Anker Power Bank(PowerCore 10K), Compact Travel-Ready 10,000mAh Battery Pack with PowerIQ Charging Technology, 5V/3A High-Speed Charging for iPhone, iPad,and More (1, Black)

Anker is the only brand our school tech department recommends, so I tend to trust their charging products, and this power bank has been another winner.The 10,000mAh capacity is a great balance between power and portability. It is small enough to toss in a backpack, purse, or carry on without taking up much space, but it has enough juice to keep my devices going when I am away from an outlet.I recently traveled with it and was reminded how nice it is to have a reliable backup battery. It charges devices quickly, holds its charge well, and has been completely dependable.One thing to be aware of: I recently got a new iPhone that uses a USB C charging cable. I grabbed a USB C to USB C cord for this power bank and quickly realized that was not going to work. To use the USB A output on the power bank, I needed a USB A to USB C cable instead. Before you head out on a trip, make sure you have the right cord packed.It also takes a while to fully recharge the power bank itself, so plan ahead if you know you will need it. The upside is that once it is charged, it has enough capacity to charge your phone more than once, which is exactly what I want from a travel power bank.The build quality feels solid, and it is easy to see why Anker has such a good reputation. If you are looking for a compact power bank that is easy to travel with and just works, this is a great choice.

Purchased these for an extended outdoor trip and they worked fine to keep two phones charged. Basically if you are in place without recharge capacity and need to keep your phones charged, put your phone on Airplane and Low Battery Mode as much as possible to reduce usage by draining apps, and if you do that, your phone will last say a day or a bit. One of these will recharge two phones completely (Iphone 12,13 Pro and more recent models) and may have about half a phone charge left. I tried and tested this before the trip and that metric was accurate. As for recharging these chargers, that takes 4-6 hours depending on the speed on your charging wire. Good to have on trips and on the go if no access to electricity or if you are moving about a lot. The interface is a bit simplistic with 4-5 dots (I forget) which light up fully if fully charged. If there is one dot left it means there is about 20-25% of the power left and so on. That's all you will see. This is also light and slim - another plus. Not tested on non-phone devices.

Absolutely great.! I used it throughout Europe and very effective in charging up phone on demand. Small enough to carry in a cross bag.Due to roaming required to get signal while traveling, phone battery drains faster and so the need to have a good charger handy .

Charges phone very fast and has a great battery life Worth the money and will show well it’ll work for me when I travel

I’ve been using this Anker power bank for a while now, and it’s one of those things I don’t think about much—until I really need it. And when I do, it always comes through. It’s compact, easy to toss in a bag, and has enough capacity to give my phone a solid recharge (or two), which is exactly what I was looking for.The biggest strength here is reliability. It consistently charges my devices without any issues, and Anker in general has a reputation for durability and long-lasting performance, which lines up with my experience so far.That said, the charging speed—especially when recharging the power bank itself—can feel a bit slow. It’s not terrible, but it’s noticeable if you’re used to newer fast-charging options. Also, it’s pretty basic in terms of features—no fancy extras, just straightforward charging.Overall, it’s a dependable, no-frills power bank that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It may not be the fastest out there, but when you need backup power, it’s one you can count on.
