Anker’s new 300W Prime power bank is the brick that doesn’t apologize for being a brick

Anker has been quietly running the table on premium power banks for two years, and the new 26K 300W Prime is the model that consolidates the lineup. Announced at CES 2026, it sits where the previous 250W Prime did, right under the TSA carry-on limit, but pushes the output ceiling 50W higher and the recharge speed into a different category entirely.

The headline output is 300W simultaneously across three ports: two USB-C and one USB-A. A single USB-C port will run at 140W on its own, which is enough to feed a 16-inch MacBook Pro at full performance. Two-port simultaneous output stays high enough to charge a MacBook and a tablet without throttling either one, Anker’s new PowerIQ 4.0 dynamically reallocates wattage between ports when one device shifts state.

The bank itself recharges at up to 250W via its two USB-C input ports, which Anker quotes at 50% in 13 minutes. That figure matters because the previous Prime’s biggest practical complaint was that taking it from empty back to useful took the better part of an hour. The 13-minute number means you can plug it in while you’re packing and not think about it again.

The smart display on the side reads out per-port wattage, time-to-empty and percentage. The companion Anker app gives you the same on a phone, overkill for some, but invaluable when you finally want to know whether the USB-C cable in your bag is actually doing 60W or 100W.
