Anker powercore + 26800 destroys the battery of the phones

Your phone actually has many protections internally to protect from damage during charging. So even in the rare occurrence that a power bank is outputting too much / too little power, your phone can typically handle it. For example, most Apple devices will stop charging completely until reconnected if the power output is too low (as many people experience with a solar charger on a partly cloudy day).

this is such an interesting thread…

OP, can you show us if your particular PowerCore+ is defective? You can do this by simply using a pass-through to show the output current while it is connected to your phone. You should be able to find one cheaply on Amazon or at your local computer parts store.

If the powerbank is defective, and you can verify that it is the powerbank and not your phone via the pass-through, then I’m sure Anker will take good care of you in rectifying the issue if your powerbank is still under warranty.

That being said, popping in here and slinging language like, it “destroyed my battery” or it’s “traumatized,” is unproductive if you’re actually looking for help. If you’re looking to tell people, “do not buy these batteries if you want to keep your phones running smoothly,” you’re in the wrong place because this is a community full of people who have already bought these batteries among other things. Lol.

New accounts have little to no credibility, and posts like this with no real information attached carry no weight.

If you want anything you say to be taken even remotely serious you should really try to add at least a little information about the problem you are presenting.

I agree here, and also to the op…if your going to come here and demand people stay away from a product, at least present your case with proof a proper structure

@liviuhandrea Try deleting any recently installed apps or backup phone then do a factory reset. Your battery drain problems are most likely due to power hungry apps or faulty internal phone battery. Can you also be a little more specific why you think the powercore degraded your battery? I can understand your frustrations. There is nothing wrong with being under-informed but you will catch a lot more flies with honey than you will with vinegar. Despite your negative attitude the people in this forum will be more than happy to assist you with your problem. Play nice home slice.

I’m sorry to hear your problem. But if your cell phone really have problems due to our power banks, we will be responsible for the end.:innocent:

Maybe something is wrong with your phone. There are always problems with those Galaxy phones.

I have never had issues with any galaxy phone I have owned, with the exception of the one I’m using now because the battery is so old

Don’t Samsung know it as well :grin:

Joking aside @liviuhandrea , if you do have an issue with your PowerCore and how it is re-acting with your phone try reaching out to support@anker.com for assistance…

Sounds pretty funny

How dare you speak of my beloved Samsung that way​:neutral_face::wink::laughing: the truth is any device with a lithium battery risks fire or explosion if the battery is damage as lithium is highly reactive. Apple phones have also had problems with puffing battery’s fires and explosions for years it’s not just a samsung problem. In the case of the note 7’s Samsung got a little too ambitious with larger battery’s not leaving enough room for battery expansion.

Even after burning iPhone 7 looks great :thinking:

Maybe that is the reason why it is so expensive. They have a extra crew which is designing how the phone looks by a battery accident

Lol looks like a modern art peice.
