Also included is a practical, robust carrying case that ensures safe and comfortable transportation and prevents scratches or damage during transport. In addition to the power bank and accessories, an easy-to-understand instruction manual is included, which guides you step-by-step through initial commissioning and important functions. This means that the power bank is ready for use immediately after unpacking and any accessories that may be required separately, such as replacement cables, do not need to be purchased immediately.

Anker Prime Powerbank (26K, 300W) test: Design and workmanship

Visually and haptically, the Anker Prime Powerbank leaves a very high-quality impression and is reminiscent of the tower design of previous models in the series. The casing is made of a robust and elegant-looking metal with a matt finish, which not only makes a classy visual impression, but is also very resistant to scratches and knocks.

With compact dimensions of 159.9 mm in length, 62.7 mm in width and 38 mm in height, it is remarkably portable, especially considering its high capacity and performance. The weight of approximately 600 grams is within the limits of mobility and allows the power bank to be carried comfortably in a bag or rucksack without weighing it down unnecessarily.

A special feature of the design is the large, easy-to-read color display on the front, which shows the battery charge level, the output power of the various ports, the temperature and other system-relevant data in real time. This display facilitates both monitoring and control and makes the power bank transparent in use.

The workmanship is very robust and of high quality in all details, which is reflected in its suitability for everyday use and durability. The overall impression is of a product that combines purist elegance with technical precision and focuses on performance and user comfort.

Features

The features of the Anker Prime Powerbank are remarkably diverse and state of the art. The capacity of 26,250 mAh corresponds to an output of 99.75 Wh and is therefore just under the limit set for air travel in hand luggage. This also makes the powerbank attractive for frequent flyers, which proves to be a practical advantage.

In terms of connections, the device offers two USB-C ports, each of which can deliver up to 140 watts, as well as a USB-A port with up to 22.5 watts of output power. When using all ports simultaneously, the USB-A port still delivers 20 watts, which is still sufficient to charge smartphones and smaller devices efficiently.

The USB-C ports make it possible, for example, to quickly supply MacBook Pro or other high-end laptops with power. The power bank supports ultra-fast recharging via both USB-C inputs with a total output of up to 250 watts, which brings it to around 50% of its capacity in just 15 minutes.

Another innovative feature is the ability to charge the power bank wirelessly using an optional charging pad that is compatible with the product series. So if you are already using the manufacturer’s Prime series, you can also use your charging pad here.

The integrated color display provides all important performance data at a glance, which can also be read out and monitored in the associated Anker app via Bluetooth. The app also allows firmware updates directly on the power bank (OTA updates), which increases the service life and security of the device.

Other clever functions include a timer function for efficient use, comprehensive temperature monitoring and a pass-through charging mode, which allows the power bank to operate itself while charging and supply connected devices at the same time.

Practical test of the Anker Prime Powerbank

In the test, the Anker Prime Powerbank impresses with its outstanding performance. It is easily possible to charge two power-hungry laptops at the same time, with both USB-C ports actually delivering up to 140 watts of stable power. The charging times are remarkably short: a MacBook Pro can be charged to 50 percent battery in around 25 to 30 minutes, which is a significant milestone considering the mobile power supply. Smartphones, tablets and other devices can also be charged without restrictions, which demonstrates the versatility of the power bank in everyday life.

The real-time data display on the screen makes it possible to keep an eye on the charging status and utilization of the power bank during use. This is particularly useful during longer sessions to avoid overloading or heat build-up. Convenient control and monitoring is possible in conjunction with the app, which securely installs firmware updates and keeps the system up to date at all times.

The workmanship is robust, even with frequent use, and the carrying bag ensures safe transportation. The weight is pleasant and the compact dimensions are of course ideal, so that the power bank also fits into your luggage when traveling to save space.
