Anker has introduced the Prime Power Bank (26K, 300W) to the U.S. market — a high-capacity portable charger designed for users who need laptop-level power on the go. First previewed at IFA 2025, the 26,250mAh (99.8Wh) unit packs multi-device fast charging, rapid two-way recharge, and a handful of smart features aimed at frequent travelers and mobile professionals.
Specs, performance and real-world speeds
At the heart of the Prime Power Bank is a 26,250mAh (99.8Wh) battery — just inside the TSA limit for carry-on batteries. Anker rates the accessory for up to 300W total output across three ports. Either USB-C port supports up to 140W on its own using PD 3.1; when both USB-C ports are used together they deliver a combined 250W. A single USB-A port provides up to 22.5W, dropping to about 20W when all three ports are active.
Those figures translate into notable real-world charging times: Anker claims the Prime can bring a MacBook Pro (M4) from 0 to 50% in roughly 27 minutes, an iPhone 17 Pro Max in about 22 minutes, and a Galaxy S26 Ultra in around 26 minutes. For anyone carrying a laptop, phone and tablet, that mix of high single-port output and sensible multi-device distribution makes this a compelling all-in-one solution.
Recharging the power bank itself is a headline feature. Anker says the Prime is the first power bank to support 250W two-way charging, allowing a compatible wall adapter to refill the internal battery in under 30 minutes — considerably faster than many rivals from Baseus or Belkin. The unit includes a small TFT display to show charging data and battery health in real time, plus Bluetooth connectivity so you can monitor status from the Anker app.
Physically it measures about 6.3 x 1.5 x 2.5 inches and weighs 1.32 pounds — compact enough for travel but not pocket-sized. It’s also designed to work with Anker’s upcoming Prime charging base so you can dock it on a desk for easier recharging and storage.
In the U.S. the Prime Power Bank is listed at $229.99. Early-bird discounts reduce that price: Anker’s store shows an in-page coupon bringing the cost to $184, while Amazon is offering a $45.99 discount. Both promotions are valid through October 6, ahead of a wider rollout to Europe and other regions in mid-October.
Conclusion
For professionals and power users who need fast, reliable charging away from outlets, the Anker Prime Power Bank balances high output with sensible portability. Its near-100Wh capacity keeps it airline-friendly, the dual 140W USB-C ports deliver genuine laptop-level speed, and the 250W two-way refill is a standout convenience. If you frequently travel with a laptop and multiple devices, it’s worth considering—especially while the launch discounts are still active.
