• Anker Prime 27,650mAh USB Power Bank with 250W Charging
• Anker Zolo 10,000mAh USB Power Bank with Built-In USB-C Cable

The Anker Prime is the successor to the Anker 737 that we deemed the best Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally charger. Note only does it carry a hefty 27,650mAh capacity, it also boasts an absolutely massive 250W of USB power delivery to charge even the most power hungry MacBooks, iPhones, and handheld gaming consoles (simultaneously, in most cases). It’s a bit on the heavy side, so if you want something lighter, the Zolo is the perfect alternative. It’s 1/3 the footprint, 1/3 the weight, and has 10,000mAh of battery capacity.

The Anker Prime 27,650mAh Power Bank

The Anker Prime is a hefy power bank, measuring 6.4″x2″x2.2″ and weighing in at 1.5 pounds. This is a heavier duty power bank designed to charge more power hungry devices like laptops, (multiple) portable gaming systems, and (multiple) phones. It has two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port. Each USB Type C port supports up to 140W of Power Delivery, which is the max charging rate of a new 2024 MacBook Pro 16″ laptop. If you want to use both USB Type-C ports simultaneously, one will charge at 140W and the other at 100W. The USB Type-A port can provide up to 65W of charging.

The Anker Prime is an outstanding charger for the Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally portable gaming handhelds. The Steam Deck supports up to 38W, the ASUS ROG Ally up to 65W, and the Nintendo Switch up to 18W of power delivery, That means technically you could charge all three gaming consoles at the same time across all three ports. If you’re traveling with a family with multiple Nintendo Switches or Steam Decks, this option will be a lot more convenient than bringing multiple power banks.

Regarding bringing the Anker Prime on airplanes, this power bank outputs 99.54Wh, which meets the TSA requirements for carry-on baggage. Power banks need to be under 100Wh, which means this is the absolutely highest capacity you can bring on board without needing special clearance.

The Anker Zolo 10,000mAh Power Bank

The Anker Zolo power bank is a much smaller, more easily pocketable alternative for when the Anker Prime is overkill. It measures 4.3″x2.6″x0.8″ and weighs less than 5 ounces. It has a battery capacity of 10,000mAh which is enough to charge your handheld consoles a few times over. It has three ways of charging: a built-in USB Type-C cable, a second USB Type-C port, and a USB Type-A port. The maximum charging rate is 30W. The most unique feature is the built-in USB Type-C cable, which eliminates the need for you to bring your own cable. It also has a digital display that tells you remaining battery capacity.
