This is up for a drawing this week!

Might also consider prying the prongs apart just a bit so thereā€™s more tension while plugged into a socket.
Concur on the great review - love the thoroughness and detail. I am more akin to lean on 10k+ capacity, so the new Fusion has my interestā€¦ but this review is still so valuable with much of the content being equally applicable!

Looks like the old 5k one, not the 10k.

Still not a bad prize :smile:

One of these is up for POWERDRAW This week:

how about using this product as a daily charger for iPhone? is it will damage our battery?

No harm can come.

I am actually still using this product regularly - it would a a fine daily charger for the iphone.

One thing to remember, though, is that it wonā€™t charge the newest iphones as fast as they can possibly take a charge. Youā€™ll need a more modern charger for that. Hereā€™s an updated version with power delivery:

That will take the USB-C charger cable that comes with the latest iphone. Of course, any lighting cable will work with any iphone, but this would deliver a faster charge than the original fusion (which is still the best anker product in history:)

I actually decided to get out the meter and test it just for fun. This is my brand new iPhone 12 plugged in to the Fusion 5000 with a power meter attached:

Itā€™s only pulling ~4W because the phone is basically fully charged right now. But the Power IQ in this charger should be capable of 12W when the phone is depleted. The iPhone 12 is capable of ingesting 20W, and you would get that speed from most (not all) USB-C chargers.

In any case, Iā€™m not at all concerned about using this fusion 5000 with my new phone. Iā€™ve also used it with several others (Iphone 6s, Galaxy S9+, Moto Z Force Edition) without any adverse results.
