I think its a question of the cable.
It’s OK with the Motion + but not with that pb.

Anker didn’t check with me on delivery address so I’m not united with my (generous) gift, but I do own a 10000 PD and a 10000 PD Slim.

The 10000 PD Slim does NOT charge of an IQ3 charger, but it does charge off a PD charger. If I connect 10000 PD Slim to IQ3 a green light comes on then all lights off.

I also noticed some Anker Type C cables have short connector and finnicky to work reliably.

So if charging is slow, ensure it is connected to a 18W PD charger, not IQ3 charger and try different cable.

I know, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Now, I must say that I did change my prediction from PowerPort III Duo to PowerDrive III Duo after @ndalby made a good point about regional availability, but MY GOODNESS!

As with all of my posts, I had NO “Insider Info” whatsoever when making my guesses.

WOW!

Hey all.
I’ve pulled a few words a pictures together and made an early review of the PowerCore if anyone’s interested.

PowerCore Essential 20000 PD Power Bank Review

Hey Everyone I received this PowerCore from Anker recently and wanted to share my early experiences. What is it? A PowerCore is basically a battery you charge and take around with you! It can then be used to charge something else. To be fair it’s a pretty weird concept if you’ve never used or think you have no use for one. If you camp, fish, hunt, spend long periods outdoors, and take your device with you well this will allow you to use your device to its fullest and not worry about the ba…

Good calculated, educated guess then!!

good work nevertheless

A first impressions review on the PowerDrive for those that are interested.

PowerDrive III Duo Review

Hey Everyone I received this PowerDrive from Anker recently and wanted to share my early experiences. What is it? A PowerDrive is basically an in car charger which powers from the cars cigarette lighter. It has 2 USB-C outputs. [68BC9D6D-33D1-4825-A7E7-FD68A5B68A4F] Anker produces various types of PowerDrives with various combinations of output type. Packaging is the standard white and blue box, minimal and sufficient.

I got my pb charged now.
Another charger and another cable.

It took a while, as I got no charger with USB-C output.
I used the cable from my wife’s phone USB - > USB-C.
Worked over the night.
Patience!

Thank you again ANKER for those great donations.

Great news!

Wow, I didn’t get a chance to charge mine yet. Seems to be a project from what you all are going through. I will have to see what challenges I may have to face.

[ktkundy]

Glad you got it to work interesting that it took so many tires to do so

[professor]

The Powerport 2 with a Type A and C is a good all-rounder. This will be my 5th item wanting 18W PD.
