Amazing Customer Service
Verified Purchase
Not only 5 stars for the product, but 5 stars for the company. I had previously purchased an anker car charger that stopped working within the first year of having it. I was disappointed but it is what it is. Left an honest review on the old product but I still believed Anker to be a quality company so I purchased this charger. It works perfectly, fast charges my galaxy s8. The company noticed my review and contacted me to replace the original charger. I thanked them but said I had bought a new one already. So they went above and beyond to refund me the price of the new charger! Again, 5 stars for the product and 10 stars for the company and customer service. Anker customer for life!
 
Great "fast charging" car charger.
Verified Purchase
Great product does what it needs to do. Fast charged a Samsung S7 and S7 Edge. Charging ports light up blue, does not over heat like most, and only protrudes about an inch. Anker has never let me down.
 
This Anker charger is the real deal. 100% high quality and super fast charging. Worth every single penny.
Verified Purchase
Once again, Anker "knocks it out if the park" with this charger. I can confirm that this works flawlessly and will Quick Charge anything that you plug it in to. This is an excellent investment and well worth the extra few dollars. I would also highly recommend purchasing Anker's braided, tangle free, gold plated Micro-USB cables. They are the best cables I have ever owned, used or seen. Anker is killing it with all of these great products.

Thank you Anker! Keep up the great work and the focus on quality. I am buying more!!!

Fantasic Product, Purchased a Few days ago as a replacement for my Fault Samsung car charger..

Pixel 2 XL, V30 owners be advised
Verified Purchase
It doesn't fast charge then pixel 2 XL, But it does with the v30 other than that it looks very nice

Continuation: this guy's are awesome after they contacted me as a follow up, to see how everything was doing they took care of me and my situation, they explained to me how the technology works and That unfortunately the pixel 2 XL uses Power Delivery technology which needs a C to C cable, while this car charger i bought uses Qualcomm Quick Charge technology. Thus, the difference of charging technologies leads to a compatibility issue. To me just for there customer service no only for there products I will change this from a 3 to a 5 star keep it up Anker.
 
Pretty much what everyone else said is true!
Verified Purchase
While I can't agree with that one review, I will go along with everyone else and say this is a charger that charges stuff. I found this works best if you have a charged battery in your vehicle or your vehicle's engine is running. This does not charge well if the vehicle battery is dead. It works with my QC3 phone to fast charge, which is the first time I've seen that happen. So, you may see a new icon on your phone when you charge with this thing.

Unfortunately, this has not improved my gas mileage or engine performance. However, as it's only intended to charge electrical devices, this wasn't an unsurprising experience.

It's hefty and solid. It doesn't feel cheap, considering the price paid, it shouldn't. This is despite the fact that it's made out of plastic. It has a carbon fiber look to it on the ring and blue LED backlighting, which should have added at least 20MPH to my car, but didn't.

It's small, palmable, so watch it around your best friend or your next Uber ride. Maybe just ask them to sit in the back seat.
 
Charges great, but bring a Sharpie!
Verified Purchase
Pro: This thing quickly charges any devices I throw at it without hearing them up too much. And it looks cool doing it.

Con: The blue light that it glows is INSANELY bright when driving at night. I was able to beat this blinding distraction by just carefully tracing the blue plastic part that the light shines through with a Sharpie. This trick brought it up to a true 5 star review instead of 4!
 
Great at first EDIT ** Awesome customer service
Verified Purchase
I was amazed how fast my phone charged. It worked so well, I didn't have to worry about being stranded without a phone. Until yesterday no charge at all I changed usb cables I tried to charge my tablet too, even tried it in a different car but still nothing. I wouldn't buy this specific product at that price for the time it lasted.

EDIT: Their customer support reached out o me and suggested some trouble shooting advice, after that didn't work they offered me a new charger free of charge! I received it quickly and I'm back to no worries on the road. I have to say this one may be faster and maybe I got a truly faulty one. Great customer service. Great Job Anker
 
Very nicely packed, apealing look and feel
Verified Purchase
charges 2 iPhones 7 plus on the road very fast, faster than my previous $30 car charger i bought at bestbuy sometimes ago. It also charges my ipad pro 12" moderately, even while using the device. Very nicely packed, apealing look and feel, LED indicators on the ports are so helpful in the dảk. I love the simple yet elegent design.
 
BEST AUTO CHARGER ON THE MARKET
Verified Purchase
I tried committing to what Samsung offered but my God was it an maddening experience! Don't go that route, the darn thing just slides out of the AC outlet with the slightest tug or jostle. Not good when your IG obsessed copilot is hovering around 4% battery and it's two hours into a 6 hour road trip!

Anker offers a superb alternative! It nails the one critical thing, the ONLY thing that should matter with these devices. Does it stay in place? Thanks to Anker I can now traverse these ragged Midwestern roads with confidence! Their charger holds firm and maintains electrical contact.

Custom Questions & answers

Question:Does the carbon fiber wrap make my car go faster?
Answer:F = ma
a = F/m
Carbon = 12.0107 g/mol
Isoprene (rubber) = 68.12 g/mol
Therefore, carbon fiber has a lower mass.
Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.
for(M_carbon << M_isoprene){
/*Acceleration is greater with carbon fiber.
*/
}
Your car will be 5.6716 times faster with the carbon fiber casing, with respect to relative mass between the casing and the mass of the car.
 
Question:What is the difference between this item and quick charge 3.0 anker 42w 2-port usb car charger powerdrive+ 2? and why is this the most expensive?
Answer:2 quick charge 3.0 ports vs 1 quick charge 3.0 port and 1 iq charge port. The 2 quick charge 3.0 port model is amazing, fits well in the car power port, and has always fast charged on LG V20s.
 
Question:Will this work better than the flux capacitor?
Answer:No. The Flux capacitor can hold a charge of 1.21 jigawatts (1.21 billion watts). This is a 39 watt charger. So the flux capacitor will be able to charge your phone 1.21 billion times faster than the Anker Quick charger, give or take 39 watts. If you really want a fast charger, buy the flux capacitor...
 
Question:Anyone use this with a type c 3.0 cable? can you really get 80 percent in 15 mins via usb 3 to c 3.0
Answer:No. It is 80% in THIRTY (30) minutes. Not 15. Idk where you came across the info for quick charge 3.0 but they never claim 80% in 15 minutes.
 
Question:Does it support usb power delivery?
Answer:According to https://ios.gadgethacks.com/news/why-iphone-x-needs-25-usb-type-c-cable-fast-charge-0180060/, "USB Type-A connectors ... don't possess the pins needed to facilitate USB Power Delivery."
 
Question:I own a Samsung Galaxy S5. Will this rapid charge my phone?
Answer:This is a quickcharge 3.0 and 2.0 certified charger. You need to search for 1.0 and 3.0 qualcomm quick charge device lists to see if your device is quickcharge compatible. I personally have a galaxy s7 and that is 2.0 certified so it charges fast with my device, yes but not as fast a 3.0 device would, the charger will do it, my phone won't. Hope that helps answer your question.
 
Question:Can non quick charge devices be charged by this?
Answer:Absolutely. I charge my iPhone 6 with it in my car and it seems to charge faster than the AT&T car charger I originally bought to charge it. I think it charges Apple phones and Android phones the same. I also like this one more than the AT&T one since it sticks out less than the other one and it has two USB ports that light up blue to make them easier to locate at night. My Anker car charger is plugged into an outlet in a small armrest console so it's nice that it takes up less room. I also bought a one foot long Anker braided nylon PowerLine charge cord to charge my phone in the smaller storage console and it works good as well. I've only been using it for two weeks, but so far, so good. I'm really impressed with the quality of the Anker products I have been using, and the long list of good reviews they have gotten shows that they make a good product.
 
Question:Can you use any cable?
Answer:The usb cable being used has to support fast charging if you wish to fast charge. All usb cables are not created equal. Look at the specs on cable to be used or being purchased to confirm is is fast charge compatible.
 
Question:Is this capable of fast charging the S10+?
Answer:I don't know about the S10 but it charges my Moto Z just as fast as my 120v turbo charger and is recognized by my phone as a turbo charger. It cost a little more but it's worth it. I have had a few over years and this one is one of the most powerful and reliable chargers I've used.
 
Question:Are both ports Quick Charge 3.0?
Answer:Yes, both are Quick Charge 3.0
