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.

    Excellent 2-in-1 charger!

    It meets or exceeds most personal electronics fast charging requirements. There is a 5000mAh battery in case for when you cannot find outlet. Be certain to get high speed charging cable (~which is not included~) so that you are able to use fastest charge settings. Otherwise it will just be a premium wall charger and battery. ... it is a bit large (*but has 5000mAh battery) just not larger than old wall bricks and is same as wart transformer power supply (30W plugged/15W battery). About 1/2 size ps4 controller and same thickness.

    Nice combination wall plug and portable battery

    I like this combo, because it means I don't have to carry two separate things in my computer bag (wall charger and portable battery). The wall plug for my Pixelbook is already kind of big and bulky, so the size of this Anker charger isn't much different (although it is heavier, owing to the built-in battery). The dual output is another advantage over the Pixelbook charger. Charging is fast, and build quality is typically excellent from Anker.

    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.

    It is a little heavy and bulky for a 5,000mAh battery portable bank. I return it as soon as I get it. It is a nice concept when it comes to a combination of portable bank and wall charger. But, as wall charger, it is too bulky. As a portable bank, it is too heavy for a 5,000mAh capacity.

    Pro and Con

    Pro: Convenient to have a wall charger that is also a portable charger. I leave this plugged in and am therefore always prepared for a power outage. (Note that manufacturer recommends that you discharge and recharge battery periodically.) Cons: Very bulky. And for something this large, it doesn’t hold as much of a charge as one would like—you won’t get two full charges of a device out of it. Comment: Full price is outrageous. Wait for a discount.

    not worth the money at all at 5000 mAh

    5000mAh is really, really small, and I thought 10000mAh was overkill until I looked at my older charger / battery that had 8000mAh. I would return this if I could but it was $13 after some best buy rewards. The larger one is $50 which is also way overpriced (some places charge $70 which is even worse). 11-06-2021

    Efficient Charger, Best for Stationary Use

    I purchased this because Apple no longer provides the charger with their new iphones. The unit charges efficiently, but I found it a little bulky if you want to put it in your pocket to travel with it. The Anker brand is known for superior quality and his product fits that mold.

    Bulky... power stored does not hold out, discharges even without load. I wonder why? I can go just power, forget the power bank if it is this bulky.

    Really bad product. Charges my Samsung s20 ultra 75% using the power bank capability. If plugged in, it is a super dragging charger. Such a huge charger for little performance

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It's unusual for this product to be acting like this, and we'd love to get you what you need!

      If possible, please try the following steps to see if the issue persists:
      - Let the charger sit for 5 min without being plugged into the outlet and without anything plugged into the charger itself. This resets the charger and might solve the issue.
      - Try another cable and a different outlet.
      - Try charging a different device.

      If it doesn’t help, please reach out to us via support@anker.com or call us at +1 (800) 988 7973. We are more than happy to assist you further.

      We offer an 18-month warranty for this product, plus lifetime technical support. Our standard for responding to email quests is less than 24 hours, and we look forward to hearing from you! anker
