Product Information

Take your standard wall adapter, with a single USB port for charging your smartphone, add two additional ports, a power button, indicator lights, and an internal battery, and you’ll wind up with Anker’s PowerCore Fusion 5000. When QC and PD compatible power banks came on the market, I decided to develop something to use this technology for long-term power supply for cameras.

This ultra-compact charger manages to pack a 5,200 mAh battery inside, as well as both a USB-A and USB-C ports capable of charging devices at up to 15W.It even features a 10W Qi charger on top that allows you to charge up to three devices at once when paired with the two physical ports, making it one of the most versatile and powerful of the bunch. For instance, Anker 537 Power Bank (PowerCore 24K for Laptop), with its 24,000mAh capacity, offers an impressive 18-month worry-free warranty. This battery doesn't have a ton of extra features and has some limitations, such as only being able to charge a single device at a time. Mobile phone charging products include chargers, wireless chargers, power banks, and charging cables, and these accessories can also be used for other consumer electronics devices.

What makes this model unique is that in addition to its two Quick Charge USB-A ports and its 45W USB-C PD port, it also features built-in pure sine wave inverter, allowing devices to be powered through a standard standard North American wall socket (100W). There was never a moment that the PowerCore 5000 heated up, and we find that to be a very well built power bank. For everyday electronics like smartphones, earbuds, or similar devices, a power bank with a capacity of around 10,000mAh might be perfect. Nitecore is known for making fast and convenient third-party battery chargers for various camera models, but the company also has a line of power banks that includes this 5,000 mAh model. Now upgraded with the high-quality battery cells from Panasonic (Tesla's battery cell supplier) to ensure superior performance and safety.We ran the entire test again at a 1 amp discharge rate and only got a little more total energy from the battery, with our meter registering a total discharge of 3343 mAh before it died. Whether it's wireless power banksor specific certifications like MFi for Apple devices, ensuring compatibility ensures a smooth charging experience. It's more complicated than the old USB BC charging standards which just looked for a couple shorted pins etc. however superficial that might be in the face of the full and exhausting test by a laboratory that we might want. With the 5,000mAh capacity, you no longer just get 1 charge for your smartphone, rather the PowerCore 5000 is capable of charging most smartphones 2 times or over.
