EA7C0963-67C3-498C-8612-567B8CD57102.jpeg I recently received this 10000 mAh charger and wanted to post a brief review. I like this charger because it has a slim design that easily fits in your pocket. Also, the 10000 mAh provides ~3 charges to my iP8. My other power bank is 5000 mAh and will only provide 1 or 2 charging cycles. A unique and useful feature is the USB-C input for charging the power bank. This allows for much faster replenishment of the Powercore Lite. The exterior of the Powercore Lite has a grippy side to allow for easier handling. As most of us on this forum knows, Anker is an excellent company with reliable products and exceptional customer service. This charger is a reflection of that stellar reputation.
 
How are you only getting 3 charges when the 8's battery is 1800mAh?

There is loss when charging with a battery. Power loss to heat, conversion, etc. You can almost divide a battery by 40% to determine its real output.

Charging with higher wattage also results in more transmission loss.

Did not know that, but that makes sense. Thanks. Energy transfer is rarely efficient.
