Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the PowerCore III Elite's impressive battery life and fast USB-C PD charging capabilities. Its high capacity and build quality are also frequently praised, making it a reliable and versatile option. However, some users note that its size and weight may be a drawback for portability. The power bank's compatibility with various devices is another positive aspect frequently highlighted by customers.

    Used once in 3 months and no longer works. Tried to changer multiple times and doesn’t seem to do anything and doesn’t charge anything. Have tried multiple cords and items and nothing works. I have an older model that’s been great for years! Not sure what’s wrong w this one.

    I’ll say it’s large and heavy but I knew that going in. It’s exactly what I wanted and worth it. I charged my Laptop IPhone 14 and Tablet all at the same time NO problem. Multiple charges without recharging. It’s excellent..

    Bought two. Both lasted 2 months (just past the return period) then both failed. Won’t charge. The manufacturer website handles warranty claims only for products bought directly from the manufacturer. Don’t recommend, unless you’re willing to pay the extra $20 each for protection.

      - What model and type of wall charger/AC adapter you are using
