AnkerPrime 27,650mAh Power Bank (250W), 3-Port Portable Charger, Smart App, Compatible with iPhone 16/15/14/13 Series, Samsung, Dell, AirPods, and More (Charging Base Not Included)ClimatePartner certified

The build quality feels premium and durable, and it packs a ton of power. It can easily charge laptops even high capacity ones like my 80Wh laptop battery and still have some power left over. It also supports fast charging for phones. The 250W output handles multiple devices easily. Overall, this is one of the best and most reliable power banks I’ve used. its a pretty heavy one obviously but not bad for carrying around in a backpack. The size is also compact for the amount of power this thing can put out.

It’s the ideal time to write a review after a month of using the power bank. First, it’s a chunky piece of equipment; do not expect to slide it into your back pocket. Second, you definitely need a carry case for this unit. Although it comes with a soft pouch, I recommend getting a sturdy case to protect the unit. The companion app is a handy tool to have as it provides additional information about the power bank, including a beeping feature to locate the unit.The unit charges quickly. It charges an iPhone 15 from 10% to 100% within 50 minutes. I’ve had multiple devices simultaneously charging, including tablets, with very good recharge times.The charging process is relatively rapid. I’ve had the power bank drained to 60% and recharged to 100% within 2 hours. Having this unit has been a big bonus while out and about. I was initially sceptical about the unit’s performance in extreme heat, but I can confirm that it was rugged enough, and no adverse effects have been observed so far.

Brilliant bit of kit.I use the power bank when I'm out flying my drones, so i can keep charged out on the go. Since ive been using it its never ran out on me while ive been out, the capacity is great. Both the power bank and dock have excellent build quality and feel like they could take a beating. Anker have also included an app that helps you monitor your charging and also gives a few extra features like power saving modes where the device will charge at a slower rate between low usage times to improve battery life.The dock is a fantastic addition to have on your desk. (where mine lives) its multi function of both a charger for your power bank but also the addition of two USBC ports and a single USB port give it useful functionality besides just doing one or the other.Unfortunately like many other manufacturers they have decided to add that textured feel design along the sides of the power bank. meaning there are many small valleys and peaks where dust and dirt is attracted and then accumulates, if you work or take the device to dirty environments this can become frustrating as its not often the easiest to clean. not sure why manufacturers are obsessed with using this design. its not a big issue but i know it frustrates me so maybe it does others.

As many other reviews have said, this is a heavy device but for that you get a lot of power. This was why I purchased the device. I think the screen is a little superfluous but it does add value. I like the app which allows me to locate the device if lost and also to add device configuration and battery sizes so I can see how many charges I can get from the Anker.It does not come with a plug but not a big deal. I’ve plenty of chargers but be aware.It seems to charge very quickly which was great to see. There is some contention on if this can be taken on a plane. I guess local laws may be a concern, I don’t know, but I’ve had no issue with mine on two flights.For me I’m very happy, and I made use of the ‘like New’ option above. The device was fully sealed in its box still. So very happy to get this for close to £100.
