I need a newer power bank to replace the previous Anker powercore i had and thought best to go for another Anker brand. Must say the 2 main reasons for my decision was due to my past experience with their products being great as well as their customer service when things didn't go well with the items ordered.
The charging brick for the powecore essential 20000 I got in the package would not charge it, even after trying multiple outlets and ensured the cable was connected properly. I then tried using the charging brick with my iPhone and it charged just fine but for some reason it just would not charge the powercore it came with in the order.
I reached out to Anker and I got a response within hours. Two emails later and they agreed to send another charging brick to have my issue resolved. After receiving the new charging brick everything works as it should now. Even though both the Anker iQ charging bricks look exactly the same, the older one just won't charge the powercore. This little charging brick is really something for it's size, easily fits into your pocket or purse and it provides really quick charging. it charges my iPhone XR alot faster that the regular adapter and my iPad the same as the 18W adapter it came with which is alot bigger.
Key things to note:
- The adapter is only USB Type-C supported, Your old charging cables wont work with it
- The powercore can charge 2 items the same time (1 USB type-C and the regular Type-A)
- The charging speed of the powercore is exceptional, just as you would get a charge from the wall outlet.

Great charger on the go.
Very happy with this purchase. I own several Anker products and none of them have disappointed me so far. Fully charged I have been able to recharge my iPhone X 5 times, which is amazing. Most of my friends now ask me for my external charger when we are out and about and I don’t have to be worried to share. Highly recommend it to anyone that’s on the go a lot and doesn’t want to be tied to a wall power outlet.
