Price comparison from Backmarket
We have become accustomed to the brick format of power banks. Anker has rounded the edges with its new power bank, which not only looks more appealing but also feels better in the hand.
The official name of the high-capacity battery pack is the rather plain “Anker Power Bank (25K, 165W, Built-In and Retractable Cables)”. Although it is not part of Anker’s high-end Prime line, the technical data is impressive: the 25000mAh battery capacity is very high but still approved for use in aircraft; 165W maximum output power; and four connections.
The four connections are divided into three USB-C and one USB-A. Of these, one connection is on a retractable cable, one on a fixed cable that becomes a carrying strap, and two classic ports.

The retractable cable pulls from the top of the power bank body and measures a respectable 2.3 feet (0.7m).

The maximum power of each USB-C connection is 100W. This refers to both the power output and the input power with which the power bank can be charged. The best thing ab
