This charger gave me the freedom to travel away from home, and still keep my phone working 100%. It was especially useful in foreign countries when the plugs were different, or in airports when I couldn’t find a charging point.
It’s a chucking unit of a battery but it charges my iPhone at least 6 times before I need to recharge the battery.
It’s the Tesla of portable batteries – you couldn’t run ya car or house from it though but it’s fine for phones
So far, so good; this power bank charges my phone at roughly the same speed as when connected to the mains supply, and drains the bank at a rate which suggests it will provide up to 4 full charges once fully charged itself. The product arrived with <50% charge (the visual display indicates 25/50/75/100% charge), so the first task was to charge it up - it took >10hrs to achieve 100% charge (broadly what I expected from reading other users’ reviews), and has since performed well when providing a top-up for my phone. I rarely get down to 50% remaining charge on my phone from daily use, and the power bank seemed to comfortably top this up to 100% on at least 5 occasions before the 50% indicator light on the power bank went out. This Anker power bank is a welcome addition to my toolset.
