The Anker Zolo 20,000 mAh external battery is a portable power bank designed to charge smartphones and other small devices multiple times on a single charge. It can provide up to four full charges for an iPhone 15 and is currently available at a discounted price of 19.99 euros at Lidl, a significant reduction from its recommended retail price of 34.99 euros. This represents a discount of about 43%, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers looking for a reliable power source. The battery includes a 15 cm integrated USB-C cable that is said to be highly durable, capable of withstanding more than 10,000 bends. It also features a 30 W output and a 20 W input, allowing it to charge devices quickly while also supporting the charging of the power bank itself. In addition to the USB-C port, it includes a USB-A port to charge multiple devices simultaneously. A small built-in screen displays the remaining battery percentage, giving users a clear idea of how much power is left. According to Anker, the 20,000 mAh capacity can provide up to 3.79 full charges for a Samsung Galaxy S24. The battery uses ActiveShield 2.0 technology to monitor and regulate temperature, ensuring safe operation. It also employs certified CB cells, which meet international safety and performance standards. However, the power bank’s charging speed is limited to 20 W, which may result in longer charging times compared to higher-powered alternatives. While the 30 W output is sufficient for smartphones, headphones, and portable gaming consoles, it may not be enough to charge larger devices like laptops. The battery’s size is described as more like a brick, making it more suitable for carrying in a backpack than in a pocket. Anker claims it can charge an iPhone 15 from 0 to 57% in just 30 minutes, highlighting its efficiency for quick power boosts on the go.
