![]() On the other hand, you can charge the battery and three devices in a wall, then simply remove the Anker 733 and keep charging those devices with the built-in battery. Well, you're right, the Anker 733 is big, and it's power-to-weight ratio isn't as high as the heavy hitters on this list. You might think that adding a 65W wall charger to a power bank would add a lot of bulk. That makes it a wall charger as well as a power bank, and the utility can't be understated. Some power banks come with a built in USB-C cord, but this Anker comes with a two-prong power outlet plug. Speaking of that wall plug, it's the most useful feature ever on a power bank. It can charge an iPhone 15 at full 20W speed, and it can even power a Chromebook or small laptop like a Macbook Air whether it's plugged into a wall or not. ![]() The Anker 733 is a revelation, and though it isn't the most powerful or feature packed power bank on this list, it is the best overall power bank to carry if you charge multiple devices, no matter what those devices might be. ❌ You only want to charge a phone: If you don't need to charge a laptop occasionally, or you only carry a phone with no accessories, the Anker 733 is more than you need. That situation caused the battery to enter in a bug, so it keep acting as a charger puck, trying to charge the phone to 100% constantly not keeping it at 90% (even when the option was not selected) that drove me crazy, because the pack was depleting so fast I was thinking that it was broken.❌ You want a more portable option: Because of its combo nature, the Anker 733 is a bit bulky and cumbersome, but if you use it both ways, it's worth the trade-off in size to have such a useful device. ![]() Moral of my story: using the battery pack as a magsafe charger wired from third party power banks (and maybe chargers?) can make the battery to enter a bug/state where it acts merely as a charger and not a smart battery. Then connected to phone, and everything was normal again. ![]() When disconnected from the power bank, it caused the battery to enter in a bug, so it keep acting as a charger puck, trying to charge the phone to 100% constantly not keeping it at 90% (even when the option was not selected) that drove me crazy, because the pack was depleting so fast I was thinking that it was broken.įortunately I fixed it rebooting my phone, and charging the battery from an oficial 5w apple charger from about 20 minutes. But this time I was in a hurry and connected the battery to a 20w powerbank to charge battery and phone (wirelessly from the pack) at the same time. Some interesting happened to me the other day. Makes sense, what happens is that at 70-75 the battery acts as a power bank, so it tries to top up the phone to 90% that generates a lot more heat than when connected at 100% when it works as a battery extender. Obviously it depends on every user and their needs, plenty of room for everyone. That’s what sometimes causes the phones to overheat.Īpple’s magsafe battery is mainly an extension of the internal battery, so when connected, it will keep the internal battery at 90% (even though you have the option to top up to 100%).Ĭrucial difference is that the phone doesn’t start those background processes, and also it has some software control of temp, which can help to protect your internal battery. The difference is that when you connect a power bank like those ones, the phone registers it as connected to wall power and it starts to run background tasks that usually are programmed to run when connected to mains. The only thing that keeps away me from those is that those are not battery extenders like the Apple one, but simple power banks that are designed to keep your phone charging till 100% and continue delivering power past that number. I ‘ve heard good comments about the Anker MagSafe batteries. ![]()
