The Anker Prime can be used like any other power bank; it does a great job of charging any standard mobile electronics. However, its primary purpose is to charge devices with higher power requirements, such as laptops, portable gaming systems, and high-end phones. It has two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port. Each USB Type-C port supports up to 100W Power Delivery. In fact, both ports can charge 100W simultaneously. If you want to charge using all three ports at once, the power distribution will be 100W (Type-C), 60W (Type-C), and 40W (Type-A). It is also under the TSA 27,000mAh limit, so it can be taken on a plane.
What sets the Prime apart from most other power banks is its digital LCD display that shows a wealth of useful information in real time, such as remaining battery capacity, input power, and output power from each port. The power bank measures 5″x2″x2″ and weighs 1.2 pounds.
Anker Prime is the perfect Steam Deck / ASUS ROG Ally charger
The Anker Prime is a great charger for portable gaming consoles like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Switch. Both the ROG Ally and Steam Deck suffer from short battery life when gaming on the go. During our Steam Deck review, we found that games like God of War and Spider-Man drained their batteries in under 2 hours. At the end of the day, you’ll never get the most out of your Steam Deck or ROG Ally if you don’t have a decent portable charger. The Steam Deck accepts up to 38W of USB power, the ASUS ROG Ally accepts up to 65W, and the Nintendo Switch up to 18W. This means that the Anker Prime can theoretically charge the Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, and Nintendo Switch at their maximum charging speeds. all at the same time. However, in practice, most power banks limit their thermal efficiency due to excess heat generated when they have to be charged at maximum power for long periods of time.
