I’ve been using Anker power banks for as long as I can and generally I have a smaller one and a larger one depending on my use case, but the new Anker Laptop Power Bank is my new all for-one and it’s also perfect for the Nintendo Switch 2 and all other use cases.
The first trip that it came with me on was ironically for the Nintendo Switch 2 in New York, but it’s since been with me on multiple international trips, countless domestic trips and is thrown in my bag almost anytime I leave the house.
It has many of the Anker features that I’ve loved over recent years including a screen that is super helpful to let you know how much wattage you’re getting as well as how long to charge, but the feature I love most is the fact that it has two built-in USB-C cords which are both capable of 100w charging (or 165w when using both of them).
One of the cords doubles as a wrist strap which cleverly loops back and folds into itself, and the other cord is retractable and snaps back into a magnetic pocket in the top of the power bank, but it extends to 70cm so it’s great for when you’re a little bit further away, or want to leave the power bank in your bank, where the wrist strap one is great for closer charging. It also has another USB-C port which is capable of providing 100w of power and a USB-A power as well.

The power bank itself is 25,000 mAh in size, which makes it plane safe, but enough to re-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro more than twice, a Nintendo Switch 2 more than 5 times over and an iPhone 16 Pro Max more than 5 times over as well.
It also has 100w charging of the power bank itself, but what I love most is the fact that it features -through charging, so extremely often I’ll plug it in at my bedroom (connected to a 100w Anker wall charger), and then use the in-built cords to charge other devices, so that they’re all ready to go on the next day.
The screen itself is not only handy for telling you how quickly it’s charging back up or checking the wattage that each device is getting, but it can also tell you battery health as well as safety information including whether it’s charging at full speed or not depending on things like temperature.
With the Nintendo Switch 2 battery lasting less than the OG Nintendo Switch and much less than the Switch 2 OLED, a power bank is absolutely necessary, and I absolutely love this one as it’s guaranteed to charge all of your tech devices, whether it’s around the house or traveling.
The Anker Laptop Power Bank is available for $169 with 15% off and a free USB-C cable or $199 with free shipping from Amazon
