ANKER Prime 27650mAh (250W) PD 3.1 Power Bank - Black

Awesome battery bank for the size.
A small brick but very handy to charge a laptop and other devices at the same time.

I use to import and sell li-ion cells and I would struggle to put together one of these at these specs for the price. I could have a far higher spec'd one manufactured but the retail cost would be substantially more.
These are great bang for buck.

The soft felty bag is a bit of a dirt magnet when you carry it outdoors. But that's not the device itself. Awesome battery bank for the size.

Solid build and solid performance just don't expect to carry it in your pocket. Yes, it's expensive and yes, it's value for money. This is a high performing piece of equipment for anyone wanting assurance that their mobile devices away from home will continue to be useful when power points are few and far between. The app works very well and if you're a person that likes to look after your lithium-ion batteries then it's easy to keep the charge on your Anker Power Bank between 20% and 80% using the app and still have a decent capacity to run your devices. Even without the app, the screen display is informative and easy to read. Do your...view more Solid build and solid performance just don't expect to carry it in your pocket.

Edit (addition): I noticed that the percent left dropped about 1% per week when not used. My problem was that I didn't realise I had to hold the button down for a few seconds to turn it off. Now it does not lose when not used.

I first plugged this in and saw that is was going to take 20 hours to charge, so I plugged it into a macbook charger - and still 20 hours, so I tried a ipad air charger and viola! down to 70 minutes.

I guess Anker want you to buy the charging base that the terminals on the bottom are for.

Now that I have the right charger, it's a great device.

The tasty looking display shows you % charged and how much juice is being drawn in watts.

Definitely not a cheap power bank, but it does have a good capacity and it is very fast.
The speed you can charge the devices would depend on the devices themselves, but to me the most useful thing is to be able to recharge the powerbank quickly.
I tested out charging from my very fast USB charger, the Anker Prime power bank reported 140w charging speed. I charged up a couple of devices and got the power bank down to 38%, then I plugged in the charger and saw the reported 140W charging, I checked on it after 25 minutes and the power bank was at 100% charge already. 38% - 100% in less than 25 minutes sure beats the first powerbank that I bough...view more Definitely not a cheap power bank, but it does have a good capacity and it is very fast.

Would I recommend this power bank? Well, only to people that don't mind paying a lot of money to have a top quality device. If the price doesn't put you off then this is a great power bank that can be recharged super fast.

Charging your laptop and your phone was a game changer to me ! Excellent to use on a business trip. Charging your laptop and your phone was a game changer to me ! Excellent to use on a business trip.

Overall, this power bank exceeds my expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable, high-capacity mobile charger.

Whilst not a slim power bank, that's not the point of this. Ample charge for small devices. Recommended. Whilst not a slim power bank, that's not the point of this. Ample charge for small devices. Recommended.

I have use this for my 2 days holiday and it able to last 2 days without changing. Base on my experience this is a great product if you just want to charge basic things like phone then it will be good enough. But if you want to changing you macbook then you should get the bigger version. Also I noticed that it abit heavy compared to other alternatives.

Easily powers all my devices all day long. Really happy with it. Easily powers all my devices all day long. Really happy with it.

It s a nicer product,which has a wonderful design, I am using it to charge my digital devices everyday, it also can tell you how much watt going through the competiable devices on devise on display and tells how long will the portable power bank be fully charged. However, it looks a little bit bulky in your hands and heavy in your bag. You still feel a comfortable grip while touching or handing it as it has a anti slippery aluminum design on three sides. I highly recommend if someone who are interested in power banks products for your needs charging any digital devices, which are phones, tablets and laptops, etc. It s a nicer product,which has a wonderful design, I am using it to charge my digital devices everyday, it also can tell you how much watt going through the competiable devices on devise on display and tells how long will the portable power bank be fully charged.
