[New Release] PowerCore 10000 PD+ (with PowerIQ 2.0)

[CapitalCapybara]

Looks good, pretty much what the original 10000 PD should have been.

[TheDude]

Maybe they had some PIQ 1 parts laying around for the first batch…

[Insider]

I think this is what PowerCore II should have been; now we will wait for one with PowerIQ 3.0…

[CapitalCapybara]

Hmmm, maybe power iq 3 will simulate power delivery as well as quick charge…

Introducing PowerIQ 3.0 | PowerPort+ Atom III

[image] It’s a big day, Anker fans! The latest generation of our high-speed charging technology, PowerIQ, has arrived. With expanded compatibility for both the Quick Charge protocol and Power Delivery, PowerIQ 3.0 is the most compatible, powerful, charging technology to date. Unlike previous iterations of PowerIQ, the third generation is powered by USB-C. This means that it fast-charges not only your mobile devices, but also tablets, laptops, game systems, and more; all from a single port. […

The race to 4.0 begins!

The Walmart is actually pretty great. It means they can reach new customers.

In all honesty, though; if one isn’t released within the next few months, I’m going to be frustrated.

I’m just happy we’re starting to get type C on soundcore products.

Did you see the email earlier that makes it 80 bucks? I’m tempted

[Insider]

I’m just happy

Expect more.

[TheDude]

Lol. Nah, sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I expect nothing.

[ikari04warrior]

Definitely a product I’d like to get since it has PIQ 2.0. For the price, it seems like a good purchase

[Insider]

You do you man.

I saw part of the email (what loaded). Speaking of Usb-C, I see 1’ length cables (nylon headed) for USB a to micro and lightning, but not to USB a to Usb-C. I’ve had two cables showing exposed wires. The original cables that comes with the products.

[Element321]

Nice product. But as others mentioned I’m not a big fan of Walmart only products I prefer to purchase these types of products from Amazon or directly from Anker.

I think Best Buy is now getting Best Buy only products form Anker.

[azrael_dd]

So… “Walmart only” equals “US only”?
Will it become available in Europe and Germany? I was considering to buy the PowerCore 10000 PD for a while now but had a feeling that a little bit of waiting might be worth it… but now I won’t be able to buy the PowerCore 10000 PD+?
And the old PowerCore 10000 PD is not even listed on the Anker homepage anymore - what is going on?

[Insider]

What device(s) do you plan on charging?

[rtena]

Too expensive for $50 IMO

[azrael_dd]

I want a powerbank to charge my new camera (Canon EOS RP) while traveling, which requires USB-C with power delivery. But I also want to be able to charge my phone and bluetooth earphones via USB-A, so the PowerCore 10000 PD seemed like the perfect match. This includes the advertised “trickle charge” function. I have a “PowerCore+ 13400mAh” from 2016 and I am still not sure if it actually charges my bluetooth earphones.

I am also confused by the note “Not compatible with Anker PowerPort PD 1, Anker PowerPort PD 2 or Anker PowerPort Atom PD 1” on Amazon, since I will also need a new wall plug to charge the new PowerCore.
There are a couple of posts about that topic: PowerCore 10000 PD and Wall charger compatibility

I assumed a new “+” version of the PowerCore 10000 PD would have solved those issues.
(btw I hate those “+” naming scheme. They should have a proper versioning with numbers…)
