The Anker Prime is a powerful, high capacity battery pack willing to be called “le chonk,” “el grande” or “captain mAh.”
Anker Prime 20,000mAh Power Bank Review • Built-in display A surprisingly large screen shows the charge level and the power being supplied to each of the ports. • 200W output With 200W maximum output... ...you can fully charge two average laptops at max speed and still have power left over. • 100W charging If you have a 100W power adapter, the Prime only takes around 78 minutes to charge. ✔ Handy screen, with menu system.
✔ Awesome power output.
✔ Fast charging (with a 100W adapter) ❌ Some buggy behaviours at maxed-out charging.
❌ Dodgy level reporting out of the box.
❌ High price for a 20K battery You want serious portable power The Anker Prime is an order of magnitude faster than the average battery pack, capable of doling out and taking in power at pretty stunning rates. You want to fast-charge Chinese phones or are on a budget This battery pack is not cheap and is not immune to the occasional bout of odd behaviour either. And thanks to near-unavoidable compatibility issues, some very fast-charging phones won’t charge at the full rate. The Anker Prime is a powerhouse power bank that can charge not just most laptops up at full speed, but two of them at the same time. That’s quite a skill for a power bank that, while small, isn’t the giant slab often associated with ultra-high capacity units made for PCs. The price is quite high, battery level reporting takes a while to settle in, and you’re likely to encounter some little issues at the highest charging rates.
