Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the PowerCore Portable Charger's impressive battery life, convenient USB-C and USB-A ports, and its portability, making it ideal for travel. However, some users find the charger to be somewhat large and heavy. The charger's wattage output was also noted as a potential area for improvement by some customers. Overall, the positive feedback on battery life, connectivity, and portability outweighs concerns about size and weight.

    This has ended up being a godsend! A brick with a built in plug and 2 USB ports!!! I don't travel without it. And the battery life is amazing, it lasts a long time. Also, I thought I would never make use of the charger it came with, but it was perfect when I was traveling in another country and my adapter didn't work. I could charge this it in the one USB port in the hotel room while charger other devices on the brick. Totally recommend.

    This is my second Anker portable battery bank and I remain a huge fan of their products! Although this specific product is a little on the large size, it makes up for that with its features. I am able to get multiple charges on my iPhone and Nintendo Switch with one charge. The pass through USB ports are a nice addition for when the bank is charging itself. The only con I can think of is that the bank is a little on the heavy side. I have older wall outlets and it like to pull away from the wall when charging. Obviously this isn't an issue at all if you plug it into a power strip or charge it via USB.

    I bought this with the intent of using it as a portable psu for raspberry pis, which it works very well as, but I will undoubtedly be using this as a backup battery for a number of other devices. It really holds a charge and it can work as a wall charger as well as charging itself while providing power for whatever you plug into it. I've still gotta get usb to usb c cable just to test if it will fast charge my pixel. Either way it's an affordable and versatile charging pack.

    This portable battery works fantastic at extending battery life. It allows has a usb a port so you can charge two devices when pulled into an outlet. I used it to extend battery life on an iPhone while using GPS. Very worth the purchase.

    This is a fantastically useful thing. For not much more than the price of a standard wall charger, you get something that also has a built-in battery pack with enough juice to top up your phone on the go when you're away from an outlet. It's worked great for me.

    Used it on a short trip, so nothing to say for its long-term charging; however, it is a great charger. Plus, it has its functionality as a stand-alone battery when no power plug is available.

    I bought this thinking it would be useful for travel in the future. However, we just had a power outage in our neighborhood a couple weeks ago and this puppy came in handy. I unplugged it and gave it to my wife to use, she thought I was nuts! Was able to give her phone a full recharge and still had some juice left in it!

    Got this as a replacement charging block and am very happy with it. It’s about the same size as the block I was replacing, but will give your phone about 1 full charge. You can then just plug it in to recharge don’t have to use another cord
