Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this with my own cash, of my own free will, and I was not compensated for this review. I waited for AGES before buying a battery bank. I never found all the features I wanted in one unit... until this one. The features were: - INSANE capacity (I wanted 20,000 mAH or more, this one is 26,800 mAH) - Qualcomm QuickCharge support (this one supports QC 3.0 on the Green port) - Med-High Amperage charging on all ports (Each port can push up to 3A) - BONUS: Quick recharging of the power bank itself (Supports Qualcomm QC for input charging) Three words cover it: THIS THING ROCKS! Some might find the unit a bit heavy, but for me, that means build quality and capacity as-advertised. Quality 18650Li cells are not light, so you can tell you're getting the advertised capacity, where other packs skimp on cheap cells that lose capacity quickly over time. This unit is packed with solid charging goodness and does not disappoint. It has a nice feel to it with what looks to be an anodized aluminum metal casing with recessed plastic endcaps. Classy and Professional. The included carry-pouch seems well-made, well-ventilated, and is slightly spongy, which helps with minor bumps and making sure the casing doesn't get dinged up. It also has enough extra space in the pouch that I can bring the included charger and my universal USB cables along for the ride. The charge indicator button is divided into 10% increments, which I find extremely helpful as most powerbanks only have 4-5 LEDs, leaving you to guess in 20-25% increments how full the bank is. On this unit, I can tell if I have 1 or 3 charges of my phone left in the tank, and that matters A LOT! All the Qualcomm QC devices I've tried (Note 4, Note 7, S7 Edge, Galaxy S3) have all recognized the QC support and charged as well as they did off their factory QC chargers on AC power. Roughly, that translates to 80% charging in 45 minutes (QC screenshot attached). Using my Kindle Paperwhite I confirmed USB current draw of 500mA with no problem, as expected. Then I plugged in my sister's collection of iWidgets and saw 3A pulls on all ports simultaneously, as advertised. After full charges of all the devices, I checked their rated battery capacities against the charging indicator and noted that the Powercore's indicator was pretty close to dead-on with how much power should have been consumed by the charging cycles. The Powercore+ 26800 can get a bit warm when QuickCharging with the included AC adapter, but that is to be expected. At no point did I ever consider it to be "hot". Advertised QuickCharge time was about right, and slow charge off a 2A charger also seemed correct to the 30% mark (by the indicator lights), before I got impatient and QC'd it the rest of the way so I could actually get back to using it again! In conclusion, in no way am I disappointed with my purchase, and that does not surprise me coming from Anker. Everything promised was delivered with style and professionalism, and at I price I consider to be reasonable for the feature-set. Sure, cheaper 20,000mAH units are out there, but they are just that... cheap. They charge slow, the usable capacity is over advertised, and they look like rejects from a comic book. You definitely get what you pay for.
