Small power banks that charge your phone are handy, but did you know power banks exist for laptops too? They’re less common but incredibly practical, especially since they can charge your phone and other devices at the same time. Running out of battery during a flight or during a long day away from outlets becomes a non-issue when you have serious charging capacity in your bag. For Prime Big Deal Day, Amazon has dropped the price on the most popular Anker (25,000mAh, 100W) laptop power bank to $89, down from $134. That’s a $45 discount and an all-time low for this Anker model, available exclusively to Prime members.

The Anker power bank boasts an enormous capacity of 25,000mAh which equates to usable real-world powering of your devices. For context, it’s enough to give a full charge to a MacBook Air, enough to supply your iPhone several full charges or keep your tablet going for hours of continuous use. With a 90Wh rating, it also falls within airline requirements for personal protective devices for your carry-ons, so it’s permissible to bring it onboard your flights.
Triple 100W USB-C Ports Upgrade Your Charging Experience
The crown jewel here is the three USB-C ports, each of which is capable of dispensing a whopping 100W of power. That’s important because newer laptops require serious power to charge at a full speed. A MacBook Pro 16-inch, say, requires about 96W for best-in-class charging. With 100W per port, you’ll be able to charge your laptop at full speed, all while powering other devices simultaneously.
The built-in cables rectify one of the greatest nuisances of power banks: forgetting or misplacing charging cables. Anker ships two USB-C cables embedded on the power bank itself. One of them reaches a distance of up to 2.3 feet and gives you a degree of mobility when outlets are centralized or when you want to access your device as it charges. This retractable cable is rated for more than 20,000 times of retraction so it should not readily fail due to wear and tear. The other cable is 0.98 feet long and also serves as a strap for carrying, designed to withstand over 20,000 bends. Such a dual purpose creates durability and portability.
Along with the built-in cabling, there are also other sources of charging available in the form of a USB-A port and a second USB-C port, for a total of four devices being charged simultaneously. This setup is best for traveling families or professionals who carry multiple devices along. You may charge your laptop off one built-in cabling, your cell phone off the other, your wireless headsets off the USB-A port and a smartwatch off the additional USB-C port.
Recharging of the power bank itself is incredibly quick due to a 100W ultra-fast recharging feature. It achieves a capacity of being at a 30% state by being plugged into a charger of 100W within a total of 22 minutes. Recharging takes a total of about 90 minutes so keep it topped off during your morning getting-ready process or lunchtime.
As a Prime member for $89 during this Prime Big Deal Day sale, you’re getting laptop-level powering capability at a budget-friendly cost.
