Because Alan provided an exact model number, here's what I found: Website info for power pack with specifications and user comments: Anker | Astro E1 5200mAh Portable Charger | Black - https://is.gd/7P6WXW
YouTube video demo describing features and purpose of lights on power pack: Anker Astro E1 5200mAh Ultra Compact Portable Charger External Battery Power Bank - YouTube - https://is.gd/KJLP75 All took about 5 minutes in totoal to lookup. Many questions can be quickly and easily answered via a quick search if people take the time to research answers for themselves rathewr than putting the simple chore such as this one on someone else. This is not always the best solution, but for about 95% of questions asked on these lists, it definitely is a great solution. Guess I'm suggesting blind people at least try rather than taking the easy way out and asking someone else to do things for them.

Hi Kimber, Although I have the Anker® Astro E1 5200mAh Ultra Compact Portable Charger External Battery Power Bank with PowerIQ™ Technology external battery, I suspect it works in similar fashion to your model. My Anker charger has a series of 4 blue LED lights that are near the top flat face-up side when the charger is lying on a table with the regular sized USB female port on the left top edge, the micro USB port on the right top edge, and the power button on the top of the right long edge. These lights indicate the level the unit is charged. Mine just illuminated when I pressed the power button without any cables connected but I seldom use the power button because mine will power on automatically when it is being charged by plugging its micro USB cable into the micro port on the end of the battery and plugging the full sized USB end into a standard USB port providing the power for charging. I just tested this and since my charger is almost fully charged, 3 of the blue LED lights burn constantly while the 4th one indicating the remaining charge blinked. I believe all 4 burn constantly when the unit is fully charged and it has safeguards built into it so that it powers off and doesn't over-charge. My charger also powers off automatically after not being used for whatever the built-in time period is. To charge my iPhone with my Anker, I plug the iPhone's lightning cable into the full sized USB port of the Anker which causes it to power on automatically and the small lightning end into my iPhone. As I mentioned previously, after all cables are disconnected from the Anker, it will power off automatically after the built-in set time period. I suspect yours will work in a similar fashion but please post back if you have other questions.

Hi, A couple months ago I bought the Anker 20000mAh Portable Charger PowerCore. Now I need to recharge it for the first time only I don't know what the lights mean. My sighted husband tells me when I plug in the Anker it shows a flashing blue light. Does this mean it's charging? When the unit is fully recharged will the lights go out? What does the button on the side do? I tried searching for some user documentation, but couldn't find anything. Any help will be much appreciated.
