Which set of Anker products should I get?

#11

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:

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 !!

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

aw, I wish I would have seen this earlier, oh well, you would be saving yourself money and you would get better/newer products. Sry

#23

Oh yeah not for the macs, but for @Pat_Legend , who only mentioned the phones in the OP, it would work. I like my Anker Speed 20000 for powering my laptop at 30w. it comes with the wall charger and c to c cable too.

It’s 'spensive though.

#24

what coupon are you using for the Powerline II Lightning Cable?

#25

Oh man I’m definitely gonna try to get the PowerCore Fusion 5000 before my next trip. So I’m gonna keep an eye on it

It should be the 3rd deal. :slight_smile:

The first link is to the 49.5w charger with 30w/usb-c and 19.5w usb and is $27.74 with adapter, the second link is actually only 42w charger with 30w/usb-c and 12w/usb and is $25.99 with no adapter and 7.5w less usb output.

What makes it Bad is Amazon linking the second unit as a New version to the white 49.5w charger which is actually 42w unit, But the Black 49.5w charger New version link is to the White 49.5w charger with adapter, which is a little misleading and could possibly be missed by some folks.

Right. It’s sooo confusing. One just seems to have a higher wattage. I dunno amazon linking things as “newer version” is bs

#29

Which cable exactly? Install coupon cabin or honey and they will auto add coupons at checkout

#30

I wouldn’t bother buying one, I would pre order the C to lightning.
