Do you miss passthrough?

#22

I’m pretty sure @AnkerOfficial was just joking about the font.

#23

I see that you changed your name from mmengel… I was getting used to that! :frowning:

#24

huh? what do you mean?

#25

Ok, but why was my post not unflagged? The only reason mentioned was the fonts?

#26

I only registered a few days ago. I don`t know mmengel.

I would use a pass through feature regularly. Primarily I use these batteries while backpacking and my time in towns with access to power is somewhat limited and I don’t usually have access to ‘extra’ stuff like additional USB converters etc to charge my electronics and my brick simultaneously… provided, of course, that if was faster overall to pass through charge multiple devices at a lower rate than charging them successively at higher rate… :joy:

Your described problem, I am very familiar with, of brief access to mains power and wanting to ingest at maximum possible speed.

Buy one of these kits, based on your needs.

Tiny version: Good for low power needs, like ad-hoc phone.

  • Powercore Fusion 5000. One single product recharges your phone and itself. Limitation is its not high wattage, but it is compact.

Small version: Good for a few days between having an overnight recharge option.

  • Powerport2. Recharge the Powercore 1000 below and something else at the same time.
  • Powercore 10000. Advantage is dense energy for small to carry, but it only 2A input so ingests at half the speed of the Medium and Large below.

Medium version: Good for a few days where you need to make best use of a few hours, or where you need to go many days and then an overnight recharge.

  • Powerport 2. Outputs two 2.4A.
  • Either:
  • Powercore II 20000. Input two 2A. So this takes 4A input from the above.
    Or
  • Two Powercore 10000, combined is two 2A input, advantage is its two separate Powercore to allow for Powercore failure.

Large version: Good for even longer off-grid or where you need maximum ingest in a few hours.

  • Powerport 4. Outputs 8A across 4 ports, a max per port of 2.4A
  • Either
    Powercore 26800. Input two 2A. So this takes 4A of the above 8A with two ports left over to also recharge your other devices at the same time.
    OR
    Three Powercore 10000, taking 6A total from the 8A available, one port left over.

I had to get a Ravpower battery pack to use with my Amazon Echo Dot. Pass-thru power allows me to unplug the Echo from the wall and move it to another room without have a loss of power and a subsequent reboot. In effect, it’s a 5v UPS. There are Echo-specific power packs, but they cost 2-3 times more than a 10,000 mAh generic like Anker or RavPower.

I miss pass through. I see the removal of pass through as a step backwards.

Is the pass through done right? Right now the best pass through device from anker is powercore fusion 5000, which the internal battery is not charged until all other devices are charged. This prove that it is not possible to have pass through doen right in previous model.

#37

yes I really miss it and regret to buy Anker when my cheap batteries all has this possibility…

#38

Clearly this is the only truth and any other excuse is just stupid, they will bring back the function after they understand…
