Conclusion

Just like other 20000 or 20100 mAh, the recharging time is a crucial factor when you choose high capacity powerbanks. For 26800 mAh capacity, Quick Charger charger may not be enough to recharge in a short time. In fact, PowerCore+ 26800 needs 10 hours to recharge with an included QC charger. Anker made a unique approach to make a recharging time shorter on PowerCore 26800. Instead of using an advanced fast-charging technology, Anker added one more input port so you can recharge the powerbank twice faster than a single input. The recharging time of 6.5 hours is pretty impressive. But, a wall charger is not included. You will need a suitable wall charger for that. PowerCore+ 26800 PD offers the shortest recharging time by using USB-C Power Delivery. The recharging time of 4.5 hours beats all competitors. Even if you don’t own electric devices with USB-C PD support, you may be going to have ones in the future. It has two standard USB output ports for charging your devices without USB-C. And it includes all accessories like a wall charger and cables. PowerCore+ 26800 PD is the most powerful and advanced portable charger in this capacity.
