Anker Power Bank, One of the Smallest and Lightest 10000mAh External Batteries, Ultra-Compact, High-speed Charging Technology Portable Charger for iPhone 15/14/13 Series, Samsung Galaxy and More

I've had this for 6 years, going 2 years without using it and it still holding a charge.Charges fast, only downside is the single usb port, but it serves my need as a portable phone chargers perfectly. Also works with a Nintendo Switch, Samsung Tab S7+ as well as an Oculus Quest 2 and an assortment of things like earbuds, headphones without issues and pretty fast!The battery takes a while to charge, but clearly the slow charging in the long run helps to preserve the integrity and health and 6 years for my £24 when I bought in July 2016.The price has since increased 37% to £33 in August 2022, but I would say it's still worth the price despite the increase.It's compact and the cables are high quality. The mesh bag I got has held up and looks like new.Thoroughly recommend.

Perhaps I should have read the reviews in a bit more detail. The description, one of the smallest and Lightest 10000mAh external batteries, ultra-compact swayed me. Thinking it would be ideal for the Missus to put in her handbag to take on holiday I opted for this model having spent days trawling through and reading about the competition.Good points. Its reasonably fast at charging and looks well made. Its got a decent 18 month warranty. It does not have a usb c connection so I am guessing the design is a tad dated but not a biggie but just remember not to forget your charging cable.Portability, well its not exactly made for a handbag or manbag. Weighing in at 187g on the scales just now its the same weight as most mobiles so if your carrying both you will certainly know it. If you happen to have a Samsung Galaxy Ultra at 225g you are not going to hike this combination around for long. So its into the backpack, satchel, shopping bag, glove compartment for this beauty.So initial impressions are thats its a good charger but "lightweight" needs to be viewed in context.

The Anker Power Bank, touted as one of the smallest and lightest 10000mAh external batteries, delivers exceptional portability and reliable performance. Its compact design fits easily into pockets or bags, making it an ideal companion for travel and daily use. Despite its small size, it offers substantial power capacity, capable of charging most smartphones multiple times. Equipped with fast-charging technology, it ensures quick and efficient charging of devices. The build quality is robust, and safety features like surge protection and short circuit prevention add to its reliability. Overall, this power bank is a perfect blend of convenience, power, and safety.

The power bank is small enough to be carried easily but still provides enough reserve to charge an iPhone or iPad a couple of times. Well worth having and good value.It has a USB A connection for power out, and micro USB for power in, so in that respect is a bit dated. However, it works well with my items.

Had this about five and a half years now. I still love this thing. Never let me down. I use it to keep iPhone topped up. One full Anker can keep my phone juiced up three times.

Firstly, this is simply an excellent power bank. From a full charge, I got three full recharges and a good half to three-quarters again into my 6S.It's very small but does have a little weight to it, although nothing that comes close to feeling uncomfortable at all. It's beautifully packaged and presented, also including a small carrying pouch in the box. The unit didn't generate much heat at all even after hours of constant use, which was a concern I had initially given its small size, and really helps its 'go anywhere' design.The four LEDs on the top show how much power remains in the battery, which could be more specific but serve their purpose perfectly well.It charges quickly enough from a 12W Apple wall charger and its own micro-USB cable (I left it overnight but it was essentially full as I went to bed after a couple of hours of charging prior to that) and charges my iPhone very quickly, the maximum output being 12W just like the Apple charger. This means it should also charge an iPad very quickly too, although you will get fewer recharges as the iPad battery capacity is considerably larger than the iPhone's. I haven't had chance to try this yet but I know what to expect from my 12W Apple wall charger and fully expect this will be the same as the power output is the same across the two chargers.If you use a compatible Android handset, the little Anker will charge it using Qualcomm's latest QuickCharge 3.0 spec for super-quick charging - I don't own one so I can't comment on this personally. I've heard good things though, and it's a good feature if you have it.I've also used it to charge my Nintendo Switch using a USB-A to USB-C cable, where it added around 5 1/2 hours of playtime on Zelda before the Switch fell back to its own battery. It also continually charged the Switch during this time, although not super-quickly.I would like to have maybe seen it include an additional USB port for charging another device simultaneously, but that is nit-picking at this price and would have detrimentally affected its incredible portability - one of the main draws for me as my phone and Switch travel most places with me and it's great to have such an awesome power source that I don't have to think about. I can't recommend it enough, especially at this price. No-brainer for people who regularly travel with their tech.

I bought this back in 2018 and its never failed me. Stores a surprising amount of power and is a great size for small handbags. The only reason I'm considering a new one is because most of my cables are USB-C now so aren't compatible otherwise I wouldn't even be thinking about it as 7 years on it charges my much newer phone just as well, quickly and as many times as it did when I first got it.

We purchased two of these for a camping trip along with a theoretically much larger (26800mAH) solar battery pack. They all weighed about the same, and in terms of performance they all charged our phones about 1.5 times. This is about right for the 10000mAH Anker, but not good for the bigger pack.These seem pretty rugged and worked well, no silly built in lights or afterthought solar panels. And they are pretty cheap. Well worth getting.
