Anker Power Bank 26 800 mAh External Battery with Dual Input Port and Double-Speed Recharging 3 USB Ports

So far it’s great. Long life and works just like sated. It is a bit heavy but ability to charge 3 devices at once, fast recharge and amount of time between recharge is well worth it! Still haven’t recharged and I charge 3 device 4-5 times a week from this power bank. Read more

Updated review: Upgrading to five stars after an obviously new replacement item arrived extremely quickly, in a day or two. I think the thing itself is great. It does charge slowly, as many have noted, but seems to hold its charge very well once charged up. (To charge it, I used both cables and left it overnight.) I plugged my phone into it during a drive of 2.5 hours and found once I reached my destination that my phone was charged up to some extent, though not all the way; but again, others have pointed out that this battery will not charge a phone (or whatever) as fast as a wall socket will. It did what I wanted it to, which was make sure I wouldn't find myself in the middle of nowhere with a dead phone, and at the end of the trip, the battery still had four lights lit. (One curious note: My sister bought this same battery--same brand, same 26,800--some time ago and hers is noticeably smaller than mine. You'd think they'd be getting smaller rather than bigger, but maybe it's about preserving the price point or something. So mine is rather large, but not problematically so.) Original one-star review: Paid for a new one, received a used one. The tape that would have been sealing the box closed had already been slit open, and the item itself was scuffed. Read more

SHORT VERSION: It's High Capacity, Well Built, Intelligent IQ Charging, Lasts for Days, 2 option recharge, Three USB Ports and all three output the same! You'll love it! FULL VERSION: Kind of a long one, but just wanted to share my thoughts and usage. Do you need the power storing capacity of a small nuclear reactor in your pocket?? Well, this isn't per se, a nuclear reactor, but it is a high capacity, portable and easy to use power bank. The mesh like pouch included is also very nice! I'm a vaper (9 years and still alive, screw you FDA!) own 5 mods with internal batteries, have a smartwatch and a 4500 mAh phone battery. This power bank charges every single device I have multiple times! It's simply a godsend when you're out and about and don't have time to wait near a wall charger. The smartwatch I have is a gear S3 frontier edition and anyone that owns this watch knows, while charging, it is prone to power throttling because the watch will overheat. It sucks! Even the .5 amp adapter I have will power throttle around 60% because the watch rises above 110°. Well, enter this power bank. This power bank adjusts power with its "smart IQ" (whatever that is, but it works) and charge my watch from 0 to 100 with absolutely no issues whatsoever. What used to be a mundane tasks, having to remove the watch from it's stand, cool it down and/or place fans around it, is now simply is plug-and-play. That's just one example of how well this product works. It has three USB outlets! and unlike other competitors, all three USB outlets on this one are able to output the same. Another competitors power bank I have also has 3 USB outlets, but only one of them is able to provide 2amp charging and the other two are simply 1amp. Recharging this power bank is also amazing. It has two input Micro-USB spots. All you need is a USB wall outlet with two spots & you can plug in two cables to charge it. Given the size capacity of this power bank, that is a much welcomed blessing to have. If I ever need to charge it, I just plug it in before I go to bed and it's done when I wake up. Though, while using it every single day, I only need to charge it once a week! I've also used my built-in meter to fully discharge and recharge to test the mAh capacity. Mine was a total of 26833 mAh when completed. Alittle above the 26800 advertised. If you're looking for a portable, high capacity and well-built durable power bank, this is for you! It took me forever to research the right power bank. There's a lot of companies out there pumping these things out in groves in order to capitalize on the market. Anker is a reputable company known for great quality and great customer service. I've been using this thing now for several months and have no regrets spending my hard-earned money on it. If you're in the market for a high-capacity power bank, I highly highly recommend this! Read more

Original review, Sept 2022: The only thing about this i don't like is that it is about twice as heavy as my phone. Otherwise, it works just fine. ____________ July 2024 The weight is deceptive. It feels heavy when you first get it b/c it's not that big, but I hike and walk long distances and chat or listen to books and so I tend to run out of juice on my phone... so i got into the habit of putting it in my trouser pocket and connecting it to the phone and I really don't notice the weight anymore. This thing can charge multiple devices multiple times. Many times I forget to charge it... and even after several charges and/or running a device on it as I use it for extended periods away from electrical outlets, it still has juice. I've NEVER actually run out of juice. I don't mind that it doesn't have USB C, but if this is a concern of yours, this doesn't have USB C -- but it holds a charge so long and charges so much off a full charge that you won't care. It's reliable... and the capacity is high. It allegedly takes 7 hours to charge if you use both cables but I don't think I've come close to running it all the way down as it never takes that long to fully charge. I never leave home without it. It's either in my bag or in my pocket. More than worth the money. It doesn't heat up at all. Not when charging. Not when in use. 10 stars! Read more
