I picked up an Anker astro 2nd gen 3 external power pack/charger. It is a 10,000mah power pack. When I plug my note 10.1 to the wall charger it charges at around 1200 mAh. The power pack is capable of delivering 2400 mAh. When I used the power pack it never delivered more than 970 mAh. Is this some restriction on the tablet side or is this an issue I should be addressing to Anker?

What exactly are you trying to achieve here? Faster charge times?

Stock charger is a 2 Amp, and I've seen no difference in charging times with other 2A chargers I own either.

It should be putting out more than that. I bought one myself last week and when you first plug it in the app I use shows approx 700-800mA but if you leave it screen off for a couple of minutes then check again you will see currents of approx 1300 -1600mA being drawn. I did a test from full battery and empty note 10.1 P605 it took 4hrs 50mins to fully charge the tablet which is a good indication of everything being as it should.

I will try it on my phone. If the output is low on that also then I will believe there is something wrong with the power pack. Not trying to get faster charge times. Trying to get normal charge times.
