I had my eye on this I have 2 anker charger they are the amazing quality from my experiences. Thanks for the reviews

[@adamtalkstech]

Glad you like them!

[@wakeupnyc718]

@@adamtalkstech thanks i just got it ! It looks pretty cool so far !!

[@ThomasConnolly]

Finally, Anker put a numerical digital display on one of their power banks. That way, you can actually see what percentage your phone is charged at or what percentage the battery bank is charged at instead of just seeing lighted bars, which don't give you a precise charging level👍

[@adamtalkstech]

It’s a super nice feature that they’re putting on some of the other newer products too

[@ThomasConnolly]

@adamtalkstech It's about time Anker did this👍

[@kaliamrit]

@adamtalkstech I have same power bank working fine but no display 😢

[@oleksandr472]

Hi. I used the build-in cable of Anker's A1359 power bank to charge my Liberty 4 NC in tickle-charging mode. The earbuds case as well as the earbuds themselves felt very hot after being charged to 90%. I have mixed feelings about this device.

[@adamtalkstech]

Thats strange. I haven't had issues with it generating any more heat than any other charger I use.

[@zonka6598]

What's the exact weight?

[@vandingenenikke2165]

Anker powerbanks are the best ive ever had.

[@adamtalkstech]

They are superb.

[@TechnoBoomer]

Very interesting product that can charge Android devices too, I presume....

[@adamtalkstech]

Correct! I'm too much of an apple fan for my own good.

[@JohnDoe-oj5it]

Yes

[@fredtgreco]

When recharging the power bank, I assume you can use the built-in cable or a separate USB-C, but you cannot speed up charging by using both. Correct?

[@adamtalkstech]

Correct! I think only the Anker prime series has that feature to use dual chargers for faster charging

[@weddings_]

What’s your phone case

[@terigraham7609]

Is it compatible with the Samsung S22?

[@SH-cq8np]

Absolutely yes, it will give you super fast charging

[@matthewburno]

do you think it would be good enough to charge the switch without playing?

[@adamtalkstech]

Not sure, I don't know the requirements on the switch

[@matthewburno]

@@adamtalkstech dang I wanted something like this for the switch I don’t like the dedicated switch ones

[@oneproductionman]

Planning to buy it NOW (its already in my amazon cart lol). But I'm wondering if it can properly charge (even slowly) a Steam Deck or a Meta Quest 3 while in use.

[@adamtalkstech]

Great question. I don’t have either of those devices but I would look into what they need under maximum power demand.

[@Soaizhere404]

Youre gonna fry the meta quest

[@debajyotinath5021]

have you used it yourself?

[@adamtalkstech]

Yes still works great.

[@alvarogonzalezgambini7598]

just whast i needed to hear. Thanks! Edit: video liked and subscribed.

[@adamtalkstech]

Happy to help!

[@Alarion_1988]

Question to all of you owning this powerbank: To me it seems that the built-in USB-C cable is very snug/tight fitting into all of my devices. It requires a fair amount of force to plug/unplug it. Can anyone confirm this? I'm kind of worried about the USB-C ports of my devices. Thanks alot!

[@kniceperson]

I think this is pretty typical of newer cables, I wouldn't be too worried

[@stereotipoj3239]

works for galaxy s10+?

[@lodem5555]

Mine the Hour minate is not accurate decrease and increase in the same minute does it mean it’s not working well or should i ignore it?

[@lingioszarna2329]

how many hours does it need to recharge?

[@michamilka]

It's really quick. I just got it and charged it from 0 to 100 in less than 1.5 hours

[@BigDawgCAM]

@@michamilka How?! Mine takes like 3 hours to recharge

[@squarciatore8856]

​@@BigDawgCAMdepends on charging speed

[@squarciatore8856]

​@@BigDawgCAMhe May be using a 30w charger

[@squarciatore8856]

​@@BigDawgCAMof you are using a slower One thats why

[@hueynguyen85]

The usb C doesn’t work with iPhone 15 pro. Keeps flipping to reverse charge.

[@Krymsn1]

Mine doesn’t. Works fine.

[@Ghassan.Bahzani]

admin: Does it work on Realme 6 Pro mobile?

[@adamtalkstech]

Unsure

[@Tarek123H]

Which is better a power bank like this or a magsafe battery pack

[@ililliillliilliiill8779]

I purchased magsafe. Don't like it. I will buy this.

[@mo_418]

@@ililliillliilliiill8779MagSafe can get pretty hot too (when wireless charging)

[@ElitePortraits]

I put the powerbank on top of the charger when is plugged in the wall. 😂 i dont know how you did not figure out

[@adamtalkstech]

Smart! I’ve done that before too just don’t love it :)

[@edingcnc7685]

Unfortunately the anker nano is only 5500 mAh at 5V Output. Far from the specified 10000 mAh. So you can charge your Samsung S23 only once!

[@ehennemann9855]

Thank you for your review. You've helped me decide this is what I want. However, Amazon isn't always clear with the details on offer. Could you add the link to the exact charger your describe for me?

[@adamtalkstech]

Yeah it’s the exact one on the first link in the video

[@johnjeoffreym]

can it charge my laptop?

[@ankuracharya4556]

Does it have a low power mode?

[@adamtalkstech]

Yes I think you press and hold the button

[@thtinman9418]

** double press the button** a little green light will appear​@@adamtalkstech

[@RoseBerry1995]

i've just brought this and i'm struggling to charge it, i've plugged it into a separate cable to charge it but it doesn't seem to charge, when i click the button it shows the percentage then goes up maximum of 3% and then stops charging..i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. any advice?

[@adamtalkstech]

Tried multiple charging bricks? Sounds like you got a dud.

[@henrikpettersson2886]

I hope tha usb-c cable will be sturdy enough to be thrown in a bag on a daily basis.

[@adamtalkstech]

Should be. Ankers got a good warranty too

[@user-gj9jw4ph3o]

Is it really heavy?

[@adamtalkstech]

Not too bad

[@fahrizyusof7841]

thanks.. i'll get mine 🙂

[@adamtalkstech]

Good pick!

[@toetie2019]

The USB C cable isn't removable sadly, and the display turns off WAYYY too quickly, even when charging where it wouldn't matter. What's the point of such a detailed display when you have to press the button every time

[@UV_2008]

Will this work with a Nintendo Switch? Is it even safe will it brick or fry my device?

[@fernandogodinez9395]

The switch requieres 45W I think, so it just won’t charge at all

[@andonlytheone111]

How many times does it charge a phone?

[@jesseleos136]

he says it in the video

[@Andy-Mesa]

I got this and found out it doesn't have passthrough charging. Dealbreaker.

[@adamtalkstech]

Correct. I’m not sure why some of ankers stuff has it and some doesn’t.

[@M.O.Jasmin]

Was looking for this. Thanks.

[@JD-nf6xb]

It has passthrough. I have it and I constantly use it like that.

[@toetie2019]

@@JD-nf6xbrevised version?

[@Andy-Mesa]

@@JD-nf6xb When did you get yours? I'd buy it again if it was revised to include pass through
