Anker has just unveiled its fastest power bank to date, the Prime Power Bank (26k, 300W), alongside a refreshed Prime lineup of charging accessories. This announcement comes hot on the heels of EcoFlow’s recent 99Wh power bank release, signaling a competitive push in the high-performance portable power market. The new Anker power bank supports a remarkable 250W input and up to 300W output, making it a strong contender for users needing to charge multiple devices at once.
The Prime Power Bank features an airline-compliant capacity of 26,250mAh (99.75Wh at 3.8V). It includes two bidirectional USB-C ports rated at 140W each, along with a 22.5W USB-A port. This configuration allows it to power two demanding laptops and a smartphone simultaneously. One notable omission is the “find device” capability present in earlier Prime models.
When it comes to recharging, the unit can accept up to 250W input using two 140W USB-C PD 3.1 chargers, reportedly reaching an 80% charge in just 35 minutes. Alternatively, it can be charged at 150W via pogo-pin connectors when placed on Anker’s optional Prime Charging Base. This base, sold separately, also supports charging three other devices through its 140W USB-C, 100W USB-C, and 22.5W USB-A ports, though total output is limited to 150W.
A built-in display provides real-time status updates for each port, which can also be monitored remotely through the Anker app. The power bank measures 159.9 x 38 x 62.7mm and is slated for release on September 25th, though pricing remains unannounced.
Also joining the Prime series is a feature-packed 14-in-1 Docking Station priced at $299.99. It offers a comprehensive array of ports including USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet, audio, and SD/TF card slots. The USB-C ports support fast charging and 10Gbps data transfer. The dock facilitates a triple-monitor setup (8K/4K/4K) for both macOS and Windows laptops and includes a display showing power draw, data status, and temperature. A dedicated PC app allows for port management and monitoring. Availability is expected on September 5th.
The new Prime Charger boasts a design 43 percent smaller than Apple’s 140W charger. It includes three USB-C ports, each supporting 140W, though total simultaneous output is capped at 210W. The plug folds flat for portability, and a display shows detailed power metrics, also accessible via Bluetooth through the companion app. Priced at $149, it launches on September 25th.
Rounding out the collection is the 3-in-1 Prime Wireless Charging Station, which uses active cooling to maintain surface temperatures below 36°C. This technology aims to maximize charging efficiency while preserving battery health. It supports simultaneous charging for Qi2 25W phones, Apple Watch (5W), and AirPods (5W). While the cooling system does produce some noise, Anker claims operational volume stays around 29dB, with a near-silent sleep mode. Pricing and release date are set for September 25th.
