Anker launches new upgraded power bank with integrated cable

The Anker Zolo Power Bank (20K, 45W) has been released in the US. This new model is similar in appearance to the older Zolo power bank (20K, 30W), though it offers a higher power output.

As its name suggests, Anker’s new Zolo Power Bank offers 45W via the integrated USB-C cable or the USB-C port. This should allow you to charge an iPhone 17 Pro to 50% in 20 minutes. The braided cable is 6.0 inches (~15.2 cm) long and has been proven to withstand over 10,000 bends in testing. However, ultimately, the cable would be hard to replace once it breaks. The power bank also has a USB-A output, and ActiveShield 2.0 checks the accessory’s temperature 3,000,000 times daily to protect against overheating.

The 20,000 mAh battery is said to charge an iPhone 17 Pro 3.3 times, or a Samsung S25 Ultra 3.0 times. The power bank recharges via a 30W USB-C input, with a 50% charge taking around 90 minutes. Plus, the remaining battery level is indicated on the simple digital display. Currently only available in black, but with blue, white and pink versions expected to launch in the future, the product measures 4.7 x 2.9 x 1.2 inches (~12.0 x 7.3 x 3.1 cm) and weighs 12.5 oz (~353 g).

You can now buy the Anker Zolo Power Bank (20K, 45W) at Amazon in the US for $39.99. That makes it $4 more expensive than the older 20K/30W version. It remains to be seen when this accessory could be released in other markets like Europe.
