    Anker PowerCore 26800 Portable Charger, 26800mAh External Battery Dual Input Port Double-Speed Recharging, 3 USB Ports iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Android Other Smart Devices

    • It is not the cheapest portable charging option around, but it is one of the highest capacities and is made by a reputable company
    • Does not support Fast charge for my samsung galaxy s7 edge
    • It was really quite amazing how quickly all three charged
    • Keep in the car - much faster charging than connecting to the car USB port.
    • Excellent capacity!Fast charging when charging using both inputs!Great look but scratches easily.
    • I use it to power av equipment and slow charge it with one USB plug on the computer when back in the office.
    • I can charge all of my devices over and over no looking through the airports for the best seat or trying to bump that last minute charge.
    • With the technology of fast charging, it should take 2 hours max to charge my phone.
    • Very fast charging.
    • A full charge without usage will drain in two weeks
    • Like many other reviews the unit initially held a charge for devices to charge multiple times
    • The device also holds a full charge a very long time, little to no bleed off, even after a week of not using it
    • Build quality is very good, the charging is fast with the two plugs.
    • It definitely gets warm charging it with the two plugs at once if both plugs are giving it the maximum current it can charge at, but it hasn't been even close to worryingly warm, just worth noting since none of the smaller power ones ever got warm at all
    • Still very fast charges on all
    • Does not hold a charge well , also tends to be fully drained after bieng fully charged and only two of the three USB ports will work .
    • Works as described and even charges my friend's headphones that have the most stubborn charge controller (usually charges to 60% then stops and starts requiring replug)
    • The Welcome Guide doesn’t provide information regarding the initial charge
    • Incredible charging capacity
    • Also has 3 USB ports with fast IQ charging to my iPhone, IPad, and Nintendo switch simultaneously
    • Works amazing slow charge but that's understanding seeing that it can charge my phone 30+ times would strongly recommend for anyone.
    • battery pack has a slow charge unless you buy fast charge cord.
    • Cant really tell that there is a "quick/rapid" charger, but does last quiet a few charges
    • Works great, has charged my phone multiple times i haven't had to recharge it
    • Works great, has charged my phone multiple times i haven't had to recharge it
    • I just wish Anker explained in their description that PowerIQ isn't a competing equally fast charging technology
    • This thing will charge any device you throw at it, but won't do fast, I have a Samsung note 5 and it does not go into fast charge, even though it has IQ charge!UPDATE: 11/28/17Anker customer service contacted me through e-
    • Its only downside is that it doesn't include fast charging but this didn't matter as I would just charge my phone when I was asleep
    • Serious charging capability with the over 2600mah battery it handles all your USB charging needs
    • Not getting the fast charge out of this battery
    • I like the fast charging ports
    • I like the fast charging options.
    • Charges relatively quickly when using both USB inputs (this is a great feature)I think however due to the weight and size of this unit, the sweet spot/balance is the 20000 mAH model which is considerably slimmer and more portable and still packs decent charging capacity.
    • Just be sure you're ok with possibly not getting the fastest charge from this device on your Android.
    • It is rapid charge, Good Quality
    • The charge lasts for a week keeping my phone charged, I have yet to deplete the charge lower than two LEDs out of four for a solid week without charging it.
    • The battery is inside a foam bag which is located on top of a smaller box, that contains the protective meshed pouch with the elastic closure, as well as the charging cables
    • So I am speculating that they do not deliver proper or enough charge to any gadget that needs to be recharged.2.
    • Great unit, multiple fast charges on devices that are very demanding.
    • I especially loved that I could charge it using *both* output ports of an Anker 21W solar panel, for a faster charge
    • After using different ports and different fast charge cables, it is still a slow charge power
    • And this has a fast charging output too -- with my phone & separate Bluetooth speaker beeping low at me, I can plug both into this battery at the same time, and about half an hour later both were back over 70%
    • Both the slow charge and dual Port Quick Charge work flawlessly and as advertised
    • It has yet to lose its charge
    • It doesn't support the adaptive fast charging my S7 is capable of using
    • we had for our 11 yr old to shoot photos with) that may or may not have been impacted by the "smart charging
    • Fast charging for multiple USB devices
    • My cellphone always loses its charge - this is the fix!
    • I know that they have a newer version that supports quick charge
    • I'm usually worried that these batteries charge too slowly, however
    • Did I mention this has fast charging
    • Fast and solid charging my I phone 6s.
    • Very portable and long lasting charges.
    • I recommend to use a dual usb wall charger to from Anker, as it keeps charging times around 6-8 hours
    • Works great keeps charge for long periods of time
    • This is a nice feature of the Anker smart charging products.
    • very slow charge on my galaxy s7 edge
    • Definitely not fast charging.
    • I am a light user (charged once a week).Pros:Great charge capacity when it worked
    • Fast charging, tons of power.
    • the test I did proved that it is awesome; - charged it overnight (note when completely drained it needs to be charged more 10 hrs although I guess it depends on which charger you choose, I used just a regular iPhone charger), once it was fully charged I used it to charge iPhone 6 S plus for about five times and an iPad and still had about 25% charge
    • So don't buy this if you have a Samsung and your phone supports fast charging
    • It says get optimal charging rate for ALL devices, which it does not
    • Very nice as i have had other power banks that claimed to have "intelligent charge sensing" but when measured showed a constant .95A output etc
    • It doesn't support the adaptive fast charging my S7 is capable of using
    • I got this for extended camping trips and times where I travel for work and am without convenient charging access
    • Both the slow charge and dual Port Quick Charge work flawlessly and as advertised
    • High capacity but lacks the amps needed for fast charging
    • I love the fast charge it feature, its super useful
    • After using different ports and different fast charge cables, it is still a slow charge power
    • For anyone wondering it did NOT activate the fast charging on my S7 HOWEVER it charged much faster than any power pack I've used before and faster than some wall charges I have and yes it charged while watching a movie, which a lot can't do in my experience.
    • THE GAME KILLING MY CHARGE FAST
    • DO NOT FAST CHARGE
    • I usually just charge it overnight, but double charging can be a lifesaver if you'll be traveling unexpectedly
    • I loved the output of the ports, and the dual charge ability of the bank so that it tops off even faster.
    • and I trust it for all my portable charging/powering USB needs.
    • Excellent charging capability.
    • Excellent charging capability.
    • Well I tried a different charger and it took a charge but the indicator lights still didn't work
    • all I feel they focus more on the recharging aspect of this product instead of offering more fast charging
    • good and fast charged, but rather heavy.
    • a 10000mah, its got a metal case, the best part is the fast charge.
    • The dual charging makes recharging a breeze, I use a 5 port Anker desktop charger to power up both charging ports and its roughly 7 hours from dead to full, I haven't tried charging it with only one
    • I love the Anker brand charging accessories
    • The battery takes a charge quickly and delivers a charge quickly as well
    • If you don't want to wait that long for whatever reason you could get a samsung fast charging wall plug or the anker version of it
    • I would love to see it adopt similar functions to the newer Aukey portable chargers - USB-C in and out, charge using Apple Lightning connector, and maybe both of them will adopt in-unit wireless charging
    • The smart charge of the anker seems to suggest it will match the appropriate charge level for the Nintendo 2ds Xl.
    • Anker , it's just the best charging solutions
    • great product, several full charges. expect a heavy unit
    • Outstanding charging capabilities, took a week long trip, 4 people charged their phones from it all week
    • battery pack has a slow charge unless you buy fast charge cord.
    • Now, I see there's another 26800 that does fast charging Qualcomm 3.0.
    • Works amazing slow charge but that's understanding seeing that it can charge my phone 30+ times would strongly recommend for anyone.
    • Dual input fast charging with tons of watt hours
    • Great charging gadget
    • Would be better if it could be charged while also having something plugged in be able to be powered
    • It was like having a normal charge, if not better
    • Samsung fast charging wall wort has no problem charging the phone while in use and will quickly bring it to 100% when battery level is low
    • Quick charge capability for the behemoth capacity reduces charging DRASTICALLY!!!!!
    • Got this thing about a week ago now charged it up and currently waiting on it to go dead charging two phones everyday for a total of 6 days now better than any other battery ive seen
    • I was with the expectation that I would be able to get my Samsung S7 edge into fast charge and it does not
    • 4&1/2 charges for the iPhone 7Plus is impressive to me for the charger's size and weight
    • Holds a charge very well.
    • I have been using anker brand chargers and batteries pack for over three years , very happy with all the products that me and my family own at the moment , right size , right weight and a long and fast charging
    • LED lights are hit or miss as far as the total charge %
    • WHILE PLAYING THE GAME AND NOT ONE CHARGE LOST AMAZING
    • It charges fairly quickly, but since I was using my iPhone 6S Plus with wi-fi on, charging was very slow
    • Now I can go abroad without worrying about if I brought the right adapters and have enough charge for two devices for almost a week!
    • Definitely fast when charging
    • It finally stayed charging, but then would die again.
    • Excellent capacity!Fast charging when charging using both inputs!Great look but scratches easily.
    • I had bought this product and read the directions and charged it accordingly but every time I tried to use it it would have no charge and it would not work at all with my iPhone 6s
    • I would highly recommend ordering this along with the Anker dual USB charger for incredible fast charging as well as the recommend carrying case as both AC adapter and portable battery fit well along with storage for your cables
    • Does not support Fast charge for my samsung galaxy s7 edge
    • This pack lasts me a full week of intermittent charging of my cell phone from less than 15%
    • I love it and the charge in it seems to last forever
    • Fast charging
    • Very good charge
    • This battery continues to hold a good charge, and continues to charge any device quickly.
    • It also has 2 micro USB ports for fast charging
    • Plus I get like six charges out of
    • There is no better option for portable charging solutions
    • And the fact you can parallel fast-charge this battery with micro-usb lobs it out of the ballpark for usefulness.
    • When i get it and plug it in with my samsung s9 wire it only does the normal charging rate, not fast charging
    • Get a QC 3.0 battery pack if you want fast charging
    • If you're looking for a portable charging device for a single iPhone, I'd recommend purchasing something much smaller and lighter
    • This thing does a rapid charge if the phone can handle it, and I have customers commenting on how much their phone charged up in the short period of time they are in my car.
    • good and fast charge
    • The 3 usb ports makes it convenient to share charges with friends or family or even strangers that need a quick boost
    • It is not the cheapest portable charging option around, but it is one of the highest capacities and is made by a reputable company
    • Double input port allows for faster recharging, while three outputs allow fast charging for 3 devices at once
    • Heavier and larger than I expected but holds a good charge.
    • At least the others say for most devices, this one says optimal univeral charging FOR ALL Devices which is the number 1 reson i picked this opposed to others
    • And the Anker customer service reached out to me very fast And happily sent me a replacement that will work for my Galaxy S8 fast charging capabily
    • came 75% charged, loved that and the two cords to charge the unit
    • I was happy till I plugged in my Samsung Note 4...not fast charging
    • The battery pack started experiencing issues with holding a charge recently
    • It had retained the charge since December (all 4 LEDs lit) and charged our iPhones for 3 days and still had enough charge left (3 LEDs)
    • Did not rapid charge my Nexus 6p but was a solid product.
    • This thing is a beast, it has 3 usb ports, 1 of the port can to Samsung Qualcomm quick charge 2 and 3, I verified it does go into fast charge on my note 5
    • However, please note it will take a full day of charging on a 2 Amps phone charger (and certain Qualcomm Quick Charge chargers don't like this battery bank, as verified with the USB voltmeter, no fault of the battery bank, nor Anker as their Qualcomm Quick Charge chargers will work just fine with it, just quite slow charging, however, you can use two USB charging (input) ports on the charger at the same time to speed things along).I bought it for as a part of camping kit along with Anker's 21 Watts solar panel, so I am totally prepared, as I like to do astrophotography away from the light pollution.
    • This charges amazes me and the product is very well built
    • Excellent portable charging system.
    • powerhouse, it has dual charging ports for fast charges.
    • I also bought this as a slave battery for my gopro Karma grip but the Karma grip loses its charge faster than what this power bank recharges
    • We were traveling, and using our phones as a gps guided walking tour of a town and it consumed our phone batteries after about 1/2 a day of doing this, so we ended up charging our iphones twice during our excursions, and it still is indicating a full charge on it, as if it has not even dented the charge in reserve!It's heavier than I expected, about 2 pounds perhaps, but has earned it's place in our backpack from now on
    • I don't like using the AC port in a car for phone charging because it's rarely fast enough to go from a low battery to a full charge before shutting the engine off and interrupting the charge
    • I bought this battery thinking it would charge my Note 5 by fast charging and it does not.
    • I highly recommend the Anker Quick Charge 3.0 39W Dual USB Wall Charger to charge this thing up
    • Be advised, with great charging capacity comes slow charging time for the PowerCore
    • The charges on this are fantastic
    • My Nexus 5X insists on not fast charging on this however... which was disappointing...
    • This is a really good buy for many reasons like I haven't needed to charge it at all since it came in the mail which is nice, does not say it's fast charging but it seems to charge faster then a normal charger which is good, came with a good amount of things like a protective bag (which is odd cause it did come scratched up), and it's sleak looking which is amazing
    • but is a good steady charge even while in use so this being said
    • Best Powerbank I have used, it is durable and good and fast charge and recharge!
    • Have used about a dozen times up north off grid, able to keep galaxy note, 6, and a 6plus charged and recharged all weekend with kids draining them twice daily...
    • I bought this thinkinging it fast charged
    • However when I use this portable charger in the same scenario only the charge case charges until it’s full and then the phone.. this is a problem.
    • Don't believe any other person that says it supports fast charge, because it does not
    • Only has been a few weeks but works great, gives a great and speedy charge to my iPhones.
    • It took overnight to top off the charge
    • Takes a long time to fill with a charge, worth the wait.
    • The charge is not that bad took about 3-6 hours for full chargeNot too bigAnker customer support is always
    • Having a faster charge time for our devices make way more sense in my opinion
    • Dosent support Samsung Qualcomm fast charging
    • I was happy to have enough charge on the portable charger to call for AAA assistance, and like a previous reviewer, we wished it had enough power to start the truck, but it doesn't.
    • and I'm still working off that same charge 14 days later
    • It did not hold enough charge to completely recharge 1 device, much less several.
    • works exactly as stated...super quick charge...great product
    • Slowest charge EVER
    • Fast charging
    • The fast charging function quickly charges my android devices (and my peers apple ones) when Im nowhere near reliable power.
    • Holds a charge for a long time - love this charger.
    • It does a slower charge if you play while charging, but if you leave it it'll charge the Switch in about 2 1/2 -3 hours - which is roughly the same as having it in the dock
    • The battery is good and charge for long time but the recharge wire is not very durable
    • Be advised, with great charging capacity comes slow charging time for the PowerCore
    • When compared to cheap chinese charge circuits and even other non-chinese ones; the Anker blows them out of the water
    • but it does not charge as fast as a rapid charge
    • However, please note it will take a full day of charging on a 2 Amps phone charger (and certain Qualcomm Quick Charge chargers don't like this battery bank, as verified with the USB voltmeter, no fault of the battery bank, nor Anker as their Qualcomm Quick Charge chargers will work just fine with it, just quite slow charging, however, you can use two USB charging (input) ports on the charger at the same time to speed things along).I bought it for as a part of camping kit along with Anker's 21 Watts solar panel, so I am totally prepared, as I like to do astrophotography away from the light pollution.
    • Nonetheless, when the third light gets to blinking, that means full as far as I'm concerned and I get full and long use out of it, which means my customers get rapid charging in a 10 to 20 minute
    • I was reached out to by Anker shortly after writing this review, with some troubleshooting tips, and the simultaneous charging started working as it should
    • I'm not sure if this is charging right or full charge
    • Love this product..particularly the option to fast charge
    • I am a fan of Anker products and especially their excellent customer service, I love the rapid charging dual port car charger I
    • This new one looks great and I look forward to the faster charging
    • A little heavy but packs loads of recharges and seems to not lose charge when sitting on shelf for a while
    • WAY heavier than I expected , but it does hold a charge for a long time and is handy on long flights if there is no electrical outlet- and even if there is, so you don't have to reach somewhere under the seat groping for the plug and startling the person next to you when you hit their leg.....
    • Holds its charge remarkably well
    • This was extremely useful and it holds a great charge...
    • 3 usb ports a major positive as I am an avid Pokemon Go player as well as a football tailgater and there are plenty of other people in need of a charge out there
    • but its as good as it says
    • The smart charging rate works excellently for pushing your phone or tablet as fast as it can charge
    • Just bummed the draw strung on the bag broke as i was putting the charger in for the first time straight out of the box and the bag is one of my favorite features
