This charging speed is especially useful for Quick Charge smartphones because they’re able to charge near their max charging speed. This isn’t to say that portable chargers with just a single port aren’t able to give a great charging experience. You don’t have to worry about the power bank short-circuiting, as MultiProtect works to prevent power surges and other potentially damaging effects. First thing I notice about the Anker PowerCore 13000 is that it looks just like a widened version of its predecessor. Incidentally, if anyone is looking for a solid but fairly cheap smartphone, I heartily recommend the Moto G6 Play!

Surge protection, short circuit prevention and premium LG battery cells keep you and your devices safe. Anker tried to make a highly objective charging power bank and they did achieve it, but with only a Max Output 3A to rely on for a 2 port power bank isn’t the best design or way to channel power. That’s nearly 70% of the advertised value, making it one of the top three batteries we tested in terms of living up to its promise (the average was about 61%).

It’s surprisingly portable and for what it’s capable of, the charger is really good to take on the go. There’s not much surprise on its build quality, of course, the Anker PowerCore 13000 takes advantage of Anker’s Multi Safe Protection that can provide a wide range of safety features during charging.

The recharging speed is alright with a 2 Amp Input charging rate and if you do use a 2 Amp wall charger with the power bank, then you can expect a recharge time of 5. When following the proper Anker charger instructions, the PowerCore 13000 takes around 10 hours to fully top off. If you’re using an iPhone 8 as your daily smartphone, you can look forward to getting as much as eight full charges from this power bank. It is therefore not possible to charge another device at the same time, thus no pass through charging.We also look into whether these particles could be dislodged from the ports via shaking the device or using compressed air. The technology has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, with manufacturers able to to squeeze a lot of charging capacity into ever smaller and lighter designs.
