"Cross your eyebrows and fingers to the touch screen, bow your head and be willing to bow your head"—— This era is too crazy. You can forget your wallet and keys when you go out, but you can't do without your mobile phone. And your mobile phone, it can not do without the power bank. Although the development of technology has brought more battery capacity and faster charging technology to mobile phones, you are still eager to at any time Fill them with "blood". When you are on business trips, traveling, or even having a night out, you need to take a power bank with you. By the way, the charging head and data cable should not be forgotten, otherwise how can the rechargeable bank renew blood? If several devices are powered down at the same time, the reserve capacity of "thread head" will be doubled. So it's no burden to go out! This gives you a headache, but you can't stop it.

Try new products and say goodbye to headaches. received Love to play computer games After the "one charge and two functions" Anker super charge provided, the author immediately opened the box and tried it to see if it could change the fate of digital control cumbersome travel. Without further ado, the following five minute evaluation video is sure to give you a good understanding of Anker.

Since the video is based on the preconceived ideas, we can review it slowly. First show a photo of the author holding Anker gently - "Yingying in hand".

1. Packaging and accessories

When it comes to Anker, it has been known by Chinese people in recent years. Anker was initially listed in the United States. Starting from the laptop battery, it has become stronger and larger through e-commerce channels in the past five years, becoming a leader in the field of 3C accessories. Now, this super charger is a new USB charging recruit of Anker Accessories Group.

From the design point of view, I think the ANKER LOGO on the front of the package is very recognizable. Since then, we can see that the overall package also presents a distinctive brand feature, which is different from the style of most domestic charging power supplies.

After all, it is a cross-border e-commerce brand, and its products are sold to countries all over the world, including Europe and the United States, so it can not be less international. A sticker is attached at the bottom of the box to indicate the product model parameters, manufacturer, QR code and other information. It can be seen that the actual model of this product is PowerCore Fusion 5000. If you have to talk about the shortcomings of the packaging box, it is that the sticker is slightly skewed.

Of course, this "international style" is also reflected in the text marking in the box: open the box cover, the cardboard facing the box is printed with English words such as "American famous USB charging brand", the English words "Thank you for using Anker" are on the side, the accessory box surface is only English Accessories (attachments), and the attached instructions are also in many languages. There is also a square card with "Happy?" and "Unhappy?" printed on the front and back respectively, which is a description of after-sales support. I have a question here. Will users who have not passed CET-4 be very sad?

There is a half meter USB data cable and a black woven mesh storage bag in the accessory box (paper cards such as instructions are also contained in the accessory box). As can be seen from the previous video, the blue paper box of the assembly is designed with a buckle mouth, which is easy to take out with both hands or one hand. It is a considerate design. The equipped storage bag can also easily carry the data cable and power bank with you. The network design can ensure good heat dissipation, and it is safer to charge in the bag.

2. Comparison of appearance and details

It can be seen from the video that the Ankei super charger is moderate in size and similar in width to the 5-inch mobile phone; Anker LOGO appears again, but it is not publicized. Reflected matte light can be seen from a certain angle, while other angles are low-key. The side with the LOGO is equipped with a power key and three blue indicators to identify the percentage of residual power. It does not do too much tricks, but follows an introverted style.

Because the whole body is made of plastic frosted material, the product surface presents a unique texture; The rounded corner design makes the grip feel comfortable. It is not easy to leave fingerprints in actual use, but its defense against scratching sharp objects is also limited.

As a charging bank, input and output interfaces are indispensable. Anker Super Charger provides two USB output ports; It is also provided with a Mirco USB input port, which can be matched with other charging heads at a maximum of 5V/2.1A Anker charges, which is no different from other power packs. The style of IQ letter with electric symbol is consistent with Anker texture, which makes people feel a kind of subtle delicacy.

In terms of size, Anker is even very similar to the popular 4-port USB charging power supply on the market (just a little smaller), but it is undoubtedly excellent in appearance, especially in details.

Similar to the 4-port charging head, Anker Supercharger also has a foldable hidden plug, and detailed parameters are printed on the side of the hidden plug.

With a hidden plug, Anker can charge itself in a second way - directly connect the hidden plug to the mains AC power supply. The wide voltage input design of 100V-240V enables it to show its talents when traveling abroad; The design of Anker's 5000mAh capacity also enabled it to pass the boarding security check smoothly.

The capacity of Anker 5000mAh is not dominant, but the volume and weight are controlled. 189g is only slightly heavier than the mobile phone; The interface is no inferior. In addition, with its own hidden plug, it completely gets rid of the burden of the charging head. In fact, it makes the charging bank more lightweight and easy to use, which makes Anker completely win in practicality.

The author has another power bank with its own hidden plug (on the right side of the figure above). The plug of this product has a practical design defect: it will be very awkward when the socket holes are limited or crowded. Anker Super Charger has no such concern. Its own plug and main body occupy little space, and the charging environment is highly adaptable. This advantage makes Anker win again.

It can be seen that the "super" of Anker Super Charge is mainly reflected in the portability and ease of use of its own plug. On the one hand, it can flexibly use two ways to charge itself. On the other hand, it has two interfaces to charge mobile devices. When there is power in the surrounding environment, it can directly plug in the phone as an avatar charging head to charge mobile phones. The trouble of taking more charging heads when going out mentioned at the beginning of this article has been easily solved by Anker Super Charger.

3. Charging test practice

Since Anker Super Charger is so powerful in theory, what is the actual charging effect? The author makes a series of practical tests, records the test data, uses a multimeter to detect the charging current and voltage, and uses statistical tables to make intuitive curves. The process and conclusions are summarized as follows. The detailed analysis of the "double charging" test in the opening video is also provided.

(1) Self charging test

On Anker Three indicator lights indicate the process of charging to 33%, 66% and 100% with the status of on and off, and the three lights are always on after full power; Press the power button when not charging to view the percentage of remaining power. When Anker charges himself, the maximum is 5V/2.1A. In the actual measurement, it takes about 3 hours to fill 5000mAh, whether in line or MicroUSB input mode. According to the performance of current similar power packs, Anker's charging speed is moderate.

(2) Charging head mode - direct charging test

Because Anker has the property of "one charging and two energy", it can be used as a charging bank or as a charging head to supply power to other devices. The charging power of the two is slightly different. When used as a charging head, the default output is 5V/2.1A, and the maximum single port is 2.1A. The power is the same as that of the non fast charging original charging head of most smart mobile devices on the market. It can basically be replaced, but the measured charging efficiency is slightly lower than that of the original charging head. Of course, at present, quick charging of mobile phones is in the ascendant, and Anker can't beat the quick charging head. It actually takes 2 hours and 12 minutes to fully charge Meizu's quick charging mobile phone MX5, which is much slower than the 75 minute quick charging, and the efficiency of dual port and single port during direct charging is not significantly different. However, considering that there is no mains power when going out, universal charging has become the norm, and the charging effect is acceptable.

(3) Mobile power mode - single charge test

When used as an ordinary charging bank, the nominal output is 5V/3A, and the maximum output power of a single port is also 3A. Anker's output interface has an intelligent recognition function and is compatible with a variety of protocols, but Meizu's fast charging protocol is a minority. It is measured that three Meizu fast charging mobile phones did not activate the fast charging mode, and the charging current only reached less than 1.8A. The actual time required to fully charge a mobile phone is not significantly different from the direct charging test results. Considering the trend of mobile phone standard fast charging, Anker super charging has more attribute bonuses that can be explored.

(4) Mobile power mode - double charge test

Considering Anker's portability advantage of saving a charging head when carrying out, the most practical application scenario is to charge two mobile phones at the same time. This is the origin of the measured records in the video at the beginning of the evaluation.

In the actual measurement, the author took the two mobile phones in hand with a battery capacity of 3000mAh as the charging object, one of which was Meizu MX5 (with a battery capacity of 3150mAh), and the other was Meizu PRO5 (with a battery capacity of 3050mAh). First, the Anker was super charged to 100% full charge, and then charged the two mobile phones as mobile power supply at the same time until the Anker was exhausted. During this period, complete charging data were recorded. In the actual measurement, although both of them support Meizu's mCharge fast charging, Anker can only charge them in a common way, and the charging speed of PRO5 is slightly faster than that of MX5.

Precise timing is adopted for the actual measurement. Both mobile phones are in flight mode, and the background program is closed as far as possible. Only one test APP is reserved, and the mobile phone power is recorded every 3 minutes. The screen is closed after the power is recorded at each time point. From the video screenshots at the above time points, we can see the power consumption change of Anker super charge over time. Especially in the 48th minute, the last indicator flashes, and it is estimated that the power warning is 15-10%. The power is exhausted in the 66th minute. During this process, the MX5 is charged from 4% to 54%, and the PRO5 is charged from 3% to 62%.

The author has conducted this test twice, and the recorded video shows the second time. The first measurement result is similar to this: the fully charged Anker ran out in 66 minutes, charging the MX5 and PRO5 from 3% and 3% to 55% and 62% respectively, which is also a slightly faster charging efficiency of PRO5. From this, it can be roughly judged that Anker Supercharge is relatively stable during double charging.

The above figure is the charge curve obtained by sorting out. Due to the display error of the percentage of power indicator through Anker, the power decline curve of Anker is only for reference. The results of the dual charging test show that Anker's super charging performance is satisfactory. It is envisaged that two devices need to be charged when traveling on business. Anker can basically meet the actual demand of more than half of the blood return in one hour, which is very practical.

4. Summary

Anker Super Charger focuses on "one charge for two purposes, lightweight and dual energy". It has a 5000mAh capacity and can be plugged into its own plug for charging and travel charging. That is, it has two identities of "two mouth fast charging head" and "two mouth fast charging treasure" at the same time, so it is not a problem to solve the problem of mobile phone endurance. The author also has some ideas and suggestions in the trial. For example, in terms of wiring, Anker is not equipped with the increasingly popular Type-C interface charging cable, and it is recommended to upgrade to a more practical Tpye-C two in one cable; In terms of appearance, the bright grooves at the joints of the machine body are beautiful, but they are easy to deposit scale; The matte texture feels good, but it is also easy to bump and scratch. I hope the next generation can improve it. Finally, although the product manual is exquisite and international, it is difficult for domestic users to adapt to the multi language instructions. It is suggested to redesign a simple and clear Chinese manual.

In the actual test, Anker Super Charger easily defeated several (fast charging/non fast charging) chargers currently in use by virtue of its stable performance, low-key posture and lightweight and easy to use configuration, and the light "dual use" highlights and comprehensive performance were satisfactory. Those cumbersome charging heads and cables can finally be thrown out of the travel bag. One Anker super charger+two data cables can be easily stored, and the digital party can also travel light.
