The Input
The major difference between the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD and the earlier version is that it offers a USB Type C port. The USB Type C port is both an input and output port. You use it to recharge the portable power bank charger or you can use it to charge your USB Type C compatible devices.
As an input port, the USB Type C port can supply up to 27 watts using the included USB Type C wall charger. This fully recharges the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD in an impressive time of about four and a half hours. This is a lot less than the standard Anker PowerCore+ 26800 that needs about 11 hours to charge. This also beats the 6 hours charge time of the Anker PowerCore II 20000 with dual-input and a smaller 20,000 mAh capacity.
The Outputs
The USB Type C port charges the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD, but is also an output port for charging your USB Type C compatible devices. However, you will need to press the LED power wheel before connecting the device to activate the output feature.
As an output port, it can supply up to 30W for charging of your laptop including the latest MacBook Pro with touchbar. A couple of users have also found it handy with recharging the Nintendo Switch.
Aside, the USB Type C port, the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD also has two standard USB output ports rated at 5 volts / 3 Amps. The portable charger uses Anker’s proprietary PowerIQ to sense the optimal current required to charge the connected mobile device and supply just that for the fastest possible charging time.
Other Features
Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD features the same premium design of the earlier model right down to the matte finish and LED power wheel.
