it still has charge!! It is lightweight and perfect fit for your handbag
Got a couple of these for family camping trip & they were ideal, power for several charges of different devices & we have used them since too.
Great purchase for great value. Works well easy to use
For travelling this is the bees knees. It charges so quickly & provides an amazing 3 charge fulls for my iPhone X. Same profile too, altho’ somewhat thicker, with a slightly roughened surface to reduce likelihood of slippage. The cabling is a bit of a drawback, needing a tiny USB to charge the device, and normal USB to fit the other end of the lightning cable into. One day you hope they’ll be just one cables for all such devices!
My brother uses his phone for work and the apps drain his battery but with this charger he is good all day. Happy bro happy sis. Great gift idea.
Good size. Not a huge capacity but will do a phone or tablet reasonably quickly if you are stuck out. Charges quickly.
Really impressed with this item. Lightweight, portable and chargers my phone very quickly when I am on the move and do not have access to a wall based charger.
This product is great and helped me as I’d always carry a charger around but when I was out and about there wouldn’t always be a charging spot. It is fairy lights weight and what I love is that I can get multiple chargers out of it. The only downside is that is takes a long time to fully charge, about 3/4 hours so keep that in mind.
Slim and lightweight and perfect for heated waistcoats you won’t know its in your pocket.
This is brilliant, it’s very compact and charges very well.
The Anker Power Bank allows me to run my GoPro action camera all day while fishing, and avoids the necessity to change batteries periodically during the session, with the possibility of missing some of the live action.
used it for my day in London kept my phone charged all day
Once I found out how to use it I was very pleased. Charged my phone faster than my usual wall charger. I have an old phone and the battery doesn’t last as long but this gadget will get me out of trouble when I’m out and about and saved me having to buy a new phone.
When it is fully charged it charges my phone multiple times .Light weigh
Bought as a Xmas present so cannot advise on its usage. Good price though
Really good products as always with Amazon. Gave my Samsung Galaxy S10 4/5 charges.
