Thanks for the review. I have now purchased this power bank after seeing your review. By the way, Ampere is pronounced Am-pair. Its the unit measurement for current that we all shorten to Amp.

[@wwjoshdew]

Thanks for being nice about my mistake. Usually people roast me. Lol

[@utubepunk]

For a $60 battery pack, USBc input & a digital % battery life indicator should be the standard.

[@ianrowland1595]

Merry Christmas Mate, always good to see your videos 👍👍👍

[@xskyblue9884]

I have this exact power bank, it's pretty good and quickly charges fast with enough juice for days. However, I come to get issues when the bank is completely dead. It wouldn't charge anymore even after a whole day stuck blinking the first light. I came to figure out that I needed to reset the module for it to recognize that it's plugged in for charging. Overall, it's decent. Just wished it had a much more better way of telling how much juice is left besides some dots.

[@MariNate1016]

How do you reset the module

[@OfficialVontify]

how do u reset

[@G.Saint-Star]

@jkirk1626yes, this person probably enjoys doing that.

[@marubinooo]

bad

[@brwnbear]

Are the cables it comes with fast charging or or do I have to buy separate ones for fast charging?

[@wwjoshdew]

Type c to type c is fast charging. USB a to c usually isn’t. But Samsung can if it has Qualcomm quick charge. So the answer is yes, as long as your phone supports fast charging.

[@HSTMachine]

Good video. What is that adapter you used? FYI, 'Ampere' (am-peer) is what 'amp' stands for. It's a unit of measuring current.

[@cooljim2009]

Great review. What is the output of the USB-A output? I have a Poco x4 Pro. Although this has fast charge of 67w when connected to its dedicated charger, it does not mention if it supports PD. If I connected a USB-C cable to the USB-C output on the PowerBank would you happen to know if it charge at the full 20 Watts? Thanks

[@karl02756]

Would you reccomend the 525 or the 335?

[@alexpascu1985]

Hello, can you please tell me if the charging speed of the device drops bellow 3A when the battery itself is charging? Asking this because I'm looking for a 5V3A power bank to used it with a travel router and I want to power the router while the battery is charging and so benefit from the surge protection and all. Couldn't find a good mini UPS unfortunately:(. Thanks for the video!

[@rogueagent827]

Just bought one and gonna order a few more

[@karimamir3745]

How many watts does the pixel 7 charge with the samsung powerbank? Could u please try that and tell me

[@abbasshah1418]

Hi, there Joshua I hope you are doing fine I have recently bought Anker Core Essential 2000 PD and I'm a bit confused how to charge my power bank. I have USB Type-C to Micro USB wire with 33W Adapter to charge it. will it damage my power bank or should i Buy a type C to C wire with Adapter of any brand. Appreciate you reply Thank you.

[@Jason-nj6ve]

Great Video. So is the max recharge time 6.5 hours as limited to 18.5 hours? How anyone charged it quicker or is that about right?

[@Haneen_HS7]

Hi, thank you for the video Some issues right here I’m confused between two Anker power bank Anker PowerCore Essential 20000 PD Power Bank And Anker PowerCore Metro Essential 20000 PD Since you are an expert in this field can you guide me please What you recommend for me related that I’m only use it with my Iphone 12, Ipad pro and AirPods Thank you

[@Katniss0000]

did you find the answer for your question?

[@rjbfreelander2]

I have a couple of the Anker 325 20k units. They work great but would be nice if the USB-C was an output and if it charges at 20w instead of 10.. take ages at 10.5 hours. Tempted to upgrade these.

[@pushupboy7846]

Nice and Complete Review👌

[@marubinooo]

I am contemplating to either buy the 10k Slim or this one, they are similar in terms of sizing and weight, and most of all, the 525 is on sale as of now on my local online shop, so guess what hahaha, so thanks for this informative video!

[@Nfc21d]

Just got the anker 525 power bank can i use my 12w apple charger to charge the power bank

[@Tonellacam]

I’m looking specifically for a pd powerbank with 9v/3a or 9v/2a output , that ls what my camera recommends , please help me !!!

[@stephan20008]

Just bought this! 39.99 on offer

[@MariaZaouache-fp9dp]

My power bank is om 2 sriped but it doesn't want to charge the cable is right

[@zirex6620]

@wwjoshdew would you recommend this one over the 335? And if not or not by alot which other ones would you recommend that are around 20k and under 80€

[@fardeenbeharry]

Very helpful review. Thanks

[@mikerobbins4138]

I'm looking at this vs belkin one 20k says charges 30 watts which brand etc is better I have a s23 ultra it says 20 watt you show 18

[@cropower6167]

Hi, great video. I would like to ask you if I can use Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter instead of Anker Nano 30W adapter to charge this PowerBank?

[@wwjoshdew]

Yes you can. Yours would be fine.

[@mashy712]

The max charge the bank can take is 18W

[@sefainemad5465]

Its my first time to get a power bank, and after reviewing this video, I will buy this power bank for my soundcore liberty 3 pro and my oppo a74 4g mobile, but I have the following questions: 1) can I use my oppo 30w adapter with type a to type c cable instead of anker nano 30w adapter type c to type c to charge this power bank? Or its the same since the used power delivery adapter is 30w and it doesn't mind which cable you are using if its type a to type c or its type c to type c? 2) if I am going to recharge both my earbuds and my oppo phone at the same time and I activated the trickle charge mode,, in this case I should the cable type a to type c coming with anker earbuds or use cable type c to type c coming with anker 525? Just for more safety

[@grega9220]

Thanks for this. Anker's website is so bad. Really all I want to know if the difference between 325 vs 335 and 525.. I've been looking at it for an hour and still have no idea. ;-)

[@wwjoshdew]

335: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX7Ihn9jZayCjpo, 525 is the video you just commented on, and I didn't do a video on the 325. Avoid it. Don't buy the 325. Get the 525 or 335. Get the 335 if you still use USB A, as well as type c.

[@grega9220]

@@wwjoshdew Thanks for the quick reply.. Real quick to not take up much of your time what is the brief difference between 335 and 525. I think Anker needs to give you some royalties. :-). Do you ever compare with Goal Zero?

[@wwjoshdew]

@@grega9220 525 has one type c and one USB a. The 335 has two USB a and one type c. That, and the design of the battery... Is the only difference. the texture of the 525 is much nicer. I don't use USB a anymore, so I'd go with 525 personally.

[@nacerondz]

Does it support PD 3.0 or just 2.0?

[@wwjoshdew]

Idk. I just know it will do 20 watts max and 15 Max if you have Samsung. Get the 10k redux 25w if you want faster charging. The redux will do 25w on Samsung, iphone, pixel, and everything else.

[@nacerondz]

@@wwjoshdew Anker Support just confirmed me that's it support PD 3.0 and QC 3.0.

[@nacerondz]

@@wwjoshdew For the Redux 25W unfortunately it's just 10000mAh doesn't fit my need.
