Anker has introduced its latest Zolo Power Bank (25K, 165W, Dual Built-in USB-C Cables) within China. This product has been teased several times this year on Reddit and is anticipated to be available in additional international markets soon.
Design and Features
The Zolo Power Bank comes equipped with a retractable 70 cm (~27.6 inches) USB-C cable situated at the top, along with a secondary 30 cm (~11.8 inches) USB-C cable that serves as a lanyard. In addition to these, there's another USB-C port, and all three USB-C outputs can deliver up to 100W of power. If you need to charge a fourth device, there's a USB-A port capable of up to 33W output. The total output is limited to 165W; when all ports are in use, the power is shared as 120W, 20W, and 10W across the USB-C connections, with the USB-A providing 10W. You can charge two devices using USB-C, with outputs of 100W and 65W. The power bank features a 25,000mAh battery that can charge an iPhone 16 Pro four times or a MacBook Air 1.3 times, recharging itself at a speed of 100W in just two hours. Additionally, it has a built-in display that reaches up to 720 nits brightness, showing useful info like battery percentage, power output, temperature, and health of the battery.
Specifications and Pricing
This device has dimensions of 158 x 54 x 49 mm (~6.2 x 2.1 x 1.9 inches) and weighs about 595g (~1.3 lbs). The Anker Zolo Power Bank (25K, 165W, Dual Built-in USB-C Cables) is currently listed on JD.com in China for CNY 499 (~$69). It is still unclear when it will be available in other areas, such as the US; however, rumors indicate it might be launched in that region within the next year, potentially priced around $100. Meanwhile, you might want to look into a comparable option that doesn't have dual built-in cables: the Anker 737 Power Bank (PowerCore 24K), which offers a 140W output and is priced at $106.48 on Amazon.
Conclusion
Anker’s Zolo Power Bank presents a promising addition to the portable charging market, combining high output with convenient design. As it prepares for a broader release, consumers will be watching closely to see how it performs against its competitors.
