I tried using the Anker Power Bank (30W, Fusion, Built-In USB-C Cable), a USB charger with a built-in USB Type-C cable that can charge smartphones and tablets and can also be used as a charger by inserting it into an outlet.



Many people have probably experienced the situation of 'I forgot the cable and can't charge' or 'I forgot to charge the mobile battery and can't charge' when trying to charge a smartphone or other device using a mobile battery while on the go. The battery-equipped USB charger ' Anker Power Bank (30W, Fusion, Built-In USB-C Cable) ' released by Anker on Thursday, March 21, 2024 has an integrated USB Type-C cable, so you can charge your smartphone without having to carry a cable, and if you plug it into a power outlet, it can also be used as a charger for MacBook Air and other devices, so I actually tried using it.

The box for the Anker Power Bank (30W, Fusion, Built-In USB-C Cable) looks like this.



Inside was a battery-powered USB charger and instruction manual.



On the front of the battery-equipped USB charger is a button for checking the remaining battery level and the letter '30W' indicating the maximum output of 30W when plugged into a power outlet.



On the left side there is one USB Type-C port that supports Anker's proprietary power supply technology '

On the back there is only the words 'Designed by Anker Innovations.'



The Anker Power Bank (30W, Fusion, Built-In USB-C Cable) has a capacity of 5000mAh, and when plugged into an outlet, the USB Type-C port output and the built-in USB Type-C cable output support 5V = 3A / 9V = 3A / 15V = 3A / 20V = 2.25A (maximum 30W), respectively. The total output is 5V = 3.6A (maximum 18W). In addition, when used as a mobile battery, the USB Type-C port output and the built-in USB Type-C cable output support 5V = 3A / 9V = 2.22A / 10V = 2.25A (maximum 22.5W), respectively, and the total output is 5V = 3A (maximum 15W).



By pressing the battery level check button on the front, the display on the top will tell you the remaining battery level.



On the bottom there are various certification marks and a terminal for the built-in USB Type-C cable.



The dimensions of the battery-powered USB charger itself, excluding the cable, are 83mm long x 50mm wide x 31mm thick.

The actual weight is 202g.



To use the built-in USB Type-C cable, simply pinch the terminal and pull it out.



There are magnets on the back of the terminal and on the main body, so it snaps together when you put it back.



When using as a charger, pull out the plug.



Just plug it into the outlet.



If you leave it plugged in and unconnected to any other devices, the display on the top will show you how much battery is left, and a green icon will light up to indicate that it's charging.
