We carry too many devices on us, and they all need to be charged. Seriously, it’s more than just our phones and laptops. Earbuds have gone wireless in the last decade which means they now run on their own battery instead of just the power of what they’re plugged into. Watches have gotten “smart” which does add a bunch of features, but also means instead of lasting for three years, their batteries only last three days. Then there’s also tablets, handheld gaming consoles, and more. When we sit down to charge everything it could be a tangled mess of cables and adapters all competing for the same limited outlet spaces. That is, unless you get yourself a dedicated USB charging station.
Amazon now has the Anker Prime charging station selling for 33% off. You could usually find it going for $150, but the Amazon deal has taken it down to just $100—saving you a good $50 for a limited time.
Elevate Your Workspace Efficiency
This high-efficiency charger comes complete with six ports you can use to charge up to six devices at once. On the front, you’ll find the now standard USB-C port—four of them to be exact. The right side of the charging station houses two of the old standard USB-A ports.
All together, the Anker Prime charging station can facilitate charging at a max of 250W in total across its multiple USB ports when more than one are in use. You can actually set each port to be treated differently, manually giving priority to one over another for more efficient charging of your devices.
When used individually, you can achieve up to 140W Max on the C1 USB-C port. That is the port furthest to the left. The next three USB-C ports each can supply up to 100W Max on their own. The USB-A ports on the side are each capable of 22.5W Max.
When you are using all six ports simultaneously, you can expect 100W out of the first USB-C port with it taking on the port priority. The next three will each output to their devices at a max of 45W while the two USB-A ports can reach a combined maximum of 15W.
The smart display on the front will tell you exactly how much power is being distributed across each port. You can also view helpful bits of info when it’s remaining idol, like the time. It makes for a great desktop companion or unit to keep on your nightstand to help reduce clutter when charging all your tech.
