For years, I had a small but durable power-bank. I loaned it to my sister during a trip, and it was confiscated during a transit through the PVG airport. The reason? It did not have a label or a clear identification.
I wasn’t in a hurry for a replacement. I had the opportunity to use the Samsung Power Bank, which was durable and worked remarkably well. Still, I was looking for something lighter and more economical.
When I looked into the top players in the market, the Anker brand had come up on numerous occasions as a strong recommendation.
After reviewing the options, I decided on the Anker PowerCore 10400 Portable Charger.
Easy to Use
It’s a simple power bank, and one of the things I like is that there is a light indicator to let you know of how much power is left in the device. For my first charge, it took a about an hour and a half to fully charge my iPhone.
If you need a power bank with more hours of battery life, the Portable Charger Anker PowerCore 20100mAh is another option (it allows you to charge up to 92 hours). I didn’t have that need, so I simply opted for the basic version.
Do you have a particular portable power bank that you’re a big fan of?
Monkey Miles just posted about using your Amex Business Dell credits to buy Aluratek power banks. They may not be Anker but with the credit, they’re free.
Anker is great but the charger part will poof out and can’t charge after a year or so. Rav portable is similar to the Anker but the battery is better and charging part doesn’t fall apart.
