Anker's updated Prime 65W power bank now includes a specialized charging cable and retains its powerful specs while maintaining the same compact form factor.
Anker has released a refreshed version of its popular Prime 65W power bank in China, maintaining the core specifications that made the original model compelling while adding a practical bundled accessory. The most significant update is the inclusion of a dedicated 22cm USB-C charging cable featuring an E-marker chip for intelligent power delivery. This cable comes with an integrated lanyard slot on the power bank itself, providing convenient storage without adding bulk.
The core specifications remain unchanged from the previous model. You still get:
- Dual USB-C ports supporting 65W maximum output
- Support for PD, QC, PPS charging protocols
- 10,000mAh rated capacity (sufficient for multiple smartphone charges)
- Integrated folding AC prongs for direct wall charging
- OLED display showing battery percentage, output wattage, and battery health
The inclusion of the bundled cable addresses a common pain point for power bank users who frequently misplace charging accessories. At 22cm, the cable is optimized for portable use cases where longer cables become cumbersome. The E-marker chip ensures compatibility with high-power devices up to the bank's 65W maximum output.
Priced at CNY 369 (approximately $53) in China, this refresh represents a significant value improvement over the previous $90 model. However, Anker hasn't announced global availability yet. For travelers and mobile professionals needing reliable laptop charging, this model remains compelling - the folding prongs enable simultaneous charging of the power bank while powering devices, and the dual USB-C ports allow charging two devices at full speed.
When compared to competitors offering similar capacity, Anker maintains advantages in portability and display functionality. The Prime series' compact design (smaller than most 10,000mAh power banks) combined with the new cable solution makes this refresh particularly suitable for frequent travelers seeking minimal bulk without sacrificing charging capability. If the global version maintains the China pricing structure, it could disrupt the mid-range power bank market.
