Anker is also presenting new products at CES 2025 in the company’s classic areas of power banks and chargers. A power bank with an extendable cable provides up to 165 watts, while a USB-C charger for up to four devices provides up to 140 watts.

The 165-watt Anker Power Bank distributes its power output across three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. A single USB-C port provides a maximum of 100 watts for a connected device, which means that not only smartphones but also laptops can be charged quickly. The battery capacity of the powerbank is 25,000 mAh. A small screen shows the user information about charging speed and battery level. Anker also promises to have hidden little Easter eggs.

Two cables are permanently integrated into the new external battery. On the one hand, a short 30 centimeter cable for the USB-C 2 port, which can also be used as a wrist strap. On the other hand, for the first time in an Anker power bank, a rollable charging cable with a length of 69 centimeters is added. This cable, permanently used for the USB-C 1 port, completely disappears into the external battery when not in use, making it easier to transport.
It is not yet clear how the output power is distributed to which ports when two, three or four connections are used.
Pricing and availability
The 165-watt Anker Power Bank is now available for 99.99 euros on the Anker website*, on Amazon* and in stores.
140-watt USB-C charger
The Anker 140-watt charger celebrates another first at CES 2025. Four ports – three USB-C and one USB-A – let you charge up to four devices at the same time. In order to keep the size as compact as possible and achieve high performance and charging efficiency, Anker uses the now established gallium nitride (GAN) technology. The European version’s plug can also be folded so that it doesn’t stick out when you’re on the move.

As with the external battery, a display integrated into the charger shows all important information such as the current charging speed per connection.
Pricing and availability
The 140-watt charger is also now available on the Anker website*, on Amazon* and in stores. It costs 89.99 euros.
