A powerful new Anker Charger (140W) featuring a window display plus “vertical hanging ports” (aka downward-facing ports) to help keep USB-C and USB-A cables secure debuted Monday evening at CES in Las Vegas, the company said.

And along with the 140-watt charger, the accessories giant added a potent new 25,000mAh power bank (165-watt) that features retractable cables and TSA certification for air travel. Both devices are available now, see below.

Anker, which also debuted a versatile new robot vacuum at CES, unveiled a new charger and a new power bank boasting some advanced features. And this follows other recent charger releases, like a new raft of Anker Prime chargers and a tiny new three-way MagGo charger in the second half of 2024.

The new Anker 140W Charger pictured above features four ports and, for the first time, a digital display, Anker said. The 140-watt charger includes three USB-C and one USB-A port. It combines advanced functionality with sleek aesthetics and wall-mounting capabilities, the company added.

“Engineered to keep cables securely in place, it features vertically hanging ports to prevent them from slipping or falling out,” the company noted. “A unique digital display shows real-time total power output and output for each port, making tracking the accurate charging status easy.”

Real-time temperature monitoring ensures device safety, while Anker’s ActiveShield 2.0 performs up to 3 million daily safety checks. The device’s aerospace-grade Gallium Nitride (GaN) helps boost efficiency.

Charger’s key features:

  • 140W-four port charger with USB-C for improved look and wall mounting When plugged into the wall, all cables hang vertically, making it less prone to falling out.
  • First charger with a window display, which showcases real-time power for each port showing when fast charging is activated.
  • Easily check each port’s power output, see the remaining power in real-time and maximize charger’s performance.
  • Real-time temperature display and AI temperature control.
  • Monitor and protect your device with real-time temperature data, while ActiveShield 2.0 technology provides up to 3 million daily checks.
  • Aerospace-grade GaN for higher efficiency.

The Anker 140W charger with digital display is available now for $89.99 at Anker and Amazon for $89.99.

About the size of a soda can, the new Anker Power Bank combines compact design with powerful performance, Anker said. The device offers 25,000mAh capacity and 165W total output to charge multiple devices at the same time. And with built-in and retractable USB-C cables in two lengths (11.8 inches built-in and 27.2 inches retractable), it provides versatile charging options for users on the move, whether walking, sitting or lying down, Anker said.

TSA-approved for travel, the charger includes three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Supporting the latest PD 3.0 technology, it can charge a 13-inch 2024 M3 MacBook Air 1.3 times, an iPhone 16 up to 4.5 times and boost a 16-inch M3 MacBook Pro battery to 50% in just 33 minutes, the company said.

The charger’s smart TFT color display adds a new level of convenience by providing real-time data, including total output power, individual power output for each port, temperature of the power bank and estimated recharging time.

Power bank’s key features:

  • 25,000mAh capacity power bank can charge a 13-inch M2 MacBook Air 1.2 times or an iPhone 14 about 4.5 times.
  • TSA-certified to carry on aircraft.
  • 165-watt multi-device fast charging.
