Drains your battery even when nothing is connected

First, I have over a dozen Anker products and love them. But that has a major downside. It consumes power even when nothing is plugged into it. My Aukey charger isn't working so I'll resort to that. The cigarette socket in my truck, by design, is powered even when the truck is off. I've used the Aukey USB-A charger for the past few years with no issues. A week after I started using this Anker charger, my truck battery was empty. It was an old battery so I just figured it was around that time so I bought a new battery. Two weeks later the battery of my new truck was dead. I needed to start my truck and decided to unplug this charger. 2 weeks and no problems so far. Mind you, it drains my battery when nothing is plugged into it. I never had this problem with my old Aukey charger.

Pros
  • Faster than fast: Power Delivery technology charges your USB-C devices at lightning speed, while our flagship Power 2.0 technology offers full-speed native USB charging.
Cons
  • Out of style
