Hi, i have just had a quick look at the Amazon listings for the product. The material looks a bit ridged and rough, I am a bit hesitant about this one in case it scratches my devices cos i am not insured.
What is the best power-bank to buy from Anker?
I have it, I’m very happy with my purchase. I saw they have the 10000 PD now, which is even better, but more expensive though

It’s won’t scratch your devices, it’s ridges are there to help it from skipping from your hand. Not sharp at all

Just a texture for extra grip, too fine to be able to scratch devices…
Another very popular topic!
Try power core fusion 2nd gen. Love the 2 in 1 feature.
Unfortunately the iPhone 7 cannot take advantage of Apple fast charging but if you are planning to upgrade your iPhone soon you may want to consider the Powercore pd 10000. It is more expensive but you will be able to charge newer iPhones at 18w.
Yes, it’s on sale at the moment.
I will ask myself what do I need it for? What do you really need to provide power for? Once you have an idea what devices you need then look at the capacity and options. I just got the 26800+ since I was going to buy the Nintendo switch version. I just decided to spend another $30dlls get a USB-C 30 watts wall charger with PD and the bigger battery (but now that I found out that the Nintendo certified uses special PD ratings I hope I don’t regretted witha burn Switch 
)
That sounds like the Sony headphones are getting too much power when your charging them.
Trickle charge is what’s needed.
Power Bank, Anker Astro E1 5200mAh Portable Charger Candy bar-Sized Ultra Compact External Battery with High-Speed Charging PowerIQ Technology.
What about this one guys, I am thinking of replacing my headphones for some noise cancelling in ear phones anyway due to practicality. So i would only need something that doesn’t require to much power and the size seems great but not sure if i should just spend the extra £10 for a bigger faster one!
Maybe try the Power Fusion. It works as both a charger and a power bank. Great value.
I think the 13,000 is a great powerbank.
I think there’s an upgraded version too.
I could use some help in choosing a new Anker power bank. I have an iPad Air 2 and iPhone 7 Plus that I would like to charge at the same time. I will be taking these devices with me on a flight to Prague this summer. So basically I need a power bank with two ports and fast charging, but I prefer something not too large or heavy. Would what you experts recommend? Thank you!
Best deal is the fusion 5000. It’s not fast charging, but it does charge two at once and functions as a wall plug for only $26:
Best fast charge is probably this one. With 20000 mAh (4x as much as the fusion) you can get lots of charges off this thing. It’s also got QC3.0 so it will charge your things as quickly as possible:
Thank you. So you think 5000 mAh is enough power? The 20000 might be overkill and larger. Perhaps a 10000 might be a good compromise?
Well, 5000 mAh isn’t going to fully charge both devices from 0% - with both of those devices combined you have 9300 mAh of battery. So fully charging both would need something like this:
That also have a smaller form factor as well as over 3000 mAh to spare. That’s probably what you’re looking for.
Oh wait, this is the one you want if you have a usb C adapter:
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a USB-C adapter and would I need one for my iPad Air 2 or iPhone 7 Plus? I don’t currently have a USB-C to lightening cable, but just a USB cable that I use to charge these devices.
That power bank charges really fast with a usb-c cable, but if you arent; using any usb c products then probably the other one is best for you:
