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.

    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.

    I like the Power core fusing plugging into the wall or you use it with the wires without the plug. I like that because it easy to carry for traveling. It is nice to see how much power when plugging the iPhone or iPad.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The portable battery will fully charge either an iPhone or laptop within 1.5 to 2 hours. It has a nice glossy black finish. The power button has an indicator light that will tell you when the charger is fully charged. Nice solid, quality product for the price. The plug also folds into the charger so it doesn't stick out when you are not using it. It can be used either plugged into an electrical outlet or not.

    Excellent charger. I use it for all of my Apple products. Especially for my iPad Pro. I find it charges even quicker than the original Apple USB-C block. I love the portability of it and the plug in / hideaway feature. Got it on DOTD, my only regret is I should’ve bought more!

    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.

    Best Travel Charger ever

    ok this is clutch. I am using it as a travel charger for my Macbook Air M1 2021 model and Samsung S21 Ultra. Both require a powerful brick the computer requires 30w and the other needs 10w for fast charge. So this charger can handle both at the same time. Best of all I did not notice it is also a portable battery. So this charger comes in very handy for travel especially if you have limited space in your backpack. I got it for 55 on clearance so I guess the price was fair especially compared to expensive apple accessories. This is definitely a winning combination and I cant recommend it enough.

    I purchased this because I was tired of not have a fast portable charger (above 10 Watts). I've also got an iPhone 8 Plus so it's a few years old. It can charge from below 10% to above 60% in about 30 minutes. I've also tested it with a completely dead phone and it can get you to 80% in an hour. Overall, for the price & performance it was worth the investment.

    I had purchased this charger in hopes to get an alternative to my standard apple issued MacBook Air charger. I received the product with high hopes and it did not disappoint. I wouldn’t recommend this for MacBook pros (as it takes a while to charge) but for MacBook air’s it works flawlessly. The portable charger addition is also very effective, as well. Overall, without question, 10/10.
