Anker Nano 30W Power Bank with Built-In USB-C Cable
This power bank gets nearly a perfect score because I had very little 'cons' for it. The only issue I could see was the heat I detected after the power bank recharged. I love the size and style of the power bank. It's got a large capacity that allows it to provide power on the go without needing to recharge it after every outing. The price is comparable to other similar products.

User Experience
The Anker Nano 30W Power Bank arrived in a plain, Anker-branded blue and white product box. This is fairly standard for Anker products although some of their more recent charging product packaging has had more of a retail flare to them. The back of the box does identify the product inside, but other than that, it’s fairly ambiguous.
Out of the box, the power bank was ready to start charging. It did only have a partial charge of 29% to its internal battery, but with a 10,000 mAh capacity, it could have provided a little more than 2,500 mAh to a device in need. Prior to completing my product testing, I charged the Nano 30W to 100%. I actually used one of the Nano Charging Station’s USB-C ports to provide power to the power bank.
After 30 minutes, the battery gained 34%, which gave it a charging rate of 1.13% per minute. This also put it on track to meet the expectation that the power bank could gain up to 50% of its battery capacity within 45 minutes of charging.
I love the design of this power — especially the hidden display. It’s easy to read and it gives you all the pertinent information you need while charging a device. I did notice that the power bank was warm to the touch after it completed its recharge. My thermal camera detected a high temperature of 105.1º F and a low of 92º F across the top of the power bank. This isn’t a temperature range that raises concern since it’s much lower than 140º F.
For my main charging test, I plugged a Google Pixel 7 Pro into the power bank using the built-in USB-C cable. The phone began charging automatically and identified that it was getting a rapid charge. I charged the phone for 30 minutes — noting its progress every 10 minutes. After the charging session was completed, the phone gained 34% and the charging rate was 1.13% per minute. In my experience, that is a very strong charging rate. The power bank remained cool and didn’t register a temperature over 76º after charging the phone.
