Product Description
Model Number: A1245
Anker 523 Power Bank (PowerCore 10K)
The Ultra-Slim 20W Portable Charger
High-Speed Charging
The 20W USB-C port offers the kind of charging speed that you’d normally only find in a wall charger. Charge your iPhone 12 to 50% in just 30 minutes or charge a Samsung S20 in 1.5 hours.
Astonishing Size
PowerCore 10K successfully combines high cell capacity with remarkable portability. Only 0.6 inches thick and weighing just half a pound, you’ll barely notice it in your pocket.
Rapid Recharge
Power up your PowerCore 10K in just 5 hours with an 18W USB-C Power Delivery wall charger (not included). Recharging via a 10W USB-A charger and cable (not included) will take approximately 10 hours.
Superior Safety
Our MultiProtect safety system combines temperature control, short-circuit protection, and many more advanced safety features to give you peace of mind when charging.
Quality Throughout
With a sleek matte exterior and cool-blue LED light-wheel to display battery level, PowerCore 10K is premium both inside and out.
Notes:
- 10,000mAh is the total nominal rated capacity of the internal battery cells.
- The power bank is flight-approved and allowed on a plane.
- Due to software issues, charging the iPhone 15 series is not supported at the moment.

Original review for context: I purchased the "Anker Portable Charger, USB-C Portable Charger 10K with 20W Power Delivery" hoping for a reliable power bank to accompany me on my trips. Initially, the charger seemed promising. It charged devices at an impressive speed, and its battery capacity felt sufficient for multiple charges. However, my optimism was short-lived.
Just a few weeks after receiving it, and crucially, right after I embarked on my trip, the charger stopped functioning. No matter which device I attempted to plug in or the type of cable I used (and I tried several known working ones), it simply wouldn't charge. The power bank's indicators showed a full charge, so the issue wasn't a drained battery.
I was fortunate that I never found myself in dire need of a charge during my journey. However, if I had truly depended on it in an emergency, this product would have let me down.
In conclusion, while the initial performance was commendable, the reliability left much to be desired. I cannot recommend the Anker PowerCore Slim 10K PD, especially for those seeking a dependable travel companion.
UPDATE: Anker reached out and sent me a replacement. The new charger is working perfectly. Great customer service and support!
This unit was purchased less than year ago and simply does not work with the most modern iPhones.
Better engineering please!
UPDATE: Anker reached out to me and promised a full refund.
I have the replacement that does work on order with Amazon, but orders are delayed because Anker didn't ship enough chargers to Amazon. I'm need the charger before delivery and I'm going on a trip so I asked Anker to ship me one direct, but they told me to deal with Amazon which can't possibly ship me a charger that they don't have. Anker simply refuses to accept responsibility for poor design and replacing that charger for those who had the poor design.
However, the power bank stopped charging after about 4 months. I reached out to Anker customer support. Customer service agent was great and easy to work with. I was offered a replacement unit and received it in two days. Props to Anker customer support. Hopefully the original unit I ordered was a bad batch and the replacement unit lasts for a long time as this is a solid power bank overall.

I have bought several Anker power banks in the past which were 26K, 20K & 10K. This time, I bought an Anker 10K PD and an INIU 10.5K PD. Below are the pro's and con's of the Anker 10K PD:
Pros:
- Works as advertised and feels solid just like previous products.
Cons:
- To my surprise, the INIU 10.5K PD is noticeably lighter and smaller in dimension. Hence noticeably more portable. The INIU 10.5K PD is almost 20% smaller and about 40 grams lighter.
- The INIU 10.5K PD came with a carrying case even though its cheaper than Anker. I think it was not a good decision by Anker to remove the carrying pouch when their competition provides it for less.
- The INIU 10.5K PD came with an extra USB-A port and a flash light.
- The INIU 10.5K PD looks and feels much better due to the texture of the exterior material.
- The INIU 10.5K PD has a little tab you can slide open to rest your phone while watching something and charging at the same time.
Conclusion - Anker has good legacy products but they are falling behind the competition in terms of design, dimensions and overall price value. I would encourage Anker to find a way to stay competitive.
Die Ladeleistung von 20W ermöglicht ein blitzschnelles Aufladen meiner Geräte. Egal, ob es sich um mein Smartphone, Tablet oder andere USB-betriebene Gadgets handelt, die Anker 523 Powerbank bewältigt die Aufgabe mühelos. In der heutigen schnelllebigen Welt, in der wir ständig auf unsere Geräte angewiesen sind, ist die Geschwindigkeit des Aufladens ein entscheidender Faktor, und die Anker 523 erfüllt diese Anforderung mit Bravour.
Die Qualität der Verarbeitung beeindruckt ebenso. Das robuste Gehäuse fühlt sich strapazierfähig an und hat bereits einige Stürze unbeschadet überstanden. Die präzisen Details und die sorgfältige Konstruktion spiegeln Ankers Engagement für erstklassige Produkte wider. Das elegante Design verleiht der Powerbank zudem eine ästhetische Note, die sie von anderen auf dem Markt abhebt.
Die vielseitigen Funktionen der Anker 523 machen sie zu einem unverzichtbaren Begleiter. Die integrierten Sicherheitsmechanismen schützen meine Geräte vor Überladung und Kurzschlüssen, was mir ein beruhigendes Gefühl gibt. Die PowerIQ-Technologie optimiert den Ladestrom entsprechend den individuellen Anforderungen meiner Geräte, was die Effizienz weiter steigert.
Zusammenfassend kann ich die Anker 523 Powerbank uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Sie vereint beeindruckende Leistung, langlebige Konstruktion und ein attraktives Design auf vorbildliche Weise. Für alle, die eine zuverlässige und leistungsfähige Powerbank suchen, ist die Anker 523 definitiv die richtige Wahl.
The 10000mAh capacity might seem modest compared to some of the larger power banks on the market, but don't be deceived by its size. It provides ample power to charge your smartphone multiple times over or give your tablet a substantial boost. Plus, it's compact and lightweight, fitting easily into a pocket or bag without adding unnecessary bulk.
The standout feature of this power bank is its 20W Power Delivery (PD) capability. It can charge your devices at impressive speeds, making it perfect for modern devices that support fast charging. The USB-C PD port is versatile and can charge not only smartphones but also tablets, laptops, and other compatible gadgets.
The build quality is excellent, as expected from Anker. It feels durable and well-constructed, and the matte finish adds a touch of elegance. The inclusion of a digital display to indicate the remaining battery capacity is a welcome addition, ensuring you're never left guessing.
In conclusion, the Anker Power Bank with 10000mAh capacity and 20W Power Delivery is a must-have for individuals who require a reliable and fast-charging portable power source. It strikes the perfect balance between capacity, speed, and portability, making it an excellent investment for anyone on the move.
Seems to support Warp charge for my Oneplus device, which requires a 65W power supply, hoping unlike my UGREEN powerbank that this one does support limiting the output down instead of trying to throw out 65W when it only supports 20W, which caused my ugreen powerbank to quite literally inflate in size.
