Not great for laptops (you will be better will something with more than 26000mAh
PROS: universal compatibility for cables and also also for devices, easy to see if you have enough charge left (each dot seems to represent 1 full charge for the phone). able to charge more than one device at once. My pixel is able to charge 5 times fully with this, and I can also charge my garmin in reach mini, It charges devices really fast (20 min), reliable, durable, hard exterior wont break easy. able to be charged in the car.
CONS: it is heavy/bulky, bigger/longer than a phone. To recharge it fully again, it takes a whole night, so you have to plan ahead
even with it being heavier, i still prefer to carry this one over the lighter one, even for day hikes
It has been 20 months of being a great charger and now all of a sudden doesn’t work. I’ve “reset” it and done everything else I can find online to try to fix it but no luck and sadly the warranty was 18 months. Unfortunate it didn’t last 2 years.
The charging brick for the powecore essential 20000 I got in the package would not charge it, even after trying multiple outlets and ensured the cable was connected properly. I then tried using the charging brick with my iPhone and it charged just fine but for some reason it just would not charge the powercore it came with in the order.
I reached out to Anker and I got a response within hours. Two emails later and they agreed to send another charging brick to have my issue resolved. After receiving the new charging brick everything works as it should now. Even though both the Anker iQ charging bricks look exactly the same, the older one just won't charge the powercore. This little charging brick is really something for it's size, easily fits into your pocket or purse and it provides really quick charging. it charges my iPhone XR alot faster that the regular adapter and my iPad the same as the 18W adapter it came with which is alot bigger.
Key things to note:
- The adapter is only USB Type-C supported, Your old charging cables wont work with it
- The powercore can charge 2 items the same time (1 USB type-C and the regular Type-A)
- The charging speed of the powercore is exceptional, just as you would get a charge from the wall outlet.
On top of that…it comes with everything you need to charge your phone. It comes with the charging cord for the wall and the device. Everything you need to charge you phone was included. Thank you! A+
Update 11/24/20: The first replacement behaved the same. Worked well for a few weeks, but then started cycling on and off. Probably not good for my phone's battery to start and stop like that so much.
Anker reached out again asking for info about what phone I was using and more details. I have 2 Samsung S10's that behaved the same way. Didn't matter which charging port I used.
I took them up on an offer to send me their 30w version. It is skinnier than this one, but basically works the same. It's nice that it does charge in half the time. It's been just about 3 weeks now and I haven't that problem come up yet. Updating from 2 Stars to 4 Stars because of very proactive customer service! This is the first time that I've ever had problems with an Anker product. If I don't update this again, it means that the 30w version continues to work well for my S10's.
