Does anyone happen to know the model number for this product?

Looks like it’s A1223. https://a.co/d/1kd4IMS

Hard pass with micro-usb charging. These must be old as hell.

This is not a competitive price regardless of brand. Plenty of new ones at even less than $10 each with USB-C and probably PD for faster charging with the same capacity. Just say no.

Old tech with only USB-A out and MicroUSB in? True.

But I’d sincerely like to see links to Anker-brand quality/trust level 10,000 mAH batteries with USB-C, much less PD, for $10 each, shipped fast and free.

(These do appear to be selling.)

My guess is that most people ordering don’t realize it is micro usb input. I very nearly did that until I checked the comments.

ā€˜Kinda hard to miss - the bottom bullet point in a short list on the front page… and only USB-A mentioned in the title. $10 each might be too good to be true… and turns out to be.

I suspect this is the kind of situation where anything mentioned will be responded to as not on par in quality even if there’s no way to be sure without having one so instead I searched Anker only as for many that will probably be the only thing acceptable, currently the Zolo model A1688 is $13 after coupon on Amazon. Yes it’s more than $10 but that’s being limited to this brand only instead of pointless lengthy discussion over minutia.

Yup for $10 apiece, and a brand I already know and can trust, this isn’t much of a dealbreaker for me. Truly I bough them for my phone and insulin pump, which also charges through micro-usb. Also pretty certain one of these would charge the insulin pump at least about 11 or 12 times. Of course really these are for in case of emergency.

The word ā€œsincerelyā€ was sincere, since I didn’t find any on a search. Yes, there’s a lot of junk out there and we’re pretty careful about things that could catch fire if not properly designed. That Anker Zolo example is close, even if it is USB-C only, so thanks!

Yeah, I’m not claiming that I read the listing very well. It is obvious if you read the short list of features but I didn’t this time.
