At CES 2025, Anker, a brand known for its innovative charging solutions, has unveiled a new 140W wall charger that promises to keep your charging needs firmly in place, quite literally. This latest product from Anker introduces a unique design where the four USB ports are positioned on the bottom of the charger. This strategic placement not only aids in maintaining a stable connection but also enhances the charger’s center of gravity, ensuring it doesn’t fall out of wall sockets even when multiple heavy cables are attached.

The new Anker Charger (140W) is not just about stability; it’s also a visual and functional treat. It features Anker’s first-ever built-in screen on a wall charger, which displays real-time power output for each of its ports. This feature allows users to monitor exactly how much power is being delivered to their devices, offering a level of transparency and control not commonly seen in charging technology.

The charger includes three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, capable of charging up to four devices simultaneously. This is a significant upgrade from Anker’s previous models where the weight of the charger often led to it disconnecting from less secure wall outlets. The new design with ports on the bottom should, in theory, keep the charger more securely anchored. However, critics point out a potential drawback: in low-light situations, plugging in might become slightly more cumbersome due to the ports’ location.

Pricing and availability

Early adopters can grab this innovative charger for $79.99, a $10 discount from its regular price of $89.99. This introductory pricing strategy seems aimed at quickly building a user base for this new technology.

Alongside the wall charger, Anker also introduced the 25K Power Bank, which complements the charger with its own display and a capacity of 25,000mAh. This power bank is compact, roughly the size of a soda can, yet powerful, offering up to 165W across its ports. It includes three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, with the ability to deliver up to 100W to a single USB-C port for fast-charging laptops.

The power bank adds a layer of convenience with its built-in cables – one external 8.6-inch cord that can double as a carrying strap and another 27.2-inch cord that retracts into the device’s body. This feature ensures you’re never without a cable, a thoughtful touch in our increasingly cable-dependent world.
