If itâs the same as in OP then no, it is glued (âThere was no easy way to open the box, I had to break it open and it was a bit difficult (This is good).â)
I you are samrt (smart) then keep it in one piece.
According to the images it looks identical to what can be seen in HKJâs teardown.
Furthermore, it seems that at the beginning of the month one could buy this unit from banggood for $15.99 shipped, but right now the coupon no longer works - The cart amount just goes down to 0$ and you cannot proceed with the checkout process. Oh, and they are out of eu plug version as well :_(
If someone manages to buy this one from banggood at the lower rate, please let us know.
Haha I donât think so⌠Looks more like a bug to me.
I have just sent them a message using their chat system about this issue.
Let see what will they say.
In relation to the products being discussed in here, I would really like to have some more info about the Ankerâs 40W 5 port direct knock offs.
They all seem to be very similar design-wise, so I assume they are all the same, or very close to be.
I also assume that they are not equal to the Eachine PA40W, as everything similar to that model, has the same shell, and the same model number (and ~10$ higher price tag).
The Ankerâs knock offs donât have those âfeaturesâ.
I own the Anker 5 port 40 watt charger. I only charge my Nexus 7, Moto G, and an iPod Shuffle with it. It works flawlessly and runs cool. I leave it plugged in 24/7.
Thanks for the input.
Even though not professionally tested, Iâm sure that the original Anker product is excellent. It comes from a well known brand and has lots of good reviews.
The sad thing about this product is that Anker wonât ship it internationally and therefore I canât purchase it.
Iâm about to buy either the BlitzWolf unit, or one of the Anker direct knock offs, but I need some more info first.
I need the info because my entire idea is to get some high quality product, as I want my phone to last, and me being safe
HKJ, what do you think about a review of one of those Ankerâs clones?
I bought a number of Vinsic 40W power USB adaptors (VSCW502)
They are good for charging mobiles, but I donât think that they are good for powering a Raspberry Pi. While I have not done a proper test, it seems to me that the output current drops over time - leading to instability in the computer
