Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Copper conductor corrosion and oxidation, Thermal degradation of PVC jacket and Microplastic shedding from jacket wear on the Anker and not on the .
  • We flag Plasticizer leaching (phthalates, adipates) from TPU, BPA or BPS residue in polycarbonate shell, Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing from adhesives or seam sealants and Microplastic shedding from degraded TPU on the and not on the Anker.
