Quality versatile charger bargain! Must have
This is my first review and it's because I seriously like this product. The quality and functionality of the PowerCore plus mini is only exceeded by its bargain price. I'm not new to Anker products, they always seem to live up to or surpass my expectations. This little guy is no different. I get at least 2 full charges on my iPhone 5s from the charger from 5% or so to 100%. I take it in my bag or in the car and plug in to get me back up to a full charge on the go. I'm not tethered to a wall/car charger and get a charge just as fast as if I was. It intelligently charges your device as fast as your device allows which is great because over charging or rapid charging batteries can seriously shorten their lifespan.The size of the charger is a cylindrical tube 3.75 inches long by 0.8 inches in diameter. It has an aluminum body that feels robust and well-made. It's coated with a matte black powder coat finish. My unit came with a black mesh bag w/drawstring and a USB to micro-USB 24 inch long (23.5 inch of useable length) charging cable. The mini charger has a micro USB input port and a regular USB output port. Just push the LED status button to see Green (50-100%) indicator light, Yellow (25-49%), or Red (below 24%) to see the level of charge of the unit or to activate the unit to send power to the device you want to charge. The indicator light stays on and shows its capacity of charge remaining while charging. It's very easy to understand and use.The mini is small and light weight enough that I've taken it camping/backpacking too. I plug it into wall power before I leave and I'm good for a full charge anywhere in the field when I need it. I've got a rechargeable headlamp that plugs right into the USB of the mini and charges during the day inside my pack when I'm not using it. Same for my GPS, I plug its cable in to the mini charger and it lights right up for use- any power that isn't running the GPS gets funneled back to the NiMH batteries in it and it slowly charges. This is a great feeling to know that I'm not going to run out of battery power on the devices I need and use daily whether in the field or around the city. I recharge my PowerCore plus mini with the dual port Anker PowerPort Solar 21W solar charger at the same time as my phone if I'm out for a couple days or more which lets me recharge at night or on the move. I've begun researching the 800 mile Arizona Trail that spans the North/South distance of my state from Mexico to Utah and will be using a battery powered personal satellite transmitter to let my family and friends track my position via the web and let's me have access to emergency responders if I get into a life and death situation. All these devices would require literally pounds worth of spare batteries where this system mere ounces. The fact that I can keep power to all my stuff when I might be days away from civilization is amazing but even more incredible when I can do it with a lightweight, affordable, and reliable piece of gear like the PowerCore Plus Mini. Maybe power in the field isn't important to you but tell me your phone has never run out when you need it most! I know mine has. This gives that peace of mind that is well worth $10.I'm considering upgrading to the Anker 5000mAh version portable charger to go further between charges but have been more than impressed by the quality/ease of use to price ratio of the Anker PowerCore plus mini. I highly recommend it, you will use it often and I don't want to be caught without it. Thanks Anker for making great, reliable, high quality, and affordable products! Keep it up and I'm a customer for life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mistaken for a pleasuring device
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2013

No kidding. When my female friends saw it for the first time, they immediately responded with "is that a v_brator???"

LOL.

Product is put together well, feels very solid, and keeps the phone charged, at least 1 to 1.5 times (though that really depends on the capacity of the battery in your phone). It's very easy to carry, light enough (could be lighter, but that will probably sacrifice capacity). Charging is done via a micro-usb port, which is great b/c I carry devices that already use micro USB. No special wires to carry, no proprietary wires to carry (you hear that apple??). Charging the phone may take longer than when charging from AC; it's best if you just plug it in and then shove it back into your pocket/purse and just forget about it. The compact size really helps in that regard.

A short, coiled, charging cable is included. One side is full-sized USB male, and the other side has a detachable end where you can swap out the tip with plugs for micro-usb, mini-usb, apple (pre-ip5), and a couple of other weird-looking plugs. This same cable to charge your device can also be used to charge Anker itself, though in my use, I've found it easier to just carry a 3ft micro-usb cable rather than to carry the coiled one that comes with Anker. Iphone users - It does NOT include a plug for the iphone lightning cable so if you have an iphone 5 or later, you'll need to carry a separate lighting cable, meaning, you'll need to carry a micro-USB cable for charging this device AND a lightning cable for charging your iphone. Poop but you can blame Apple for creating a proprietary connector instead of using the industry-standard micro-USB (I have an Android device so not an issue for me :)

The full-sized USB port for charging devices and the micro-USB port for charging Anker itself are very closely placed, so you can't do both... it might sound pointless, but if they were placed farther apart, you wouldn't necessarily have to pull one out for the other.

As with Anker products, it's fantastically packaged and Anker really cares about customer satisfaction. You will receive a polite email asking you to leave a review. And as you can see from countless other reviews, they usually respond immediately to any negative customer experiences and really try to resolve the issues right away. I like their approach a lot - sure, they might lose a few bucks with some customers but that contributes to their overall success. B/c of their excellent customer service record, I also purchased Anker-branded spare batteries for my phone even though the Anker cost a few bucks more (why get this charger then? LOL).

I bought the 2600mah version but I see that the product now says 3000mah. Not sure whether it's just updated specs on paper or the actual capacity has changed. Also this product looks a lot like many other "lipstick" chargers out there, especially those on Facebook ads - the 2 for $18 deals. I'm not sure if they are comparable in quality and longevity but I can say if something goes wrong with Anker, they will take care of it.

The only thing that I find really annoying is that once you plug the charger to the phone, you need press the little button to begin charge. It's not that big a deal, however, when I'm out and about, I typically have the charger in my pocket. When I use the phone, I will disconnect the cable sometimes and when I reconnect it, then I need to take the charger out of my pocket and press that little button again and I have to do this every time I disconnect. It would be better if the unit can begin charging as soon as you plug the cable to a phone.

Side note: I paid $20 for my 2600mah charger.

[Update]: The 3000mah version says "Apple Adapters- 30 pin and Lightning, NOT Included" so I guess no Apple connectors are included, even the old, pre-iphone 5 adapters.

[Update 12/2013]: I've purchased 4 more of this charger to give as Christmas gifts. It's not too expensive and makes a really good gift. As long as Anker continues to stand by their products with excellent customer service, I will continue to be their customer.

[Update 8/2014]: My charger is still working fine. Lately though, I've been feeling that this Anker was getting long in the tooth for not having a built-in flash light (LED) feature that you see in many other competing lipstick chargers these days. So I was about to knock off a star from the Anker model BUT found that these flashlight versions are almost an inch taller. So your pick - shorter and more compact version with no flashlight (Anker) or taller ones with flashlight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anker Astro Mini
Reviewed in Canada on April 14, 2013
Verified Purchase
I had recently purchased a new Blackberry Z10 after years of having an older Blackberry. I loved the features, big screen and apps. However, with the big bright screen, tonnes of apps, Bluetooth, Wifi etc... I found my phone battery almost depleted by mid afternoon. Then I came across the Anker Astro Mini and it was the solution to my problems.

The Astro Mini is a portable power source which can be used to charge a wide variety of different devices. The best thing about it, is the size. It truly is the size of my wife's lipstick. So that makes it extremely portable. The device feels solid, not flimsy like other external power sources. It has an all metal design and feels like it could take a beating. To charge the device is simple - just plug it into any micro USB travel adapter (which is not included, but for $25 who cares). It takes 4-5 hours to fully charge and keeps its charge. It contains 2600 mAh which is enough for one full charge (while the phone is still on) of my smart phone. It comes with a cable that has a variety of adapters which can plug into either an iPhone (sorry no iphone 5 adapter with this model), Blackberry or Android phone. While it is charging the device (which is the same time as a travel charger - for me 5 hours from a completely depleted battery), you can still use your phone. It is very simple to use. After getting this product, I bought a few more for family and friends.

Overall this is a great product. Well made, reliable, and best of all... reasonably priced. I must say, someone at Anker was thinking when they came up with this product. Highly recommend this product to all individuals with smartphones and are heavy users!

Excellent, excellent, excellent.

When buying a portable charger I look at price, usefulness, functionality, and compaction. The charger is small and great to fit in your pocket and it also comes with a mesh case. There are instructions on how to use it and how much charge it has. The manual is detailed yet simple. It can charge both Apple products and Android products and anything with similar charging end that attach to the adaptor. It has a decent battery life and can charge my phone from 5% to 100%. 10/10 great buy if you want something small but useful.

Works really well in charging my iPhone 4S! Came right on time as well. So far I haven't had any problems with the product. Comes with a small pouch to put everything in. In the tittle when it says that the apple adapter is not included it means the adapter you plug into the wall and not actually the part that you plug your phone. I got a little worried after I purchased it cause I thought the cable would only have a USB end and a micro USB. Only the iPhone 5 has the micro USB to charge but iPhone 4S is different. I was glad to know that it did come with the tip to charge an iPhone 4S as well. It charges my phone really well and fast however I find that the days it's fully charge but don't even use it the battery still gets drained a little. Other than that it's an amazing product and really useful as you never know when you can find an outlet.

Great, compact, little battery pack. I have two of these in my camping kit to power 50ft strings of fairy lights I get 10-12 hours run time at max brightness, which is great for a few hours of after dark tent lighting on a three night trip. The quality is solid. Not worried about tossing these around. The price was also good. I also like the little carrying pouch they came with. Happy to recommend these.
