How do you know when to charge the battery pack?
From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, July 5, 2021 3:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Battery pack for iPhone Hi, Malcolm, Funnily enough, I have that exact same battery from Anker. I love it since it's small but mighty, and fits in my small purse quite comfortably. I also like that it has a trickle charging mode for devices with batteries under 50 MAH. Incidentally, Richard, that's what that little button on the top is for, if you get this battery--for putting it into trickle charging mode. I do have a question for you, though, Malcolm. With my other gigantic Anker battery that also charges via USB C, there's a button on it that switches the state of the USB C charging port from the port charging something else, such as my Microsoft Surface, to the port charging the battery itself. The first battery I spoke of doesn't have this same button, which is why I'm wondering how it knows when you want to charge something with that port or have the battery be charged from that port. Any ideas? I know the reasoning behind the port having two states--because USB C is bidirectional--but it does make it slightly confusing. I will say that the Anker redux battery does get it right every time, as far as I'm aware; every time I want to charge my Surface, it does so beautifully--not that you'll get a great charge from it, but still. And evevery time I want the battery to charge itself, it just does. If it didn't, every time I went to use it after being plugged in for a few hours after using it to charge my phone twice or charge my Surface a little bit, it would be dead. Sorry for this sort of off-topic question.

It has USB C for charging the pack. USBC and A ports can be used to charge devices, two at a time if necessary up to 18 Watts of power. It’ll fast charge your iPhone too.

I would suggest buying a pack 1.5 times the MAH capacity of your iPhone. A USB C type and correct cable will also fast charge your iPhone. What an opportunity to get you to spend your money too!

I’m looking for a battery pack that will hold its own charge for a long time when sitting around not being used. I’m not finding it easy to get that specific of information. Any recommendations?
