[Preface]

The rapid development of fast charging technology is amazing. More than a year ago, most of our mobile phone users were still using 5V/2A or even 1A chargers, and 5V/2A can also be called "fast charging". However, today, fast charging has gone down from the altar of flagship machines and been applied to thousand yuan machines. The famous brainwashing advertisement "charging for five minutes and talking for two hours" also made this brand the top in domestic sales, which shows people's demand for fast charging. Fast charging is good, but it can't stand the continuous bombardment of mobile games, WeChat, videos, etc. For heavy users of mobile phones, it is very common to charge two to three times a day. After experiencing fast charging, the most unbearable thing is turtle charging. But most of the time, when we switch outdoors or in different places, the original charging head can't work well. What should we do? This 3-in-1 package from professional manufacturer Anker is sure to solve your embarrassment.

[Product design and experience]

Anker is a rapidly growing brand. Although it has only been established for a few years, it has achieved good sales in North America and Japan, ranking first online. Recently, it has begun to focus on the domestic market, and the product launch has been very strong. The author has long wanted to start, so this time we can get Love to play computer games Thank you very much for your trial opportunity.

This package is divided into three products: desktop charger, mobile power supply and car charger, all of which support the Qualcomm QC3.0 protocol, QC3.0 is the latest charging protocol used by Qualcomm in the current market. It is different from QC2.0 only between 9V and 12V. QC3.0 starts at 3.6V and can be fine tuned in 0.2V according to the actual temperature, efficiency, power and other conditions of the battery. This process can be gradual rather than jumping.

The appearance of the product uses a combination of blue and white. The three boxes have the same style. The front is white with only Anker logo, while the side is blue. The label parameters of the product are on the other side.

Anker's packaging protection for products is very good, which is arranged neatly and mutually supportive. Skipping the process of unpacking, after all, no matter how good the packaging is, it cannot be used as a product.

First, let's look at the desktop charger. Anker's charger has five outputs, and its surface is made of plastic with a strong sense of fine sanding. It has a good touch, giving a sense of calm and atmosphere. The design is simple and business like. The front is only the logo of Anker.

On the other side are the relevant parameters of the product and various certifications, indicating the quick charging interface and the common interface on the side.

The charger has five output interfaces in total, but not every interface is QC3.0 standard. Three of them support the maximum output of 5V/2.4A, named PowerIQ output by the manufacturer, and the other two support the output of QC3.0, with a voltage range of 3.6V-12V. The interfaces are marked in blue and easy to distinguish. Next to it is the strip light.

The charger is desktop type, so there is no folding plug itself, and its power supply needs to be connected to the "8" port with a cable.

Two phase plugs are common for power lines.

8-head plug.

There is also a ribbon inside the package.

Anker's warranty card is more interesting. One side is happy, and the other side is not happy. It will indicate different contents respectively.

Anker used to focus on Europe, America, Japan and other markets, so the manual uses many languages, including simplified Chinese.

Next, let's test its ability.

The no-load voltage of non QC port is 5.16V.

The 9V/12V of QC2.0 is supported by the visible QC interface induced by the equipment.

QC3.0 also fully supports it. This is the curve obtained by using a test instrument

 

The maximum current of non QC port can reach 4A, and the power is 20.6W.

The 5V output test current of QC port can reach 3.6A at most, and the power is 17.2W.


9V output current up to 3.6A, power 31.5W.

The 12V test current is nearly 3A, and the maximum power can reach 35W.

In actual test, the charger charges 8.46V and 1.24A of mobile phones supporting QC3.0, which are similar to the original charger.

Charge the mobile power supply supporting QC input with a recording voltage of 8.83V, 1.81A.

The small size of Anker's mobile power supply surprised the author. The black anodized aluminum alloy shell looks commercial and elegant. On one side is Anker's logo and a key. Generally speaking, physical keys are placed on the side, but Anker's overall design is more flexible and less rigid.

The button is like a clock with small dots around it. After pressing the button, the dots will light up to light up the indicator light, which is more precise than three or four indicators.

The other side shows that this is a mobile power supply that supports QC3.0.

There is no such thing on the side, that is, the natural edge is excessive, and the natural rounded grip feels good.

One in one out two interfaces. The IN port uses the most common MicroUSB interface, and the output port uses green to distinguish the general USB port, because it is a mobile power supply that supports QC3.0 output.

Here are the product parameters. It can be seen that the capacity is 10050mAh/36.18Wh, which supports the two-way charging of QC3.0. This is very rare. At present, there are many mobile power supplies output by QC3.0, but the input is about 5V/2A, and the claimed two-way fast charging is generally more than QC2.0 input. Is it actually supported? I can't wait to test it.

There is nothing special about the charging line. The author believes that the diameter of the line supporting 3A high current charging should be a little thicker.


The test mobile power supply supports QC2.0 and QC3.0.

Use Anker's desktop charger to charge the mobile power supply. The record is as follows: the initial quick charge trigger is about 6.8V, and the current is about 2.1A. At this rate, the charge will take about 2 hours and 20 minutes to start reducing the output power. At this time, check that there are three remaining points in the mobile power supply's power indicator, and when the time is 3 hours and 37 minutes, the mobile power supply will be fully charged, This speed is good for a 1WmAh mobile power supply. It will take at least 5-6 hours to use a 5V/2A power supply with the same capacity.

The 5V output is up to 3A and 14.9W, which is consistent with the marked value.


The 9V output can reach 2.1A at most in the test, and then the voltage drops with the increase of current, reaching 18.9W at most, slightly higher than the marked value.

The 12V output can reach 1.6A, slightly higher than the marked value.

According to the author's previous experience in using different QC3.0 products, the mobile power supply rarely uses 12V to charge mobile phones in actual use, and the general voltage is 6-9V, so the author uses a 9V/2A load to discharge this mobile power supply. The visible energy is 28.42Wh, the nominal 36.18Wh, and the conversion efficiency is 78.55%, which is higher than the average level of mobile power supply but not outstanding, The 5V/2A discharge conversion rate should be higher than 80%

The third part of the Anker kit is the car charger, which is relatively simple. After opening it, you can see the tightly packed products,

The package includes charger, manual and warranty card The product adopts the design method of combining the baking varnish surface and the frosted surface, which is still the typical business style of Anker. The material is solid, and the red waist line in the middle adds a touch of charm.

The on-board charger has two QC ports, which are different outputs of QC3.0 and 2.0, and QC3.0 has the number 3 for differentiation.

For users who like to pack light, especially business people, Anker car charger only needs to charge the mobile phone for half an hour on the way to work to support the use of ordinary strength for a day, which is really a good CP for mobile.

[Personal experience]

Anker is a hot selling brand abroad. Its outstanding achievements abroad are the recognition of users. After its business returns to the domestic market, Anker quickly becomes a popular brand among industry insiders and players. Its products are solid in workmanship and good in materials. Its products involve desktop charging and mobile charging. There are different support types of fast charging, general charging, and the combination of the two, The interface includes both single port portable travel charge and ten charging stations. The entire product line can meet the user's needs in all directions through different combinations. The disadvantage lies in the monotony of the fast charging protocols currently supported, the few products involving MTK, FCP and multi protocol compatibility, and the slightly higher price. I hope Anker can make adjustments according to the actual situation of the domestic market to gain more users than players.
