Is this going to happen?
Lighter Anker PowerCore+ II 10000 and 20000 Coming Soon! (with Power Delivery)
IS the Powercore II 20000 actually called the PowerCore Speed 20000 PD?
It has that silly high price currently implying once in stock it will drop and then usually a 20% discount so may get to say $50-$60 with the supplied charger?
I still though want to see better chargers because if all you do is drain a 20000 which takes 4 hours to recharge, you’re going to want a dual-socket USB-PD charger to recharge your device and this Powercore concurrently, ideally a 60W dual-port (but anything 30W-60W e.g. 45W would be better than replugging overnight)
Actually I think this is not the crazy high starting price.
No. PowerCore II 20000 is the one with PIQ2
PowerCore+ II should have 2 USB-A Ports with IQ2 and the USB-C PD port should be capable of 45W output.
Still waiting on an update from @AnkerOfficial
WE have got to the point the name is irrelevant, we have to read up on the specs. Speed used to mean Quickcharge, which then got rolled into IQ2, now it means PD.
Someone in Anker has to take a tough line on consolidating the product line both in quantity and in consistent names or there will be an uptick of negative reviews from recent buyers remorse of buying wrong product, partly their fault but also partly Anker’s for too many products with names which are close to useless.

Not only that but it doesn’t take much for them to look toward another brand if they haven’t already experienced Anker.
At $89.99 I think we all have to agree that price is pretty high. Considering its bigger, better brother is only $20 more when its not on sale. This also only has an output of 22.5 watts, with 20100mAh capacity. Its bigger better brother, the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD can output 30 watts, and has a capacity of 26800mAh, all for just $20 more. (unless you grab it before the sale ends at $86.99)
I think if they lowered the price to about $50, or maybe $60, that can market this to Nintendo Switch, and iPhone X owners.
Looking for a power bank for Nintendo switch recently, I have found all this very confusing, with the multiple standards and branding and variations in between that are vague and overlapping. Looking for a portable solution that support the fast charging standards, there seem to be nothing that fits the bill, nothing support PD and still fits in a pocket. So this PowerCore+ II 10000 sounds like it would be perfect and it’s disappointing there is still no sign of it on the horizon!
This would be your best bet for PD standard and can still be somewhat portable. …that terms is different for everyone, where I don’t mind carrying this in my pocket, others do and wouldn’t carry it in there pocket
I don’t think we will see a pocket-able PD bank from Anker for some time. If you think about it though the Switch itself isn’t very pocket-able, I carry mine around in a back pack with a Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD. There are brands like mophie that make a very pocket-able PD battery bank, but its a little expensive.
Can I ask if you’ve got a case for both?
I guess that means the new products rumoured at the start of this thread aren’t coming then.
Oh, no, I definitely think they’re coming.
Still hopes of a late December release, but as we haven’t heard any updates from @AnkerOfficial, there’s a decent chance this plan has been pushed back until 2018.
I have a case for my Switch, and games. A case made by RDS industries. And the battery bank I strap into a pocket in my backpack.
Thanks for your attention on PowerCore+ II, but we don’t have the innovation plan for this product yet.
NOOOOO!
Then why was it at your IFA booth?
Has the product been cancelled?

Yeah, really. Out of all the things they could have cancelled… (cough cough colors)

What ever happened to these products announced all the way back in 2015?!?! @AnkerOfficial. This looks like it could have been some true innovation!

Any updates on upcoming Powercore+ II products? Loving the Powercore II banks but I want a premium version!
They are coming “this year”
It’s unfortunate how slow Anker’s progress has been with adopting the latest charging standards (USB-C and Power Delivery). I suspect we may hear something on Monday, February 26.

I would disagree with you there. I would not call it unfortunate. Power Delivery is still a relatively new thing and there are a lot of rules to follow. Companies taking their time to get things right is something I do appreciate. I want to be able to plug in my $2000 laptop, and my $1.2k phone into an Anker product know its not going to hurt anything, because they took the time to do things right.
