Possibilities are endless. This dual output charger appeals to me because of its small size and overall design. For the first two days, it worked flawlessly. Then it passed away. I thought I was getting a slew of notifications when I heard an intermittent buzzing from my iPhone 8plus. My phone was going in and out of charging mode as soon as I unlocked it. I unplugged it several times and tried different outlets, all to no avail; the charger is now completely useless and will not charge any device, and the USB ports emit a faint metallic odor. I bought two of the dual packs, so I'm guessing something went wrong internally. So far, only one person has died. As I travel with and use the other three, I'll update my review. Anker is usually a rock-solid company, so this is a bit of a shock. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> 29br>Anita from Anker Customer Service has been working tirelessly to solve my problem. She's going to send me a replacement unit to test out. Aside from the faulty product, I'm very pleased with the level of service and prompt communication.
Within a week of use, one of them had failed. The other Anker charger charges at a much slower rate than the others. If only it worked, size would be fantastic. Anker's products have been steadily deteriorating in recent years. In addition, I've had their power brick fail (that one is probably 5 months old) and several of their lightning connector charging wires fail (either completely fail, or work only selectively in a certain position on the iPhone/iPad) in the last two months. I've been buying from them for a long time, including their iPhone Karapax covers and other products, but I'm concerned about their recent decline.
In a small package, there is a lot of power. The blades of the US power plug fold inward, making it extremely portable. I've tested it, and my two each start at a little more than 5. Drop to no more than 4 volts from 0 volts. When a 1A or 2A dummy load is used, the output voltage is increased to 8V. Both of them came up with a zero. 9A and 1. 9A, which is quite impressive for such a small package. With confidence, toss these into your travel bag. It is highly recommended. br>br>As a comparison, I've purchased and tested very similar products that start at 5V but drop to 4V. 5V or 4. 4V when 1A or 2A loads are present, or don't deliver more than 0. 7A, if not 1. When activated, it produces a 5A output. I believe that the ability to deliver high current with minimal supply voltage drop is a sign of good engineering. For me, this is a standard Anker experience.
I recently purchased these to use in my home as "dedicated charging points. " I had a Samsung USB-C charger as well as an Apple USB charger. Each is equipped with a C cable. In the months I've had them, they've only been used once or twice. When I tried to charge my iPhone today, I discovered that it had no power. I double-checked that it was plugged in and that the cords were securely fastened. br>br>When I finally got it out of the wall, I discovered this. I went to the guest room right away to unplug that one, and I could hear it "squealing. " No other electronics in the house, including the larger Anker chargers next to the master bed, are having problems because they were plugged directly into the outlet. br>br>I'll contact Anker as well, but I wanted to get this up as soon as possible in case anyone else has this problem. It had the potential to start a fire.
It does the job, but it isn't exactly what I had in mind. br>It has been updated: br>After contacting Anker, I received the actual product, which is AMAZING!.
When plugged into a wall outlet, the prongs do not stay up - They look as if they won't stay put. It's a real pain to figure out which way to put it in the receptacle. Because it is not very large, it is not a good choice if you have arthritis in your hands.
Up until today, everything had been fine. It had been plugged into a power outlet in my room when it suddenly caught fire. Fortunately, I was present at the time of the fire and was able to quickly extinguish it. The apartment maintenance person informed me that the fire was caused by a product failure rather than a faulty power outlet. I would advise anyone who has purchased this product to stop using it right away. I sincerely hope that no one else experiences anything similar.
I have two Anker 24watt chargers, one of which I bring to work every day, and while it's a great charger, I wish it was a little smaller and lighter. Because I only need it to charge my personal and work phones, the new 12 watt compact charger is more appropriate. Did I mention that it possesses a high level of intelligence? I like the size and folding prongs; however, I don't miss the LED indicator because I rarely look at it. The best part is that you get two for the price of one, which is a steal considering Anker's quality and build. Thank you once again, Anker, for a high-quality product!.
