We are now on to our most recent purchase for portable power, the Anker PowerCore Slim 10K. This battery recently came up as one of the top-rated while searching for additional power packs. I wanted to have something smaller, but yet large enough to charge an iPad while driving in the car. This battery pack arrived and got the job done.

It choose to charge it with the USB-C port and that took about 4-5 hours for a full charge. Once charged, you can plug in any USB cable and charge another device. We primarily use it for iPads or iPhones, and generally get a full charge of the device with this battery. This gets a lot of use in the car on road trips to keep the toddler’s iPad charged up for entertainment as watching movies can drain the battery quickly.

The size is similar to a iPhone 12 pro that we have and is slightly thicker. Overall a reasonable size for a spare battery pack compared to others like it that I’ve had previously.
