First let me say that this is the best portable charger I have ever used but it comes with a number of caveats. Let’s start with the good.
Pros:
1. Battery is huge and it charges devices quickly without draining too much of the battery. I can charge my iPad Pro twice as well as my phone and my headphones and still have some juice left over.
2. It is reasonably portable - for long trips on planes or cars you can chuck it in your backpack and it will last you the whole trip - it is fantastic in this way.
These are, in my opinion, the most important aspects of this device, and functionally it works perfectly - but buyers need to know somethings about it before deciding to go with this model.
Cons:
1) It is very large and very heavy. This noticeably weighs down my backpack and is not a device that you will be carrying around in your pocket or a smaller bag (such as a handbag). Anker does, however make smaller options so I would advice you to look at those if you are planning to carry the charger on your person at all times - I, myself, have a smaller battery back (10000 mah) which comfortably fits in the inside pocket of my coat for on-person charging.
2) It takes an age to charge. This is an unfortunate side effect of the battery size and the fact that it uses micro-usb to charge. In order to charge fully it requires an overnight charge with two Micro-USB cables plugged in. I would have much preferred if they had included a USB-C port to allow for charging of the device and of USB-C devices (such as the iPad Pro with its USB-C to USB-C cable) as well as faster charging for the battery pack.
So, if you are looking for a battery pack which is lighter and fits in a pocket or a small bag - this may not be for you but there are plenty of fantastic alternatives from Anker and other suppliers. If you are looking for something which can charge a laptop, an iPad and a phone all in one, that you want for travelling or that you don’t mind lugging around - you cannot do better than this.

I did note other comments about battery life, so when I use mine, I let it completely discharge and then I put the Anker PortaPower to use again. But boy was I impressed with how long this PortaPower lasted!! Like I used my iPhone attached to the PortaPower a lot over about five days and it kept my iPhone charged - Wow, it is good and does deserve those five stars.
I’ve only had my Anker PortaPower for a couple of weeks. But at dusk, I put it on charge with the two enclosed charger wires. Then in the morning all four blue lights are visible.
Cost wise it’s not that bad at about 87.00 CDN dollars considering the value of having my iPhone keep going. Hell Ya, no regrets in cost versus value my friends.
For functions, one button makes things easy for my brain to operate the Anker PortaPower. I do like the option of having three USB ports to be able to plug in other accessories like my USB LED light and my iPad while operating the iPhone. Lol no USB printer yet, but I’m sure one is out there.
Did I mention that it was big? Well to put your Anker PortaPower in your pants pocket; you sure hope this big fella doesn’t catch your little fella on fire. Consumers hear so much about batteries spontaneously igniting and causing fires. Well so far, the Anker PortaPower keeps “warm” but not hot. My last portable battery got hot in my pocket. I should also add that Anker has enclosed a nice fabric case to put your charging cord plus the Ankor PortaPower into while transporting it around (in your pocket maybe??). Anyway, in the fabric case the user does not notice any heat from your PortaPower.
Yes, a great little piece of technology that really helps me out every day keeping my busy iPhone going- LOVE IT!
