Both USB-C ports on this powerbank are actually bi-directional, meaning the built in port can be used to charge the powerbank as well as charge your devices. The same goes with the other USB-C port, if for some reason you wanted to adapt it to charge another device. They both support the same 22.5W output and 18W input, and as the fine print on the back of the powerbank shows, with both ports in use, the combined output is 18W (5V 3.6A)
Thank you. I was too scared to plug it in. I knew the plug in port was bi directional but i didnt know the usbc part was as well and was scared to plug it in and blow it up.
I've seen some people say that even though it says it is a 5,000mah battery capacity it's actually closer to 3,500 mah. Have you had any issues with capacity or has anyone else here noticed that? I'm interested in buying this power bank you see.
At the end of the day, how much of a charge my phone gets… is all that matters to me. And I tested just that!! th-cam.com/video/gzoMRNHZtCk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0qYrD5jQi0GGekj9
great device, and just what i'm looking for when traveling. Hooking up to an external power bank in your pocket with a cable dangling is very uncomfortable. My only concern is that it does not put stress on the USB-C port due to the extra weight.
Alright so I got this one for myself a couple of weeks ago and took it with me on vacation to Britain. Not having to deal with a cable, but notably still having a physical connection (looking at you Magsafe) is such a underrated perk of this thing. It's not the biggest powerbank or even the biggest one you could get for this money. But still, you get the convenience, all positives that come with the brand and it's not like 5000 mAh is small. It has made my S23 Ultra last a whole day of very heavy usage. I'm still a bit iffy about the wear on the port but Anker surely tested this thing and are confident enough that it'll last.
@@MagR-c6q I recently bought one and love it. 90 mins for a full charge, that same full charge also last about 90 minutes too. It could be longer but it is a game changer due to the size. If you travel or fly it's possible you could need a bigger power bank with a cord but quick trips it is clutch
This video is inspiring me to mod the Nitecore NB10000 I already have to make it cable-less! I would love to have one of these, but I can't justify the purchase unfortunately. Loved the video!
I ended up getting this exact Anker a couple weeks ago in black. So far I like it it looks nice I like the foldable usb c attachment and from a full charge it charges my dead Oneplus 9 phone to around 68% to 75% which is pretty good I also have a Blue I walk that looks very similar to the Anker but has a small digital battery meter that tells you exactly how much is left from 100% all the way to 0% compared the anker that only has the 4 white dots i do hope anker can make a digital remaining battery reader instead of the dots on the next version of this but I still like my new Anker I’m bringing it on my plane trip to Hawaii I’m sure it’ll come in handy on the plane. Overall my rating is 8/10 if they do a version with a digital read out of tensing battery it’ll be 10/10 can’t wait to see the next version of this already good charger
@@FerizoliYT personally the Iwalk because of the digital display it's cool how they were able to fit one in on such a small charger and it seems to work good similar to the Anker it won't charge your phone more than once and probably only give you around 70 or 80% depending on your current phone percentage but I like it. I had mine for over a year and it's still working pretty good
I like this Anker Nano power bank but it has one on-the-go weakness… it depends on a wall outlet to recharge, a larger 12-27K Anker power bank cannot charge this little guy. Debating on returning it now. 😢
I just picked up one of these and like it so far. I am concerned about the expensive USB-C port on my iPhone wiggling loose is anyone else concerned about this?
Awesome review. Been looking for a charger for my Pixel 7 Pro for days now. I have magsafe cases, but I do prefer wired because of the heat. I am looking towards getting this baby, but I'm a bit worried about if and how it could affect the charging port on my Pixel. Being about half as heavy as the 7 Pro, is there any concern it might affect the charging port of the phone with heavy use?? I am also looking towards the Baseus 10.000mah charger but I'll post my question about that one in your other video review :)
Really sorry to asking. So if we say that the build in port is broken. Can i charge using a cable at the side port?? Or the port is only for charging not for the output??
That App Ampere aint correct for PD charging, i.e it was showing some 3.6 ampere but at what voltage, it cant be 9V or 12V right nor 5V coz charger is PD type. I felt so while using in my 120W MI phone
If this can technically fast charge an iPhone at 9v 2.2 then why can’t it do the usually “50% in 30 minutes” like other PD chargers? I tested it and in 30 minutes the most I get is 40% in 30 minutes with my base iPhone 15

I love brands that write the amount after energy loss from 5000 you get 2600 and that is good and honest.

Great review!. I hopr you can work on improving the camera focus issues as it can easily cause a headache
Great video! I have a question. How long does it take to charge the power bank itself from 0 to 100%?
that's a good question. it charges at about 18 watts. so it only takes about an hour.

Or the port is only for charging not for the output??
If it's powerbank with lighting plug (iPhone port) - you can not.
If it's powerbank with type-c plug - you can.
You are abscessed with power banks 🤣🤣
Maybe. I need Anker anonymous.

Any idea how to reset the a1645? My item doesn’t get a connection to my iPhone. But all 4 LEDs are on.
Quick question does this device turn off by itself when u done using it.
Can I use the USBC socket which you charge it through to charge an iPhone 14?
@@buzonperiodista you need an anker 30w PD charger and an anker type c to type c cable.

So it half charged your i pad 6 mini with with a full charge
Yes!
Is that good ?
how warm is the phone when it's charge using the power bank?
USB C is not designed to carry anything like this. It is enough to move in one direction with a certain force and the port is damaged.
Will these work well with a phone case? The one I have isn't that thick, but it wouldn't shock me if it is an issue.
It should!

How safe is it for the phone's USB port? It looks like it might act as a lever and break the USB port of the phone.
Been using for 4 months. No problems so far. Its quiet sturdy and so is the port on my s21 ultra
can i charge my iphone 11 on the lightning connector ? or does it only go down to iphone 12?
Thanks
No problem
Wait, so it wont fast charge in samsung?
