Anker Laptop Power Bank, 25,000mAh Portable Charger with Triple 100W USB-C Ports for Multi-Device Charging, Built-In and Retractable Cables, For iPhone 16/15 Series, Samsung, and MoreClimatePartner certified

As an FYI I have just moved over from a UGREEN Nexode Power Bank 20000mAh 130w (Amazon £55.99) after only having for 3 months. Absolutely nothing wrong with this bank, but what I learnt from that was that I really LOVE these power bank brick sizes and the screen info they can provide (watts/port status etc) and the multi device charging they provide. So I felt the need for even greater capacity/storage and the upgrade bug bit me.If one does the mAh maths the Anker is exactly the same value/mAh 20,000 v 25,000, cost v cost+. So no brainer really to upgrade for the sweet extra features.This is Anker’s latest power bank providing huge capacity and 2 neat built in cables.For 99% of users this is ideal as no money is wasted on the charging dock functionality of the PRIME series.So to begin there is no point me reiterating what has already been said in prev user reviews but instead I will focus on things maybe not mentioned/obvious.In no particular order my observations_- Black (dark grey) version when on sale £69.99 UK_April 2025. Why was the silver not reduced also from its retail of £89.99 ? Shame but oh well- Battery % status is only in 2 digits (eg: 80% charged) , whilst charging status is 4 digit % (eg: 80.24% charging) This is rather clever as the lower digits will always move up visually whilst charging (with a decent power charger at least) This gives a positive sense that it is working and loading up. Nice work.- Despite what anyone thinks 25,000 mAh will not give 25,000 in use. It doesn’t work that way due to inefficiencies of any/all power banks. So expect 13,500-17,000 mAh useable capacity.- The screen brightness and pixel clarity is much better than the UGREEN variation. It is still very visible in full sun. It was much dimmer so not a chance with the UGREEN unit. The screen brightness or display time cannot be altered in anyway (unlike in the Anker PRIME series)- Cycling through the menu gives you ‘Battery temp’ / ‘Port usage / ‘battery health’ / ‘cycle counts’. All rather informative and again gives a feeling that you know what’s going on and condition of your bank. The UGREEN did not have this extra info. Nice work Anker.- The only rubber protection is on the small base rather than say some feet on its back like the UGREEN. This means unless you stand it up tall to use or lay down on something soft it will scratch over time. Hmm not so clever maybe.- Pass through charging (so you can charge bank and a device) will ONLY work if the power IN (from charger) is greater than the power OUT (to device/s).- Max charging capacity is 100W (obvs need a capable charger)- To access trickle charge mode (for very low power devices) you need to rapid press the power x2. A Blue dot will display top RHS to the charge %. To exit do the same. I could not find this info in the downloaded manual- There is insufficient slack to use the external USB-C cable lanyard any more than around all your fingers. No way will it go around your wrist unless you are a child.- Anker clearly states the 90Wh capacity (25,000 mAh) on the rear case. NOTE: 100Wh is the max allowed on planes (never in checked luggage tho). It also has a QR code adjacent the figure, but unfortunately my phone will not recognise it so I don’t know where it leads. A statement on their website I hope. Great was to prove to any over-zealous security personnel at airport.- I was initially not a fan at first of built in cables just seeing them as a potential point of failure for the future. But I have to say they are very neatly undertaken. I hope they stand the test of use/time. The spring loaded one is where I strongly suspect it would fail first, most likely in the out position.- 18 month guarantee incl not the 2 year of the UGREEN. Hmmm so watch out for those attached cables guys especially the spring loaded one. Time will tell if I am just a Wendy-worries :-)For now I am a really happy bunny with this purchase.Can’t think of anything else hope this helps someone.

These are lovely Power Banks. The matching charger for the silver one is sadly not available as I'm guessing Anker calculated the manufacturing costs would not justify it. Personally I think the silver is preferable and I would prefer Anker started manufacturing all their products in white. All this said, the move to integrated USN leads is so welcome. I know there are worried that USB leads fail - and this could leave you with an expensive brick... but there has to be some trust here with manufacturers that they they have invested enough in these leads for it not to happen. Failures in my experience come in the USB C connector as much as the lead. GAN technology has made the potential of all these chargers to deliver high watts in a small form factor transform. This technology will power my ROG Duo without a second thought, although my own use is for business travel where I am away from home and all its charging infrastructure. The LCD on this is better and more visible that Anker's (slightly older) and still premium Anker Prime power banks (with their own base, and the 27,500 variant with its own app). The overall tech offer is less, but the attractiveness, utility and cost benefits/ROI is significantly higher here. Some touches are adorable - use the retractable USB cable with abandon and the little face on the display makes you know(!). Finally, service. I believe that service should always put customers first. I have never had to call on Anker Customer Service - despite owning so many of its products across its various related brands. In this case, however I did have a problem. All that I feel comfortable saying is that Anker did not handle it quite as well as I hoped initially, despite Amazon having a special arrangements with Anker in which they ask you to speak with them direct. However, In the end, Anker did come through and resolve it, and on that basis, just, do deserve their reputation for Customer Service and being there when you need them. The bottom line is that Anker do make reliable products - and in some cases best-in-class. I am a particular fan of their USB C Prime dock - there is not a single supplier on the market that offers an equivalent solution. Power Banks are an altogether more competitive market. I would like to see more white products; Anker standard greys are awfully dull! And I would like to see the UK being given matching products, as in the case with this power bank. The lack of a silver charger. is annoying. All in all, these points aside, this is a lovely, useful, very well made and beautifully designed power bank that comes highly recommended.

Really impressive piece of kit. Sure, its heavy, which is to be expected..The capacity is fantastic, the retractable cable feature works well, and the handle doubling up as a handy spare USB-C is simply clever.I've used this to substantially charge 2x Macbook Pros whilst in use.Another really cool thing is being able to see the charge distribution between devices, you don't think you need to visually see watt output and % but you totally do! This also means that bad quality charging cables can be identified.Device weighs around 0.6Kgs.Paid £69.99 June 2025 and highly recommend this device.

The bottom line with this is that it's simply the best power bank you will get in the £70 bracket. It's excellent. Holds charge super long even while powering a few small devices. The longevity of a single charge is excellent. The built in USB-C cords are perfect and really nicely designed so to not be intrusive.And the screen is great. displays all the crucial data including charge and how many cycles it's worked through. Awesome.

Excellent power bank. I always buy Anker products as their build quality is always very good. This power bank is a beast. 4 outputs, with one of them being the input too. You can actually pass through charge too, so the bank can be used as a usb hub. The 2ft retractable usb lead is a game changer, plus you have another smaller lead that also acts like a hanging point.Nice UI, letting you know charging levels, battery temperature and quality of the battery.This is a fairly heavy item, so is best used as a home device, unless you really need the power on the go. It's certainly not a pocket item.
