Anker Unveils New Innovations in Charging Technology

Today, Anker made headlines by announcing exciting additions to its renowned Prime line of chargers. Among the new offerings is a state-of-the-art desktop charger that allows users to customize the power output across its six USB ports with a handy control dial. This revolutionary feature ensures that connected devices receive precisely the power they need.

Overview of the New Anker Prime Charger

The new Anker Prime Charger, priced at $169.99, efficiently shares 250W of power across its four USB-C ports and two USB-A ports. Notably, the first USB-C port is capable of delivering a maximum of 140W, while the other three USB-C ports can provide up to 100W each. Furthermore, each of the two USB-A ports can deliver up to 22.5W.

Power Distribution Modes

One of the standout features of the new Anker charger is its four distinct power distribution modes. Users can quickly adjust settings through either a built-in control dial or via Anker's intuitive mobile app.

  • AI Power Mode: This automated feature detects the power requirements of all connected devices and adjusts the power distribution accordingly.
  • Port Priority Mode: Users can prioritize two specific ports, ensuring that they receive full power output even when other devices are connected.
  • Dual-Laptop Mode: Ideal for tech-savvy users, this mode prioritizes power delivery to two connected laptops via the first two USB-C ports.
  • Low Current Mode: This mode reduces power output across all ports to prolong the battery life of devices like smartphones.

Display Features

The charger is equipped with a 2.26-inch LCD screen that provides real-time information about the power draw of each USB-C port. This includes the total power consumption of all connected devices. Additionally, the Anker Prime Charger can double as a desktop clock, displaying time and date as a screensaver that activates after a specified period. For those interested in more advanced data, users can monitor power draw over time via Bluetooth using Anker's mobile app.

Anker’s Cost-Effective Charging Solution

In addition to the premium charger, Anker has introduced a slightly more affordable option—the 8-in-1 Anker Prime Charging Station. Priced at about $164.99, this station provides a maximum power output of 240W spread across four USB-C and two USB-A ports. A notable advantage of this model is the inclusion of two AC outlets, preventing users from having to reach under the desk for outlet access.

While the 8-in-1 model lacks various charging modes, it does automatically detect the power needs of connected devices and manages their power distribution. Additionally, users can use Anker's mobile app to monitor power output and schedule charging times. Not to mention, the station’s large wall adapter allows for a slimmer desktop presence compared to Anker's other desktop chargers.

Availability

Both of these impressive chargers are available for purchase starting today through Anker’s online store. With innovative features and smart designs, Anker continues to lead the way in charging technology, offering users flexibility and efficiency in powering their devices.
