We Love Testing | PowerPort Atom PD 1

does it come with charging cable?

403 error so updating this @joshuad11

This is very strange. Recently Aukey sent me 3 items to test (20000 mAh battery pack with 4 outputs and 3 inputs (lightning, usb c and microusb), a 18 watt usb pd ac adapter and a wireless charger). They didn’t sent any pd to pd cable so the ac adapter is pretty useless. Love the battery pack though :slight_smile:
I don’t get it, why there is no charging cable with a pd charger (like pd cables are laying around everywhere).

No, it does not.

Anker includes cables with all of their PowerCores and PowerWaves, but not their PowerPorts. I am totally fine with that.

Still don’t have mine :cry:

I just received mine late yesterday, time to put it through the paces!

Here’s my review. Will be updated with testing on an iPhone 7 Plus when my Anker lightning charger arrives. :smiley: @AnkerOfficial

@Mike_Howells Great Review! I am a tad bit confused why with a stock motorola charger it takes the same amount of time to charge as with a GaN charger. What is the form factor of the stock Motorola charger? Twice as big, probably same wattage output?

Motorolas use either a 15w, 28w, or 30w turbo charger. My Motorola Moto X Pure edition came with a 28w turbo charger so for something like that the Atom would be comparable in terms of speed. Most notably Ankers claim about charging your phone up to 2.5 times faster is more in line with Apple products that use stock chargers

This is why an “IQ3” multiport charger makes most sense. You might have a device which cannot take 30W so you might use 2 or 3 ports which collectively benefit from 30W, some may be PD, some may be Quickcharge, some might just need 10W, some might want 1W (buds).

A USB-C port is physically tiny so make a 30W 2 port, or 45W 3 port, 60W 4 port is the obvious sweetspots. 30W, 45W for sure can be wall-socket type, the 60W, and 100W more for a C19 cable as they’ll probably fall out the socket with weight.

If electronically a single IQ3 port which can auto-sense QC, PD and “other” is too difficult then specific ports and a priority of how to hand out power, e.g. a PD port and a USB-C non-PD IQ2 and a A IQ2. I’d personally prefer if they gave the non-PD ports say 10W and balance to PD if you used all ports, but that is where personal preference kicks in.

Thanks for the feedback, I will update with a comparison photo and wattage details. It’s probably 33 percent larger than the Atom.

anyone else having issues posting their reviews or any other posts to the forums? I keep getting error 403 when posting.

@AnkerOfficial I’ve sent you a msg but I’m not sure that went through.

Still can’t post here so here’s the link to the original review on my personal site. I will try and post it here later tonight.

Weird what browser and device are you using?

I had to uninstall and reinstall chrome a few days ago bc the format of the community was messed up. clearing the cache and data didn’t help but reinstalling the browser fixed everything.

Great review and pics btw

its a 403 error. Chrome on Windows 10 notebook.

Its weird because I can reply but just not create a new post. If I can get to post by Sunday night I’m going to trouble shoot. But I think this may be a programming issue that web admins will have to work on.

I also assumed it was something on their end and finally got tired of waiting for the problem to fix itself. I know it’s a completely different OS but I would try a uninstall/restart/reinstall.

Try using a different browser. It may help

Finally got the review posted to the community. I shared it to Facebook and Twitter. Both Anker accounts tagged.
