I was disappointed with how little charge the Anker 622 holds.

They advertise the 633 to hold 1.3 charges for an iPhone 13.

The 622, at half the capacity would only extend battery life by ~60% (not even one charge which is a big bummer)




Interestingly the 633 is priced at $79.99 in the US, and €79.99 in EU. The EU price is therefore equivalent to about $88.30.

On top of that, they currently have a $10 discount voucher in the US. https://www.anker.com/products/a1641?ref=select_your_product...

Whereas the EU does not get any discount currently https://www.anker.com/eu-en/products/a1641?variant=415101967...

So that’s $69.99 for the US vs $88.30 for the EU, for the same product.


The difference is more than explained by VAT.


> They advertise the 633 to hold 1.3 charges for an iPhone 13.

I think you have a typo there. The product page for 633 says 1.8 charges for the iPhone 13.

I was confused why 60% extra would seem low for half capacity of 1.3 charges (130%). Dividing 130% by two gives 65%.

But since it’s actually 180%, I agree that 60% extra seems low. Should have been about 90% extra one would think.


You’re right, it’s 180% and I guess extra 90% for the 622, which makes Apple’s offering a bit ridiculous IMO (60% additional charge for double the price of the 622)
