The Anker Prime Power Bank is down to its lowest price ever, with Amazon offering the premium gadget for just $125 (down from $180). This 250W portable charger is powerful enough to charge three large devices at once, making it a great choice for frequent flyers or folks who often find themselves on the road working (or gaming) out of coffee shops and hotels.

The Anker Prime Power Bank can charge three power-hungry device with it two USB-C ports and USB-A port that deliver up to 250W of power total. Anker says you can juice up your MacBook Pro (M2 Pro) to 50% in just 28 minutes. That's an impressive stat--and one that far outperforms the average portable charger. So while you'll find cheaper chargers out there, the Prime is an ideal pick for those who travel with multiple larger devices, such as a laptop, Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, and iPad Pro.
Despite all that firepower, the Anker Prime Power Bank is still quite small, weighing just over a pound and standing just over six inches tall. And along with charging electronics fast, it holds 27,650mAh of juice, enough to charge an iPhone 14 more than four times before needing a recharge of its own.
Toss in a smart app to track your charging stats or to help you locate your Prime Power Bank with audible alerts, and you've got a comprehensive charging station.
Amazon is advertising this as a "Limited Time Deal," though it's unclear when exactly it'll end. That means you'll want to scoop up the portable power bank as soon as you can to ensure you don't miss out on this steep discount. You'll also find a smaller version, the Anker Prime Power Bank 20,000mAH, for $110 (down from $130).
There's even an optional charging base for the Prime (either model) that can quickly refuel the power bank while also doubling as a stand.
While this power bank is great for remote workers, digital nomads, or anyone who travels with heaps of gadgets, the Prime is still more of a niche device. Everyone should have a power bank--they are quite handy--but the average user will get by just fine with a cheaper option. We'd recommend this Baseus 65W power bank with 20,000mAh. On sale for $45 with Amazon's extra 25%-off coupon, this power bank offers fast charging for your smartphone, Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, and laptop--though don't expect to charge your larger devices multiple times over or simultaneously.
