Great idea! I once took a power bank with me on a camping trip to charge my phone, only to forget the USB cable. I felt like such a muppet. Fortunately I was able to borrow one from a mate, but now I have a sticky label attached to it telling me to pack the USB cable. This is a great idea by Anker for those grab and go in a hurry situations, like during all the tornado outbreaks we are having in Ohio of late.

I like the idea too. Can just pack one thing and not have to worry about "extras" which I am sure we have all forgotten at one point or another.

I have this and I like it but something that bothers me about it is the shape/size of the power bank in combination with the length of the attached cable. Given that the cable is so short if you need to use the phone for anything while it's charging with that cable you'd need the to hold the bank behind the phone but because it's so wide it is hard to hold both the bank and your phone on top of it. It feels too clunky. I personally would prefer to see it be slimmer even if that means the device needs to be longer and wider. I often find myself using an external cable for this reason instead of the included cable. This would also make it easier to slip both devices in my pocket while charging.

I'm wondering how well the cable will fold flat so you can pack it tightly, I imagine it will wreck the cable at the crease.

I have pinned it down with a rubber band. Does not seem to hurt it in the short term.

I absolutely HATE built-in cables! If the cable goes bad, you've lost an entire port. Plus, it just looks bad - the 533 looks so much better. Lastly, it makes sure you can not use a higher quality cable even if you wanted ir needed to. If they would lose the cable, id like the nano better than the 533.

Mokin makes a pimp one.. I’m with you though. It screams Tacky. But.. The one I’m talking about does 65w and the attached type c tucks in way nice and both ends are removable if you don’t want it on.. so not permanent attached. It uses a right-angle connector to stay flush. Oh and they cost like $40 which is killer for all the PD and PPS charge modes they have.

The cable doesn’t go bad though. I’ve had this more than a year and cable is as decent and secure as it was new. The pros are better than cons.

@@RationallySkeptical I use an oscilloscope with my tablet. The tablet at about 75% battery doesn’t supply enough power to run the oscilloscope. I run a type C powered hub and supply power to that with a battery bank. I just thought it would be nice if there were a hub with a built it battery. It’s not as messy as it sounds.

@Wanderer001_Reviews Those cables aren't good enough for me either. I like premium cables with power displays, LEDs and 240W capabilities. I absolutely hate built in cables. If the cable goes bad, you've lost an entire port. Plus it looks bad. The 533 is much more elegant looking.

Anker did think about that and the power bank can be charged via the top port on the battery and still has two USB ports that can be used to charge devices should the attached cable every stop working.

Also the cable is very decent while it’s flexible. It’s been more than a year I’m thanking having an integrated cable so I don’t have to take care of another cable. The cable itself, port, and connector side have no sign of use after all these months of heavy use.
