Is this new? Powercore II 20000

[Insider]

Let’s hope it’s cheaper.

[Insider]

What Anker used to do was, given each product was not quite a whole 1000 (e.g. 3350x3=10050), they used to use the fact they were rounding down, to round down to different numbers so you had a 10050 and a 10000 so a way to be a little less confused, or possibly differently confused as folks still had to understand what was each product.

Example:

In the upgraded PowerCore Speed 20000’s manual, the capacity is listed at 20100.

On the other hand, the original Speed 20000 was listed as 20000 in the manual, too.

Quick sidenote: another upgrade over the original Speed 20000 is that the new one supports QC 3.0 input, the old one supported no QC at all.

Ok, this one is really confusing:

Both sizes listed in the same place…

[professor]

Logically as the Speed 20000 is $41, the non-speed should be <$41.

[Insider]

Yes, and combined with the fact that:

PowerIQ 2 is supposed to bring smaller, thinner lighter, and cheaper versions of their predecessors.

I would expect a price around $35… that is unless the input is 3A or something unexpected.

[professor]

i agree, in that mid-$35 order at its “usual discount” price (which is not its continual price), e.g. the Powercore 10000 tends to discount periodically to around $20 so a little less than 2x that as cost is dominated by the Lithium cells.

Name change reflected on Amazon

[Insider]

Today shall be remembered.

Thanks. How did you find it?

The wheel is usually heavier.

6.4oz is the current 10000mAh weight.

Same input (microB) not USB-C,

So waiting on volume, W in, W out.

[Insider]

How did you find it?

Some secrets cannot be told…

[Insider]

The rest of the dimensions are very similar to the original 10000, too.

[professor]

How is it better?

The obvious is recharge time and the max W output.

[Insider]

And cheaper

The wheel is usually heavier.
[/quote] Maybe not, if it contains two less LEDs in the wheel
Old: 10 LEDs
New: 8 LEDs

Those LEDs weigh a ton…

Now each LED represents 12.5%?
Sideways innovation at it’s best!

@AnkerOfficial Go back to 4 or 10 LEDs I should not have to be a mathematician to calculate my remaining charge😜

[Insider]

Haha, but really, good catch!

[AnkerOfficial]

You’re a good spy…hahaha

[AnkerOfficial]

Sometimes, yes. But counting things is not always so easy hahaha…

[professor]

I recall I think it was @bobbleheaderman or @TechnicallyWell told you how but I didn’t learn it.

I have been just going to amazon.com search for anker, then sort by newest and select anker, how are you doing it?

Unless you are going to write a book and charge to buy it, don’t see why you’d hide your method.

[professor]

Let me guess, when a price appears it will be… $70?

Then the “usual discount” is say $30…?

The lowest price it will get in promotions is $20…?

Haha, I emailed their support team.
