Anker has really built a name for itself in the department of charging. From portable chargers to replacement adapters to power generators, you’ll walk away satisfied with Anker. The stuff the company makes is super reliable and often doesn’t come at a high price point. Right now, Amazon even has the Anker Nano 100W USB-C charger on sale for 27% off. Normally sold at the price of $55, this discount ends up taking off $15 for a limited time. You’ll only end up having to pay $40 while the deal is still active.
This Anker Nano charger comes with three ports and is designed for use with phones, laptops, or whatever else you happen to be carrying on that contains a lithium battery and a USB port. The three ports included are two USB-C along with one USB-A.
High Speed Charging for 3 Devices at Once
The charger from Anker is capable of a maximum output of 100W. If you’re just charging one device at a time, you’ll reach that output speed using either of the two USB-C ports available. Charging with just the USB-A will provide an output rate of 22.5 maximum.
But what if you need to charge more than one device at a time? That’s sort of the main appeal here with the Anker charger’s three separate ports. Well when plugged into both of the two USB-C ports, you’ll find the top one can output at 60W while the one below it can output at 40W—still achieving a total 100W. Whichever device you’re prioritizing the charging of—or whichever has a higher capacity—should go in that top port. Anker has made this very clear visually by marking the top port with a laptop icon and the lower port with a phone icon. Plug your laptop into the top port and your phone in the one underneath.
When using all three ports at once, the top USB-C port will be limited to 45W, the second at 30W, with the USB-A outputting 18W. Slower charging across the board, but you’ll be able to top off the different devices at once. And it’s still likely faster than the charging block that came with your phone.
The Anker charging brick is also fairly compact. When compared to a standard Apple MacBook charger, it comes in at 34% smaller. The prongs are even retractable, so you can easily pack this Anker Nano charger into a bag or even just your pocket for travel.
The included USB-C cable is durable and designed to last. It’s been tested to withstand more than 5,000 bends over its lifetime.
