That’s why I decided to get this power bank, as I’ve had enough of my phone always having little to no battery whenever I need to use it the most. And I’ve got to say, this little power bank has exceeded my expectations!First, I’ll start by clearing some of the negative reviews. The “remaining time” on the screen is indicating how long the internal battery of the power bank will take to drain or charge fully, it doesn’t show the amount of time until your device is fully charged. Also, some people are getting caught by the labels on the back reading “5000mah”, but if you look next to it, it says 2 pieces which means 2x 5000mah cells. The reason why Anker haven’t put 10000mah on the back of the battery is because the two cells are in series instead of parallel.With that out of the way, it’s time for my review.I love this power bank. A lot. I don’t regret buying it one bit, and I take it everywhere with me. The 10000mah capacity is also more than enough for me, as I only use it to charge my iPhone 12 Pro or sometimes the Samsung S10+. It does get a little warm whilst charging, but I think that’s natural for a power bank. When I charge the iPhone and the Samsung at the same time, it disables the fast charging and goes down to 5v, but it’s still super fast! However, it does get a bit warm. It charges my iPhone rapidly, as fast as the anker 65w plug! It gets me from 25% to 70% in around 25 minutes, and the power bank would still have enough to charge my phone 2 more times. On the samsung, it shows Fast charging, and on a more recent samsung (I tested the s21+) it shows super fast charging, so the 30w power is more than enough for me. It couldn’t charge my dell Inspiron however, as it kept charging then stopping, but I don’t think it should be used as a power bank for laptops anyway.Now let’s talk about the size! When I unboxed it, I couldn’t believe how small it actually was! It’s very small and compact, which makes it really easy to slip in your pocket. I still can’t get over how small it is, especially for 10000mah.Now the charging speeds. In one of the pictures, you can see that the power bank charges at a rate of around 22 watts (using the anker 65w), and it estimates the amount of time until it is fully topped up at that current charge rate. This thing charges up super fast, which is really handy for me whenever I need to use it.Overall I really love this thing. Anker have really impressed me with this power bank. 5 stars from me!Edit: Unfortunately whilst trying to charge my phone, the power bank failed after 2 months of use. However, this is my fault on my part as later I discovered that the phone's charging port is shorted. I won't decrease the rating as it has served me good and is very high quality, but it doesn't seem to offer short circuit protection. I have contacted Anker support about this issue and hopefully I can get this issue resolved.Edit 2: I’m happy to say that the customer service from anker was absolutely phenomenal. They helped me resolve my issue and issued me another power bank of the same exact model. The new power bank works just like my old one did, i am super happy with the customer service with anker. 5 stars all the wayEdit 3: I actually found out that this little power bank was able to charge my ASUS tuf dash f16 laptop at around 30-31 watts. It is quite a tough little guy! However, judging by the display, it’ll last for around an hour, which definitely won’t be enough to fully charge a laptop. I would only use it in case of emergencies, but nice to know that it works. And as for the aforementioned dell inspiron, it charges that too when it is fully shut down at a rate of 33 watts. However it does get quite warm, which is expected.

I have been really impressed with the anker powerbank and it has literally been a life saver on many occasions it charges well and fully charged on the mains in about an hour or so and we have charged two iPhones, one iPad and earbuds to maintain full chargeIt works fine and the display is easy to understand and shows output and time to charge/emptyGreat build quality and Bolo did great storage pouch to fit its portable and easy to store in a coat or bagI highly recommend this item

4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly great, but one big flaw.

E. · 4 November 2023

First of all the build quality seems very nice, the device feels sturdy and solid.The screen is a really nice touch and gives you an idea of how long the battery will last when charging another device given its current output.When being used to charge another device it charges them quickly and without fuss.The only bad thing is that when re-charging the pack itself it is painfully slow. I can’t see an advertised re-charge rate but it is not high. I am using an Anker 100W charger to supply it which charges my other devices quickly no problem so I don’t know why this one is so slow. If the battery back drops down to less than 10% I’d allow a solid 7-9 hours to allow it to recharge.All in all I still very much enjoy this product and the size is very convenient given its capacity and I can live with the slow recharge times as I don’t need to use the pack daily so, for me, it’s not a big issue but I can understand this being a problem for others who use battery packs daily.

Tolle Anker PowerBank

Die PowerBank kommt gut und zudem auch noch schön verpackt in einem kleinem Beutel an.Sie läd mit dem richtigen Ladekabel schnell auf, und kann alle meine Geräte schnell wieder aufladen. Egal ob iPhone, iPad, oder das MacBook. Alles was unterwegs mal leer gehen kann wird in kurzer Zeit wieder geladen. Die Kapazität reicht für ca. 2,5 Akku Ladungen ( getestet mit dem iPhone 16 Pro Max ).Zudem ist Sie sehr kompakt, und nimmt nicht viel Platz weg. Zur Not geht’s auch mal in die Hosentasche.Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Works great - get the one without the cable

Works great.Make sure you get the one without the attached cable.

Fast, perfect and smart

Fast, perfect and smart

Meets its specs, seems to be compatible with all low-to-medium current devices

D. · 22 June 2025

Been using this for about a year now. It delivers enough current to charge my iPhone 13 pro quickly and completely. All the other doodads (headphones, airpods, headlamps, tape player, etc.) also charge readily, with no issues. Power bank capacity appears to be as specified and it can be run down to about zero before it fails to charge as specified. No problems with recharge, either. Compact size and comes in a mesh bag that's roomy enough to hold some short charge cords and adapters.

Just not that good

Thought I’d try it for fast charging. Haven’t seen that potential at all. It’s heavier than the nitecore 10,000 and in my opinion not as good. Sometimes it switches off prior to fully charging phone. Looks cool but I won’t get another one.
