Thanks. How did you find it?

The wheel is usually heavier.

6.4oz is the current 10000mAh weight.

Same input (microB) not USB-C,

So waiting on volume, W in, W out.

Some secrets cannot be told… :joy:

The rest of the dimensions are very similar to the original 10000, too.

#45

How is it better?

The obvious is recharge time and the max W output.

#46

And cheaper :crossed_fingers:t2:

The wheel is usually heavier.
[/quote] Maybe not, if it contains two less LEDs in the wheel
Old: 10 LEDs
New: 8 LEDs

Those LEDs weigh a ton…:joy:

Now each LED represents 12.5%?
Sideways innovation at it’s best!

@AnkerOfficial Go back to 4 or 10 LEDs I should not have to be a mathematician to calculate my remaining charge😜

I recall I think it was @bobbleheaderman or @TechnicallyWell told you how but I didn’t learn it.

I have been just going to amazon.com search for anker, then sort by newest and select anker, how are you doing it?

Unless you are going to write a book and charge to buy it, don’t see why you’d hide your method.

Let me guess, when a price appears it will be… $70?

Then the “usual discount” is say $30…?

The lowest price it will get in promotions is $20…?

While the Powercore II 10000 is not updated, the Powercore II 20000 update tells us more about the Powercore II 10000

I do not understand, and possibly also do not believe, the specifications, the volts/amps/weight suggest the “Speed” replacement. It is as if the IQ2 is attemping to be QC but it is not certified to be QC so it quotes the same volts/amps but does not say QC. The weights are too high, they match the Speed products. I do not want to pay for QC, I do not want to lug the weight of QC. The “speed” products are expensive and if you do not have a QC device are therefore a negative.

What does this mean “Rapid Recharge: Top up the battery in as little as 5 hours with PowerIQ 2.0 in the input port.”. What exactly is that? Is it saying I need an IQ2 output charger? What is IQ2 therefore? Is it a proprietary “like QC”?

QC:

QC is not that good, DASH is better

The future is USB-PD, even QC says so

The 12W port would be faster for most things, wouldn’t it?

Do you think by the new sleek designs, and power-core this product will sale:grimacing:

Worried, this can be a step backwards, making Anker worse.

Look at the weights, dimensions. Also these pseudo-QC specifications can backfire, you can get a common denominator negotiation down to something like 5V 2A which is less than 5V 2.4A (2.3A metered) so you could end up with a slower recharge due to an over-ambitious electronics engineer.

So this is inferring to me these are the successor to the Speed products which cost a lot more, are slower in some situations, weigh more and physically larger. If you own a QC device you may be interested, but half of Android and all of Apple fans will do a big
