When we walk out the door each, it’s almost guaranteed we’re carrying something on our person that requires a charge. Likely, that’s a phone. But some of us, some days, might be schlepping even more around with us. We’ve got laptops. We’ve got smart watches. Don’t forget earbuds or headphones. And heck, maybe even a Nintendo Switch or a Steam Deck too. If any of these things start to die on us, we want to ensure we’re able to charge them so we can make full use of our devices. That’s where a portable power bank comes in handy. Anker has its Prime power bank on sale at the moment for 25% off. Usually, Amazon sells this for $230, but the $58 discount takes it down to just $172 for a limited time.
This portable power bank from Anker contain a massive 26,250mAh capacity to help keep all of your gadgets up and running throughout the day. That’s enough to bring an M4-powered MacBook Pro nearly back to full from zero battery.

Either of the two USB-C ports can reach a maximum charging speed of up to 140W, while the USB-A will achieve 22.5W when charging by itself or 20W while either or both other ports are being used.

For even more ports, Amazon also has this Anker Prime power bank available bundled with a charging base. This stand can act as a home base at your desk or night stand, and it adds three more ports for your use.

The charging base bundle normally sells for $330, but has come down 25% to just $248 at the moment.
When it comes to recharging the power bank itself, you can rapid fuel it back up if you used both USB-C ports. When the two are utilized together, the Anker Prime power bank can bring itself back up to 50% in just 13 minutes. It’ll hit 80% in just 39 minutes. If you’re using the optional charging base, that’ll get to 50% in 21 minutes.
