Q: How do I charge the Anker battery?

A: It comes with a short USB-C to USB-C cord which can be plugged in to a UBC-C charging block (not included). You may also use a USB-A to USB-C cord with a USB-A charging block, but I believe this will greatly increase the time to get the battery to a full charge. My understanding is that the USB-A port on the battery itself is output only and can't be used to charge the battery.

Q: When fully charged, how many times will this likely be able to charge a Samsung Galaxy S21 before needing a recharge?

A: We would firstly let you know that the battery is able to supply 60%-70% power to other devices. Approximately 30-40% of the battery capacity is unable to be used because of efficiency problems that affect all electronics devices. These include power lost from circuit heat and voltage conversions from the battery, the charging cable and your device. To calculate roughly how many times the battery should charge your device you can use this formula: Capacity of the PowerCore*0.6~0.7) / Capacity of your device = Number of possible charges 20000 mAh * 0.6~0.7 /4000 mAh (Samsung Galaxy S21) = 300% to 350% From your description, this battery can charge 3 times to your Samsung Galaxy S21

Q: can this charge a laptop? i

A: Sorry, it can't. Compatible with iPhone 11/12/12Mini/12 Pro/12Max Pro/XS / XS Max / XR, Android smartphones and tablets (including the Nexus 7), and other USB devices. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us via [email protected] or call us at +1 (800) 988 7973.

Q: 2 questions, 1st is can I use my MacBook Pro 96W brick via USB-C to USB-C to recharge this device? 2nd, Can this device charge from both the USB & the USB-C port? My cords are USB-C (In) so that would be great to use both to ports to recharge my stuff.Thx

A: 1. The input of the battery is 5V ⎓ 3A / 9V ⎓ 2A / 15V ⎓ 1.2A, if your brick can charge 15W/18W, you can use it. 2. You can charge the battery from the PD port, charge other devices from PIQ and PD port.

Q: What is the green light on my charging block and why don't it fully charge

A: it does fully charge and the green light means that it’s charging your device 2x the normal speed

Q: have this charger. can i use my phone or ipad while they are charging?

A: Yes, just can’t charge the brick and a device at the same time.

Q: What charger works best for this

A: Any USB-C plug would work.

Q: What charger should I use for this seeing it doesn’t come with one

A: You can use model A2321, A2626,A2625(The link:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GWQ2GJC). If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us via [email protected] or call us at +1 (800) 988 7973.
