You walk into a conference room, sit down at your round table or desk, open your laptop, and realise: there\u2019s nowhere to plug your power brick. Okay, this is fine. So long as the session only runs for an hour or two at the most. But you know you\u2019ll be there all day. How are you supposed to work without your laptop carking it halfway through the day? Introducing the Anker Prime 20,000mAh 220W Power Bank.<\/p>\n<p>No more power anxiety. Between your phone, laptop, earbuds and whatever else is in your bag, you\u2019re often just one dead battery away from missing something important. With this high-capacity, high-output portable charger, it\u2019s clearly built for people who want more than just a top-up. After I enjoyed the juice of the <a href=\"https:\/\/techau.com.au\/anker-laptop-power-bank\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"344433\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anker Laptop Power Bank<\/a>, Anker decided to drop this new 220W Power Bank in my lap to check out. So here\u2019s what I thought.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design: Chunky, but purpose-built<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no getting around it. The Anker Prime 20,000mAh 220W Power Bank is a chunky unit (weighing in at 472 grams). The weight is absolutely justified. It\u2019s a solid build, confidence-inspiring, and clearly designed to survive being thrown in and out of a backpack all day. The rounded edges are a nice touch, making it surprisingly comfortable to hold despite its size.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-attachment-id=\"346606\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techau.com.au\/anker-prime-20000mah\/20260316_171300\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1441&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1441\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.7&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Galaxy S25 Ultra&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1773681180&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.009991324&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20260316_171300\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?fit=900%2C507&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?fit=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300.jpg?resize=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Side profile of the Anker Prime power bank showing the side button. \" class=\"wp-image-346606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C577&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?resize=900%2C507&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C865&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1153&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?resize=746%2C420&amp;ssl=1 746w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?resize=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?resize=1068%2C601&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?resize=1920%2C1081&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_171300-scaled.jpg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The design is sleek, and the rounded edges feel great.

I really wasn\u2019t sure why you\u2019d want Bluetooth in a power bank\u2026 If you pair the power bank with Anker\u2019s app, you get deeper insights and control, adding a layer of \u201csmart\u201d functionality that most power banks simply don\u2019t offer.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to see exactly how much power is flowing through each port is particularly useful for anyone running multiple devices or troubleshooting charging performance. You can see this on the device itself, but it\u2019s helpful when you\u2019re already on your phone. Personally, I like seeing this displayed on the power bank\u2019s screen. What you can\u2019t do on the power bank device however, is add a custom charging mode, or change the mode. You can also use the app to customise the screen, and change how it displays. You can even add a clock!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"651\" height=\"298\" data-attachment-id=\"346613\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techau.com.au\/anker-prime-20000mah\/image-223\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.png?fit=651%2C298&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"651,298\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.png?fit=651%2C298&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.png?fit=651%2C298&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.png?resize=651%2C298&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-346613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.png?w=651&amp;ssl=1 651w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.png?resize=150%2C69&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.png?resize=300%2C137&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 651px) 100vw, 651px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Use the Anker app to customise charging mode and change screen settings.

The Anker Prime 20,000mAh 220W Power Bank comes with \u201cAI\u201d. Okay, everything is AI these days, so what does this mean for a power bank? PowerIQ 4.0 is Anker\u2019s built-in intelligence. It detects the types of connected devices and optimises charging efficiency for that device. For example, your earbuds don\u2019t need the same power output as your laptop. This saves on power consumption and won\u2019t overload your device.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a little connector on the bottom of the power bank. I wasn\u2019t really sure what this was, until I figured it out. You can pair the Anker Prime 20,000mAh 220W Power Bank with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anker.com\/au\/products\/a1903-anker-prime-150w-charging-base?variant=52019691487535\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anker Prime Charging Base<\/a> to give 100W wireless recharging. So if you\u2019re in a bind, and you have only a few minutes in your hotel room before you run off to your event, whack the power bank on the charger and you\u2019ll have enough to get you through those critical moments.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-attachment-id=\"346607\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techau.com.au\/anker-prime-20000mah\/20260316_1712571\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1441&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1441\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.7&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Galaxy S25 Ultra&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1773681177&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01349422&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20260316_1712571\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?fit=900%2C507&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?fit=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571.jpg?resize=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Inductive charging.\" class=\"wp-image-346607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C577&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?resize=900%2C507&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C865&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1153&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?resize=746%2C420&amp;ssl=1 746w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?resize=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?resize=1068%2C601&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?resize=1920%2C1081&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techau.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260316_1712571-scaled.jpg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bottom of the Anker Prime power pack shows the inductive charging port.

Yes, it\u2019s a little on the heavier side.
