ANKER Prime 27650mAh (250W) PD 3.1 Power Bank - Black

Awesome battery bank for the size.
A small brick but very handy to charge a laptop and other devices at the same time.

I use to import and sell li-ion cells and I would struggle to put together one of these at these specs for the price. I could have a far higher spec'd one manufactured but the retail cost would be substantially more.
These are great bang for buck.

The soft felty bag is a bit of a dirt magnet when you carry it outdoors. But that's not the device itself. Awesome battery bank for the size.

Edit (addition): I noticed that the percent left dropped about 1% per week when not used. My problem was that I didn't realise I had to hold the button down for a few seconds to turn it off. Now it does not lose when not used.

I first plugged this in and saw that is was going to take 20 hours to charge, so I plugged it into a macbook charger - and still 20 hours, so I tried a ipad air charger and viola! down to 70 minutes.

I guess Anker want you to buy the charging base that the terminals on the bottom are for.

Now that I have the right charger, it's a great device.

The tasty looking display shows you % charged and how much juice is being drawn in watts.

Definitely not a cheap power bank, but it does have a good capacity and it is very fast.
The speed you can charge the devices would depend on the devices themselves, but to me the most useful thing is to be able to recharge the powerbank quickly.
I tested out charging from my very fast USB charger, the Anker Prime power bank reported 140w charging speed. I charged up a couple of devices and got the power bank down to 38%, then I plugged in the charger and saw the reported 140W charging, I checked on it after 25 minutes and the power bank was at 100% charge already. 38% - 100% in less than 25 minutes sure beats the first powerbank that I bough...view more Definitely not a cheap power bank, but it does have a good capacity and it is very fast.

Would I recommend this power bank? Well, only to people that don't mind paying a lot of money to have a top quality device. If the price doesn't put you off then this is a great power bank that can be recharged super fast.

Charging your laptop and your phone was a game changer to me ! Excellent to use on a business trip. Charging your laptop and your phone was a game changer to me ! Excellent to use on a business trip.

Pros:
-Fast Charging: Charges most of my USB-C devices at the maximum rate.

-Informative Display: Features a nice display that shows the battery percentage and the charging rate of connected devices.
-Companion App: Includes a companion app for monitoring the charging status and adjusting the settings of the power bank.
-Find Your Device: Has a useful 'find your device' feature that sounds an alert tone to help locate the power bank.

Overall, this power bank exceeds my expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable, high-capacity mobile charger.

I have use this for my 2 days holiday and it able to last 2 days without changing. Base on my experience this is a great product if you just want to charge basic things like phone then it will be good enough. But if you want to changing you macbook then you should get the bigger version. Also I noticed that it abit heavy compared to other alternatives.

Easily powers all my devices all day long. Really happy with it. Easily powers all my devices all day long. Really happy with it.

It s a nicer product,which has a wonderful design, I am using it to charge my digital devices everyday, it also can tell you how much watt going through the competiable devices on devise on display and tells how long will the portable power bank be fully charged. However, it looks a little bit bulky in your hands and heavy in your bag. You still feel a comfortable grip while touching or handing it as it has a anti slippery aluminum design on three sides. I highly recommend if someone who are interested in power banks products for your needs charging any digital devices, which are phones, tablets and laptops, etc. It s a nicer product,which has a wonderful design, I am using it to charge my digital devices everyday, it also can tell you how much watt going through the competiable devices on devise on display and tells how long will the portable power bank be fully charged.

After a bit of research and reading reviews, decided on this power bank. As mentioned elsewhere, it's quite hefty but will replace the two 'ordinary' powerbanks I take on holiday. I also purchased the charging base and was a little worried when the powerbank didn't turn on or show any signs of life when I put ut onto the base. It turns out that if the powerbank is completely flat, you need to use the USB C cable to get a few percent of charge into the power bank. Once that was sorted, I was able to get it fully charged fairly quickly on the 100W base. While that was going on, I tried pairing it with bluetooth, only to find out I needed. to...view more After a bit of research and reading reviews, decided on this power bank.

Once that was sorted, I was able to get it fully charged fairly quickly on the 100W base. While that was going on, I tried pairing it with bluetooth, only to find out I needed. to install the app first. From thereon in, it was all go. The app communicates using bluetooth and provides a quick and easy readout of what is happening - the charging rate, how long until it is charged, and when it is used to charge devices, there is a readout of the power and voltage from each of the connected ports.
The first thing I tried was an iPhone 16. No problems. Next was a Macbook Air M4, which was charged much quicker than using a 70W charger.
I have no regrets buying this 27650 mAh Powerbank and 100W Base charger. It's a little pricey but well worth the investment in two high quality products. If you can afford it, I recommend this as a Powerbank for phones and modern laptops. If "She who must be obeyed" allows, I might even buy another one for her.
