As you might expect, things have been relatively quiet when it comes to deals since Black Friday, especially when it comes to discounts on charging accessories. Fortunately, Anker’s aptly titled laptop power bank is on sale again at Amazon and Walmart for $87.99 ($47 off), which matches the all-time high price we last saw in late November.
Unless you’ve been living under a proverbial rock for several years, you probably know that Anker makes an ungodly amount of charging accessories. The A1695 “InstaCord” laptop has quickly become a favorite among Edge however, due to the fact that it comes with a retractable USB-C cable and a second that also serves as a handle, both of which are bidirectional and allow direct charging. The 25,000mAh/90Wh power bank also has a USB-A port and an additional USB-C port, allowing you to charge your phone, a MacBook Pro, and up to two other devices simultaneously.
In terms of output distribution, Anker’s 600-gram laptop power bank can deliver up to 165W when two devices are plugged in, or up to 130W when charging three or four gadgets. It’s also carry-on compatible, which means you should have no trouble getting it through TSA when you’re traveling, which isn’t the case if your charger is above the agency’s 100 watt-hour threshold for carry-on devices. It even has a built-in LCD screen, allowing you to quickly view the remaining charge, overall power, battery temperature and other information at a glance.
