Anker Nano Power Bank A1653 Review: 5000 mAh Mini Portable Charger

The Anker Nano Power Bank A1653 is a compact, 5000mAh portable charger that promises high-speed charging and convenient portability. Having used it extensively over the past few weeks, I’m ready to share my in-depth review.

This power bank boasts several key features: Its dual USB-C ports with PowerIQ 3.0 technology enable fast charging up to 22.5W. The integrated, foldable USB-C connector is a clever design that eliminates the need for a separate cable and keeps things neat. The small size makes it extremely pocketable, perfect for on-the-go charging. The white color adds a touch of style without being ostentatious.

The Anker Nano Power Bank A1653 consistently delivered on its promise of fast charging. I tested it with my iPhone 15 and Samsung S23, and both devices charged significantly faster than with standard chargers. The 5000mAh battery capacity was enough to fully charge my iPhone twice, which is excellent for its compact size. The heat dissipation was also impressive; even during extended charging sessions, the power bank never felt excessively hot. The foldable USB-C connector proved to be durable and incredibly convenient, eliminating cable clutter. The small size was a major plus – it easily slipped into my pocket, and I barely noticed it was there.

However, there were some minor drawbacks. While the 22.5W output is good, it’s not the fastest on the market. Also, the included cable is rather short, which might be inconvenient for some users.

Pros:

  • Fast charging (up to 22.5W)
  • Compact and portable design
  • Integrated, foldable USB-C connector
  • Good battery capacity (5000mAh)
  • Effective heat dissipation

Cons:

  • Not the fastest charging power bank available
  • Short included cable

Overall, the Anker Nano Power Bank A1653 (A1653) is a highly recommended portable charger. Its blend of fast charging, compact size, and convenient features makes it a great option for anyone who needs a reliable and portable power source. While it might not be the absolute fastest charger on the market, the convenience and portability more than make up for it. I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable and easy-to-carry power bank.
