Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

A slim, light 10,000mAh power bank for everyday top-ups, with USB-C and Micro-USB inputs and outputs topping out at 15W. Check whether you need fast or simultaneous charging before you buy: this one does neither, and the Micro-USB input is dated.

Strengths

  • Slim and light at 5.89 × 2.70 × 0.57 in and 7.5 oz, easy to carry through airports or toss into a pack.
  • Two output ports, USB-C up to 15W and USB-A up to 12W.
  • Two inputs, USB-C and Micro-USB, both at 5V/2A.
  • Trickle-charging mode tops up earbuds and small speakers.
  • GearJunkie scored it 8.5/10 and got 2–3 phone charges from a full bank.
  • Rated to survive a 3.2 ft drop.

Weaknesses

  • Charges only one device at a time.
  • The Micro-USB input is dated; most modern devices use USB-C.
  • The 15W USB-C ceiling is modest by 2026 standards.
  • No Qualcomm Quick Charge support.
  • No instrumented lab test of this exact model from the major outlets.
  • Warranty duration for this model is not confirmed.

Full research notes and sources

Size and ports

The 313 is a slim, light bank: 5.89 × 2.70 × 0.57 in and 7.5 oz. GearJunkie lists the same 7.5 oz and says it handled being tossed in packs, dropped on hard floors and carried through airports without complaint. Mashable includes it among the best Anker charging accessories and repeats the 3.2 ft drop certification. Anker describes a scratch-resistant exterior.

Charging speed and inputs

The USB-C port outputs up to 15W (5V/3A) and the USB-A port up to 12W (5V/2.4A). Both inputs, USB-C and Micro-USB, run at 5V/2A and cannot be used together. Qualcomm Quick Charge is not supported, so per-device speed depends on the phone’s own protocol. Recharging through USB-A to USB-C at 5V/2A takes about 10.5 hours, a figure Anker states for the sibling 523 rather than confirms for the 313. The trickle-charging mode, started by pressing the power button twice, is meant for earbuds and speakers.

Warranty and support

Anker’s support pages list a standard warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee for these products. The Anker Warranty Policy page links out to refund-policy pages without stating a duration, so the exact 313 warranty length is not confirmed here. Anker sells replacement cables and offers support contact channels. Maintenance is minimal: avoid extreme temperatures and store the bank partially charged if it will sit unused.

Is it worth it?

At $26 or less the 313 is a fair everyday bank: 10,000mAh, 15W USB-C output, 12W USB-A output, trickle mode and a 3.2 ft drop rating. Anker lists it at $25.99 in the US, GearJunkie tested it at $26, and Mashable listed it at $19.99–$25.99 in a 2025 roundup. Between $26 and $35 it is acceptable but slower than newer USB-C PD banks. Above $35, prefer newer Anker 10K models with higher output or multi-device charging, since the Micro-USB input and 15W ceiling are dated.

Which model this is

This page covers the Anker 313 Power Bank (PowerCore 10K), model A1229: three ports, 15W USB-C output, Micro-USB plus USB-C input, 5.89 × 2.70 × 0.57 in and 7.5 oz. Anker’s current US first-party page names this family the Anker 313 Power Bank (PowerCore 10K). Don’t confuse it with the 2-port Anker 523 (A1245), which shares the dimensions and weight but drops the Micro-USB input.

The Amazon listing for this bank is ASIN B0DFWZH344. Its indexed details mix a 10,000mAh PowerIQ bank with a 24,000mAh laptop power bank, so confirm exact-model specs on Anker’s own page.
