### Key Features of the Anker Power Bank (25K, 165W)
Gone are the days of traditional brick-shaped power banks. Anker’s innovative design features rounded corners that enhance both aesthetics and handling comfort.
The full title of this high-capacity charging device is “Anker Power Bank (25K, 165W, Integrated and Retractable Cables).” While it’s not categorized under Anker’s premium Prime series, its specifications are commendable: a significant 25000mAh battery capacity that’s still compliant with airline regulations; a maximum output of 165 watts; and an impressive variety of four connections.
The diverse connectivity includes three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Notably, one USB-C connection utilizes a retractable cable while another features a permanent cable that doubles as a carry strap.

The retractable cable extends from the top section of the charger body and offers an adequate length of approximately 2.3 feet (0.7 meters).

Each USB-C port supports up to 100 watts for both output to devices as well as charging input for itself. Notably convenient: you can connect any device without worrying about which port you use—the same power rate applies across all connections! The capacity at the single USB-A port reaches up to 33 watts.
When connecting multiple devices simultaneously, keep in mind that they will need to share the total output power rated at 165 watts—meaning only two devices can utilize that maximum amount together without restrictions. However, if three or four devices connect simultaneously, they must collectively operate within a limit of just under (133) watts maximum bandwidth in real usage scenarios—adequate for most mobile Apple gadgets ranging from drones down to cameras.
As anticipated from such advanced technology options available today—the speed at which it charges impressively meets modern demands too! For instance:
* Charging an iPhone (15) results in roughly (53%) charge completed after merely thirty minutes.
* A comparable boost yields about (36%) added juice into your iPad Pro (11-inch model).
* Need more capability? It provides approximately (51%) additional charge when powering up your MacBook Air M3!
* Even extensive requirements like those posed by accessing robust systems such could see dramatic growth yield reaching nearly full recharge (((92%)) achieved through capability enabling new heights with M2 Pro MacBook Pro models!
Overall assessment confirms what many have already surmised!:
This incredible piece stands out clearly amidst competitors due not just versatility but striking realism finely tuned efficiency—to maneuver evolving technological ecosystems surrounding us daily..
Anker Power Bank Review: Exceptional Portability and Performance

Innovative Display Features
The Anker power bank is equipped with a highly informative display that provides real-time data, including battery capacity, output wattage, and overall health status. While charging devices like the iPhone, it reached a peak output of 21W, while the iPad Pro achieved 25W and the MacBook Air M3 delivered up to an impressive 69W. This display consistently shows power consumption throughout the charging cycle.
Efficient Recharging Capabilities
In terms of charging performance, we tested it with an Anker Prime 200W desktop charger. Interestingly, although it advertises capabilities up to 100W, we recorded a maximum output of only 90W. Nonetheless, this power bank excels in recharging speed—initial estimates suggested a recharge time of about 1 hour and 27 minutes; however, actual performance clocked in at just under an hour and thirty-five minutes—a commendable result for such a device.
Sleek Dimensions and Weight
This compact gadget measures approximately 6.2 x 2.1 x 1.9 inches (15.7 x 5.4 x 4.9cm) while weighing around 21 ounces (595g). Such portability makes it an ideal companion for travelers or anyone needing reliable on-the-go power.
