Anker: New GaN chargers, power banks and MagSafe charging stations

Anker is presenting a flood of new products at IFA 2023. In addition to the Anker Nano Power Bank (test) and the Anker 533 Power Bank (test), which ComputerBase has already been able to examine more closely, there are also new nano chargers, MagSafe power banks and MagSafe charging stations.

Wireless charging with Qi2

All MagGo Wireless Powerbanks and MagGo Wireless Charging Stations already support the new Qi2 wireless charging standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), which supports wireless charging with up to 15 watts and offers higher charging efficiency and better heat dissipation. The basis for the standard was Apple’s MagSafe technology.

Anker Nano Charger 30W (A2337)

With the Nano Charger 30W, Anker is launching another particularly small USB-C charger that can charge devices with up to 30 watts. The GaN-Charger is approximately 29 percent smaller than Apple’s 20-watt adapter and again actively monitors temperature and output power to prevent damage. The charger measures 36.3 × 24.6 × 34.2 mm (W×H×D) without the plug, with the plug the depth is 71.56 mm.

In addition to PowerIQ 3.0, the power supply also supports USB Power Delivery Programmable Power Supply (PPS), which is particularly important for smartphones from the Galaxy S20 onwards from Samsung. With PPS, voltages that are not supported by the other USB charging standards – for example, USB Power Delivery uses 5 V, 9 V, 12 V, 15 V and 20 V – such as 13 volts can be accessed.

The power supply supports 100 to 240 volts as an input voltage, so it can not only be used in Germany, but can also be taken with you on trips to the USA without any problems.

The Anker Nano Charger 30W (A2337) is available today for €24.99 in black, white, blue and green.

Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station (15W, 3-in-1 Stand)

Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station (15W, 3-in-1 Pad)

These two charging pads can be folded out so that you can keep an eye on the smartphone while charging and also be able to set up the Apple Watch.

Anker advertises the model as a portable desktop charging pad that you can take with you when you travel. Here, too, the date is “Winter 2023” and no price is known yet.

Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station (15W, 3-in-1 Foldable)
