The all-new 2nd generation Anker® Astro2 recasts the possibilities of mobile power. Keep multiple gadgets powered up better than ever, whatever your adventure.
Packed with power.
We figure, the more power, the better. Packed with 9000mAh of juice, and featuring an energy efficiency rate 10% above previous generation Astros and many current standard alternatives, the new Astro2 charges the iPhone 4+ times and large-capacity phones like the Galaxy S4 almost 3 times. Keep multiple devices going yourself, and still have juice left to share.
The faster the better.
Waiting was never fun, was it? That's why we created the new Astro2 with a Smart Port that detects USB pin signals to identify your device - whether Apple, Android, or even the Samsung Galaxy Tab - and charge it at full speed. With an additional port, no need to wait in line either.
Double take.
Chic and minimalistic, the new Astro2 may feel reserved at first. But, a friendly "shake" reveals its warm inner light to display the power level or begin your charge. Generous, cool, and delightfully intuitive, the new Astro2 is perfect for your next adventure, or just the daily grind.
For optimal use.
• For simultaneous, max-speed charging of your Astro and other devices, check out Anker's new 25W 5-Port Wall Charger.
• Compatible with all Apple and Android smartphones, tablets and other 5V input USB-charged devices. The iPod nano and some GPS and Bluetooth devices are not supported.

I have been using my iPhone as a GPS with the Gaia GPS app while I have been in the backcountry, and decided that an external battery was a must for extended trips. I also decided that I wanted a backup battery for our iPad when we travel with our kids. I had a hard time deciding what mAh rating I needed, but wound up deciding to go with 9,000 because it will charge my iPhone 4s six times (the 4s has a 1,432 mAh battery) and my gen 1 iPad nearly twice (5,400 mAh).After looking at all sorts of batteries and reviews on Amazon I decided to call Anker's customer service number to try to get a recommendation. I wasn't expecting much, but was very pleasantly surprised when I reached a U.S. based customer service representative who was extremely helpful. She discussed the pros and cons of the various models I was considering, and wound up recommending the Astro2. About a week after my purchase I even received a follow-up e-mail from Anker letting me know that they are always... |

The Anker Astro2 battery is a decent battery with a nice form factor and a soft exterior. The battery capacity (9000 mAh) is on par with others of this size. It includes an interesting accessory I like a lot.In the world of battery packs, it is the little things that separate these devices. The first thing to look at it is capacity and price. This is a 9000 mAh battery in a medium sized package. That capacity is pretty good, but not remarkable. I was able to charge my first generation iPad from completely dead to 100%. There was no more battery capacity left to charge anything else. Given charging efficiencies and the energy required to get to a 100% charge, this is exactly what I would expect from this battery). In other words, the battery pack's full tank of gas is a 1st or 2nd generation iPad (about 7000 mAh battery. Newer iPads will get less capacity. The estimate of three iPhone charges (the iPhone battery is more or less the same size across the board) is pretty... |
