Some of Anker’s best and brightest power banks are on sale through Amazon and directly from the company. These deals include the 20,000mAh Prime Portable Charger, which is down to $90 from its usual price of $130. That’s a 31 percent discount and matches a previous record low.
Anker products are all over our list of the best power banks, and we’ve named the Prime charger as the best ultra-premium product on the market. Unfortunately, ultra-premium also means ultra-expensive, although $90 is a lot better than $130.
We admired the sleek aesthetic, as power banks don’t tend to draw attention. The case is a textured metallic plastic with a nice lacquer finish. It has a built-in screen and rounded corners, all of which work to give this bank a luxurious feel. The screen is useful, showing the remaining charge in the battery and the watts flowing to each device. Charge time and capacity were in line with other 20K batteries we tested.
It’s easy to use, which is made even easier if people head to the satellite base. This base includes magnets to align the pins so users can simply drop the battery and move on to something else. The base offers additional ports, one USB-A and two USB-C, turning the whole package into a pretty decent power hub. However, the base costs $70 and is currently not for sale.
We’ve noticed that the Prime charger can be slow to wake up, which isn’t a big deal. The sleek and glossy finish of the power bank also tends to leave fingerprints behind. There’s a faux-suede case to carry it in, which is a nice touch.
The Anker Nano Battery also sells for $16 with a coupon on the page that is $14 off the list price of the device. This cute little thing boasts a foldable USB-C connector to better integrate with smartphones. It also made our list of the best power banks and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick partial charge for an Android device.
