The Anker Prime bundle covers home and travel with two separate chargers in the same box. When connected to the base, the 100W GaN base plugs into the wall and charges up to three devices through its own USB-C and USB-A ports. Away from the base, the battery outputs up to 250W via two USB-C ports and a USB-A port on the top edge, enough to charge a MacBook Pro at wall speed. Recharging the battery itself takes no more effort than setting it back on the base. Magnetic pins on the bottom line up with matching pins on the base, and the recharge starts automatically.

The Anker Prime Power Bank and Charging Base is currently $260 on Amazon, down from its $330 list price for a 21% discount.

An easy way to ensure all your devices are charged at your home base

Anker rated the Prime at 27,650 mAh, which comes to 99.54 watt-hours. Airlines cap lithium-ion batteries in carry-on bags at 100 watt-hours, so the Prime slides in just under that ceiling with no paperwork required. On a long-haul flight, that battery refills a MacBook Air about 1.28 times, an iPhone almost five times, or keeps a mix of phones, tablets, and earbuds topped up for an entire travel day away from a wall outlet. The included magnetic base holds the bank upright on a desk, with the LCD panel facing forward for quick glances at charging status.

Two USB-C ports and a single USB-A port line the top of the power bank. Both USB-C ports work in either direction, so a 140W wall adapter plugged into either port fully charges the 27,650mAh battery from empty in about 37 minutes. The primary USB-C port pushes 140W of output when a device is plugged in, which is the same charging speed a 16-inch MacBook Pro pulls from its wall brick.

The LCD display on the front of the power bank shows the real-time charging speed, the remaining battery percentage, and the estimated time to full charge or full discharge. Anker’s companion app on your iOS or Android phone extends those controls via Bluetooth, adding features such as sound alerts to locate a misplaced power bank, smart charging modes to extend device battery health, and firmware updates when Anker releases new features.

Docking the power bank to the included 100W Charging Base is done via five magnetic pogo pins, which automatically align without any button presses. Once docked, the base charges the power bank while powering up to three other devices via its USB-C and USB-A ports.

Everything in the bundle ships together in a single box: the 27,650mAh power bank, the 100W charging base, a 2-foot USB-C to USB-C cable, and a travel pouch. At $260, down from $330, the discount takes $70 off retail. Priced separately at Anker, the power bank alone runs $180 and the base runs another $70 to $100, so the bundle at this discount ends up close to what the power bank costs by itself.
