There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
1st photo, the entire package. Everything that comes with the charger and the box it comes in. All very compact and nice.
2nd photo is a photo of how much charge the charger had when it arrived. 2 out of three lights. I usually charge all new devices that I get right away just to start fresh. So I popped this onto a charger and it only took a couple hours. So I assume it was about %60 full.
Now Photos 3 and 4 are the most important photos for me. I own a Galaxy Note5 and at the time I had %70 battery left on my phone. I plugged my phone into a standard 2 amp output wall charger to see what the time until fully charged said. As you can see in the photo it read 43 min until charged. So the ultimate test was to see if when plugged into the PowerCore 5000 the same reading showed. The final picture shows the phone plugged into the battery pack and the exact same reading. So this definitely charges just as good as a standard wall charger.
I would suggest this product to anyone looking for a full phones worth of charge on the go and to do it at a decent speed. I love having quick charge on my phone but as of right now Anker does not make a quick charge 2.0 battery pack this small. I only use Anker products for charging my devices. I have a few lipstick chargers, now this charger, two PowerCore+ 10050 with quick charge 2.0, a couple of the wireless chargers, and a couple PowerPort chargers. They have never disappointed me and they are always trying to stay up to date with their equipment. This is a solid product and I will purchase another so I have a couple. Until they come out with a quick charge version that is. Then I will give these away to have those. But all in all a great charger for on the go. Easily fits in your pocket with your phone.

I have found many uses for this power bank already. Since it is small and light weight I had no problems taking it on a nice 7 mile hike when I was in Yellowstone. It was a life saver when my phone battery was almost dead and I was using it to track the distance. I just plugged my phone into the PowerCore 5000 and before I knew it my phone was fully charged. I have also found that when you combine it with a small USB powered fan it makes for a great portable fan to help beat the heat.
The PowerCore 5000 is build from high quality materials. It has a nice matte black finish that looks really nice. It has 3 power lights on the side to indicate how much of a charge you have left. It also comes with an Anker USB cable and a nice fabric drawstring pouch to store it in.
I would highly recommend the PowerCore 5000 to anyone, not just travelers. It is a great battery that will serve you well.

Size:
The unit is roughly the length of a Leatherman and the circumference is wider than that of a US Quarter. See attached photos. The weight is slightly lighter than my trusty multi-tool.
Look and Feel:
It is a matte black around the tube. The ends are more of a glossy black plastic. This is where I will ding the unit, the micro USB charging port seems more difficult to locate and get the cable inserted than other charging ports I have used on any number of devices. As a result, the end is already showing scratches from my bad aim, see photo. A color change around the ports might make this an easier target, especially in less than ideal lighting.
There are 3 LED lights to show charge under the power button, see photo. My next and last knock on the product, the power button is fairly flush on the unit. Trying to find it by touch is very difficult. The button does give a satisfying tactile response when clicked. Very reminiscent of a mechanical keyboard feedback in my mind.
Use:
This will fit very nicely in a pants pocket with a cell phone, provided you can fit your phone in your pants to begin with. There is no magic elixir to make a large phone fit in your tight pants pocket. While the device is very unassuming, I did notice while grocery shopping that women took notice of the charger that was in my front pocket with my phone.
Charging speeds are more than acceptable. I have a Nexus 6P I was testing with and the charge was very fast. This will not produce a Rapid Charge, but the rate was very compatible to charging the phone with any other USB to USB type C cable wall charger configuration. This will NOT mimic the charging speeds of the factory USB type C wall charger that comes with a 6P. With the unit holding 5000 mAh of power, it will charge most phones at least 1.5 times from 0%.
Conclusion:
Only minor gripes are the difficulty to hit the charging port and the difficulty of finding the power button by touch. Other than those small issues, this is a top notch portable battery with a very premium feel.

Laissez tomber, c’est la première fois que j’ai ce genre de situation avec une batterie neuve…
It’s so neat and robust to look at and feels nice and smooth in your hand. Not heavy at all.
It comes with a lead for charging the Powerbank, also, a very useful little bag. All packaged beautifully in a box with instructions.
I bought this to take on a trip to Australia with me, to charge my iPhone 6s, plus my iPod Nano, this it did admirably. I wasn’t sure if there would be charging facilities on the planes. There were as it turned out but it’s nice to be prepared.
I took it with me on a trip to the mountains also and it did all that I expected it to do, still with power to spare.
When it arrived it was about a third charged, so I charged it fully, this took a couple of hours. I then tested it out on my 6s, my iPod and my iPad mini and was pleased with the results, it charged all of them probably from about half way, still leaving plenty of power in the Powerbank.
My daughter was very taken with this also, so naturally, doing what Mothers do, I bought her one. She chose the white and said it’s “Brilliant Mum” takes it everywhere. As with mine, fits easily in your bag. In the little pouch provided.
I complimented my purchase with an Anker PowerLine +11, foot long lightning cable. This too is an excellent product and one you feel is safe to use with your gadgets and is of high quality.
I initially wasn’t sure if I wanted a cylinder type one or a flat one, ideally I would have liked to try the two different kinds. I did have a moment when my “Smartie Tube” one rolled off the seat on the plane and I was wrestling it from the feet of my surprised traveling companion in the row in front. My fault entirely however.
Well, I didn’t get to try the two kinds, I chose this type and it’s a little piece of equipment I feel is a definite must have.
Would highly recommend this product.
Cette batterie ANKER que je possède depuis 3 mois répond à 100% à mes attentes ! .. elle est simple, étonnement robuste, respire la qualité, elle a juste 2 prises (USB pour relier le smartphone, micro USB pour la recharger), et un bouton avec 3 leds pour pouvoir vérifier le niveau de charge ... Sa forme bâton et son poids raisonnable, grâce à son corps en plastique robuste, fait qu'on la transporte très facilement, pour ma part dans mon sac en bandoulière. Elle a une capacité de 5000mAh, mais selon moi, elle fait plus, car je peux recharger la batterie de mon S4 (2600 mAh) deux fois et demi, donc plutôt 6-7000 mAh en réalité, à l'état neuf en tout cas .. la recharge complète de cette batterie externe prend environ 4 heures sur chargeur 5V-2A, donc pas de souci si on la branche le soir .. La recharge du smartphone est vraiment rapide, en effet elle développe 2.4A en sortie, contre 2A pour le chargeur d'origine, donc oui vous avez bien saisi, cette batterie externe recharge le smartphone plus vite que son chargeur d'origine !! :)))))) . A ce propos, méfiez vous des batteries "noname" hyper basiques vendues en supermarché, bien souvent elles sont limitées à 1A en sortie, et là impossible de recharger certains appareils avec une intensité aussi faible ... Elle est livrée dans une jolie petite boite en carton, avec un sac de transport en nylon molletonné, pour ne pas abîmer les autres objets qui seraient stockés dans la même poche, et un cable USB/micro USB de 60 cm. Attention si vous avez un Iphone (cable USB/Lightning), ou un smartphone plus récent (cable USB/USB type C), il vous faudra acheter à part un cable adapté, ou alors utiliser celui d'origine. Pas de chargeur inclus, mais ce n'est pas utile vu que n'importe quel chargeur 5V-2A USB livré avec votre smartphone (Iphone y compris) convient. Voilà, je suis totalement satisfait de cette batterie, de qualité et à un prix plus qu'abordable, qui me permet de ne plus jamais être à court d'énergie, sans être trop pesante ! ANKER est désormais une marque qui compte !
