Packing a laptop, phone, and earbuds usually means carrying three different chargers. Anker’s new Travel Charging Station is designed to cut that down to one. It has a 150W power output and can charge up to six devices at the same time. It is now available to pre-order in the US for $79.99.
The compact size also makes it easier to carry. It measures 5.9 x 2.7 x 0.87 inches and weighs 0.64 lb. That makes it slightly shorter and narrower than the iPhone 17, while its thickness is close to an AirPods Pro case. Anker says it is also lighter than a full 330mL soda can.
The charging station comes with a flat, braided power cable and a 90-degree foldable plug that sits flat when packed. It supports 100-240V input, so you can use it with wall outlets in different countries.
Anker Travel Charging Station Specifications
The charging station has four USB-C ports and two USB-A ports in a body roughly the size of a deck of cards.
The USB-C1 and USB-C2 ports can each deliver up to 100W, which is enough for most USB-C laptops and handheld devices. Anker says this includes full-speed charging for a MacBook Pro. The USB-C3 and USB-C4 ports support up to 45W, while both USB-A ports provide up to 12W.
When multiple devices are connected, Anker’s PowerIQ 4.0 technology automatically divides the available 150W between them based on their power needs. This means you don’t have to manually figure out which device should use each port. Anker used a similar system on its 7-in-1 Nano Charging Station earlier this year, although that model also had a built-in LCD screen.
For safety, the Travel Charging Station uses Anker’s ActiveShield 4.0 system, which monitors the internal temperature more than 10 million times per day. It also has seven layers of protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, overheating, and short circuits.
One thing to keep in mind is that charging cables are not included. You’ll need to bring your own USB-C and USB-A cables to use all six ports.
The station is available in Iron Gray and Radiant White. Anker currently lists a pre-order shipping window of September 25 to October 5.
