What do you take with you?

#38

I usually take my PowerCore 5000 to work daily and sometimes to church. I have my Samsung phone and my Nokia phone almost always with me.

I always have my PowerCore 20100 with me. Outstanding portable charger.

So you said leave for the day so that’s like a typical work days? I am usually carrying a laptop with is 19V input so its power supply, and usually just a phone and BT headphones. To keep the phone working for the worst possible day then I carry the Powercore 10000 as it has the most power for weight/volume and would do for the worst day, and then also carry the Powercore Slim 5000 in case the 10000 were to go bust. I carry the Powerport 2 and a USB-C and USB2 cable.

Less typical days I’d just traveling with just my phone and only my pockets and then I carry just the Slim.

Even less typical I’m moving around aiports, hotels and i find I prefer to not have laptop and just move around with a large Tablet. Then I tend to carry the Powerport 5 USB-C to charge my tablet+phone+battery+BT and then carry also both the 10000 and 5000 for same reasons (a bit of redundancy and can charge them both concurrently for 4A of input).

I’m getting delivered the new Powercore 26800, not sure what I’m going to do with that. I have had the odd day where I was flying a long flight and the in-power seat was broken/missing and I had drained all of my 15000mah and was then slowly running down my internal gadget power but never actually ended up with evething flat. To handle that situation getting worse I’m not sure what I might do, either add another Powercore 1000mah or the Powercore 26800mah. Its a weight vs worst-day-possible situation.

Thoughts?

Airline pilot here - I fly long haul international and I lug around a MacBookPro, iPad, iPhone, a Samsung camera and sometimes a couple of GoPros. I always have 5-6 Anker cables with me, plus 2 in each car at home. My favorite is a 6ft braided lightning cable. I get them in the bright colors, since they are hard to miss when I’m packing up in my hotel rooms. White and black blend in to bed sheets and desktops too easily, but lime green and red, not so much. :wink:

PowerCore 26800 - Always in my backpack

I bring my PowerCore+ 10050, Anker Braided Nylon Micro USB, Galaxy S6, iPad Mini, and skullcandy headphones! For longer trips, I bring my camera backpack with all the rest of my tech toys.

On a normal day: LG g4, iPhone 5s, an anker battery, and wireless headphones. When flying, add an hp stream and my work laptop.

I’m currently a student, so I always keep my devices up using a Anker 20,000mAh Portable Charger, a Anker 13,000mAh 2nd Gen Astro Portable Charger, and a assortment of Anker cables. The cables I carry are 2 3 foot long PowerLine+ micro usb cables, and 1 that’s 1foot. There are times, when I am able to keep my devices powered up for 3-4 days without plugging either charger into a socket, or charging them.

Do you mean all tech in general. I’m assuming that you are not really including accessories. You should either have iPad Mini 2 or 4, not 3. why waste your money on that $100 touch id sensor (that’s literally all apple added with that iteration). :frowning:

Personally, I have a 4-6 inch cable for charging my phone with my power bank in my pocket. It’s great and handy. (AmazonBasics)

I have two sets of tech: work/heavy rec and light rec.

The first consists of my huge Chrome bag and has 2 laptops with chargers, anker power core mini, Powercore 10000, a half dozen charging cables and an array of keys and cards. Total weight is about 20lbs.

The lighter rec bundle has a slimmed down card folio wallet, a Powercore mini plus, a very short micro USB cable, a small vacuum sealed pack with bandaid, tissues and a few other essentials in a satchel. Total weight around 4 pounds.

Today I’m traveling for business and I have:

  • OnePlus3T with its DASH charger
  • Google Pixel C. It is a 3A 5V input.
  • Anker Powerport4, it is a 2.4A max output but not far off the maximum input for the Pixel
  • One 5ft PowerLine+ USB-C for the Pixel to the Powerport.
  • Two short Soundbuds MicroB with the Anker MicroB USB-C adapters
  • short generic Anker MicroB
  • Anker Soundbuds Lite
  • Anker Powercore 26800

Mechanically the issue is distance from the wall socket. It varies between being right next you and a typical 3-5ft USB cable is sufficient, but if it isnt then you either have to much longer USB cable, or go with Powerport5, or bring an extension cable, or bring a big Powercore and take opportunity of any wall sockets. In this current trip I’m doing the last method.
