Anker has released the Prime Power Bank with a capacity of 26,250mAh (99.75Wh at 3.8V), which complies with TSA regulations for carry-on luggage.
The device can charge two laptops simultaneously, including high-demand models like the 16-inch MacBook Pro. It also has a USB-A port for charging a smartphone at 20W while the laptops are charging.
The USB-C ports are bi-directional, allowing the power bank to charge at up to 250W when connected to two USB-C PD 3.1 chargers. Anker claims it can reach 80 percent charge in about 35 minutes. Users can monitor power levels via a built-in screen or Anker’s mobile app over Bluetooth.
