Power Packed Performance

Looking for a reliable all-in-one power bank? The Anker Power Bank 25000mAh 165W might just be your best bet. Priced at S$160, it’s a bit steeper than the S$120 Ugreen counterpart, but the added features make it worth the investment.

Integrated Cables for Convenience

What sets the Anker apart is its two built-in cables: one serving as a handy lanyard, and another that extends up to 65cm. This means you can easily keep the power bank in your backpack while charging your phone. The flat lanyard cable is crafted from durable braided material, providing a more reliable experience than some round alternatives, like those offered by Xiaomi.

Impressive Charging Capabilities

The Anker's power output is impressive, delivering a maximum of 165W when charging two devices. However, this drops to 130W when charging three or four devices simultaneously. It features multiple ports for charging: a USB-C and a USB-A port, the latter offering up to 33W. While it lacks wireless charging, the efficiency of wired connections remains unbeatable.

Smart Pass-Through Charging

One of the key features is pass-through charging, allowing you to charge the power bank and your devices simultaneously. Just remember, you’ll need a minimum of a 20W charger to utilize this feature effectively.

Rapid Recharge Time

A full recharge can be completed in about two hours using a 100W charger. Conveniently, you can use any of the USB-C ports for recharging, although only the highest-powered port will do the job.

User-Friendly Display

Both the Anker and its Xiaomi rival feature a built-in display that indicates the current battery levels for connected devices. The display can easily be turned off to save power while still charging actively.

Built to Last and Travel-Friendly

With a durable lanyard cable rated for 20,000 bends and a retractable cable tested for the same number of retractions, this power bank is designed to last. At a power rating of 90Wh, it’s flight safe. After landing, you can quickly recharge your devices without a hitch, although regulations prevent charging mid-air.

Final Verdict: Worth Every Penny

For S$150 (down from the usual S$200), the Anker Power Bank 25000mAh 165W stands out as one of the best power banks available. Although it weighs around 595g, it’s a reliable choice for daily commutes or travel. Grab yours via Shopee, Lazada, or Amazon SG, and never worry about running out of battery again!
