Learn how to charge your iPhone with the Anker Nano Power Bank's built-in Lightning connector. Follow these simple steps for a hassle-free experience.

Quick answer

Plug the built-in Lightning connector directly into your iPhone or iPad. The 5,000mAh capacity provides extra charge without needing an extra cable.

Why the built-in Lightning connector matters

The Anker Nano Power Bank eliminates the need for a separate charging cable. Its MFi certification ensures reliable performance with your Apple devices. This design makes it ideal for quick top-ups when you're on the go.

How to charge with the Nano Power Bank

Connect to your device: Flip out the built-in Lightning connector from the power bank and plug it directly into your iPhone or iPad. Make sure the connector is fully inserted to avoid intermittent charging.
Check the power level: Press the button on the side of the power bank to see the LED indicator. Four lights mean a full charge; one light means it's low. If only one LED is lit, recharge the power bank before your next outing.
Charge your device: Your iPhone or iPad will start charging automatically. The 5,000mAh capacity can give an iPhone 14 about a full extra charge. Don't leave the power bank connected after your device reaches 100%—unplug to preserve battery health.
Recharge the power bank: Use a USB-C cable (not included) to charge the Nano Power Bank. Plug it into a wall adapter or computer USB port. Avoid using a fast charger that exceeds the power bank's input rating; check the manual for specs.
