Which set of Anker products should I get?

#1

I know that this might not be the best place for this, but I am stuck with two choices.

Choice 1:
Get an Anker Powerline II Lightning Cable (6ft) (for 9.75 with a coupon) and Anker Quick Charge 3.0 39W Dual USB Wall Charger ($25.99)

Or Get an Anker Powerline II Lightning Cable (6ft) (for 9.75 with a coupon) and Anker USB C Charger with USB-C to USB Adapter, PowerPort II, 49.5W Wall Charger (27.74)

btw , I have an iPhone X and an android phone capable of max charging (like the max speed of a Samsung handset).

iPhone X and a Motorola g5 which will probably be upgraded to a Samsung later this year.

I own a PowerPort II and I might be a little biased but I’d say get it. You get a pd port up to 30w and USB port up to 19.5w and the plug is foldable

#6

Ya that’s what I’m leaning toward, but I wouldn’t ever need that extra power since phones can’t go up to 30W input right?

#7

Also, I do have a MacBook Pro, but I won’t be charging it (or any other computer) with any of these chargers.

#8

PowerPort II hands down.

Yea you wouldn’t necessarily need it for a phone. But I think some devices do need 30w, I don’t know which devices those are though. Maybe some small laptops

I have a MacBook Pro, and don’t have any other laptops that support charging from usb-c.

TO be clear there are two products called Powerport II, the Powerport II 2 and the Powerport II with Power Delivery.

So we’re meaning this one:

It is a general purpose charger can do most things well. It has “IQ2” which is a reverse-engineer of Qualcomm Quick Charger, and USB PD, both ports will default with a non/QC/PD to 10W which for example a typical iphone would get but you’d be ready for a couple of interactions of future phone replacements with the headroom of 30W PD which may be useful in a future laptop or tablet as PD is likely the concensus future for all products.

IT is only a fraction more $ than the two mentioned by OP and if you’re not in a hurry it does come down to about $24 in the odd sale.

The one mentioned by the OP is the same thing; it just includes an adapter. On sale right now so cheaper than without the adapter.

Thanks. :slight_smile:

Anker is soon releasing a lighting to USB-c cable. You may want to wait for that and get the anker PowerPort Atom PD 1. They will make an awesome combo.

#15

I pulled the trigger on 2 of them today with the adapter, would have gotten the black version but it was 5 dollars more and no adapter to me it was a no brainer, I went with the white with adapter :laughing:

This is what I would go for out of the two.

BUT, if you are open to other ideas, consider the fusion 5000:

It’s a bit slower than the others, but it has a battery so you don’t really need it to be fast - you can keep it in your pocket or bag and charge while you move :wink: I am crazy about mine:

#17

The lack of usb-c on Fusion and the PowerPort Speed 2 was the deal breaker for me.
I’m betting that usb-c will be the standard thus being a little future prof, and with the adapter you get the best of both worlds.
And the price difference is minuscule.
I’m looking forward to receiving my usb-c to lightning cable later this month can’t wait !!

#18

Truth. They did come out with a USB C fusion this year at CES, but it’s only 15W, which isn’t enough for a laptop, but on the other hand it WOULD charge thos ephones at full speed.

#19

I was only referring to the Fusion you linked to in your post.
But the one with usb-c, only being 15w wouldn’t work for me either as I have a couple of mac’s

PowerDelivery is always a huge plus, especially if you can handle USB-C to USB-C, you will get quicker charge speeds.

#21

IMO none of those, but the reason is because of their new releases. I am assuming you have an iPhone and you’re looking for a cable and wall charger that will charge it fast? If so this is what you should get, https://www.anker.com/deals/ctolightning?search=masterbanner&keywords=1_ctlpre_ankerus_190201

Ditch the charger you posted that has the adapter because Anker released the Lightning to C cable for iPhone and either just buy the charger, without the adapter or https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DJC7J5X?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=ankerweb_a2041master_190212-20

So I don’t understand the difference between the two of these, except that the Speed is cheaper and I think newer, and one has a higher Wattage output. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0721DV7YX/ref=sr_1_10?camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B0721DV7YX&ie=UTF8&linkCode=as2&sr=1-10&tag=ianker-20
