So, if you're wondering about how long it takes to fully charge the Anker PowerCore+ 26800, it comes down to its dual micro USB input setup. Based on what we've found, using both inputs together means you can fully recharge the power bank in about 6.5 hours. That's pretty efficient compared to using just one port, which would take a lot longer.

It's true that the power bank doesn't have USB-C ports, which can be a bit of a hassle, especially with more devices using USB-C these days. But it does come with two micro USB cables for charging. While some folks wish it had USB-C inputs for faster charging and broader compatibility, this power bank still packs a punch with its solid charging capacity.

On the output side, it's got three USB-A ports equipped with Anker's PowerIQ and Voltage Boost tech, so you can charge three devices at once, which is pretty handy. Even without USB-C, many people find it super useful, especially for travel or when the power's out.

If your gadgets mostly rely on USB-C, don't worry. We've seen that using USB-A to USB-C adapters or cables works well for bridging the gap. Sure, you'll need to grab a couple of extras, but for many, it's worth it for the reliability and performance of this power bank.

So, when it comes to the Anker PowerCore+ 26800, set aside around half a day to recharge it fully, and consider getting those USB-C adapters or cables if your devices need them. It's a small effort for a power bank that offers substantial capacity.
