- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2023Number of Items: 1Verified PurchasePlenty of power to recharge an ipad or iphone. Enough power to substantially add battery life to a laptop.
The power bank is small for what it does and I think the size is quite nice, but others may feel it’s a little too heavy. I do not think most people would be disappointed at the size considering this is 20,000mAh.
It holds its charge when not being used for at least a week or two (I have not had it long enough to test it for longer periods yet.)
It does not run hot.
The only relative negative is that it takes about 4.5 hours to recharge from empty. This is not too long, but may require some planning depending on the situation. Other power banks are out that can recharge faster, but they are heavier, more expensive, and may require to be plugged into a high powered charger in order to obtain the faster charge.
This power bank is inexpensive for what you get. One very nice thing is that this charges through C to C, C to lightening, and not just USB-A.
I do think the shipping took a couple of extra days versus 1 day, but this was disclosed when I bought it.
It did arrive on the day promised.
I highly recommend this power bank for anyone that needs more than a daily phone charge. Great for traveling, long airplane flights.
For a daily phone charge get the Anker with 10,000mAh and C to C charging (in and out).
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2025Number of Items: 1Verified PurchaseFunctions well, perfect size. I have 2 of these and they recharge quickly, charge devices fast, and have a very reasonable use capacity.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2025Number of Items: 1Verified PurchaseI’ve never seen this power bank run out, ever. This has gotten through multiple charges of multiple simultaneous devices at music festivals and such, and just keeps going. Even after months of non-use when I totally expect it to have died, it stays fully charged and ready to go. Due to its slim size it fits easily in a backpack or fanny pack, and while it’s a bit chunky for a pants pocket it’ll fit there in a pinch too. It also feels very durable and well-made.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2024Number of Items: 1Verified PurchaseThis is a great battery charger to take on trips. I went to Sweden last year for almost a month and this charger was solid the whole time I was there. When traveling from place to place where an outlet wasn't available, I always used this to fully charge or top off my phone (Galaxy S20). It worked well in my smart bag and the form factor fit perfectly in one of the pockets. It stays charged when it's not in use, unlike a lot of other battery packs I've tried, which is a bonus! If you're on the go and need to stay charged up, I highly recommend this battery pack! Lightweight (not much heavier than a modern smartphone!), compact and small enough to tuck away in a small bag.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2025Number of Items: 2Verified PurchaseThe product is exactly as described. It is kind of heavy and takes a while to charge, which happens for products that hold a lot of charge. It is absolutely terrific and a bargain price. The only thing that would make it better is a digital meter indicating how much charge is left. It has four little lights indicating full to no charge. It works, but that would be it if you make it better.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2023Number of Items: 1Verified PurchaseBeing on my phone all the time due to work this battery pack really help with traveling and I don;t have to frantically look for an outlet to recharge my phone. It last a long time before I have to recharge the battery pack again. It is lightweight so traveling with it is a breeze. My main concern is that the battery pack does get hot and I hope it not serious enough to damage my phone. Another thing is that it takes about 5hr to recharge which is fine if I charge it overnight. Otherwise everything work pretty decent except for the heat emitting from the pack.
UPDATE: upgrading to an extra star for excellent customer support. This was originally 3 stars but upgrading to 4 stars. Customer rep reached out to give some options making things right for the battery pack not meeting expectation. Thank you for assisting me in this issue.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2025Number of Items: 1Verified PurchaseI cannot recommend this product highly enough. I bought this and another, larger capacity charger for a trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro. I intended to use this as a backup, but on night 2, my larger capacity charger drained 100% when it dipped below freezing. I counted on these chargers to keep my watch, phone, headlamp, and DSLR batteries charged for 8 days. I thought my trip was ruined, but my Anker charger was a BEAST - keeping enough of a charge through multiple sub freezing nights and even a sub zero summit to keep my devices charged the whole time. I was blown away and having put this guy through an extreme test would without hesitation recommend it!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2024Number of Items: 1Verified PurchaseLots of power, sturdy construction but heavier than expected. Only 2 charge ports but what are the chances you’d need more than that at once! Works great and comes with a breathable carrying pouch
