Taking Charging To The Future

#9

60W charger was promised by Anker. It appeared on Amazon for a brief time, but is not currently available.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M19TP4H/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&sr=1-10&tag=ianker-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B01M19TP4H&keywords=iPhone+6+Charger&qid=1496250367&kwr_id=1010

Where does it say the 6ft USB-C is compatible with 60W? Nowhere. That’s because it’s only USB 2.0. They only have one c to c cable that’s 3.1 (and compatible with 60W) and it’s only 3 feet - also quite a steep price at $16. Sure, phones and tablets don’t need 60W, but many laptops do.

No, I am not talking about the PowerCore II 10000. It’s big for what it offers and doesn’t feature PD or even USB-C. I am talking about a new product.

As far as the II 20000, yes, it’s still big and heavy. I would recommend sticking with 10000 if you can. If you do however decide you want Anker 20000, it is on sale today for $33.49 ($10.49). Use the Amazon link below in conjunction with the code ANK3USB2 if you’re interested.

@AnkerOfficial Thank you for this article. When I first heard of the USB C PD, I was like, what’s the big deal? Isn’t just USB C? My GoPro Hero5 Black uses USB C so what’s the big deal? But now… I understand that PD is not just another name for the already existing USB C. If I get this article correctly, PD is similar to what the Quick Charge is for Android phones. Meaning that PD would only really be useful for “most” devices right now, IF the device is compatible with PD…otherwise, it charges at the same rate as a regular USB C cable. I guess PD is still too fairly new to the market and wouldn’t really be useful until the production of devices with PD capabilities are implemented.

Anywho, thank you for the clarification. I’ve been meaning to find out the difference but you beat me to the punch. :slight_smile: Again, Anker is at the head of the game. Well done Anker.

Yeah, the old 30w and 60w charger was quickly pulled out from their store after a senior reviewer found a problem with their charger. I think they’re working on getting the spec right this time with the 30w charger first.


this 6ft braided usb3 does include chromebook pixel as compatible device. and only the 87w macbook is not compatible. Though they didn’t said specifically that it support 60w.

I know that you’re talking about new product when you speak of a 10000mah PD pack. But I think anker is going to use powercore II design from now on. There is a lot of corner to cut if they want to make smaller battery pack like xiaomi counterpart and I think it would affect the cell and the circuitry as well.

Thank you for the link. However I have bought a xiaomi 10k gen 2 which seem to be pretty nice, but I dont know how long the pack last though. I bought it for ~$14. they also have better version with usb C as well for ~$28.
Link to a Vietnamese website though as US website does not come up first in my google search

The slim wasn’t making many compromises. It was one of the few times Anker has innovated in the last year.

Thank you all for your patience and constructive feedback, we know we have some big shoes to fill. So thank you to everyone who has been so supportive over the years, and likewise, thanks to those who have given us pointed feedback on all areas of the product.:blush:

15" so 87w needed.
Also not sure the usb c cable is capable of delivering power with enough amp?

#20

Do you think this one will be able to?
