The Anker Prime 250W 6-port Gallium Nitride (GaN) charger has been introduced. It’s now accessible in select regions like the US and the UK, expanding Anker’s Prime product series.
The Anker Prime Charger (250W, 6 Ports, GaNPrime) includes four USB-C ports and two USB-A ports. The primary USB-C port provides a 140W power output. This top port can charge a MacBook Pro 16 up to 50% within 25 minutes and fully charge it in 1.5 hours. The remaining USB-C ports support up to 100W, while the USB-A ports offer up to 22.5W power.
Features & Specifications
The new Anker Prime GaN charger features a 2.26-inch LCD that displays charging status and speed, as well as time and date. A control dial on the charger’s side allows users to tweak charging speeds across four modes: AI Power, Low Current, Port Priority, and Dual-Laptop. AI Power mode intelligently adjusts based on detected power needs. Low Current mode is ideal for overnight charging, Port Priority ensures a 100W output for the USB-C1 port, and Dual-Laptop mode provides 70W power through two USB-C outputs.
