One glance at the LED indicator tells you how much power the power bank still has. Charging it is easy with the included micro USB cable. Thanks to PowerIQ technology, the power bank will be charged in no time. This technology automatically senses the optimal and appropriate amperage for your device.
Note:this power bank includes a micro USBcable. Check whether your device has the same connector. If not, make sure to add the right cable to your shopping cart.

Review Anker Powercore 20.100mah Note: not to be confused with the Anker Powercore+
In brief:
In my opinion, the Anker Powercore is a compact power bank that stores a lot of energy in its handy size.
Package content:
Appearance and quality:
The format of the Anker Powercore is very handy. Its elongated shape makes it so that you can easily put it away in a bag between, for example, a lunch box and a bottle of water. The surface of the power bank is made of plastic and feels very sturdy. The only downside on the surface is that you can easily see fingerprints. To keep the power bank as scratch-free as possible, Anker has included a cover. This case has been well thought out because because of its airy structure you can always leave it on, even when you use / charge the power bank. Another thing I noticed was his weight, he is not particularly heavy at 354 grams. Finally, we have the button that activates the LEDs that display an indication of the content. Anker should have thought about this a little more. If only the last LED is still lit, you cannot tell the difference between 'too empty to fill another phone' and 'charge the phone twice'. To make the indication more precise, I would have preferred Anker to have installed ten LEDs instead of four.
Contents:
The content of the Anker Powercore is 20,100mah according to the specifications and according to my experience this is also correct. Usually I can do a full week with the power bank and I can charge my Samsung galaxy S5 (2800mah) at least 6x with it. That's not quite 20,100 mah, but every power bank suffers from loss when it charges another device. This loss is therefore very acceptable and I am very satisfied with the content.
Load:
The Anker Powercore does not include a charger with which you can charge the power bank. For this I use my Samsung charger from my Galaxy S5. According to the specifications, the power bank should be charged in 13 hours when using a 2A (ampere) charger. The Samsung charger I use is 2A and in practice it takes 10 hours to charge when it is almost empty (15%). So a very decent score. So make sure you always use a good quality charger that can deliver 2A or more. If the charger can deliver less, charging will take longer. My Samsung charger gets hot when it charges the power bank, so keep in mind that a '5 euro' charger from a cheap website might break and possibly damage the power bank. In short, if you do not have a good charger, purchase a good charger when you purchase this power bank.
Charging devices on the Powercore is very fast and the Powercore can really charge 2 devices at the same time. It doesn't get particularly hot here. Furthermore, there is not much more to say about charging devices, so I consider charging devices as 'just good'.
Defect:
The copy I now own of the Anker Powercore is the second copy. The first one worked perfectly until I charged it, which took 27 hours. This is of course quite a bit longer than stated in the specifications, so something went wrong somewhere. Unfortunately, I was only able to test this once before my non-binding return period expired. The reason for this is still not entirely clear to me. The store where I ordered the power bank, Coolblue, exchanged it for another one just to be sure and it works well. You can read this under the heading loading in this review.
Conclusion:
In my opinion, the Anker Powercore 20.100 is a power bank that stores a lot of energy in its handy size. I am therefore very satisfied with the power bank and I never have to worry about an empty phone again (provided I charge the power bank of course). The cover that comes with it also completes the product and because of the sturdiness of the product it gives the impression that it will last a long time. To keep the power bank competitively priced, Anker has not included a charger. After all, most people have already received this with their phone and can just use it. However, Anker would do well to post some information on its website about what charger they recommend using.

Takes a long time to load and is quite heavy, but then you also have enough power to survive a week in the jungle with your phone!

Easy to carry. Have already charged 3 x smartphones (partially) and only used 1/4 of capacity.
