This Anker Prime Power Bank is designed for laptops, smartphones, and tablets that can quickly drain smaller backup batteries. It can serve as an emergency charger for your phone, which is why most people buy a power bank. However, it addresses a larger issue, which is keeping multiple larger devices powered up when you can’t access an outlet. It features three charging ports, a high-output configuration, and enough capacity for use beyond a simple top-off.
A portable power bank perfect for keeping your devices charged up
The Prime’s three-port configuration gives the charger more versatility than a smaller single-use charger. Its two USB-C ports and one USB-A port provide up to 300W of total output, which is fantastic for larger devices like laptops or tablets that require more power. The first USB-C port can deliver up to 140W with a 5A cable, so you can still fast charge a phone while other devices finish charging.
Anker’s power bank also provides up to 250W of input on both USB-C ports, reducing the time it takes to recharge the battery when it’s low. The capacity is 26,250 mAh or 99.75 Wh, which falls under the TSA-approved limit while providing significantly more capacity than a small charger. With a battery pack this large, it is critical to minimize recharge time; therefore, the Prime avoids the common issue of other large banks: ample capacity but a long recharge time.
The integrated display provides more useful information than a series of generic indicator lights. You can monitor charging details directly on the device, and the App Control feature lets you manually adjust the output level remotely, rather than relying on autopilot mode. So, when you have multiple devices connected at the same time, you will better understand what is happening during charging.
With the Prime, you get a 3.3-foot USB-C to USB-C cable rated for 240W, a travel pouch, and a 24-month warranty with the charger; therefore, you will not need to hunt for basic components to get started. The Anker Prime Power Bank earns its keep by doing more than simply charging a nearly dead phone. When you purchase it, you get a high-output portable charger that supports heavier devices, recharges faster than many large battery packs, and delivers more visible insight into how power is being delivered. At $171, $59 less than the standard price of $230, it’s more affordable than less capable battery banks and will keep your phone, laptop, tablet, and other mobile devices charged on the go, so you don’t have to constantly worry about where the next outlet is going to be.
