Anker is back with a collection of discounts on popular charging accessories today, including notable savings on wall chargers, portable batteries, wireless charging mats, and USB-C cables. All of these accessories will be found on Amazon this time around. Shoppers should note that many of the discounts require you to clip an on-page coupon in order to see the savings at the checkout screen.

In addition to these Anker discounts on Amazon, we're also tracking a discount on Apple's MagSafe Charger at Woot, available for $31.99, down from $39.99. This accessory has dropped about $3 cheaper in previous sales, so this is a solid second-best price on the MagSafe Charger. Woot is selling the device in new condition and with a one-year Apple limited warranty.

Are we expecting any upgrades to MagSafe this year? I might jump in on a couple of them. The Anker wireless stand charger I have doesn’t work with my wife’s iPhone 12 and it has always annoyed her.

BEWARE of buying a MagSafe charger via Woot. I did, and got a very convincing fake. It was so good that I didn't even realize it was fake until I started to poke around looking to update the firmware on all my MagSafe pucks.

I'm not sure if mine was a fake or not, but it was not new and stopped working after a few days. The box was missing and it was just loosely wrapped around a the inner cardboard piece. Worked ok for a bit then was dead. Multiple power adapters, computers, and devices all same result...nothing. I'm done with Woot.

Cannot agree more this company has failed big time. Baker was my preferred choose for charger, cables and Powerbank but now I avoid anker and it doesn’t matter how much sale, commercial, deals they have

I've had about 7 or 8 of Anker's "premium" cables fail on me. They appeared to be in perfect condition but stopped charging and two would charge intermittently. I'm a dumbass, though, and keep right on buying them because they're "top-rated." No kidding. My family has at least two dozen of their cables.

On the other hand, I use their cube-like AC adapter every day with multiple devices and it's been going strong for about 18 months. I gave my son one of their fancy new GaN chargers for Christmas and it seems to work well just two months in. We have a USB-C power bank from Anker that's worked well for a little more than two years. I believe my little Apple Watch charger is made by Anker and it's been working well for four years, though it may not charge at all if I don't check how well Apple's magnetic charger is seated in it. Actually, the main USB charger I use for charging overnight is made by Anker and it's been in use for about eight years.

But their cables haven't been the best.
 
Almost every charger carries at least 1 USBA port among the USBC ports, which is kind of waste, I don't have any USBA cable and if I have one I would replace it with type C. Still trying to find a charger with all and only USBC ports
 
I dont buy ANKER anymore personally or for company. They have become a big brand and their prices have risen time and time again. While other brands have raises slightly anker took the cake with the biggest leap.I use to buy the anker USB C TO HDMI which used to be 16 dollars back in the beginning and now that same cable has risen to $28 on amazon. Meanwhile other brands like Uni and UGreen have kept their prices relatively the same.

I recommend ugreen cables and chargers on amazon, they are still good reasonable priced.

It's OEM Apple or Belkin chargers for me ONLY. Cables are first party only.

I never had an OEM Apple cable fail on me, even when it was ripped to shreds at the connecter kink. I've had multiple Anker premium braided cables stop working even though the cable was only used at home to charge and it was virtually mint condition.

Hell, Best Buys Insignia braided cables actually are higher quality and more robust. No cheap metal casings, just durable rubber and plastic at the ends.
