Anker’s 25,000mAh power bank with two built-in, retractable USB-C cables might be as essential for you as it is for me. It offers fast charging speeds, serving up to 100W through either of its USB-C cables (one of which doubles as a handle when it’s not in use), or a combined 165W if you have them both charging gadgets simultaneously. In time for Prime Day, this model costs $94.99 ($25 off) at Amazon and Anker. This is the lowest price it’s sold at in months.

Anker’s latest power bank sports three USB-C ports, plus one USB-A port. It tops out at 165W when charging two devices simultaneously, or 130W when charging three or four.

I’ve tested this battery pack with phones, tablets, handheld game consoles, and various laptops, and they all charged quickly. Its maximum charging speed excludes certain high-powered laptops from refilling at their highest speeds, but I was pleased that many devices I own charge just as quickly through Anker’s battery as they do with a speedy wall charger.

In addition to its built-in USB-C cables, the power bank has one USB-C port and one USB-A port, so you can charge up to four devices at once (mind you, this drops the total combined charging speed to 130W). Its convenient LCD screen shows its current capacity along with how much power is being drawn by devices connected to it.
