Bought a competitor battery bank (Aibocn 10,000 mAh PC-6000), and it would not charge 0.3A max Bluetooth earbud; presumably because it draws amperage under a minimum threshold. Will the PowerCore 20100 work with low draw usb devices?
Low amp draw on PowerCore 20100
M ost batterypacks will turn off when trying to charge a low draw device. What you need is one of Ankers batterypacks that have trickle charge mode, this will allow you to charge low draw devices without the pack turning off on you
Anker PowerCore 10000 Redux has trickle charge
Anker PowerCore Lite 10000mAh also has trickle charge

In addition to @elmo41683 excellent reply, you can also find a smaller Powercore like the Mini has a low cut off current so you only need to press the power button for a few minutes to get to fully charged, and you can go with a multiple port Powercore and connect additional device to keep the circuit alive like a phone
The upcoming soon Fusion 10000 also has trickle charger but can’t tell if you’re in USA

I’m have to get one of the trickle chargers. I’ve had this issue with many devices and never knew there was a solution!
Just when I thought I had all the batteries I needed…
Are these the only two devices that do this? I sense a need to do some metering on what I have. I’ve always had more than one device plugged in when charging low draw devices, come to think of it.
Of Ankers new recent devices there may be more, those two were just the Ones that came to mind as I have power core Lite and it works great to just charge Bluetooth headsets and earphones
As @nigelhealy pointed out some smaller batterypacks will stay on until it nears 50 to 60 percent charge and then it cuts out
More like 90% and keep pressing power button for say 3 minutes to keep it going to 100%. I done that for years.
