1. **Product "Jane"**
For Anker, there's no need to introduce it extensively. Aunt Zhang from Chang should know it well, but why do I have to be called "up"?
Anker was born in California, USA, in October 2011. Founded by former Google engineer Steven Yang, Anker produces smart digital peripherals such as power banks, chargers, Bluetooth devices, and data cables. With excellent material selection, innovative design, and high-quality performance, it quickly became a dark horse in the digital consumer industry, gaining popularity worldwide.
Today’s two main products are two red charging treasures that Anker once launched across different markets. They are:
- **Anker QC2.0 10050mAh Fast Charger**
You might guess that this product has been on the market for a while. Yes, I bought it in 2015 for 199 yuan. At the time, QC2.0 fast charging was still relatively rare. It sold around 70 units, and even now, it's still available at 149 yuan. It really holds its value.
Here's the basic information:
And here are the specific parameters:
One of the reasons it became so popular is because it was the first charging treasure to support QC2.0 bi-directional fast charging after the technology appeared. This made it a target for many domestic manufacturers.
Another product is the **Anker Charger + Charger**, which is essentially a super charger. I bought it last year for 148 yuan.
Here are the specific parameters:
Can you guess what this charging treasure is? That’s right—it was the first innovative product combining a charging treasure with a charger. Now, many combo products exist on the market, but whether one imitated the other is unclear.
Among Anker’s discontinued products, these two charging treasures were not the only ones with innovation. Now you understand why Anker is known as a "net red" product?
Here’s my purchase record:
I’ve actually purchased the QC2.0 charging treasure three times. The image shows two purchases, and the third was deleted. Why? Because I used it myself, and I’ll explain the real experience later.
2. **Use Experience and Evaluation**
Although I admit I love Anker products, after long-term use, I still feel the need to honestly point out the shortcomings of these two charging treasures. Why? One is for the sake of value-conscious friends, and the second is for myself—no need to sugarcoat anything.
When I first bought Anker, I used it with three phones: the Kidney 5, HTC Niu Pill, and 360 Mobile Ultimate. After some time, I found that the number of charges provided by the QC2.0 charging treasure wasn’t “perfect.†It couldn’t reach the theoretical number of charges. For the Niu Pill, whose battery isn’t too big, it was slightly obvious. For the 360 flagship (3700mAh), it could barely charge half a time. What the heck?
The concept of charging treasure capacity is often misunderstood. The nominal capacity doesn’t fully translate to the actual power delivered to your phone. This is called the conversion rate. A good charging treasure can achieve 80% or higher, while a poor one may only reach 50%. I did some online research and found that the number of charges was quite low. Testers and electronic load testers confirmed this.
The test results I remember clearly were shocking. Several tests showed that the discharge value never exceeded 6100mAh. Only around 6,000mAh. What the heck! That means a 60% conversion rate? No wonder the phone only charged half a time! Did I buy a fake Anker or a defective product?
I returned the first one. Later, I found out that it didn’t support fast charging. The phone’s performance was limited. At the time, there weren’t many similar products on the market. A month later, I bought another one again.
With the lesson learned, I tested the next one thoroughly. The result was just as disappointing. It was almost exactly the same as before! I’m glad I didn’t get a bad product.
Later, when the warranty period came, I realized Jingdong’s after-sales service was hesitant. Without applying for a refund, I waited a few days and got a replacement. Re-testing it, I was completely desperate. Buying two in a row, the defects were so obvious that I really felt frustrated.
Then I did more tests for everyone and pointed out other flaws.
All test items include: Anker QC2.0 charging treasure, combo charging treasure, USB tester, USB electronic loader (5V1A), 360 mobile phone N5, kidney 8P.
First, the QC2.0:
Discharge test:
 Start discharging
 End of discharge
Conclusion: Nominal 10050mAh, actual discharge was 5801mAh, less than 60%. After over a year, the value decreased only slightly, so the decay rate is not fast. This can be considered an advantage.
Kidney 8P charging test:
Conclusion: Due to the fast charging protocol, the charging voltage was only about 4.8V and 0.8A. Even ordinary charging heads perform better.
360N5 charging test:
 Phone starts charging after battery is turned off
 Charging treasure is fully charged
Conclusion: 360N5 supports QC3.0 and is compatible with 2.0. The charging treasure finally works properly at this point, with a value of 8.5V and 1.7A, achieving fast charging speed. However, it still falls short of the theoretical 9V2A. This is not a major issue. The real problem is shown in the second image.
After full charge, the charging treasure had three grids left. How much could those three grids charge the N5? I measured it, but forgot to take a photo. The result was about 30%, meaning less than one and a half charges.
After finishing the QC2.0 test, let’s talk about the Anker combo.
Discharge value:
 Start discharging
 End of discharge
Conclusion: 3218mAh. It was bought three months ago, and the current test value is not much different. The nominal value is 5000mAh, and the conversion rate is about 65%. This is better than the QC2.0 model.
The two-in-one charging device can act as a plug-in charger (5V2.1A) and also function as a charging treasure (5V3A). The plug-in charger has a larger plug but delivers less power than the internal charging. I don’t understand the principle, but I tested it by plugging in the Kidney 8P.
Voltage was 4.93V, 1.06A. For the Kidney 8P, this is just an ordinary charging head.
Testing the two USB ports separately:
 Top port
 Bottom port
The top port has similar values to the charger, while the bottom port has lower values and doesn’t reach the maximum charging speed. The numbers fluctuate a lot, which is puzzling.
Trying 360N5 again:
 As a charging head, 4.91V, 1.27A — not as good as a regular 2A charger.
 As a charging treasure, charging N5.
As a charging treasure, I intentionally used N5 for testing. It was late, so I just started charging and went to bed. I wanted to see if it could fully charge the N5.
Several hours later, I woke up and saw that the charging was complete. The two-in-one charging treasure was completely dead. Then I checked the phone and saw it was at 85%. According to the resistance meter’s measurement, it wasn’t enough to charge a 4000mAh phone once.
**Shortcomings Summary:**
a. The conversion rates of the two charging treasures are not high, and they cannot be described as excellent, affecting the actual number of charges.
b. These two charging treasures are not compatible with the 8P. It can be inferred that like the Kidney 8 and X, they won’t achieve any fast charging.
c. The performance of fast charging and standard charging is unsatisfactory.
3. **Also, it should be objective to talk about the advantages**
Well, we've already explained so many shortcomings. I believe many people feel relieved, but we should also talk about the advantages in the spirit of truth-seeking.
a. All work well. When you actually use it, you can see that the craftsmanship is definitely excellent among similar products. For some people, the quality of craftsmanship is worth appreciating, and for me, it's enough to overlook certain drawbacks.
The overall design idea is restrained, without excessive decoration, a small logo on a black background is enough, giving a sense of confidence.
It's hard to find flaws. The overall tightness, straight edges, smooth surfaces, and consistent design are all very good.
The head isn't small. Two fingers can easily pick it up. It's not too light for men or too heavy for women.
Except for slight scratches near the charging and discharging ports, it's hard to leave marks unless it's dropped violently.
b. It was once a leading product in the same category. From 1 to 10, it's not difficult, and it's respectable from 0 to 1.
c. The battery degradation is very slow. Even after a long time, it still retains most of its capacity.
d. It's more convenient to use. For example, the two-in-one model, if you're not in a hurry, just carrying one is enough.
Even after a few years, the design style remains consistent, simple and elegant, with just a trademark.
Small, easy to handle, and comfortable to hold.
The plug is hidden, so you don't have to worry about it being messy.
Plug into 220V, and it becomes a charging head. Unplug and it starts charging itself.
Don’t be scared by some of my evaluations above. Actually, the discharge efficiency and charging speed aren’t the most important things. When you’ve charged for a while and it’s not fully charged, you can safely take it with you and unplug it. It instantly turns from a charging head to a charging treasure, enough to solve your worries. This is its greatest significance!
e. The brand's blessing, although perhaps only fans consider it so.
Thank you all.
