Anker Nano Power Bank With USB-C Connector

Overall: Good quality and convenient, but a little bulky. Recharge capability is sufficient if you need something to get you through the occasional emergency you’ll be happy. However, there is not enough power to fully recharge a large phone from 0% to 100%.

I bought 2 of these and have used them on a Samsung S9, Samsung S23, and various earbuds.

Speed: “Fast charging” is supported but that term is relative to your phone, usage, max wattage, and battery size. For simple reference, it takes a little over an hour to recharge a Samsung S23 from 0% to 64%.

Reserve power: Do not expect this to recharge your phone from 0% to 100% on a single charge but a 60+% recharge is reasonable.

Physical notes:
Roughly 2x as thick as a typical phone.
There is 1 male usb-c out swivel jack and 1 female usb-c in/out jack.
The swivel jack is convenient but its awkward due to the bulk of the battery. When plugged into the swivel jack your phone will not lay flat and the rounded bottom of the battery prevents it from being used as a vertical stand, seems like a missed design opportunity.
There is a side usb-c jack as well but using that requires you to carry a cable (included in the box).
It is possible to charge 2 devices at once but the battery drains so fast when doing that you will get better results if you charge them separatey.

NOTE: A USB-C to USB-C cable is included but it does NOT include a wall charger. You will need to provide your own.

Anker support: EXCELLENT. I was contacted by Anker after posting my original review. In my original review I posted a 50% average power gain, this was incorrect, I retested several times and gains were 62%-64% every time. I had hoped for a 100% recharge but I have since learned that is an unrealistic expectation for a battery bank of this size.
Anker proactively took the time to explain what power gains should be expected during a recharge and how much power gets lost during the charge process. They offered to refund my purchase if I was unhappy but I declined. I am happy with this power bank and now I am also better educated. Unbelievably excellent customer service by Anker!

 I bought these battery packs for my vacation to NYC, and I’ve been using them almost every day for over six months now.

Why I love them:

-Small, lightweight, and easily portable.
-Perfect for emergencies.
-More convenient than carrying a large power bank and cable.
-Adaptable to most electronic devices.
-Each pack holds enough charge to get by in a pinch.

My only gripe is that they don’t fully charge all devices, but I don’t think that’s their primary purpose. They charge my iPhone 14 Pro about halfway, which is plenty when I’m on the go. For a full charge, I bring two of them because they’re so portable.

These packs are extremely handy. I keep them in my bags, my car’s glovebox, and use them on trips or when I don’t want to be tethered to a cable.

I recommend buying several and keeping them charged. They’re perfect for nights out, and I no longer worry about cables. When a friend needs a charger, I just hand them one of these.

You won’t realize how much you dislike charging your devices with a cable until you try these battery packs. They free you from being stuck next to a charging dock, allowing you to stay on the move while your devices charge.

I keep one of these with my iPad in case I need to top the charge off while I’m away from home. It’s also a very convenient way of topping off the charge on your iPhone. The small size the convenience and portability make this a no-brainer. You should get one or two or three.

Works really well. I little heavy but still small and easy to carry. It fits with my heavy duty protective case which was a concern. Like that it does not need a cable to charge and that it’s the same width as my phone

Update Review:
Customer service is great! Totally deserves another star!

Design is great looking, but overall is not as functional as I want. It’s really loose when you plug in the charger into your phone, and it wiggles a lot. If you want to play game while using this charger, you’ll have hard time holding both because it’s so loose! It does charge fast, but it also drains fast. I fully charge this portable charger, but my 50% battery phone can suck it all up in less than 30 minutes. It’s really drains fast compared to a similar size portable charger from a different brand.

La powerbank è davvero compatta e robusta, ha una discreta capacità di carica, circa una carica e mezza di un Samsung s23 ultra.
La particolarità di questo caricatore portatile è il fatto di avere un piccolo connettore tipo C già integrato, così da non avere l’ansia di scordare il cavo e quindi non poterlo utilizzare.
La ricarica veloce funziona solo collegando un cavetto tipo C esterno ( cè un ingresso apposito ), mentre con quello integrato funziona la ricarica lenta.
Rispecchia la descrizione, super consigliata per chi si sposta parecchio e non vuole ingombro dentro zaini o marsupi.

Absolutely love how this is and how it fits in my bag and barely quality is great. But that’s expected with the Anker brand. This charges my iPhone 15 up so fast. I do however wish it would charge a complete charge from 0-100%. I would say it’s more like an 80% so I can’t complain. I am considering buying one more as backup. Great value for the price. Highly recommend and love the cute colors they offer!
