I own an Anker.

And like ALL devices, it's important to read the directions likeeee where it says, unplug when fully charged. Don't use as a wall plug power bank to charge multiple devices.

I'm not saying Anker isn't to blame here, but we can't treat technology like it's invincible.

It's not the 90s anymore. Any charger that will overcharge the battery if left plugged it does not deserve to go into production.

True, this one may not be designed to get rid of the heat buildup from charging and passing power through at the same time. They may need to redesign it to be larger or disable the ports when it's plugged in.
