Anker introduces its updated lineup of USB-C power adapters as a solution to e-waste a product reveal event on tuesday In New York City, betting on these versatile chargers can happen in one fell swoop as smartphone makers stop shipping adapters in the box. After the release of several new Gallium Nitride (GaN) chargers dubbed GaNPrime Many of them will be re-released as part of its new line, the Anker Prime, with the third generation of its fast charging technology coming out over the past year.

Anker’s new Prime Desktop 240W charger is due for release in July and supports the maximum 140W per device we’ve seen from manufacturers like Hyper and UGreen.

However, if you have two large MacBook Pro laptops for some reason, you can fast-charge them simultaneously on this new desktop charger, assuming you’re using Apple’s MagSafe to USB-C cable And at least one of them is a smaller 14-inch model. It should be capable of 140W charging on the 16-inch MacBook Pro on one port and 96W on the other. For a charger capable of delivering 240W output on a single USB port, we’ll have to wait for a Power Delivery 3.1 charger or a 180W charger coming from the laptop maker’s framework.

There’s also a third USB-C port, along with a USB-A port on the desktop charger, which is available for any other power. And like Satechi’s desktop charger, there’s a stand to keep it vertical on your desk. Anker’s 240W desktop charger is coming in July, and pricing is to be determined.

Mary Woodbury, Anker’s senior PR manager, introduced the charger by saying, “Today, with the USB-C 2.1 standard, we can now safely manufacture chargers capable of up to 240 watts of power,” and described it as a new generation of power tech. Recommended as a pack-in for gaming laptops. But with current laptops typically charging 100W over USB, most gamers will want to have a standard charger to get the most performance possible without draining their battery.

Anker’s first product to support 140W charging for a single device was actually last year’s PowerCore 24K battery bank. And now the company is upping it a bit with the new 250W power bank, adding a 27,650mAh battery instead of the previous 24,000mAh (so named because it can output up to 250W total from all its ports and the previously mentioned desktop charger similar to remove two-laptop fast-charging). The upgraded bank also has pins on the bottom that lets you drop on the optional 100W charging dock, which houses the battery so you can keep it charged habitually.

The dock for the new power bank was marked down to $69.99 and features its own 100W charger with two USB-C ports and a USB-A port for other devices you might want to keep atop your desk.

There’s also a new emergency/camping battery called Prime Reserve. It has a handle so you can carry it like a lantern, and also Is A lantern because a light can shoot out from above. It’s powered by a 60,000mAh LFP battery, which Anker says has enough power to recharge an iPhone 10 times. Along with its dual USB-C and USB-A (each) ports, the Reserve has an XT60 connector to support add-on solar panels. Its Available now for $169.99,

Anker’s also got an updated power station – that Has two pop-out AC ports, This time, the thin power strip attached to the DC charger had a power status screen embedded in an area that only had a weird circle light (and looked like a completely wireless charging pad but wasn’t). It also has two USB-C ports and two USB-A, all producing a total of 140 watts of power (up from 100W). You can expect this and most of the new Anker Prime products to be available in July.
