AnkerPrime Power Bank, 27,650mAh 3-Port 250W Portable Charger for Travel, TSA-Approved, Smart App, for MacBook Pro/Air, iPhone 16/15/14 Series, Samsung, Laptops, and More (Charging Base Not Included)

I take this thing everywhere with me when I know I will need more than just a boost on my phone, for shorter trips I take my smaller Anker charger. This is a must have for one or two night trips, especially if traveling by plane or train, even car. I can charge my phone a iPhone 15 Pro Max a few times with it as well as my apple watch ultra 2. If my wife and I take a one or two day trip somewhere this is the first thing that is packed, then I only need to bring one power adapter and a two cables. I generally will charge this during the day when we are out and about exploring where we are at so that by the time we get home at night it is ready to go. The design is nice and looks great. I use the provided carry bag that came with it everytime I travel with it in order to limit scuffs and scratches but also to put all my charging cables in one spot.Things to note:-Depending on the power adapter you are using to charge this it can take awhile. Luckily the screen shows exactly how much time is remaining until it is fully charge.-Weight, it is quite stout but for me the extra weight is well worth the extra charging capacity-The app is useful but not a necessity. I only use the app really when I want to check for an update to the device or to set one of the USB-C ports to be input only.So far I have had this charger for 8 months and use once a week at least, sometimes even in my own home so that I can sit somewhere that isn't near an outlet.I did not get the charging base for this as it didn't seem like a need for me. I think if I was on the go more and needing to charge things more often I would get it for my desk so that the battery is ready to go all the time. But until then I am fine just plugging it in as needed.

For me, this was just what I was looking for. Over many years, I had "collected" a wide variety of chargers and cables for all manner of devices. However, with the recent adoption of USB-C I found myself slightly behind the curve.This device provides not one but 2 essential devices. The first is a small yet solid base with 2 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port. I use it daily to charge my tablets and all manner of other things. This portable charger with a plethora of ports and a fantastic display that shows you exactly the status of devices being charged. I splurged on the $14 protective case with a handle, which was a good thing as I dropped it the very first time I used it. The battery size of the portable section is amazing, and can charge multiple devices at the same time, while you can see the status of each device as it charges, which is extremely helpful.In the last year, I have adopted Anker as my go-to supplier for all things charger related and I will only use Anker cables ever since I read about cheap cables possessing malware. Google it, it's a real thing.I could not be happier with my purchase of another great Anker product, and I truly believe you won't be disappointed.

I was hesitant to buy this as it was a little pricey although reasonable for what you get, the power source and charging base as well as the portable battery. Given the capacity it’s a descent size and weight as you can charge multiple devices multiple times on a single charge. Solidly built with multiple USB ports, both USB-a and Usb-c. All in all, I haven’t purchased or used a Anker product I did not like.

I travel a lot. Flights, airport layovers, rental cars, customer facilities, etc. you never know if you’re going to be away from a power outlet for longer than expected and it excels over anything else I’ve owned in many ways.1. It charges up in an hour. Unlike some that take overnight.2. You can charge it while you have another device charging from it which is phenomenal.3. I have connected it to two laptops at once and it displays the charge rate for each device.4. It’s built like a tank and looks amazing. I’ve had people compliment it.5. 2 USB-C and one USB 3.0 port works for everything.6. All three can be used at the same time and do not share power or split power. Each port is full power.7. Bluetooth app is beautifulJust buy it. Only complaint I have is that I didn’t buy a bigger one. Laptops are hungry

NOTE: I learned how to do a hard reset of the battery, which was successful, and the battery now functions normally. I am upgrading the review to four stars. I'm now satisfied with the battery's performance, having recharged a MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and two iPhones on a single battery charge with 40% of the Anker battery's charge remaining._____________________Purchased this battery six months ago. Currently, when charging an iPhone 16 Pro with the Powerbank at 100%, the Powerbank will charge the iPhone until the Powerbank's charge drops from 100% to 90% and then plunges to zero.Recharging it with a USB-C cable and an Apple 20W charger, the Powerbank recharges at a rate of about 1% per minute, an unrealistic rate of charge for this type of battery chemistry. I've tried to condition the battery by charging it to 25% or 50% and then discharging it, with the same result. The Powerbank's charge drops about 10% and then plunges to zero.This battery is too expensive to put up with this and I advise avoiding it.
