It used to be the only thing we needed to worry about keeping charged when we headed out of the house was our phones. Well, technically it used to be nothing at all, but I don’t want to think back that far. Now, however, we’ve got our phones, our smartwatches, our wireless earbuds, maybe a Nintendo Switch—the point is that’s a lot of stuff with batteries in them to keep tabs on. It’s impractical to also pack with you a ton of chargers, so instead get one that can handle them all on its own.
The Anker Prime power bank and charging base together normally sell for $330. Though right now if you head over to Amazon, you’ll see the site has the bundle knocked down by 25%. A quarter of the starting price shakes out to about $83, so what ends up left over is just $247.
Super Fast Charging
This power bank is a beast. The portable charger from Anker can produce a max output of 300W. This is spread out across two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. It’s highest speed port is capable of delivering up to 140W which is great for fast laptop charging, but it can do one better. If you use both ports simultaneously connected to the same device, it can charge it at a top speed of 250W. That’s excellent if you need it something at full like now. The product page doesn’t provide the numbers for using both at once, but even just using one USB-C, you can expect to be able to bring a MacBook Pro (M4 Pro) up to 50% in just 27 minutes, or an iPhone 16 Pro up to 50% in just 26 minutes. That’s fast. It’s also able to hold quite a bit of power with a total capacity of 26,250mAh.
Additional Charging Base
Also included with the power bank is a charging base. The Anker Prime power bank can simply be set right on top of it to start refueling. You can keep the base at your desk or maybe your nightstand, then take the power bank with you on the go. The charging base even has its own two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, meaning you can charge your devices like your phone, tablet, or earbuds right from the base. With the two of them together, you’re able to charge up to six different devices at once.
The power bank is TSA-approved, so frequent flyers can rest easy knowing they can ensure they have a charged phone when sitting in a layover city with a delayed flight.
