User Manual Anker A1109 PowerCore 5000

Yes, but if you have an iPhone, you will need a lightening cord
(not included) to charge your phone. The included cord can be
used to charge the power bank.

Yes, PowerCore 5000 can be used internationally. Just be sure
that your USB wall charger is compatible with the voltage of
the country you're travelling to. The input voltage of an adapter
is usually labeled on the adapter itself.

Generally, our external batteries' static power consumption
is so low it would take between 20 and 36 months to drain
completely. However, It is also worth noting that their
chemicals will become less active if left unused for
extended periods. To extend battery lifespan, discharge and
recharge it at least once every 4 months.

PowerCore 5000's output efficiency is 60%-70%.
Approximately 30% to 40% of the battery capacity is unable
to be used because of efficiency complications that affects
all electronic devices. These include power lost from circuit
heat and voltage conversions from the battery, the charging
cable and your device

No, we have disabled this feature due to the detrimental
effects it has on the lifespan of external batteries.

Yes, other cables can be used to charge your devices with
PowerCore 5000. However, to ensure compatibility and the
best possible performance, we strongly recommend using your
device’s original (OEM) cable, a third-party certified (MFI) cable,
or the included cable.

You can safely recharge your powercore in 2-3 hours using a 2
amp or higher output charger. Lower output chargers (such as
some phone chargers) will not charge as quickly or reliably.

It takes 2-3 hours to fully charge using a 2A wall charger.

When you press the button and one of the LED indicators is
flash, you need to recharge the battery. You can recharge the
battery at any time you want.

I'm assuming you mean holding a charge, while not plugged to
anything. Picked up mine after sitting a couple of months,
several times and was able to charge my iPhone twice.

Yes, it has three lights on the side that will be fully lit when it is
fully charged.

I haven't had this long enough to really tell, but with other
chargers from Anker they would hold a charge easily for 4
weeks or more. I would expect similar results with this one.

It’s compatible with any phone. The battery has a USB port just
like your wall charger at home. You just have to make sure you
have an extra cable that fits your phone. This does not come
with that.

Basically the same time (a bit slower) than when using a wall
charger. The best part about using this charger is that you can
still talk on the phone or play music while it's charging.
