1. The Retractable "Magic" Cable
The standout feature is the built-in retractable USB-C cable.
- Tangle-Free: Pull it out when you need it, and with a quick tug, it zips back inside. No more losing cables in your bag or having them take up space.
- Secondary Cable Handle: It also features a second fixed cable that doubles as a durable carrying strap, capable of withstanding over 20,000 bends.
2. 165W Extreme Output
This power bank is built for the MacBook Pro era.
- Laptop-Grade Speed: It delivers up to 100W from a single port, enough to charge a 14" MacBook Pro to 50% in roughly 30 minutes.
- Multi-Device Power: When charging multiple devices, it maintains a massive 165W total output, ensuring your iPad and iPhone don't slow down just because your laptop is plugged in.
3. 25,000mAh "Flight-Approved" Capacity
Anker has hit the legal limit for air travel.
- Capacity: At 90Wh (25,000mAh), it sits just under the 100Wh limit set by the FAA and international airlines, making it the largest battery you can legally take in your carry-on.
- Real-World Use: You can expect roughly 1.2 full charges for a MacBook Air or up to 5 full charges for an iPhone 16 Pro.
4. Smart TFT Color Display
Forget the "four blinking lights." The front of the 25K features a crisp color screen that provides:
- Real-time Wattage: See exactly how many watts each device is drawing.
- Battery Health: Monitors temperature and remaining time to full charge/discharge.
- Precision: Tells you exactly what percentage of battery is left, so you’re never caught off guard.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Convenience: Built-in cables mean you are always ready to charge.
- Ultra-Fast: Charges laptops as fast as a wall outlet.
- Airline Safe: Maximum capacity allowed for travel.
- Build Quality: Rugged, premium feel with a crystal-clear display.
Cons:

Final Verdict: The Ultimate Professional Companion
The Anker 165W (25K) is the best power bank for anyone who works on the go. By combining massive capacity with retractable cables and a smart display, Anker has removed every friction point of portable charging. It is powerful, smart, and effectively replaces three different wall chargers.
