Benefits & Use Cases
This power bank is ideal for daily commuters who need to keep their phone charged during long train or bus rides. It’s also perfect for travelers who want a compact, TSA-compliant backup battery for flights and layovers.

The trickle-charging mode makes it especially useful for charging small devices like AirPods, wireless earbuds, or smartwatches without risking damage from excessive current. Compatible with iPhone 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, and XS series, iPad mini 6, Android smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices, it offers broad usability across ecosystems.
Important Notes
- When trickle-charging mode is active, the last LED indicator will remain green regardless of the battery level.
- The USB-C port supports both input and output; the Micro USB port is input-only, and the USB-A port is output-only. Do not use Micro USB and USB-C inputs at the same time.
- For optimal recharging, use a 5V/3A or higher charger. Avoid Apple 5V/1A adapters, as they significantly slow down recharge time.
- Charging speed varies based on device compatibility and battery level. As devices near full charge, power delivery slows to protect battery health—this is normal and expected.
- Includes: PowerCore Slim 10000 power bank, USB-C to USB-C cable, welcome guide, 18-month warranty, and access to Anker’s customer support.
