Best Anker Power Bank in ~10000 range?

Thanks so much to all of you for sharing your expertise on these products.

I read lots of reviews, but your input is invaluable. Thanks!

Like Josh, I’d also recommend either the PowerCore 10,000 or PowerCore II 10,000. At the same time, I would not recommend the 13,000 since it’s only 3,000mAh greater capacity than the 10,000 and is quite a bit bigger and heavier than either of the 10,000s mentioned. I have both the PowerCore 10,000 and 13,000 and my go-to unit is the PowerCore 10,000, hands-down due to it’s excellent size-to-capacity ratio.

I’d add the PowerCore Speed 10,000 to that list.

Wouldn’t recommend any of the Speed series (except maybe the PD version) because the II versions are less expensive and better materials.

Folks, I have one more quick question, this time on a wall charger.
On the “PowerPort 2 Ports,” one output is designated as QC3.0 and the other as PowerIQ. Do you know if the QC3.0 port can also be used to charge non-QC3.0 devices, so that I can plug in 2 iPhones, for instance???
Thanks much for any insight.

#16

Yes, you absolutely can.

#17

Thanks, Joshua!

#18

Do you know if either of these power banks would benefit from recharging from a QC3.0 port, rather than simply a PowerIQ port?

PowerCore II Slim 10000
PowerCore II 10000

Thanks!

Yes, both of those will benefit from QC 3 by a pretty significant margin.

During my testing of quick charge and power iq I have found that they charge within 10 or so minutes of each other so you really cannot go wrong with either. And this is my testing using my Samsung Galaxy s5, my wife’s S7 and my Motorola Moto X Pure

#21

The difference will be magnified when you are charging batteries multiple times the size. Anker claims about 1/2 the time.

#22

I will say my moto x ure with its 3k mah battery does charge faster than the Galaxy s5 which has a 2800mah battery, and the s7 which has a 3k battery too. Not sure why seeing as it doesn’t use quick charge 3.0 like the s7, but it charges faster than both. For that reason I’m happy with it

#23

What quick charge version does S5 have?

#24

Quick charge 2.0

I recently buy Anker 13000mAh Power Bank for my brand new Pixel 2 XL. This is the first ever power bank I used. I especially like its design and it perfectly fits in my palm or pocket. Up to now, I don’t face any issue. I will share more review later.

Anker is my first choice!

But If you are looking for some alternatives power bank that comes with a slim design and high capacity power bank that charges more than just one device and coming at an affordable price then you should check out this list of…

Please do not post links to competitors items, while some things that are not made by Anker can be shared, giving a direct link to a site that refers people to buy different lower end inferior products is a big no no.

I have both and i like PowerCore II 10000 it is fast and the 8 LED gives more precise capacity of the juice it has.

PowerCore II Slim 10000
PowerCore II 10000

Those would be the best choices. The Slim is nice if you ever find yourself holding and using the phone while you are using it.
