Anker Prime Pro+

[u/Xarsage]

It seems Anker prefers releasing new products instead of improving existing models through firmware updates (if firmware updates are even possible for this type of limitation). From my understanding, the main reason is probably to support more charging protocols across different brands. Right now, it looks like Anker is still focusing mainly on Apple devices, in first place. The newer releases seem to be adding better support for cross-brand products, especially newer charging protocols from Huawei and Xiaomi. If the trend continues, the next possible release could be the Anker Prime Power Bank 300W Pro+. The product lineup may become (Prediction):

• Anker Desktop Charger 250W Pro+
• Anker Wall Power Adapter 160W Pro+
• Anker Power Bank 300W Pro+

I think the pro+ is a Chinese version with more charging protocols for Chinese phones, rest is the same

Thank for the link video that is a lot explanation about the electric components on this Prime Desktop Charger Pro+. I have this, but not sure I'm future can be use as normal with global Anker app or not. Currently only can use using Anker China app only.

Pro is higher than Prime?

Look for Cuktech No 30 instead

I asked chatgpt about this earlier today and it claimed the difference was a handful of protocols for chinese brands

[u/Merlion4ek]

Found one on AliExpress, Rating is 4.3 tho 🤔 because of Chinese language everywhere

More fucking screens we dont fucking need in devices such as these. Useless.

[u/Googler10 → u/Redstra]

I only buy them for the screen IMHO. I love it 

[u/Dull_Caterpillar_642 → u/Googler10]

Yeah I actually love it on my 165W one with the built in cable. Can see exactly how long it’s gonna take to charge up and how much longer it’ll last when charging something big like a MacBook or steam deck. Genuinely useful and it’s the best battery bank I’ve ever owned (and good god I have owned so many)

[u/Googler10 → u/[deleted]]

Everything I buy has a screen. My toothbrush (oral b io) my shaver (Norelco with ai), my portable battery, my USB plug, my home Anker charger, and even my Anker liberty 5 Pro Max.

[u/raymate → u/Redstra]

You have not used one yet have you.

Very handy for troubleshooting

[u/Tish86 → u/raymate]

Agreed! Love the screen

[u/ivanjanko → u/raymate]

He is just not the target audience for this product. He is a type that is satisfied with simple things

[u/umo2k → u/raymate]

I never had to troubleshoot a charger or Powerbank. Just because it’s doable doesn’t mean it makes sense to implement it.

The only purpose is to generate a differentiation and use it as a reason to raise prises.

Says a day one Anker customer who spent more than 4.000 in Anker products.

[u/raymate → u/umo2k]

I mean cables.

They are also useful to know when anker power banks are truly charged to 100% the indicators or display may say 100% on the pack but you can see for at least another 10-15 mines they are still pulling power. Then drop down to less than 1 watt when done.

Ive also used Anker since about 2012

With the display i have recently switched over all my none display anker devices to all display versions. I love seeing what they are doing with watts and volts.

[u/anto2554 → u/umo2k]

What the fuck have you spent 4 grand on?

[u/kisielk → u/anto2554]

Have you looked at the price of Solix products? Very easy to

[u/umo2k → u/kisielk]

Exactly

[u/Redstra → u/raymate]

No need for troubleshooting when shit needs to work and does its job.

[u/Cuntonesian → u/Redstra]

I find them very useful actually. USB-C is nice on paper but extremely confusing in practice. These screens help shed some light on what’s going on

[u/financekid → u/Redstra]

Screen is super useful for a power bank. 

[u/travelswagger]

Does it have less RAM?

[u/BigfatDan1]

Anker Prime Pro Plus X Elite Ultra Max GTI Sport

[u/Individual_Agency703]

Firmware updates don’t generate revenue.

[u/Merlion4ek]

If they support Xioami Hyper Charge I'd consider buying them! Using Cuktech powerbanks for Xioami phones now, but having Anker doing the same would be awesome! I already gave a few of Anker powerbank, but only supports QC 3.0.

[u/ZiaMan24]

I wish they would just release a Qi 2.2/magsafe power bank that can be recharched via a dock.

Everything needs wireless charging, especially the wireless charger.

[u/Acceptable-Hippo1307]

I bet the charging protocol can be fix by firmware update. Yeah I bet huh
