The user manual should answer all of these questions, and if not, how about 
running a Google search or contacting the manufacturer.

Subject: Re: Any pointers in using an Anker E7 Astro 2 Gen battery with my 
iPhone 6, and some observations about it.

I'm very happy with my Anker battery. I'm certain it's the same one you have 
Kevin. The button on the side near the top is the only control on the batttery. 
I would need to use a light detector app to tell if the led flashlight was on 
or off. There isn't any way to tell how much charge is in the battery. I plug 
it in every month or so to keep it full and ready. I also have a smaller 
lipstick sized Anker battery for those times when you don't need a whole bag of 
accessories and just want your phone.

        Hi.

         

        I just got this nice battery to use with my iPhone.  It has a whopping 
storeage of 26,500 ma.  I got it off Amazon for $99.99 U.S.  It came with a USB 
charger that can handle 2 devices and a mesh sack which will hold both the 
battery and my iPhone 6S plus in its Otterbox Defender case.  I’d like to know 
if there are any tips in using this battery?  Specificly, I’m curious about how 
it’s supposed to handle devices when plugged into it.  Someone that I know has 
an E5 Anker with what he describes as having IQ technology.  He says that if 
you unplug your iPhone from the USB cable and leave it connected to the 
battery, if you plug in the iPhone to the cable it’s not supposed to start 
charging it.  Mine does start charging the iPhone if I unplug it from the 
battery and leave the USB plug hooked to the battery, then plug the iPhone back 
into the cable.  Should the Anker battery operate the way mine does?  If so, is 
there a power switch on the Anker to turn it off, or is it smart enough to 
handle when things are plugged into it?

         

        Here are two things about the Anker, one that could come in handy, and 
one that is a potential battery drain if you’re totally blind with this 
battery.  The nice feature is it has three USB ports on it, so you can charge 
multiple iDevices, or anything with a USB connecter on it.  The thing that can 
be a potential battery drain for totally blind users is if you press down and 
hold on the button that displays the charge level, it will activate an LED 
flashlight, and this is quite bright.  To turn it off, just press down and hold 
on the indicator button.

         

        That’s all I can think of.  I’ve had this battery for about four hours. 
 I plugged it in to top it off for about two hours, then I unplugged it from AC 
and plugged in my iPhone.  I’m happily listening to the Yankees Red Sox game 
right now, and I do have some vision, so I know the LED flashlight is off.

         

        Have a blessed day and don’t work too hard.
