I’m a pretty massive fanboy of Anker products, as they’re one of those companies who make a whole ton of accessories I use, and ever single one of them have been great. While I’ve never needed to use their customer support, their products also come with absurd warranties (Like their Lightning cables have lifetime warranties""") and they’ll just swap ’em out if you have problems. So, when you combine great stuff, good prices, ridiculous warranties, and good customer service… That’s how you turn me into a customer for life (and consequently the same reason I buy everything possible from Costco).
As hardware manufacturers continue with their silly obsession with making all electronics as thin as possible, external battery packs have basically become a required accessory for any power user. I’ve got a ton of them, and seem to constantly be picking up new ones because their capacity regularly increases while their weight decreases. (I was cleaning a few days ago and found my super old Mophie battery and that thing is a brick.)
Two neat batteries worth checking out from Anker these days that seem worth highlighting for be a bit more special than your typical battery pack is their new PowerCore+ 19000 PD. This is a hybrid charger, which is something I had never heard of before. Basically, instead of just having a USB-C ports and a few normal USB ports that just deliver power, this particular battery goes a step farthe...
