Just wanted to say I received this item the same day I ordered it but the shipping was free which was kinda crazy. That meant that I had it charged up and ready for the next day when the power in our neighborhood was shut off for maintenance. I used it to charge up my phone 2-3 times and it used about 1/4 bars on it. It was charging the phone faster than it was using battery even while the screen brightness was on max and it was streaming music and videos. Very high capacity with fast charging time so I like it so far.

This is my second power bank of this size. Great performance! I charge it using a 21w Anker solar panel. It takes about two full days of sunlight to charge from empty to full. The product came with a small pouch and two charger cables (the two charge ports are supposed to make it charge faster. I have yet to charge it with just one plugged in but with both plugged in, it gets HOT) Enough juice to keep my phone fully charged for five days. Charging from ~30% to 100% every day in about 30-40 minutes.

Before I purchased this power bank I used numerous others and was never happy with them. I've had many chargers that were only good for one to two charges, ones that would would only trickle charge my phone when not in use (or not at all when in use), solar powered chargers, but none were efficient. Then one day I came across this model from Anker on deal, so I snatched it up and I am glad I did. This charger not only has such a high capacity that I can use it for days without worrying about recharging it, but also works amazingly well. This power bank will charge my phone while it's in constant use, and does so very fast as well. I have never drained this bank completely down because of its massive charge capacity, which comes in very handy when the time to recharge it does come. Another great thing about this product is the dual input that allows me to plug two usb cables into it to charge it back up faster than a smaller capacity single input power bank which means less recharge time. As my photo shows, I liked this charger so much that I bought a second one because i was worried about how often I could recharge them while I am traveling, which I currently am at the moment and I have no worries about ever needing to charge my phone, or any other device for that matter. I put the different stickers on the two of them to quickly differentiate one from the other, which makes it quick and easier. The material it is made of is scratch resistant, but it still will scratched, but as long as it works that is no issue for me. It is a little heavier than other chargers I've had, but it's performance that it provides makes it worth the little bit of extra weight. I'd recommend this power bank over and over again, buy one and put your on the go charging woes to rest for good.

I have purchased several chargers from inferior brands and found that they were just that... Inferior. Many of the small, portable chargers broke in no time. They would not keep a charge or provided such a minimal charge that they were virtually useless. They were also very difficult to ascertain if they were fully charged. I have been absolutely thrilled with how well my Anker PowerCore charger works for me. The status lights on it tell me how much or how little of a charge is remaining. I carry it in my job as a ranger. In my backpack, it adds very little extra weight. It is definitely worth it when I'm in a remote section of the park without any other source of electricity.

I used to fly a LOT; I'm talking 100+ flights a year. Many of the airlines have no charging ports or they just don't work. So I bought this as an alternative to depending on the plane. My flights range from 1 to 5 hours typically. This is plenty powerful enough to keep my phone at 100% charge. I usually have wifi access on the plane, so I use it throughout the flight. I also was living on a boat for 4 days. The boat only charged things while it was running. So couldn't charge phone at night or when anchored. During navigation, most the power of the boat went to the navigation aids. So 12 of us fighting over charging ports from the boat made things difficult. I decided to recharge my phone using the Anker battery and it kept my Galaxy S9 alive for the entire 4 days. At one point someone asked if they could use it to charge their iPhone 6. I kept their phone alive for 2 days (they used the boat charging at other times). I carry it in my knapsack all the time. It is part of my travel readiness. Extremely happy with it.

Bought this a few weeks ago so that I could have a legit power bank rather than those little power sticks that barely give your phone 40%. I have charged my android smartphone from 30% or less back to 100% 4 times now and have only used about a quarter of the power bank. It does take quite a bit of time to recharge the bank itself, but if you just leave it double plugged in overnight (maybe like 10 hours?) it should be good to go. The bank is heavy, but that's not a big issue for me. It did come with a little padded drawstring pouch which is great. I purposely waited a bit to leave a review , and I've been loving this power bank! It's so great not having to worry about my phone battery when I have a long day away from an outlet, and the bank really holds its charge!

My best friend introduced me to Anker products and ever since I trust Anker when it comes to getting juice for my devices. Recently I ordered the “Mother Anker” and it seemed fine when i first received it, i charged it overnight and woke up to the last light blinking (which is normal when your portable is about to be done charging). I took it out the charger and because i needed to charge something else. but when i put it back in to for it to fully finish, it started blinking abnormally? I went ahead and restarted the battery but it seemed to not work. I even tried to charge my phone and that did not work either. I hope they could send a replacement 😰 ***UPDATED REVIEW*** I emailed Anker about the issue and they were able to help me get a replacement. The new one they sent is working perfectly well! Customer service was also great! Thanks Anker!

Charging by one cord let me charge it nearly the exact amount of time I was asleep so I wasn't leaving it charging it was compact enough to take it where I wanted and heavy enough that my long cord can plug into it without the pack being pulled off the counter or surface. Bit of a Pro and Con was that it was so cool to someone they stole it from me in my own home while I been super upset about this hopefully sometime next month I can afford to buy it again now that I know who never to let into my place again. For a bit of context I had a great phone that just had near zero battery capacity at 100% full unplugged would black screen after about 30 seconds which is slightly more time then it took me switching the cable from power to battery. I want my stuff to last I do the best I can to take care of things for quite awhile I just hope maybe this helps someone who might need to know these things.

Bought this for a 6 day camping/festival trip to keep 2 phones charged through the week. We made it to the end of day 4 before we needed to juice it back up, which I had expected to happen on day 3. We like it so much that we bought a second one to rotate between the two. The original one we purchased is still going strong, and it’s about 3 years old now being used at least once a week. It is larger than some others out there, but works great for our needs and can charge 3 things simultaneously and still last for days.

This unit is our emergency back-up in case the electric power goes out at home. if we can use our cell phones, tablets, and laptops we'll be MUCH more comfortable during any power outage! The ability to call, text, get information, and be entertained will make the hours seem a lot less stressful. The 26800 has lots of power, and Anker makes high quality products. It's not cheap, but as someone once said, "The quality will be remembered long after the price is forgotten!".
