Jackery 6000 Review Summary

Jackery portable travel charger bar 6000 mAh is a decent portable charger but is heavier, has lower battery capacity, and charges/get-charged much slower than other competing compact portable chargers in the similar price range. We recommend Anker PowerCore II 6700 or RAVPower 6700 as they deliver better performance, lower weight/size, and offer better value for money.

Pros

  • Fast charges iPhones at twice the speed of Apple charger
  • Charges Android phones from zero to 50% in 50-60 minutes
  • Robust build with Aluminum outer shell
  • Available in two colors – black and an eye-catching orange

Cons

  • Heavier than similar compact power banks
  • Larger than similar capacity portable chargers
  • Battery capacity is not adequate for Android phones and latest iPhones
  • Anker PowerCore II 6700 or RAVPower 6700  offer more battery capacity at lower weight

Jackery 6000 portable travel charger bar has a battery capacity of 6000 mAh. This portable charger has dimensions of 3.8 x 1.8 x 0.9 inches and weighs 5.3 oz (about 150 grams). When compared with other power banks of similar capacity such as Anker PowerCore II 6700 (4.2 oz) or RAVPower 6700 (4.2oz), the weight of this power bank is quite high.

Jackery 6000 portable travel charger supports a maximum charging current of 2.1 amps. This enables it to fast charge all iPhones (including iPhone XS/XS Max, XR, X, 8+) from zero to 50% in 40-50 minutes, and fast charges all the latest Android phones from zero to 50% in 50-60 minutes.

The power bank does not support QuickCharge output or input.

The power bank charges all small-screen iPhones (8, 7, 6S, 6, 5S, SE) two times. It charges all large-screen iPhones (XS, XS Max, XR, X, 8+, 7+, 6S+,6+) and all latest Android phones (including Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+, S9, S8) more than once.

Jackery 6000 gets fully charged via the micro-USB port in about 5-6 hours via 2 amp input. The charging time of this portable charger is much higher than the similar capacity power banks of Anker or RAVPower, which gets charge in about 4 hours.

Anker PowerCore II 6700 is a better portable charger when compared to Jackery 6000 power bank.

Jackery 6000 vs. RAVPower 6700

Jackery 6000 has an input current of 2.1 amp which is lower than RAVPower 6700 ‘s input current of 2.4 amp. Both the power banks have the same maximum output current 2.0 amp. RAV Power comes with a battery capacity of 6700 mAh, quite higher than the Jackery portable charger’s 6000 mAh. The RAV Power power bank weights 4.2 oz (119 grams) which is much lower than the 5.3 oz (150 grams) of Jackery 6000.

After comparing both the portable chargers, the RAVPower 6700 easily comes on the top due to its much lower weight and about 10% higher capacity even despite the 1 oz (30 grams)  lower weight!
