Best bank for Samsung s9

#1

Hi all,

I have a Samsung s9 and I’m wondering which power bank to get. I want to be able to charge 2 devices at once, I want quick charge for my device, I’d like to get at least 4 charges out of the bank before recharge, and I’d like the power bank to recharge within 6 hours.

I’m looking at the PowerCore II 20000 and the PowerCore Speed 20000 and they’re the same price. Which one is better??

They’re practically identical. PowerCore II 20000 is newer and uses PowerIQ 2.0 instead of obtaining Qualcomm’s certification for Quick Charge 3.0. They both charge at the same rate, though. The main difference is in the design. Also, PowerCore II 20000 is ever so slightly heavier.

Personally, I would choose PowerCore II 20000 because the materials are nicer and the LED power indicator is more precise.

I ja e the powercore II 20000 and love it, it works great to fast charge my S10e and my wifes S9

I choose neither. I’d go for something PD compatible with Type-C

While the s9 can fast charge with a pd charger, it cannot take full use of it and it would be an added expense if the op cannot take advantage of it for his other devices

I just prefer using type c and one type of cable also it doesn’t hurt to future-proof :grin:

Yeah, I was going to recommend one, but the problem is that Anker doesn’t offer any in the 20000 mAh range that would fast charge the S9 via USB-A (for some reason PowerCore+ 19000 PD is incompatible with that particular device).

Cool, a battle between @AnkerOfficial and @Tank :joy:
