Anker teams up with J‑League side Kawasaki Frontale for two limited‑edition charging accessories – a 22.5 W Nano Power Bank and a 30 W 511 Nano Pro charger – each offered in badge and mascot skins and sold exclusively in Tokyo.
What’s new
Anker has rolled out two special‑edition charging accessories to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Kawasaki Frontale, the Tokyo‑based soccer club. The lineup consists of:
- Anker Nano Power Bank (22.5 W, built‑in USB‑C) – black housing with light‑blue graphics, available in a badge‑print version and a mascot‑print version.
- Anker 511 Charger (Nano Pro, 30 W) – compact brick with the same colour scheme, also sold with either the club badge or the dolphin mascot.
Both products are limited runs: 250 units per Power Bank skin (500 total) and 100 units per Charger skin. They are sold only through the Anker Store inside Bic Camera Lazona Kawasaki, Tokyo, for ¥3,990 (≈ $25) and ¥3,490 (≈ $22) respectively.

The specifications are identical to the standard Anker models; the only differentiators are the cosmetic treatment and the scarcity factor. For users who already own the regular Nano Power Bank, the limited edition offers no performance gain, but the badge‑oriented design may appeal to collectors and Frontale fans.
Who it’s for
- Frontale supporters – The club’s badge and dolphin mascot are prominent on the shell, making the devices a natural fit for fans who want to show allegiance while charging on the go.
- Collectors of niche tech – With only a few hundred units produced, the items will likely appreciate in secondary‑market value, similar to other limited‑run collaborations.
- Everyday travelers – The Nano Power Bank’s 22.5 W USB‑C output can charge a laptop‑class ultrabook at a reasonable rate, while the 30 W 511 charger can power a MacBook Air, iPad Pro, or any USB‑PD device in a compact form factor.
- Budget‑conscious buyers – If the exclusive design isn’t a priority, the regular Nano models are cheaper and equally capable.
Bottom line
Anker’s partnership with Kawasaki Frontale adds a splash of club colour to two already solid charging tools. Performance stays on par with the mainstream Nano line, but the limited‑edition skins and tight distribution give the accessories a collector’s appeal. Fans of the J‑League side will likely snap them up quickly, while the broader market can stick with the standard Anker models for a lower price.
