Need to make sure you never run out of battery? A power bank is the answer. The Anker Prime Power Bank, 220W Max 3-Port Portable Charger, is a great option if you’re looking for a powerful, travel-friendly power bank that delivers serious charging for your mobile devices (phones, tablets, and laptops). This power bank has a 20,100mAh battery that Anker estimates provides up to 4.2 days of continuous video streaming on an iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is very helpful when you can’t access an outlet. It has a total output of 220W max across three ports: two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, allowing you to charge multiple devices simultaneously rather than switching back and forth between them and their respective outlets. Also, with a 72.36Wh rating, the TSA-approved Phantom Gray design lets you put it in your bag and take it everywhere.
A power bank that can get you juiced up quickly on the go
One of the unique features of this 3-port portable charger is the ability to deliver up to 220W of total output through two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Specifically, Anker states that one of the USB-C ports can deliver up to 140W with a 5A cable. In addition, they state that using this 140W USB-C port, it is possible to recharge a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro chip to 50% in approximately 28 minutes. If you were to use the second USB-C port to charge a lower-wattage device, such as a handheld console or earbuds, while charging your laptop via the first USB-C port, you could prioritize higher-wattage charging on one port and let the remaining ports handle lower-wattage devices.
Anker states that the 20,100 mAh power bank’s battery is 72.36 Wh, keeping it under the TSA limits for carry-on items. As a result, Anker describes it as “flight-ready” power, and you’ll be able to bring it through airport security and use it to recharge your devices between gates or during long flights when outlets may be limited. In addition, the USB-C input on the power bank supports up to 100W charging, making it easy to recharge quickly. According to Anker, you can recharge the power bank to 50% in about 25 minutes, which is a great benefit if you only have a few minutes to charge your devices before leaving the area.
Unlike some other Prime setups, the base used for drop-in charging isn’t included in the package for the Prime Power Bank. Instead, you’re getting the battery, the 3.3-foot cable, and the soft carrying case. While this approach is certainly more straightforward if you don’t require a complete docking-station setup, it still offers a reliable, high-capacity power bank you can use on its own.
The current pricing reduction offers better value for the power the power bank provides, especially if you’ve got multiple devices to keep powered throughout the week. For the same price point as the original $180 list price, you now get 20,100 mAh of capacity, 220W of total output, fast laptop-level charging, and rapid recharge capability to keep the power bank fully charged. The TSA-compliant design, digital display, and simple three-port configuration make it an ideal solution for meeting your needs if you’re seeking a single charger that can effectively manage almost every device you carry.
