Anker Power Bank, PowerCore 5000 mAh Portable Charger, External Battery Power Bank, Compact Mobile Phone Charger with Power IQ, Compatible with iPhone 16/15/14/13 Series, iPad, Galaxy and More

I bought this as my iPhone battery was dying and not holding a charge anymore.This ≈10cm charger will let me use my dying iPhone all day and with its small size you almost forget you are carrying it around in your pocket.Although I will have to get my iPhone battery replaced (which Apple have quoted £268 to do) this charger purchased for £13.99 will at least let me continue in the meantime.Charging time for the PowerCore is a couple of hours, it comes with the necessary Micro-USB cable (which you can then also use to charge any Micro-USB device from the PowerCore) but you will need to have your own cables for an iPhone or other devices that do not have the standard D-Shaped Micro-USB port.I would highly recommend purchasing one of these to anyone who has a smartphone or USB chargeable device.

Arrived quickly & works perfectly. Lightweight & small enough to fit in a coat pocket or handbag.

First one broke & wouldn’t charge but customer service is great & they swapped it. Small enough to carry, charges phone like 1.5 times so very handy. Don’t bother with an ipad it just eats power you need something bigger for that.

I purchased the Anker PowerCore 5000 roughly a month ago, in black and find it to be excellent.It’s so neat and robust to look at and feels nice and smooth in your hand. Not heavy at all.It comes with a lead for charging the Powerbank, also, a very useful little bag. All packaged beautifully in a box with instructions.I bought this to take on a trip to Australia with me, to charge my iPhone 6s, plus my iPod Nano, this it did admirably. I wasn’t sure if there would be charging facilities on the planes. There were as it turned out but it’s nice to be prepared.I took it with me on a trip to the mountains also and it did all that I expected it to do, still with power to spare.When it arrived it was about a third charged, so I charged it fully, this took a couple of hours. I then tested it out on my 6s, my iPod and my iPad mini and was pleased with the results, it charged all of them probably from about half way, still leaving plenty of power in the Powerbank.My daughter was very taken with this also, so naturally, doing what Mothers do, I bought her one. She chose the white and said it’s “Brilliant Mum” takes it everywhere. As with mine, fits easily in your bag. In the little pouch provided.I complimented my purchase with an Anker PowerLine +11, foot long lightning cable. This too is an excellent product and one you feel is safe to use with your gadgets and is of high quality.I initially wasn’t sure if I wanted a cylinder type one or a flat one, ideally I would have liked to try the two different kinds. I did have a moment when my “Smartie Tube” one rolled off the seat on the plane and I was wrestling it from the feet of my surprised traveling companion in the row in front. My fault entirely however.Well, I didn’t get to try the two kinds, I chose this type and it’s a little piece of equipment I feel is a definite must have.Would highly recommend this product.

I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation, and I promise that my review is fair and honest.As you can see in the photos, you cannot beat the size for a device with 5000 capacity. It's light and smaller then your average sized wallet.It is super easy to use with an easy to see battery gauge that is very clear and accurate in letting you know how much battery power you have left or what the current charging level is at.Any smartphone user would really benefit from this product and at this point as my phone dies multiple times a day (conversation for a different time), but anyone who has battery issues as I do will love this.I have used over 25 different portable chargers over the years and this is as good or better then the ones I have tried, including charge speed (for non quick charge it is uniquely fast, less then a percent a minute), its durability, and battery life.I keep it with me all day, and I do not feel its weight in my pocket and I even charge it on the go from my pocket to the holster, which is super efficient.The cord is extremely durable and long enough to use even from my pocket, so it is out of mind and still in use. Obviously you ca get any charging cable but its nice to initially have along (but not too long) and a durable one.I have already dropped it numerous times, not a scratch so far it is a really durable piece! very click too!Overall VERY happy with this product, and I highly recommend it for anyone at this price especially.

A classic case of "buy in haste..." I should have checked the details a bit more carefully!I popped this into my basket because I thought it would be a more portable option in certain circumstances than the other power bank I was getting. As it turns out, because of the diameter of it (3cm), I'm actually more likely to take the rectangular phone sized power bank instead. But I can see the cylindrical form factor being handy for stashing into, say, a bag outer pocket, or small pouch. But it's definitely not as slender as the 2000mAh power bank I have. But that's the problem with going for higher capacities! This one will definitely be enough for a full charge for my phone. Also, weirdly, it is about the same weight as the 10500mAh power bank. I would guess (without looking up the details) that this would be something to do with different battery cell types inside...My phone doesn't recognize it as fast charging. It feels sturdy (metal outer casing).I also don't like that it uses a micro usb as it's input. This means I would need to have a separate USB C cable for the phone, rather than being able to use the power bank cable only. But, for any use case I can think of (weekend travel, most likely) I will probably be carrying the phone's mains charger with me, and therefore it's cable, anyway.I will come back for an update if, for example, it stops working.
