YES, YOU CAN KEEP IT OFF AND USE IT AS A STAND
Good product, like other Anker products. Not huge battery capacity (only charges around 80% of my iPhone 13 Pro), but it’s fine, good as backup.
I almost didn’t get this battery because a lot of reviews say that you can’t turn it off and only use it as a stand, but they’re only partially correct.
You see, that’s right… you can’t turn it off once you stick it, but you CAN KEEP IT OFF and use it as a stand.
First, make sure that the battery is off (no indicator lights) by pressing the button 3 seconds. Then put the battery pack in the back of your iPhone… charging won’t start until you press the button. This way you can keep the battery pack together in your pocket or just use it as a stand and only start charging until you really need it.
Btw, this also happens with other Anker batteries (usb) and my previous iPhone 11. Charging didn’t automatically start when plugging the cable, only until pressing the button and seeing the led lights.
Hope it helps.
