Benefits & Use Cases
This charger excels in real-world scenarios where speed, space, and smart control matter. For remote workers, it replaces multiple chargers by powering a 16″ MacBook Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, and 11″ iPad Pro simultaneously—charging all three from 20% to 80% as fast as using three separate original chargers (140W + 35W + 35W). Travelers benefit from its AirPods-sized footprint, eliminating the need to carry bulky adapters. The smart display provides instant feedback on cable compatibility and power flow, while Bluetooth app integration allows customization for specific workflows, such as prioritizing a primary laptop or enabling dual-laptop charging. It’s also ideal for shared workspaces, where multiple devices require fast, reliable power without outlet clutter.
Important Notes
- At 77°F, single-port charging operates without derating in 220–240V regions and maintains output for at least one hour in 100–130V areas.
- Up to 150W recharging for the Anker Prime Power Bank (26K, 300W) is supported in AI Mode 2.0 when using the included power bank cable or a compatible alternative (not included with this charger).
- Performance data based on internal lab testing; actual results may vary depending on usage conditions.
- Power status per port is displayed only after devices are connected. Custom modes require app configuration via Bluetooth.
- Devices with Bluetooth and display active may consume slightly more standby power and feel warm—this is normal. Users can manually disable Bluetooth and the display to reduce consumption.
- Dynamic power distribution is exclusive to AI Mode 2.0 and supported by all listed compatible devices.
- Cable detection: Display shows “3A Cable” (up to 60W), “5A Cable” (up to 100W), and “EPR Cable” (up to 240W).
- Device recognition requires AI Mode; detailed info is accessible only through the app.
- Package includes: Anker Prime Charger, welcome guide, and 24-month warranty. Friendly customer service support included.
