Anchor offers a wide range of accessories for mobile devices, including power supply, various interfaces, USB hubs, and provides additional protection and sound. The brand is part of the anchor Oceanwing International Co. & Ltd. and has its headquarters in Kong Kong, China. In my selection I opted for Astro Mini 3000mAh battery, because the accessory has a relatively small and compact design. In case traveling me the size and the weight of additional batteries would be relatively unimportant, but on city trips or shorter trips I would just as little electronics as necessary rumschleppen with me. With around 80 grams and a size of 8.9 cm x 2.3 cm x 2.3 cm of the Astro Mini anchor is only slightly larger than a lipstick or a small flashlight. He takes in a bag only marginally space and can be transported if necessary even times in the jacket or trouser pocket. The purchase price is currently depending on the color between 14.99 euros and 15.99 euros. The anchor Astro Mini 3000mAh battery is offered to the user in the colors black, silver, pink, blue and red.
Included with the Astro Mini 3000mAh anchor next to the battery has a USB vs. Micro-USB cable, a small pocket for the accessories, a small multilingual user guide and a card for the customer of the manufacturer. Packed the whole is in a stable and stylish box made of cardboard. According to the manufacturer in the production of batteries come quality microchips and Samsung Class A cells used to be the highest quality standards. Unlike its predecessor, the anchor Astro Mini with 2600 mAh, there is probably no adapter plug more. The accessories leaves at first glance a solid and good impression. The aluminum housing is clean and well finished. The cables are tightly and firmly into the USB or mini USB connector. This prevents a fall out during the charging process.
How will the Astro Mini loaded?
Loading via Micro USB cable, what yellow indicates the built-in LED on the side of the head with the color. The yellow light turns off when the Astro Mini is fully charged. To load the included micro-USB cable is plugged into the Mini Micro-USB port on the Astro. The other side of the charging cable is using AC adapter (not included) into the wall socket, or to a powered USB port on a computer plugged. The Astro Mini is fully compatible with all AC adapters. A USB AC adapter with at least 0.8A Output will maximize the load times. Reduced power will increase the charging time reversed.
As the Astro Mini is used to charge other devices?
The Astro Mini was produced to charge devices which require a 5V DC input. Excluded are those which have an input current of less than 50mA. A solid green light indicates that the device loads properly. To load you put the USB cable into the output port of the Astro Mini. The other side of the charging cable is connected to the micro USB socket on the device that you want to store. With Apple products like the iPhone or iPad the included charging cable of the device must be used. The shop also works here without any problems. Finally, only the power button is pressed on the head side of the Astron Mini. The green light acknowledged while charging. Charging is complete when the device indicates that it is fully charged.
As it can be seen whether there is energy in the Astro Mini?
If the Astro Mini still have residual energy, then the green light for five seconds, and then switches off automatically. For this you press and release the power button on the side of the head. If the lights fail, the battery is completely empty.
If the supplied cable is not compatible with the device, then the original charging cable by the manufacturer must be used.
With its capacity of 3000 mAh, the armature Astro Mini has twice the performance of a battery in the iPhone 5S. This means, theoretically, that it can charge up to a maximum of 2 times the iPhone 5S before it needs to the socket for charging again. The anchor Astro Mini no longer, like its predecessor invites, with 800 mA on, but the value increases to 1000 mA at 5V. The 1440 mAh battery of iPhone 5 should therefore be fully charged in about 1 1/2 hours. These are, as always, all just theoretical values because of the device to be charged battery almost never empties completely.
In practice, the charging time has been lying still below the theoretical values with me. The anchor Astro Mini 3000 mAh therefore sufficient for at least a complete charging of the smartphone. That's enough for me personally also completely because I really want to take this accessory only on short trips. If you want to provide them with greater energy reserves, the need to have recourse to an external battery with higher capacity (10,000 15,000 mAh).
My Conclusion:
Who is looking for an external spare battery for his mobile device, which gets to the Astro Mini 3000 mAh anchor a very compact, lightweight, inexpensive and well-made accessories. The battery is only slightly larger than a standard lipstick and fits into any handbag. For relatively little money, you get a reliable and well-functioning workers on the go. Especially the small size and low weight of 80 grams draw the anchor Astro Mini 3000 mAh as mobile accessories. Immediately belongs to a blank smartphone revved the past. I would buy this product again and speak a personal purchase recommendation at this point. Should there even be a problem with the product, then enjoys the Customer anchor a very friendly and helpful reputation!
