If you’re racking your brain trying to find a last-minute gift or a stocking stuffer for a loved one, bear in mind that you can rarely go wrong with charging accessories. As it happens, many of Anker’s products are on sale on Amazon right now, with discounts of up to 50 percent. Some of the discounts are available via a coupon and for others you’ll need to be a Prime member. First up, the Anker 735 Charger will run you $30.39, which is 40 percent off the usual price of $56.
This is a 65W charger with two USB-C ports and one USB-A slot. When you have multiple devices connected, the charger can direct power to where it’s most needed. It’ll charge several devices at the same time, such as your laptop, Steam Deck and earphones. While Anker says this model is capable of giving a 13-inch 2020 MacBook Pro a 65W charge, other MacBook models have different wattage needs.
That’s where Anker’s MacBook Pro Charger could come in handy. It’s capable of 100W USB-C charging. That’d be overkill for many devices, but not so for a power-hungry MBP. Of course, it’s capable of charging other devices via USB-C. It comes with a five-foot cable. The charger is on sale for $24, which is $14 off the usual price of $38.
In some cases, USB chargers might not cut it. Many devices need the full power of an outlet and if you’re running out of space, a power strip might be what you need. Not only does Anker’s Surge Protector Power Strip have 12 outlets, you can plug in one USB-C and two USB-A cables too. There’s surge protection as well. The power strip, which has a five-foot extension cord, is 17 percent off at $30.
If you’re an iPhone user who hasn’t upgraded to the latest generation yet, there’s no harm in having a spare Lightning cable or two kicking around. As it happens, Anker sells Lightning cables, and one that’s six feet long will currently cost you $10, $2 less than usual. The cable is MFi certified, meaning that it meets Apple’s standards. It has a nylon exterior, which might make it more durable than Apple’s own cables.
Of course, this being Anker, there are power banks on sale too. The Anker Nano Power Bank is 20 percent off the usual price of $30 (i.e. $6 off) when you apply a coupon. This is a small power bank with a built-in USB-C connector, so you can plug it straight into your phone or tablet to charge it up without having to carry a separate cable. There’s a separate USB-C port too. Anker notes that the device won’t fully charge an iPhone 15, but it will top up the battery by around 80 percent.
Last but not least, the Anker 737 Power Bank is for those who need plenty of extra juice with them when they’re on the go. This model has a capacity of 24,000mAh, which Anker says is good for nearly five full charges of an iPhone 13 or 1.3 charges of a 12.9-inch 2021 iPad Pro. A smart display will show you the remaining battery percentage as well as how much wattage the charger is delivering to the connected devices (it has one USB-A port and dual USB-C ports). The 737 Power Bank, which is capable of delivering a 140W charge, is currently $58 off at $92.
