Updated Anker Prime 65W power bank debuts with bundled fast charging cable

The 65W Anker Prime power bank has seen a slight refresh. Compared to the previous version, not much has changed. As the brand has revealed in China, the most notable change is that the refreshed portable charger now comes with a bundled fast charging cable.

While this isn't an integrated cable found in some of the other power banks, the new power bank has an integrated lanyard slot for the bundled USB-C wire. Anker notes that this cable is 22cm in length and features an E-marker chip. Besides this addition, everything else about the portable charger appears to be the same.

That means the port configuration is still the same, with the refreshed Anker Prime 65W power bank coming with two USB-C ports. They max out at 65W, and with support for PD, QC, PPS, and other major charging standards, the portable charger can recharge a wide range of devices as well, including laptops (6-feet Prime 240W cable curr. $25.99 on Amazon).

Moreover, the refreshed 65W Anker Prime power bank has the same 10,000mAh rated capacity. According to the company, this capacity enables the portable charger to recharge most phones multiple times. The built-in display remains the same as well, and it can show some key info, including the internal battery percentage, power output, and battery health.

Anker further highlights the integrated power outlet prongs of the power bank. This allows users to recharge the unit while keeping the two USB-C ports ready for passthrough charging.

As for the price, in China, the refreshed Anker Prime 65W power bank launched with a tag of CNY 369, around $52.92. It's unclear when this refreshed model will make it to the global market, but it's worth noting that the last-gen version retails for $89.99.
