Performance
The dual input charging is a definite plus. It noticeably reduced charging time compared to single-input power banks I’ve used in the past. I consistently achieved faster charging speeds with my various devices – a phone, tablet and headphones. PowerIQ and VoltageBoost lived up to their names, intelligently optimizing charging based on connected devices. The 26800 mAh capacity easily lasted for multiple charges on my phone and a couple of full charges on my tablet. The device itself didn’t get excessively hot, even during extended charging sessions, demonstrating good thermal management.
While the charging speeds were impressive, I did notice slightly slower charging speeds compared to using the device’s own dedicated fast charging wall adapter. However, this is to be expected. The charging speed will differ depending on the source of power used.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: High capacity, dual input fast charging, multiple USB ports, PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technologies, good thermal management, reliable performance.
- Cons: Slightly slower charging speeds compared to dedicated fast chargers, weight might be an issue for some users (495g).
Final Verdict
The PowerCore A1277H11 26800 mAh portable charger is a solid performer. The dual-input, double-speed charging is a significant advantage, and the safety features provide peace of mind. While the weight might be a minor inconvenience for some, the overall performance and long battery life make it a worthwhile investment for anyone needing reliable power on the go. I highly recommend this power bank.
