Anker PowerCore 20100 - Ultra High Capacity Power Bank with Most Powerful 4.8A Output, PowerIQ Technology for iPhone, iPad and Samsung Galaxy and More (Black)

I bought this to keep my various electronic gadgets (phone, camera, ipod etc) going on various camping trips I have planned over the summer, where I'll be without electricity for a fair amount of time. Suffice to say, I'm very pleased with what I received. Price when reviewed: £23. CAPACITY and CHARGING The main feature that stands out with this product is its capacity. At 20000mAhs, its enough to fully charge most smart phones at least half a dozen times, if not more, which is far more than other battery packs I could find for a similar price (£23). When I tried it myself, I was able to charge my power hungry Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini every day for well over a week, so I'm confident that it won't run out whilst I'm out camping. Devices charged from this do so surprisingly quickly, in some cases just as fast as when I was charging from the mains (their fast charging technology (PowerIQ) obviously does the trick)! The device itself however takes about 10 hours to charge via USB using a standard microUSB to USB cable (which is supplied), which admittedly is quite a while, but worth it considering how much charge this product can hold. A series of four blue LEDs show how 'full' the charger is, and can be activated by pressing a button on the side of the product. These are permanently on when charging however, which can be distracting if charging devices when trying to get to sleep as they are quite bright! BUILD QUALITY This charger has a really good build quality, and feels very solid and sturdy, far from the cheap plasticy feel than other battery packs at around this price range. I'm very glad about this as, due to their portable nature, is likely to get bashed around quite a bit, so having a strong device like this is very important. Furthermore, being from a reputable brand like Anker, you know the electronics will be of good quality, and very unlikely to fail and catch fire, which some cheap chargers have a habit of doing! It is quite bulky however and a tad on the heavy side (at 350g), though this is to be expected for a large capacity model. EXTRAS Along with the device itself, the product came with a neat drawstring fabric bag to hold it in (see picture attached - useful for when going on long journeys as you can store all your charging cables in this), along with a microUSB to USB cable which can be used to charge the device itself, or charge compatible devices from the battery pack. Overall a very good product, especially at the price I got it for £23: Would highly recommend.

The best portable charger ever. Comes in a nicely packaged with a USB Charger and a carry case which is also good quality. Working better than stated. Charges extremely fast and lasts for many charges. I charge my Samsung S7 edge, along with my iPad and my e cigarette while out and about. And it still has lots of charge left in it. It charges my Samsung S7 Edge from 0% to full within an hour and 10 mins, unbelievably fast. The build quality is brilliant. Solid and durable, designed to take a few niks and bangs. You realise the quality of this power bank when holding it in your hand and feel the weight of it. The customer service is fantastic and beats any other company hands down. I would recommend Anker to everyone. If you want quality at a great price then look no further you will not no be disappointed. If you have any problem Anker will sort it out for you in no time. Anker is extremely customer focused and is all about 100% customer satisfaction. I had a problem with my first charger and within a couple of Emails to and from Sharon in the customer care team, it was all sorted without any fuss or stress. This charger will charge your gadgets, iPads, phones, laptops and much more with ease and extremely fast as well. I am shocked at how fast it charges my gadgets. It's the real deal do not waste money on flimsy portable chargers which will probably give you half a charge. I've learned the hard way after buying many cheap power banks in the past and i am glad i finally have a charger that meets my needs and more. Anker = No1 ...

I’ve been a fan of Anker products for a while now and they’re my first choice brand. Excellent quality products and value for money and backed up with first class after service for peace of mind. Simple yet robust. It charges my devices quickly and is more than enough for me to use out and about for a number of days. I don’t stress out anymore with this by my side. It’s not the fastest in charging up but understand it’s better for product longetivity. Fine by me and just plug it in overnight and good to go by AM. What sets Anker apart is the after service if anything goes wrong. I’ve seen it reported by other people and I got to experience it recently. I had found the micro USB connection for power input always a tad loose from the beginning. I let it go as I could get by. Then it reached a point where it was difficult getting a secure connection. I sent Anker an email with a description of the problem. Initially I asked for just a new cable because a different cable did help make it better and I didn’t want to get into a bun fight. Anker asked me a few questions to ascertain root cause and concluded the port was faulty and sent me out a brand new powerbank very quickly! Wow! Am very impressed. A company that didn’t just do the bare minimum but wanted my compete satisfaction. You’ve certainly got that. Well done and thanks again Anker! Update: 7 June 2019 I bought the original back in July 2018. A replacement as per above was sent to me due to Micro USB port being faulty. Gave great service and the unfortunately the replacement developed a fault when whilst charging it would stop after a few minutes. Contact led Anker and again they responded quickly and sent me out a new one with no quibble and very quickly. They were naturally disappointed that I had to contact them again and I accept that it is rare occurrence. Very happy with the after service of this company and they’ve come through for me again.

This is pretty much a must have for anyone who is out and about for long periods of time and want to keep their phone juiced up. This battery does a great job of charging up my phone and charged it up a lot faster than the previous power bank that I owned. So the first thing I have to mention mainly because it will be the first thing that you'll see, is Anker's packaging. They have some of the best packaging out there that blowed me away when I bought my first product from this company (I think it was a micro USB cable). Their boxes are extremely easy to open, are very nicely laid out and have a distinct look that will instantly let you know that it is an Anker product. In my opinion their product packaging is top notch and is on par with Apple's. Overall the design of the power bank is great. It has only got one button which is used to show how much battery is left in the power bank, via the four LED lights on top of it, and unlike in other power banks that I have used this bank automatically starts charging my device as soon as it is connected. It doesn't require holding a button to power it on or anything like that, it is intelligent enough to do that automatically. As for the feel of the power bank, it is plastic but it definitely doesn't feel cheap at all, it actually feels really premium and well made. I have dropped this product a lot of times and even though it does make for a pretty loud bang it has never got any dents or anything from the drops, so is very durable. This product also includes a travel pouch which is actually really handy because it not only protects the battery back, but also lets me slip the supplied wire into the pouch with it so I won't have to go looking around for a wire when I want to use the portable battery. As for the quality of the pouch, the pouch itself feels great to hold and does provide quite a nice amount of padding for the power bank but my one gripe with it is that the plastic part that is used to tighten the bag (sorry forgot the name for it) isn't that strong and I have had the one on my previous power bank break on me (this is my second one because I thought I lost the first one, after I found it I gave it to my sister and she still uses it up until this day). What I mean by it broke is that the top thin part of the plastic snapped so it was still usable but it obviously wasn't as effective as my current one now which is still in a good condition at the moment. Definitely don't let this put you off though, as long as you look after the pouch as a whole it should last you a long time, and it is definitely not a cheap feeling pouch to say that it was supplied for free alongside the power bank. As for battery life, I haven't counted exactly how many times I was able to charge my phone without charging the power bank but this thing lasts for ages. As for my last charge I think my bank had been used two or so times before I charged my phone yesterday and I was able to charge my phone from being completely dead at 0% to 100% and the power bank is now on three bars (out of 4) so yeah I does last ages and I am sure that I could get around 6 or 7 charges out of it before it would need charging again. Also on the topic of the power LED lights they do actually show through the pouch so if you know where the button is you can check the power without having the take it out of the bag, and the bag closes from the top of the power bank so you can plug wires into the bank and close the bag around them. Overall I am very happy with this battery bank, I would definitely recommend it to anyone that asks for a battery pack and will definitely be buying again from Anker whenever I need another one of these or a wire or something like that. I have already bought one of these for my mum's birthday and my dad bought one for himself when he looking for a new power bank. Note: Anker didn't pay for me to review this product and didn't supply it to me for me, I paid for this product myself and am just a very happy customer.

I have been using this the last 5 months and have found this battery to work quite well compared to other batteries I have owned. There are a few things I would like to point out though. 1. The battery does not charge with a current less than approximately 400 mA. This can be a problem as I tried to use with a solar panel and it refuses to take the majority of the output from it. I contacted Anker about this and despite the fact they sell solar panels, I got a response to the effect 'do not charge it using a solar panel'. if you try to charge off a TV or something, it will likely not work. 2. It will happily draw 2A from a source. Unfortunately, most standard wall USB chargers supplied with phones and other devices cannot handle this and will blow, unless you have a brand new phone with 2A quickcharge. The most reliable source I have used it by charging it directly from a Laptop USB point. Its impressive that it charges so quickly. 3. My my rough (and I mean rough) calculations the actual capacity of the battery is really in the range of 17000-18000 mAh. I used a DROK® Digital Ampere Voltage Multimeter to monitor the current over charging, and it is fully charged after about 9 hours at 1.92 A. This is still epic for the size of the battery. 4. The PowerIQ system seems to do a great job of regulating output when charging. I am often surprised how quickly it charges devices. On my phones it usually outputs around 1.2A. In all, it is still excellent value for money and I will continue to use it on a daily basis.

Up until this purchase, I had been using a tiny "lighter" sized charger that would get me a decent 50% charge. Not bad for what it was at least. But WOW, I'll never go without my connection again. I often travel across the country and despare at the 8% battery I tend to have by 1600-1700. UNBOXING The Anker PowerCore has me impressed all around. It arrives in a stylish box that gives you the impression of quallity and reliability. Inside you will find your power bank, wrapped up in a good quality plastic sleeve you could very well use as a protective sleeve when carrying the bank around with you. Along with that, your instruction manual. Underneath this, you will find a high quality stitched carry bag with a draw-string end to seal the bag up. It's hard to think of why a bag would feel as though it's made to a high quality, but this does. You are also provided with a short USB cable that you can use to both charge the power bank (with a compatible wall socket plug), as well as charge your micro USB devices. POWER BANK The power bank itself has a very good weight to it. It is heavy enough to give you a sense of quality, but light enough that it would not hurt you to keep it in your every day carry bag. The dimensions listed are correct, it sits around the size of a typical TV remote. Again, this is neither too large nor too small. It has a plastic outer case with a solid build to it. The edges are not sharp, and there are no signs of slag around the case. It is all cut precisely. FUNCTIONS It comes with 4 small LED's on top of the case to give you an idea of how much charge you have remaining in the bank. Whilst charging, the 4 LED's will go out to indicate you have reached a full charge. There are 2 USB ports on the furthest end of the bank to allow you to charge multiple devices at once. I do not recommend you charge devices whilst you are also charging the bank. This could lead to overheating and damage to the batteries. BATTERY So far I have got a full 3 charges of my Samsung S7 using the bank, and it is showing no signs of slowing. All in all, I believe I will get 5 full charges. There is not a lot I can say about this, fantastic. I will absolutely be carrying this bank with me in my every day carry from now on. I am half tempted to buy another.

This is my first portable charger, and searching the internet for the best one to get was overwhelming, so many to choose from, and all claiming to be the best! I decided to stick with Anker as their products have always felt like a quality piece of kit, nicely built and the finish is always aesthetically pleasing (verging on sexy!). They come with an 18 month warranty and customer service that’s second to none. The packaging with Anker products is always impressive. It's like opening up some ultra-expensive pressie. Sturdy box, inserts, instructions complete with a little mesh bags and a short quality micro USB cable (you need to purchase a short lightning cable if you have apple products) What is it? It's an external battery that you can use as a portable power source to charge stuff with. It has IQ, which means you don’t have to work out if it’s the right power to not damage your pride and joy. You charge the Anker PowerCore 20100 up from a wall outlet (which I did overnight), and when charged, it contains about as much power as seven or eight modern smartphone batteries. It has two USB output ports into which you can plug cords connected to the stuff (phones, Kindles, tablets, portable speakers, eCig batteries, the wife’s USB chargeable vibrator or whatever) you want to charge. Plug it in, push the button (which also tells you how much charge is left in the power unit by means of 4 blue LEDs) and it will charge your device super-fast, I won’t go into all the tech specs about amps and times etc. as enough people have already covered that. Just know that it charges fast, is reliable, looks good, feels solidly built and worth its weight in gold when needed. If you’re looking for something to stick in your pocket or handbag as an emergency back up for the phone, (in case you get lucky and don’t want to wake up “your new Friend” when you find your phones died and you need to get a cab to get the hell out of there) then this isn't the one, it has a lot of power so is fairly weighty and large, this is more for the weekend/week away where you can stick it in your holdall

Purchased this product before travelling around Sri Lanka with friends for 2 months, and it was possible the best purchase I made before I left. I had previously used a cheaper recharging power unit, which had one or two recharges on an iPhone maximum, and felt like cheap quality plastic too. This on the other hand exceeded my expectations in every department. Design and Build: Whilst it isn't the most sleek of things to look at, it is far from the worst looking device on the market. The device is slightly large but not too big as to be an inconvenience, and can comfortable be carried in a bag. If you were wearing certain trousers you could get away with carrying it in the pockets, however it wouldn't be the most practical of options. The device is solid, very solid. As a result it's quite a heavy product for its size, however its unnoticeable when put in a rucksack. There are two USB ports, which was very practical for when both me and friend would need a device charging, or if like me, you have a tablet and a phone, where both need charging at the same time it is more than capable of doing the job. Charging: I was astounded at how good the charging was on this product. It charges devices faster than plugging them in to the wall socket! Not only this but I was amazed how much use you get out of it before it needs recharging, I think the maximum I got out of it was 9 or 10 charges of an iPhone which was below 5% power each time. In addition to this, plugging in a second device to the other USB port appeared to made no difference in charging speed to either device. Recharging the Anker itself can be quite a lengthy process if it has no power, and I've found it varies how long it takes to recharge. I have found it recharged in under ten hours at times and over 12 at other times, however the majority of the time it was inbetween the two. Conclusion; For the price this product is nothing short of incredible! Especially if your going somewhere where you will be away from an opportunity to charge devices such as a day out, camping, or staying in hostels or hotels where plug sockets may be limited. Due to the massive amount of charging it can do before it runs out of battery, it can easily be shared be friends and family. Highly recommended product, with all things considered such as prices charging ability, and design, it's hard to find a better product on the market at the moment.

Sehr guter Akku mit schneller Ladefunktion und langer Ausdauer. Perfekt für mehrere Ladezyklen geeignet. Gut für den Einsatz für Kleingeräte zur USB-Ladung.

Awesome

Meine Frau besitzt ein IPhone 7, welches bekanntermaßen nicht gerade vor Batterieleistung strotzt. Ich habe ihr aufgrund dessen diese Powerbank gekauft. Zunächst aber aber der Sinn, dass daran ein altes Handy zwecks Raumüberwachung (mit entsprechender App) genutzt werden sollte. Da ich aber nicht sehr zufrieden mit der Überwachung per Handy war, habe ich mich dann doch um entschieden. Nun war natürlich die Powerbank quasi nutzlos, bis meine Frau dann den entsprechenden Einwand hatte und sie nun dies Powerbank nutzt. BESCHREIBUNG: ------------------- Die Powerbank kommt gut verpackt und zusätzlich in einem kleinen schwarzen Stoffsäckchen mit Anschlusskabel daher. Es befindet sich dort noch zusätzlich eine kleine Gebrauchsanleitung, die aber m. E. überflüssig ist. Angeboten wird diese Powerbank in drei verschiedenen Ladekapazitäten. Ich habe mich persönlich für die mit 20100 mAh entschieden, da diese somit länger verschiedene Abnehmer laden kann. Robustheit wird im Artikel beschrieben! Dies kann ich definitiv doppelt und dreifach unterschreiben, denn mir ist dies Powerbank bereits mehrfach herunter gefallen. Es gab bisher keine Aussetzer oder Probleme. FAZIT: ------- Diese Powerbank ist absolut eine TOP-Powerbank. Sie lässt sich über Nacht mit dem entsprechenden Equipment laden und halt sehr lange. Wie bereits erwähnt, nutzt meine Frau ein IPhone 7 und kommt mit dieser Powerbank eine ganze Woche und teilweise mehr über die Runden. Für mich war es ein guter Kauf und ich kann für dies PB eine klare Kaufempfehlung abgeben. HINWEIS: ---------- Diese Rezension spiegelt meine persönliche Erfahrung und Empfindung wieder und erhebt keinesfalls den Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit.

Uso la batería para cargar el móvil, el iPad cuando no estoy en casa, no los carga en poco tiempo pero tampoco considero que en demasiado, las cargas de los equipos siempre llevan un tiempo aun cuando los cargues directo a la corriente, si hay que señalar algo es que pesa, pero hasta ahora muy bien

البطارية فيها مشكلة مش بتتشحن
