I got the anker powercore 10,000 open without cutting, just prying with fine and coarse flat heads. No glue. Same design, but with 3 cells instead of 4. Trying to fix a broken usb port and I must have managed to short the cells. Somehow managed to burn myself quite badly, considering how brief it was. Those cells pack a punch! Anyways, thanks for the video, and use a non-conductive tool if you're trying to bend the usb pins back into place.
Thanks for the video. I just disassembled mine. The case wasn't glued, just some really good clips. My unit is from 2016 and the batteries in it were NCR18650B. I tested the batteries and 3 were shot but 1 still has good capacity. Too bad Anker doesn't make these to be more easily opened and with user replaceable batteries. I saved the BMS board and thinking about just making my own 4 cell replacement pack and using it as a UPS for one of my Raspberry Pi's.
For anyone attempting this, you can easily disassemble the case without damaging it using plastic auto trim removal tools. I did it on this very unit with no damage. Those tools are made specifically for jobs like this.
In the exploded picture below, you can see the case snaps together tightly. If you cut a tiny notch in the seam in one corner (big enough to insert the tip a plastic auto trim tool on the opposite from the on/off button), you can wedge the tool along in the corner along the seam, and slowly pop the top off of the case. images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71DDbvHrYZL.jpg
It would have been nice to show a close-up of the 18650 model numbers so we know what batteries they use in it. The whole point of a teardown is to see what components are inside.
I can see the part number quite clearly in the video, what resolution are you watching it at? They are LGGBF1L1965 which are these: secondlifestorage.com/index.php?threads/lg-lggbf1l1865-cell-specifications.8572/ Rated at 3350mAh
Hello Rob, I do not have a user manual for this devise, but can you please tell us a bit more about charging the power bank? Do you have to charge the PB the same as a cellphone battery? 80% 10% 2. What Iff you forget to disconnect the PB when it is already 100% charged? Thanks for a short response.
Hello, it is a lithium-ion battery, so charging it to 80% would probably be preferable, but there's no reliable way to tell when it's 80%. I think most people just charge these fully and then just replace them if/when they eventually start losing too much life (which would be after hundreds of full charge cycles). You can leave the charging cable connected past 100%, it disables charging internally.
Please There is an black (smd )chip with 3 pins near the input usb . Can you let me know what the number on it? I need to fix my anger but I don’t know what is the number of that black (smd)
Found them on Alibaba, it lists "for LG" as the brand name: www.alibaba.com/product-detail/LGABF1L1865-3350mah-18650-lithium-battery-for_60580646895.html?spm=a2700.7724857.main07.10.107150dcj6xEQo
Okay, took another one of these apart and got the dimensions. Cell pack is approx. 2 7/8" wide x 2 5/8" long x 3/4" tall. Control board is approx. 2 3/4" wide by 1" long x 3/8" thick.

I don't think they sell this model any longer, but as far as I know the electronics are proprietary to their devices, so you'd have to buy one and take it apart to get any of those boards.

Thank you
Thanks for the video! I'm going to use the power bank for a Raspberry tablet I'll do in some weeks...
Amazing voice!

An advice, if it hard to remove it do it slowly
CRAZY.. I am trying to do the same thing... Thank you very much
Also, I've subscribed.
cool, this video is what I want to watch.

I would look for you but this disassembled battery pack is now installed in a project and is in use by someone across the country, sorry!
Hello Rob, can you tell me the code of the black transistor near the charger port? The Q1, Mine gots burnt . Thanksnyou a lot!!
Max Segre Unfortunately this battery is inside a project on the other side of the country now!
Dear Max Serge The Q1 same thing as Q3. In mine Anker maine chip is dad and I can serch it.
Can anyone tell me the value of R35? Looks like mine got hot and failed open.
Wich brand are the cells?they seem LG

Can you give us the dimensions of the cell with the board ? I'm trying to include like you in a portable project.. Thanks !
I can! I'm out of town at the moment but I'll take some measurements when I get back.

Where can we get its circuit board ?

@@cannikinn oo ok thanks for the information
How long it takes to recharge itself.?
