The PowerIQ-enabled USB-A port ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, while a trickle-charging mode keeps your low-power gadgets running smoothly.

We never found it uncomfortable to carry in a pants pocket unless we were sitting right on top of it, and you could easily forget it was even there when carrying it around in a jacket. The manufacturer claims that it takes 3-5 hours to fully recharge this battery, which matched up with our test results quite well.

While it is a shame the original 10000 PD appears discontinued, the very similar 10000 PD Redux and the more pocketable 10000 PD Slim and the good value 20000 PD are worthy of consideration. It supports USB-C in and out at a maximum of 18W, as well as USB-A out, and a low power trickle charging mode as well. While it’s nice to see the backwards compatibility of non PD supported, 9 hours is crazy long time for 10k capacity. Your smartphone, tablet, or other gadgets are your lifelines, and the Anker PowerCore 10000 Redux is here to make sure they never run out of juice.

And only go for the 20W over the 18W if it’s a little more cost as in truth 18W Vs 20W performance isn’t significant. Other portable chargers may fail to detect and deliver the tiny power requirements of small devices and wearables. With 15V also supported on the input side you can use most of any USB-C power adapter to recharge it in a few hours. It doesn't have any fancy features, but it gets the job done and is a decent and affordable backup charging solution for your devices.It you press the power button twice for 2 seconds, the PowerCore will enter “trickle-charging mode” and the LED indicator wil turn green. Elegant Design: The PowerCore 10000 Redux is not just practical, but also stylish with its sleek matte finish and cool-blue LED light-wheel that indicates the battery level.

The redux is redesigned and has newer technology such as the new trickle charge function to fully charge low voltage devices that would normally turn it her battery packs off. For a power bank with a decent capacity, integrated flashlight, and the ability to charge multiple devices at once, we love the INIU Portable Charger 10000. If you’re an iPad Pro 2018 user, this power bank is the perfect companion for keeping your tablet running. We measured the capacity of each charger by using a digital meter and a dummy resistive load set for different discharge rates, as well as by truth testing any claims from the manufacturer regarding the number of charges you could get for different devices.Sometimes the decrease is great enough to no longer sustain “high speed charging” or charging at all for some picky devices. What You Get: PowerCore 10000 PD Redux portable charger, USB-C to USB-C cable (Micro USB cable, USB-A to C cable and Lightning cable not included), mesh bag. On value , if you’re not carrying in clothing pockets, these stand out as heavier but not much larger and are more capacity and better able to be useful for tablets. If your using it for a Laptop or Nintendo Switch then it’s worth the premium, but if your charging your smartphone or tablet while out on the go, I would struggle with paying the premium. Then I can carry just say two cables of different lengths and that’s the end of this silly MicroB phase.
