Tired of your laptop dying mid-flight? Our favorite power bank for charging larger, more power-hungry devices is currently experiencing a bit of a discount. As we call your boarding number, please head over to Amazon to board a $30 discount on the Anker Laptop Power Bank, bringing the price down to a much smoother landing at $105.
The Anker Power Bank carries just as much, if not slightly more, juice than most of our other favorite power banks around the same physical size. At 25,000 mAh, it should have enough power to charge your phone at least three or four times, beating out to the 20,000- to 24,000-mAh capacity we’re used to seeing. It charges up in about two hours, and it can keep charging your devices while it does.
It’s not just the capacity that makes this a great choice for charging bigger devices than your phone. It can deliver a massive 165 watts total, so you won’t be waiting around for your laptop to charge up, you can just get straight back to work. While it can only deliver a max of 100 watts on each USB-C connection, that leaves plenty of headroom for you to charge up to four devices at once.
In addition to the built-in USB-C port, there’s a USB-A port for wider device support and classic cables. It also has two cables ready to go right on the battery, with a retractable 2.3-foot cable bundled up inside, and a short 1-foot USB-C cable with a braided exterior that you can use to carry the battery or loop around a hook on your bag.
Our power bank reviewer Simon Hill noted that it has lovely rounded edges and a useful screen that shows a variety of useful information. In addition to showing the charging rate, both for plugged-in devices and refilling the power bank itself, it also shows the battery’s current temperature and overall health.
If that sounds like the charging solution you’ve been missing, make sure to swing by Amazon to grab the Anker Laptop Power Bank for just $105, or peruse our other favorite portable chargers.
