The freedom of being able to work from anywhere can become rather limiting when you remember that laptops and phones run on batteries and batteries eventually run out of charge. If you don’t want to build your day around always knowing where the nearest outlet is nor do you want to stop in place anytime your device needs a charge, than you should invest in a quality portable charger. Anker is one of the best and most well-known brands in this space, and right now, Amazon has its Anker laptop power bank selling at a 13% discount. Usually, this portable charger goes for $120, but the deal takes it down to just $105. You’ll end up saving yourself $15 for a limited time.

The Anker laptop power bank can handle more than just charging your laptop. The unit is equipped with three different USB-C ports plus an extra USB-A port. Technically, it’s got two built-in USB-C cables and then a USB-C port and USB-A port.

Dual Built-In Cables for Travel

The first of the two cables actually doubles as a carrying loop. It’s made with a threaded exterior for better durability and grip. The end of the cable clips into place onto an attachment higher up the cable. At full extension, that cable is just shy of measuring one foot long.

The second USB-C cable is built into the top of the power bank. It is retractable, so it can be almost fully hidden when not in use, and then pulled out to exactly how long you need up to 2.3 feet. It’s designed to be used often, tested to withstand up to 20,000 retractions.

Long-Haul Power

The Anker laptop power bank can hold a ton of power and provide it to your devices fast.

At full capacity, the power bank maintains up to 25,000mAh. That’s enough to charge an iPhone 16 four and a half times over.

Each of the three USB-C cables or port can reach a max output speed of 100W—excellent for getting high-capcity devices like a laptop back to full quickly. To put a number on it, a 16-inch MacBook Pro (M3) can reach 50% from zero in 33 minutes. An iPhone 16 can reach that in just 25 minutes. When using all four cables and ports at once, you can expect a total output of 130W Max, with the first USB-C cable maintaining its 100W figure.

The smart display panel can provide real-time information regarding how much power is being delivered across each port, as well as indicate the total remaining battery left in the Anker laptop power bank.

Anker has its laptop power bank available in both black and silver. Both models are currently seeing the same $15 discount, so pick whichever you think looks coolest of the two.
