Hi, Michael:
on Amazon.com, I found a case for the Anker GAN Prime733 that you
mentioned, but nothing for the device itself. There were Anker numbers
for power banks close to 733, but no Anker GAN Prime733. Did I just
miss it? Is there a new model? I'm in the U. S.
Many thanks,
Margaret

I certainly wouldn't leave my Energrid power bank plugged in all the
time. However, the Anker 733 is designed for that and stops charging the
battery as soon as it's full. It doesn't even get warm. The only thing
it won't do is act as an uninterruptable power supply. You'd have to
push a small button to engage the battery if power failed.

Hi Michael,
I wouldn't leave your power bank plugged in 24 / 7, it could cause
premature failure being that if it loses just a little bit of charge
it's constantly recharging. I normally check my power bank every so
often and I won't charge it until it needs it, or we need to go
somewhere and I want to make sure it's fully charged.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

Hello Margaret. I've really come to appreciate the Anker GAN Prime
733 which combines a 10000 MAH power bank and wall charger in one
handy device. I leave it plugged in all of the time so I know it'll
be full when I need it. It has folding plug prongs which let you
plug it directly into the wall socket or power bar. It has two USB C
ports and a USB A port. You'd also need a Lightning to USBC cable
which Anker makes.
I also have a 20000 MAH battery from Energrid. It gives audio beep
feedback and vibrates to let you know when something's connected or
when it's charging. Between those two batteries, I know I'm covered
for a good eight or nine full iPhone charges. That'll see me through
around three or four days. More if I'm conservative.
If you're worried about longer spans of time, there are much bigger
power banks. The two batteries I have are very portable and both
will easily fit in a shoulderbag. Besides the USBC to Lightning
cable, I would also suggest you get a spare USB C to USB C cable.
That may be useful for other accessories like USB headsets,
emergency radios or Bluetooth keyboards. You can always charge other
power banks while you have electricity using the ports in the 733
charger. Hope that helps a bit. Amazon has a slight discount here in
Canada on a number of Anker products. Doubtless, this is true in the
US also. There are a very wide range of other bands and you'll
hopefully hear from people more experienced with those as well.

Hi, All:
Could someone recommend a power bank or something similar to use
with my
iPhone SE 2020 (SE 2) for power outages from storms etc.? I am
not a
techie and sighted assistance is normally not available. So, Be
My Eyes
etc. would have to be called upon for something visual. I recently
heard about some models from Energrid that are supposed to be
portable
and accessible sold by Atguys, which I've heard about, but have
never
dealt with.
I've heard about Anker products recommended many times on lists
and I
have an Amazon gift certificate. The iPhone is my only Apple
product,
but if there is some way I could also connect either my Victor
Reader
Stream 2 or VRS 3, that would be great.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Margaret
