During a long-haul flight or an all-day work session, the last thing anyone needs is a dead laptop battery. Yet, until recently, carrying a power bank capable of both reviving a 140W MacBook Pro and keeping two phones charged simultaneously felt like asking for too much. Anker’s Prime Power Bank delivers exactly that—220W of output with a 20,100mAh battery, all while staying under $130.
The power bank’s design is built around versatility. It includes a dedicated 45W USB-C port for high-wattage laptops, two independent 60W USB-C ports to charge two devices at once, and an 18W USB-A port for older gadgets or accessories. The included cables—a pair of USB-C to USB-C cables and a USB-C to USB-A adapter—eliminate the need for users to hunt for compatible connectors. Weighing in at 20 ounces (567 grams), it’s thicker than some competitors but avoids the bulk that usually comes with high-capacity models.
- 20,100mAh battery capacity
- 220W maximum output
- 45W USB-C port for laptops
- Two 60W USB-C ports for simultaneous charging
- 18W USB-A port for legacy devices
The Prime Power Bank is not just a tool for emergencies—it’s a solution for users who rely on multiple high-power devices. Developers, remote workers, and travelers with essential gadgets will benefit most from its ability to charge a laptop while simultaneously powering two phones or tablets at near-maximum speeds. This eliminates the need to juggle multiple chargers or wait for devices to cycle through battery life.
For casual users, however, the 220W output is overkill. A smaller power bank with half the capacity would likely suffice for daily needs without adding unnecessary weight or cost. The Prime Power Bank’s $125.99 price tag (after discount) makes it a strong contender in its category, but whether it’s worth the investment depends on how often users actually need that level of performance.
Anker has long been at the forefront of portable power innovation, and this model pushes those boundaries further. The 220W output is impressive on paper, but its real value lies in real-world testing—whether it’s charging a laptop during a flight or keeping multiple devices powered through a workday without interruption. For those who need it, the Prime Power Bank redefines what portable chargers can do, proving that performance and portability aren’t mutually exclusive.
