Anker's Latest 'Prime' Lineup Includes Wall Chargers, Desktop Chargers, and Power Banks

I just plugged in a USB-A to USB-C adaptor to my old Anker power bank and life couldn't be sweeter. These look nice when I do have to eventually replace my current one.

Once again, no love for us with 6 ipads, 4 iPhones, and 4 watches to charge. I don’t need 140 gigawatts from one port, I need an 8 port charger with 30 watts max per port. Nobody makes a USB-C charger like the good ol’ Anker 10 port USB-A charger.

With 14 devices, it makes a lot more sense to have 2 or 3 chargers anyway, rather than a single one in only one location of your home with 14 cables getting all tangled.

It seems odd that the 12,000 mAh battery pack is advertised at only being able to charge an iPhone 14 Pro up to 2 times. That phone has a 3,200 mAh battery. Is nearly 50% of the battery pack’s capacity really lost in the process? If so, that’s quite disappointing. I know the display must consume a little bit of power but didn’t think it would be that much.

mAh is an almost useless measure as it means nothing without knowing the voltage being used. Sad that companies have become accustomed to using it. But consumers are not wise enough to know they are being duped.
