Questions about Anker PowerCore

A normal USB cable is enough for me. Charging takes a while, though. But that also depends on the charger.

Yes, with a QuickCharge 3.0 capable powerbank, Samsung smartphones / tablets are charged quickly, i.e. with my S8, "fast charging" is used when charging with the powerbank, as is also the case with the original charging adapter from Samsung.

We already have the Slim version in our range. Anker PowerCore II Slim (10000mAh, PowerIQ) If we find a supplier for the other version, we will be happy to include it.

I can't charge my Thinkpad X1 Carbon with it. I don't know what is meant by "large devices" in the description. The battery is very good for mobile phones. After 5 charges, the battery is still 75% full.

Unfortunately not at the moment - but the delivery date is being clarified with the supplier and will be updated here in real time.

This is possible in principle, although it does not really make sense. When charging with electricity, I don't see why two systems should not be charged in parallel instead of being connected in series. If the power battery is charged via a solar module, there is definitely not enough time for simultaneous charging/discharging, even with very good solar modules.

Yes, it automatically starts charging as soon as you plug in a device. What looks like a power button in the images is only a button to press in order to find out how much battery is left (reveal how many of the four LEDs will light up).

The powerbank is very handy and therefore certainly fits in a handbag. the iphone xs has approx. 2700 mAh, i.e. you can certainly charge it fully 7 times.

This depends on your airline and the capacity allowed. Capacity of this product = 72Wh

sorry I don't know but it's a great thing

yes, you can. yes, you need an iphone charging cable (only a micro usb cable is supplied, which does not work on the iphone). a powerbank is a powerbank. this one is perhaps a bit oversized for an iphone, but the capacity is sufficient to fully charge your iphone 6 11 times.

Since the MacBook has a 61W wall charger it might not be possible, but we don’t have a USB A to USB C cable, so can’t test this. iPad/iPhone chargers are maximally 12W, so it ‘might’ be OK for a single charge at most. I would contact the manufacturer first.

Yes, that is possible.

Yes, this works or should charge just as fast as your original charger. Enclosed is the data sheet/instructions: https://static.digitecgalaxus.ch/Files/8/4/6/4/6/6/1/A1272_SM-A374-V02_manual_20160628_52X74mm_Outline.pdf

The power bank has 4 blue LEDs. When they all light up a lot, it is fully charged. I need about 10 hours for mine. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. When I need to recharge it, which hasn't happened very often, I usually plug it in in the evening and it's full by mid-morning.

Yes, you can. Unfortunately, you can't use Quick Charge 3.0 because iPhones don't have a Qualcom processor. You should be able to get 5-6 battery charges.

IQ charges 6-9V a 2A and Quick Charge with 5V 3A. But both charge at around 18W. It is best to connect the device to the side that supports it.

In short: Yes, but not as fast as other mobile phones. Reason: Apple does not support any of the patented fast charging methods that the Powercore offers. (Quick Charge 3.0 or PowerIQ). Nevertheless, the devices can access the conventional current output of 5-6V/3A or 6-9V/2A aka approx. 18W and thus be charged faster than with the standard charger that Apple supplies with the iPhone / iPad. This only supplies 5W.

The supplier has informed us that the manufacturer has not yet been able to carry out all the necessary tests. However, we are interested in this ourselves and want to test it ourselves. Unfortunately, we don't have a TPCAST in the office yet... But as soon as we get one, we will check this.
