If PowerCore Lite 10000 is lighter than PowerCore Slim 10000, which seems to be the case, I will continue to recommend PowerCore Lite 10000 in my ultimate buying guide.

(PowerCore Slim 10000)

Two inputs and one output. How is this one different from the previous slim aside from the finish?

Insider · June 25, 2019, 1:22pm

More precise LED power indicator and slightly different dimensions… That’s about all.

NxtGen · June 25, 2019, 1:57pm

So many releases so fast… haha hard to keep up

The_Bearded_Tech_Guy · June 25, 2019, 2:09pm

so many slight variations. This can’t be cost effective.

Corwin_Davis_Khoe · June 25, 2019, 3:07pm

NO USB-C OUTPUT

C4RB1N3 · June 25, 2019, 5:02pm

What’s the point of this one? Does it fix something that was wrong with the previous version?

TechMan · June 25, 2019, 5:07pm

Exactly. Anker is releasing a bunch of products that pretty much already exist, when they could be innovating new products that haven’t been seen. For instance they could make an actually smart PD charger with multiple ports as @professor was taking about. There are many things they could do, but they seem to be sticking to re-releasing products instead.

Not only is this bad business practice, but it also loses customers. How many posts have been created here about people being confused about Anker’s plethora of similar products? How many people have been too lazy, or didn’t know what to do about this confusion, and ultimately gave up?

If you haven’t heard my story, that was almost me.

I had read/watched so many things recommending Anker, but all different products. Looking at their website made me super frustrated, and I ultimately chose a product (PowerCore+ Mini) that I never would have bought if I was fully educated on the lineup. However, the Anker packaging caught my attention (still think the old boxes were way better), and that’s why I kept coming back.

TechMan · June 25, 2019, 5:27pm

What were the old boxes like? I like the Soundcore flare box the best…

Insider · June 25, 2019, 5:31pm

The ones with the old Anker logo.

TechMan · June 25, 2019, 5:37pm

I prefer the new stuff . All just preference though…

TheDude · June 25, 2019, 5:44pm

Deal breaker for me, looks very nice though

Insider · June 25, 2019, 6:00pm

Remember, a PD version (input and output) is coming this fall.

Nhi · June 25, 2019, 6:46pm

I like the design but I don’t see the need to upgrade from other similar models.

Tony_A · June 27, 2019, 3:38am

That’s the one I want.

k_pug2003 · June 27, 2019, 7:44am

I love the aesthetic of that.

I must admit I don’t personally like having less output slots than input - but I can see the appeal for fast charging.
