Manufacturer: Anker

CAUTION: Electrical Device. Read the safety instructions!
Step 1
Connect the Anker PowerCore 5000 portable charger to a power source (such as a computer or power outlet) using the supplied Micro USB cable.
Step 2
The three LEDs indicate the charging progress. Once the power bank is fully charged, all three LEDs will shut off. A full charging cycle takes about 2 to 3 hours, depending on the chosen power source (e.g. 2A power charger, max. 2.4A).
Step 3 (optional)
The small button on the side of the device can be pressed to check the current battery status.
- 1 LED flashes: Battery has 33% capacity.
- 2 LEDs flash: Battery has 66% capacity.
- 3 LEDs flash: Battery has 100% (full) capacity.
Additional Information
When the Anker PowerCore 5000 charges a device and the device switches off because its battery is fully charged, the power bank will switch off as well. But it can be switched on again by pressing the button.
The USB port is powered off while charging. It is therefore not possible to charge another device at the same time, thus no pass through charging.
The Anker PowerCore 5000 should be charged every 4 months at the latest in order to avoid damages to the battery.
