The Anker Prime 3-Port 160W Charger is a wall charger about the size of an AirPods Pro case, delivering enough combined power to charge a laptop, tablet, and phone off one outlet without derating any of them. A 1.3-inch color display on the front shows the total power output, per-port distribution, and internal temperature in real time.
A powerful charger that’s perfect to have on hand for all your devices
Anker’s own testing puts the Prime at 140 watts of continuous output on a single port for 24 straight hours in a US wall outlet without derating, which is unusually long for a compact GaN charger. A 16-inch MacBook Pro plugged into any of the three USB-C ports charges from empty to 50% in about 25 minutes at that rate. Once the battery reaches around 80%, the charger automatically steps down to protect the laptop’s cells during the trickle phase.
Six charging protocols come baked into the Prime firmware, letting it handshake with just about any modern USB-C device. USB Power Delivery 3.1 is the main one, and covers everything from a MacBook Pro down to a Nintendo Switch. PPS 2.0 negotiates high-wattage fast charging with Samsung Galaxy phones. Qualcomm Quick Charge handles older Android phones. UFCS is a newer Chinese-market standard that shows up on Xiaomi and Honor devices. Anker’s own protocol tops up the company’s Prime power banks at 150 watts.
Prongs on the back of the charger fold into the body for travel, so the two flat pins stay tucked against the case in a bag pocket. A matte rubber coating grips the outlet’s interior once you plug in, preventing the charger from working loose over time in a wall socket that’s seen decades of use. The 3D waistline contour along both sides gives your fingers a grip point for pulling the charger back out of a tight outlet.
USB Power Delivery 3.1 is the main protocol behind the 140W rating, but the Prime also supports PPS 2.0, Qualcomm Quick Charge, Samsung Super Charge Protocol, UFCS, and Anker’s own proprietary Anker Protocol for maximum compatibility with older and newer devices. A 16-inch MacBook Pro charges from empty to 50% in about 25 minutes on a single 140W port. Samsung Galaxy phones, Google Pixels, iPads, Steam Decks, Nintendo Switches, and older laptops all work at whatever their maximum supported wattage happens to be.
Anker’s Prime line consolidates chargers for people who travel with multiple devices, replacing the pile of separate wall bricks that add up in a work bag. At $100, down from $150, the current sale takes $50 off the retail price. Anker’s warranty is 18 months on the Prime line.
