Why is Anker 511 Charger (Nano Pro) faster and smaller?
Which devices are compatible with this charger?
Does it work with tablets, portable chargers, earphones, and other gadgets?
Does it really make a difference ?? I have an iphone 14..
Is a 20w anker charger good for s25? Since I don't want to get any higher charging speed. Anyone used it before? Will it only fast charge the phone right? Thanks
Hello. I recently bought an Anker 525 powerbank, the one with 1 USB C port and 1 USB A port. The USB C port is used for both input and output and outputs a maximum of 20W. Please what is the best possible charger brick I could get for it? I was thinking of picking up a 20W charger for it. Specifically the Anker Powerport III 20W charger. Would that be okay? Would that give my powerbank the fastest possible charge OR will a higher wattage charger charge it faster? Eg. a 30W charger. Thank you.
Recently got my hands on the new bundle from Costco, I think it's worth a time to post a quick comparison review:
The one on the left is old version 67w + 30w charger, when debut a year ago, it's msrp is $29.99
The one on the right is newer version 70w + 30w + 2x cables. Just released last week also same price of $29.99
TL;DR: Buy the new one. Better protocol, build quality and "free" cables.
Since the old one already through multiple sales, I got mine from Costco for $9.97. The new one, unless half a year in foreseeable future, I don't think it will cut price very soon, $19.99 maybe in BF.
You can clearly find the new one have way better bundle: 2 x 6.6ft 240w USB-C cables:
The Cable is made of high quality metal heads and braided lines, as sturdy as my original 240w Apple cables. However I don't think Anker made the right choice here: It's too heavy, too long and I still think bundled such heavy cables with 70w charger seems awkward. But if you really want highest spec charging cable, those are indeed great ones, just maybe too much for charging phones.
As specs suggested, it's integrated with USB PD 3.1 EPR e-marker chip, 240w indeed:
Let's check the chargers, compares to old version, they're more modernized:
I always thought the older 67w is odd in spec and shape, The new 70w have one more C port build with better aesthetics overall(personal opinion):
The 30w is about the same size and shape:
Also a comparison with Apple 30w and 70w single port charger:
Well I think you could argue Anker's charger might throttle in highest power, it might be, but not in this quick review, you can watch Mr AllThingsOnePlace for details.
So the biggest change of this chargers I think is the protocols:
The new 70w support 70w USB PD and 74w USB PD PPS:
In PD and PPS details, you see it support 20v x 3.5A or
PPS 5 - 11v x 5A
PPS 5 - 16v x 4.65A
PPS 4.5 - 21v x 3.5A
The older 67w support 67w PD but 55w in USB PD PPS, and the PPS protocol is
3.3v-11v x 5A, which seems not fully support 16v or 21v like the new ones.
The 30w charger is about the same:
USB PD 30w or USB PD PPS 33w
3.3v-11v x 3A
