A solid little charger that you can rely on.

The media could not be loaded. Anker has a reputation of building solid batteries and chargers, and this device is no exception. Smart Chargers help to allow your battery to last longer as they can adjust the amount of electricity going in while charging.I've only had this now for about a week but have been really impressed with it. First off it's form factor is nice and small which allows it to be portable. The plugs can be set into three positions: closed, in the upright position, or in the straight position. Depending on what outlet is available to you or how you want to connect your cable, this allows you to put it into multiple directions. Especially for those of you who are students and need to recharge your devices on the fly, this is super handy for that because you never know where the outlet will be that you will need.While charging, you can see the wattage that they are using and it does fluctuate as it starts to get near full to reduce battery degradation and heat. As well, one of the cutest things about this is the small little animations that come up on the screen while it is charging. This then gives you feedback on the amount of power well at the same time showing you the small little scenes in the background. Is this necessary? Probably not but it's a fun little feature.Overall, some pluses I like about this are its form factor, it's usability, and that you can trust your device will get charged properly and fully without worrying the power cable is correct. If this little screen and animations and feedback aren't necessary to you, then there may be other devices that will do similar charging, but I like the additional information that this comes with.

Works as described and unique. I would recommend this product. One observation is that you have to have the plug outlet where you can see it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super cool

Very gimmicky but also very worth it. The cute little animations and the charger itself are very high quality. If you like cool tech gadgets, this charging brick is for you.

I am so impressed!! This little charger .I used it right out of the box to charge my NOCO jump box . It charged it in less than 2 hours !This thing normally takes all day or overnight night to charge .As soon as you plug something into it, it tells you how much the device is charged . And identified the device on the little display.So far ? I am really impressed. Actually prob buy 1 or 2 more small enough to carry in a bag or a sling to charge anything. LOVE IT !Now - I have only had it a few hours but I am a believer.

This little anchor charger works wonderful. Read the specs. You would be surprised. I like to display a lot very happy quick charge.

Stable and consistent power delivery; No need for "Care" mode for some Android phones

What's included:- Anker 45W nano charger with smart displayThe Anker 45W nano charger with smart display charges both older and newer phones with a relatively predictable manner, and although I was only able to test Android phones, I found that the older phones I tested, never push the charger to it's limits thus eliminating the need for the care option that is available, and a more reasonable option with newer phones.Characteristics:The charger is quite small and well made and has a couple of configurations for plugging into an outlet, although I am not a big fan of the configuration where you plug it directly into a wall with the screen facing outward. I found that on occasion when plugging it into an outlet this straight on configuration is a bit of a nuisance since sometimes the prongs will collapse slightly.The charger comes with one USB-C style port and a button that is used to control the charger's options including what gets displayed on the LCD screen as well as what mode to use.Being a nano charger this Anker charger does a really nice job at only utilizing one receptacle in a normal two receptable plug which leaves the other one open for anything else you may need it for.LCD screen:One of the highlights of this charger is the LCD screen that conveys various messages in a high definition screen and that means that while the screen is small, its still very clear and easy to read the messages as well as viewing the cartoon-like actions on the screen.But does the screen serve a useful purpose or is it really a gimmick? Based on my experience I am somewhere in the middle and here's why. First, the screen provides a numerical value for the watts being charged into a phone. This is something that I personally find very useful and informative but there are two small issues - one, the numbers is small and could have been larger. Second, the value being conveyed is at time accurate and at other times inaccurate. As a general rule of thumb, if there are less than 20W being transferred, the value on the charger's screen is either accurate or one watt off - and when above 20 watts it can be 1-2 watts off. This is not bad but its not precise.Next, I do really like that there are some thermal indicators conveyed by the charger, but here too, you have to switch screens to those thermals rather than being notified if things warm up (although I never observed a hot circumstance so I cannot say if you are notified or not under that circumstance) but for the warm or cool readings it up to you to search out the thermal screen, moreover there are no actual numbers given to understand how hot things are, although in my testing, I can say without a doubt that the charger does warm up at times which I will discuss more next.Performance:At the end of the day, this charger's value to me is based on its performance. So I decided to test three phones, a Google Pixel 10 (newer phone) and a Samsung A71 (mid-aged phone) and Pixel 3A (older phone). Unfortunately, all the phones I tested are Android based phones which is a limitation of my testing since I do not have access to any iPhone models.The way I tested the charger is by plugging the charger into an outlet, plugging in a USB meter into the chargers single USB-C port, using a USB-C to USB-C cable from the USB meter to each phone (and just to note, I used the same cable for all three phones). I also tested each phone a day apart from a starting point of xero percent charge, and when not testing the phones I kept the charger completely unplugged so it would be completely cooled when used rather than testing phones one after the other and not giving the charger time to cool down.I have attached charts which demonstrate the power charging curve for each phone and a couple of things become apparent. First, the Samsung A71 and Pixel 3A charge pretty efficiently and never cause the USB meter's sensor to warm up. While I cannot make direct commentary about the thermals of the charger (since I do not have a surface probe), its reasonable to assume that the charger remained "relatively" stable with respect to thermals if the USB meter's thermals did. This can be further supported by the fact that when I would touch the charger it was never hotter than slightly warm I believe this also contributes to the fact that there is stable consistent power transfer to these phones throughout without any throttling along the way. Lastly, in my mind, it makes the "Care" mode irrelevant for these phones and perhaps older Android phones in general because the thermals don't support sacrificing speed of charging for some extra cooling in those cases. Just to highlight what the "Care" mode is, its the lowering of power transfer to a phone which keeps the charger cooler in the process. The benefit is cooler temps, the cost however is longer charging times because less power being transferred.In the case of the Google Pixel 10, its a slightly different story. While the Pixel 10, a brand new phone model, displays a similar style of charging, with a dramatic rise at the start and then a continuous deterioration over time, there is some thermal impact on the charger. For example, I observed a temperature on the USB meter of 45 degrees which I want to point out is not the temperature of the charger, but does indicate a "relative" increase in the temperature of the charger vs the other phones - and here this inference is supported by the fact that touching the charger, its much warmer. So if there is a circumstance where the "Care" mode COULD be used, its near the initial stages of charging for a new Android phone. One additional note regarding thermals, is that there is a bit of a delay from the time the USB sensor indicates hotter temps vs the lag in the time the charger heats up - there's about a 3-5 minute lag.In my mind, I don't see the heat being generated by the charger being a particular concern and see no real value for me personally in using the "Care" mode. I would however point out that the "Care" mode is something I would give consideration to IF I charge one device after another using the charger without giving it's internal components time to cool down between charging devices. Furthermore, if you plug this charger into a receptacle near a heat register with ambient heat near the charger, it WILL impact it's thermals so when it comes to placement, its best to use this charger away from any kind of ambient heat sources.So my basic conclusions when it comes to performance of this little charger is that it works well, offers consistent patterns of power charging, power negotiation is not an issue (its starts in one mode and stays in that mode), I experienced no sudden unexplainable large drops in power delivery, and the "Care" mode is a good "nice to have" when wanting to charge one device after another but outside of that, not really necessary. The screen could be more focused more on performance rather than cartoon-like imagery and scenes, and the claims of being able to recognize different models of phones is something that I did not see, at least with the phones I tested.Size:Finally when it comes to the size of this nano charger, It's easy to take on the road, and can be used in tight power bars which space is a premium. While it only has one port, the fact that it's a USB-C style port is useful given how most of the things I own will benefit from this type of port.This is a useful charger which has proven to me that it meets my criteria as a charger that I feel confident in using for any of our phones or other items on a day to day basis. I also know from my tests that if I want to optimize its performance it will happen when charging items after the charger's internal components cool down. I would therefore recommend this charger, however if looking for a charger that will charge multiple components, I would suggest picking up a higher powered multiple port charger rather than something like this and attempting to charge one device after another because the multiple port charger will perform better and this one will underperform.Cheers,
