Important Notes
- The USB ports accept input voltages from 100V to 240V, making them suitable for international use with appropriate plug adapters (not included).
- A 5A current E-Marker cable is required to achieve charging speeds of 60W or higher on USB-C ports.
- Apple’s 5.9-foot Thunderbolt cable may not function properly with select Samsung, Dell, and Lenovo models due to compatibility limitations.
- While designed primarily for stationary use, the detachable cord offers some portability but the product is explicitly marked Not for Travel due to its fixed form factor and lack of built-in plug.
- Package includes: Anker Prime Charging Station (A91B2), welcome guide, and 24-month warranty. Additionally, customers receive lifetime access to a $200,000 connected equipment warranty—defined as the product’s operational lifetime.
- If the device becomes hot during extended high-load usage, this is considered normal behavior for multi-port high-wattage chargers. Seven internal protective measures ensure safe operation, and cTUVus certification confirms compliance with safety standards.
- The USB-A port remains active at 5V/0A even when idle, per USB-IF association guidelines; this does not affect functionality or charging capability.
- The metal pin on the adapter connector transmits temperature sensing signals to help regulate performance and maintain safety.
