The Anker Prime Power Bank is a 20,100 mAh portable charger with 220W of total output across two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, capable of charging two laptops simultaneously or powering a phone, tablet, and laptop together. A single USB-C port can push up to 140W, enough to fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro from empty to 50% in under half an hour. The Prime has a built-in color display that shows important stats. You can see the real-time wattage output, how long until the bank is empty, and how much power each port is drawing. You can even pair it via Bluetooth and monitor it in the Anker app if you don’t feel like manually checking it.
The perfect way to charge all your devices on the go
Treat the Prime less like a backup battery and more like a portable charging station. With 140W out of a single port, it can charge a laptop at full speed. It shares 220W across all three ports, so a phone and tablet can charge from the other two at the same time.
Since the Prime has a capacity of 20,100 mAh, it can charge a MacBook Pro from 0% to 50% or an iPhone Pro Max 3-4 times. Despite all that power, it still falls under the TSA carry-on limit, so you can keep it close when you’re on the go. Recharging the bank is quick too. It only takes about 25 minutes to reach 50% because it can charge at up to 100W via USB-C.
The front display is a small color LCD that shows live wattage on each port, total draw, current battery percentage, and estimated time remaining at the current load. The Anker app adds Bluetooth connectivity for deeper control, including setting per-port wattage caps, naming the bank, and adjusting the display timeout. None of this is required to use the bank as a regular charger, but it’s there if you want it.
The Prime weighs 1.12 pounds, which is heavier than a phone-only battery pack and the trade-off for the higher capacity and laptop-grade output. The block-shaped frame makes more sense in a backpack or laptop sleeve than in a jacket pocket, and the matte exterior holds up better to bumps and travel wear than a gloss finish. Anker’s output speeds are rated at room temperature with a healthy battery, so a drained pack or one in a hot bag charges more slowly until conditions normalize.
For anyone whose daily kit includes a laptop and a couple of mobile devices, this is the right size of battery to carry. At 30% off, now’s the time to buy this reliable Anker Prime Power Bank.
