Anker ARE the Dogs Doodahs!
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

It seems there's always an optimum price & performance point on any tech. 20,000mAh seems to be it right now, but I do like smaller sizes for pocket carry.Yorkshire Andy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 8:25 pm

The Anker one is smaller than my mobile (width and height) and a touch thicker but not by much..

The monster 20,100 ones I got from Aldi on the other hand well you could do some damage with it

I've got one of the older Anker units - it's chunkier by far

Might be chunky, but they work!
