The Bottom Line
We haven't scored the Anker Nano Power Bank 5000mAh, and neither has anyone else we can cite. It's here for its verified specifications and dimensions, which is what the fit tools run on — a score is an editorial judgement, and we don't hand one out until someone has a basis for it. What this page can tell you is measured: 105g, $27, and how both sit against every other electronics & power product we track.

How it compares
Against the 13 electronics & power products we hold published specs for.
At 105g the Nano Power Bank 5000mAh is lighter than 8 of 12 alternatives we track. The category median is 195g.
At $27 it undercuts 11 of 12 of them, against a median of $60. That works out at $26 per 100g — below the $40 median for electronics & power products.
Weight and price come from published specifications. Cost per 100g is a blunt measure — it rewards light gear and says nothing about durability or whether the thing works — so treat it as one input, not a verdict.
