Anker details new compact fast charger with digital display and smart charging feature

Anker recently teased a new compact 45W fast charger with a digital display, and in the previous teaser post, the company hinted that the power adapter will be able to detect the connected device. With a brand-new teaser video, Anker has detailed the core feature of the charging brick.

As the latest teaser video shows, the 45W Anker charger can be switched between two modes. Among the two, one offers slow charging to the connected device, which promises to lower battery degradation and reduce the heat generated during the charging session.

Regarding the other mode, it's called Smart Fast Charging, and it's basically an adaptive power delivery feature. In this mode, the adapter will factor in the battery percentage of the connected device to automatically switch between 39W, 20W, and 8W charging.

These switches will happen in phases, depending on the current battery percentage of the connected phone or device. The video also shows that users can switch between smart and slow charging modes by double-tapping the top of the charging adapter, and the built-in display will show the current status of both the power adapter and the connected device.

The company further highlights that the smart charging feature supports multiple Apple devices, including the iPhone 17 series, iPad Air, iPad Pro, and iPad mini 6. Anker didn't specify whether the adaptive power delivery works with non-Apple devices.

There's also no word on when this Anker USB-C charger will launch (3.3-feet 100W Baseus type-c cable curr. $6.39 on Amazon), and the company has yet to share the pricing details for the fast charger.
