Anker announced a new 140W wall charger at CES 2025 with a design that positions four USB ports on the underside to improve its center of gravity and help it stay plugged in with cables connected. This is also Anker’s first wall charger with a built-in screen showing the power output of each port.
The Anker Charger (140W) with Display will be available from January 7, 2025 for $89.99. The wall charger debuts alongside the new Anker 25K Power Bank, a 25,000 mAh power bank with a 27.2-inch retractable USB-C cable and a screen offering similar charging information, au priced at $99.99.
Anker’s previous solution to its heavier GaN chargers (which did tend to fall out of sockets) was to introduce a smaller model with thicker, textured pins providing better grip. With four USB ports – three USB-C and one USB-A – the new design could work even better while charging four devices simultaneously. The only downside is that the repositioned ports might make it more difficult to plug in devices in the dark of night.
Two of the charger’s USB-C ports can deliver up to 140W of power, while the third maxes out at 40W and USB-A is limited to 33W. These speeds will be reduced with all four USB ports in use . The built-in display, located where USB ports are traditionally found on Anker chargers, will show how much power each USB port is consuming as well as how much power remains available if all four are not in use.
Anker claims its new 25,000 mAh power bank is about the size of a soda can and can deliver a total of 165W of power across three USB-C ports and a single USB-A port, or up to 100W on a single USB-A port. C port for fast charging laptops. The power bank’s screen shows how much power is consumed by devices connected to each port.
Two of the power bank’s USB-C ports have built-in charging cables: an external 8.6-inch cord that converts into a carrying strap and a 27.2-inch cord that fully retracts, so you were never without one.
