Depends on how you charged it, took me about 4 hrs, I charged with the USB-C PD from Atom 4 PD.
The lights seem almost good, easier for the 0-25-50-100% indication,

I got a Type A and a Type C ones. I’d not necessarily recommend as they’re over a year old and tech moves along. If I’m heading into a long off-grid experience I check with a meter, mostly to weed out bad cables. One of the bundled Anker C-C cables was bad near one connector, so it does happen and you need to test before relying.
My car has 2 USB ports but they are SLOW

Mine seem to be ok, not sure on the specs though.
Slower than my home chargers obviously.

I think mine is 1A. That’s why I rather use a car charger

Yeah I did some feedback to a transport company who asked did we want USB sockets, I said no as the technology changes too fast.
1A was fine 5 years ago.

@AnkerOfficial thanks again for the unexpected generosity.
The 20000 PD will likely replace my November 2016, over 3 year old, 26800 as my home based backup power, it is a tad bulky for me to carry, I am usually fine with 10000 with me.
The dual 18W car charger, I own already, don’t need it, I’ll donate but I already asked around and none need it, they don’t own USB-C cabled devices (yet). So it is in its box til I find a home, which will happen eventually, say if someone gets a new iphone or a newer Pixel.
In terms of maximum generosity effectiveness, I recommend you give folks either an Anker or an Amazon credit so they can buy what they like. That way you are as generous in $ terms you are wishing to make and folks can get best-fit to their needs.

Thanks @professor
I also tried the PD port of 5 port desktop charger and usb c port of powerport atom III slim
Both were showing to provide 15.1 V and 0.30 A (about 4.5 watt). I am not able to charge essential 20000 with more than 4.5 watt, no matter what I do.
I also have a Aukey powerbank with usb c in/out and it was taking in over 14 watts of power using the same cable (that came with Essential 20000)
It is becoming very obvious to me that there is something wrong with the charging circuit of essential 20000 that I have.
I guess I will write back to Anker about this and see if they could possibly replace my powerbank. @AnkerOfficial

Finally got it to work correctly using Anker PD/usb c chargers. It is taking in about 12 watt (still shy of claimed 18 watt but for now this is good). Aukey PD charger is still not working (definitely there is some incompatibility with Anker vs Aukey PD charger). This should not happen since PD is a uniform standard???

You look to have the same meter as me, if so there is a dongle that your suppose to plug into the micro usb port for it to register proper usb c to usb c and power delivery output
