$99 not worthwhile. I have a $30 Powercore 26800 plenty of life left, the dual input so 20W its not that much worse than 27W input, in my mind.
Finally a PD PowerCore+!

A couple have recently, the SoundBuds Digital IE10 come to mind (still mean to post my review) but hopefully with feedback vs sales they might bring them within a better price margin…
yep like the turbo is now $30
Can’t even charge a 2016 MacBook Pro
I have had laptops since 1995.
I now buy systems, I think the laptop plus its charger plus portable power, and buy these together and only together. Actually the most important is the charger, because carrying two types is a whole lot of cord.
Anker’s biggest gap is in a unified Wattage shared between all ports in a multi-port charger. They have not to my mind made one.
So what that means is I’m currently tied to a Google Pixel C as my portable laptop but it works really well with practically all of Anker’s current products which cost me about $20-$30.

Good to know.
But that price…
I accept it is a portable charger and a charger, but still.
For me, once my Pixel C outgrows my needs, I’ll probably be getting a USB-C PD laptop, and then most of my needs remain not met by Anker. The primary problem is a true electronic merger in power input to all of the output of a multi-port USB-PD and USB non-PD set of ports. This fundamentally, the lack of this, is a core problem with Anker right now. You are going to carry that supplied USB-PD charger AND a non-USB-PD charger? You are going to carry a USB-PD charger and say a Powerport4? The chargers are where decidedly mediocre innovation is showing.
The Powercore+ 26800, I’m less concerned with, you have a safety upper limit of recharging which you either ignore or “do a Samsung”. The recharge speed problem still remains for all including Anker and its a safety issue.
Waiting…

What exactly are you waiting for?
Came across this review of the PowerCore+ 26800 PD on Amazon. Thought the part about the incompatible cables was interesting. Not sure what he meant by QC… Quick Charge possibly?

That sentence reads to me as “QC” = “Quality Control”

Yep Quality Control. Afterall he complained about his item arriving broken.
I’m an idiot.

Can anyone explain to me where this item went on the website? You cannot find this item in the “High Capacity Portable Chargers” section…unless I am blind.
I see it on Amazon
But I can’t see on Anker.

Don’t read too much into it. Items disappear and reappear all the time.

Powercore+ 26800 w/PD can charge iPad 12.9 really fast! iPad gets a little warm though. Best portable charger I have.it recharged fast also.
Apple charges $50 for 29w charger this pd batt. Includes charger for free!
How fast? From what % to what % in what time.
Anker claims 2 hours.
