On October 5, Anker will release the PowerPort II 2 on Amazon for $16.
The PowerPort 2 features a slightly updated design, but sticks with PowerIQ 1 technology for now. I suspect PowerIQ 2 will be incorporated in future versions, but we won’t know for sure until it is (if it is). I also think we’ll see more PowerPorts with USB-C in a bit.
Otherwise, this still has a 24W output split between 2 ports.
Gonna have to pick one up, my turbo charger just crapped out on me for my Motorola
Interesting, the PowerPort 2 seems to be refreshed often. Isn’t this the second time this year?
Yes and once in the back half of last year!
Not gonna lie, i really like that design!
Maybe a version of the Fusion will be updated with the Quick charge
nice, so this is the super compact version of the “elite”?, it looks smaller and cute.
I wouldn’t say super compact. The Elite was a large version of the upgraded PowerPort 2. This new PowerPort II 2 has the same dimensions as the older, upgraded PowerPort 2.
ok, good to know. I wish Anker could fix the LED light on the Elite model. It shows blue all the time. Normally Anker use green for charging and blue for idle on its chargers.
Yeah otherwise what’s the point of the light 
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if all of Anker’s products are updated with either the PIQ 2 or PD.
It would be a Quick charge standard with IQ. Imagine if the Powercore Fusion and Powercore 5000 both had Quick charge. When you are use to the Quick charge 3.0 and then use a slower charger you start asking questions
SO is the Powerport2 with a changed name? They made the Elite bigger than the original so it is smaller than the elite and so same size as original?
And different light indicator.
Oh wow, a different light, what innovation!
Well, to the common consumer, this may appear more innovative than changing the charging technologies / power … as sad as that sounds.
QC 3 or USB PD will require more powerful charger, hence bigger case, higher price. I don’t think if that is the price target of this one.
As long as it does the job well, incremental upgrade is welcome, imo.
Well because Anker has figured out how to incorporate QC 3 into PowerIQ, it shouldn’t be too much bigger or more expensive.
Also, I guess I’m not seeing the upgrade here. Care to clarify?
They have the QC3 and IQ incorporated in one already https://www.anker.com/products/variant/PowerPort-2-Ports/A2024111
I haven’t gotten this one and put it next it to the old, but I think it is smaller. The design was also cosmetically changed, which is nicer.
I am referring to PowerIQ 2.0.
This is smaller than the Elite but not the previous versions, which had the same amount of power, so no innovation there.
