" ... I complimented my purchase with an Anker PowerLine +11, foot long lightning cable. ... "
" ... I've got the Anker PowerCore 20100 (Usb C) as well over 1year, so far no issues. ... "
" ... It really looked untidy on my desk area and as I was using an InCharge Lightning-USB mini cable (I was a Kickstarter backer for the original micro-USB/Lightning keying clip) with my iPhone, then why not get one to tidy up the cables during charge time, Urbo sell them in a matching red colour after all, and although costly, they make a great pair. ... The Aukey USB3 hub here makes for a neat solution if you want to keep charging cables to a minimum, the aftermarket options really do work well together, although there is a little gap between the surface and the battery bank with this setup, but the cable is stiff enough to handle the stress (USB dust plugs: “"726141002" (TYPE A)”). ... "
" ... Excellent, apart from it is supplied with micro-USB cable, not USB-C. A warning and/or advice to make sure you have the right cable would be useful. ... "
" ... Very easy to charge the device using the USB port. ... "
" ... I also bought a usb to iPad connector and it powers my iPad pro as well. ... "
" ... I bought a dedicated charger which imho you don't need as the supplied USB allows you to charge from your PC, Laptop or USB Plug ... "
