Current Events > Powerbanks have come a long way

(+) Yeah! (+)

The one I got the other week charges my phone from flat in an hour and a half, will provide it 10 complete charges without needing recharged itself, weighs about 300grams, is compatible with nearly any device and cost 35.

Makes me salty about the piece of shit I paid 100 for a number of years back.

Makes me think of how crappy those $1000 bluray players were.

So have power bottoms, got one the other day, met every stroke with torque and grip, only cost $56

Anker Powercore Essential. It's just gone on sale, damnit.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07SQ5MQ6K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The fact it's come down in price might mean there's a newer model, though.

thnx.

I was actually looking to buy the Anker Powercore 20100. I have no idea what the difference is apart from the 100mAh. According to description on the phones it lists for example, it seems like yours is newer.

Look for specs like Qualcomm and PD. There are various technologies that allow for fast charging, that is one of them.

I actually returned a previous Anker powerbank like a few days earlier because I realised too late that I had bought a powerbank that didn't allow fast charging. Which is a pretty big deal and was only 4 more expensive in the end.

Also looking at that, I can see the input/outputs are different.

Mine has one IQ and one PD port, both are input/output. Yours has two output ports and one input port.

---

Ah ok, well i dont need that many ports. And yours look cooler and cheaper so i'll get that. Thanks for the heads-up and link.

It's actually the same amount of useable ports, just condensed so that the input and output ports aren't taking up seperate real estate.

Your one:
2 output, 1 seperate input

My one
2 output, 1 of those is also an input (it may be both actually, I haven't tested)

Decided to bite the bullet and buy one.

Goddamn what kind of spending did this topic inspire, lol

I'm gonna need to know the capacity of the power bank and the model of your phone before I believe 10 complete charges.

• Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 PD Power Bank, 20000mAh USB-C Power Bank with 18W Power Delivery

Tbh it might be complete bullshit, but so far I was able to charge my phone 3 times and my switch once before it went down to 3/4 lights (I assume 75%ish battery)
