Tech Gifts for Xmas—Fast Charging all Your Tech With Anker Prime
The holiday season is full of tech gifts, and the one thing that’s universal about tech gifts is that they all need power to operate.
When On the Go—Where To Plug In?
This isn’t an issue at home where you can just plug into the wall to power your toys, however when you’re out at the park having fun with your drone or playing with your new RC vehicles and there’s not a convenient power outlet to recharge the batteries, it quickly becomes an issue. This is where being able to recharge your devices while on-the-go becomes important.
Anker Prime Power Bank Series—Fast Charging in a Compact Package
Anker, a well-known provider of tech accessories, has just introduced its Prime power bank series that offer multi-device fast charging for all your tech. These power banks feature advanced charging technologies such as PD 3.1, GaNPrime™, and come with a bluetooth connected smart app that allows users to monitor and control the status of the power bank.
The front panel of the power banks also provide a digital display showing the remaining capacity of the power bank and the output wattage for any of the ports in use. A huge step up from the 4 lights on most power banks.

Three Sizes to Fit Almost Any Need
Anker’s Prime power bank series come in three different capacities and wattages, and all three are supported by Anker’s wireless charging dock that provides up to 100W to recharge these power banks. They can also be recharged through the USB-C ports.
130W Power Bank
Anker’s Prime entry level power bank has a capacity of 12,000 mAh and provides two USB-C ports with a maximum output of 65W per port and 130W total output across the two ports. It can be recharged through one of the USB-C ports at a maximum of 65W bringing the power bank back up to full charge in just 45 minutes.
200W Power Bank
Anker’s middle tier power bank has a capacity of 20,000 mAh and provides two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. The USB-C ports have a maximum output of 100W per port, the USB-A has a maximum output of 65W, and the power bank maxes out at 200W total output across the three ports, however if you’re not using the USB-A port, the two USB-C ports put out 100W each, enabling you to fast-charge two power-hungry devices simultaneously. It can be recharged through one of the USB-C ports at a maximum of 100W.
250W Power Bank
Anker’s top-of-the-line Prime power bank has a capacity of 27,650 mAh and provides two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. The USB-C ports have a maximum output of 140W per port, the USB-A has a maximum output of 65W, and the power bank maxes out at 250W total output across the three ports. If you’re not using the USB-A port, one USB-C port provides 140W while the second USB-C port is capped at 100W. It can be recharged at 170W using 2 USB-C ports in just 37 minutes.
Bottom Line
These Power Banks are a huge improvement in power output and user-friendly feedback on the status of the power bank. In addition to keeping your gadgets charged while on the go, they are invaluable when on business travel to keep laptops and cell phones charged when away from power sources for extended periods of time. Their ability to both charge devices quickly and be re-charged quickly make them the perfect mobile power source for today’s on-the-go lifestyle.
