For weeks, the Anker 535 (B27310A1) 67W 3-Port USB-C Car Charger has been my constant companion on long drives. This compact powerhouse promises simultaneous fast charging for multiple devices, and I put it to the test across various scenarios, from powering my MacBook Pro to simultaneously charging my iPhone and iPad. This review delves into my real-world experience with this charger, exploring its strengths and weaknesses.

The Anker 535 boasts a trio of charging ports: two USB-C and one USB-A. The standout feature is undoubtedly the 45W USB-C port (USB-C 1), which uses PPS/PD charging technology for rapid power delivery to compatible devices like my MacBook Pro 14″. This port also handles the majority of the charging load, efficiently allocating power to keep everything juiced up.

Its compact size is a major win. The dimensions (2.3 × 1.2 × 1.2 inches) make it incredibly unobtrusive, a small footprint for a three-port 67W charger. The included 3.2ft USB-C to USB-C cable is a nice touch, eliminating the need for an extra cable.

Anker’s ActiveShield 2.0 safety system is always a reassuring presence, continuously monitoring temperature and output to protect devices from overcharging or overheating. This added layer of protection is essential for peace of mind.

The Anker 535 consistently delivered on its promise of fast charging. My MacBook Pro 14″ charged at impressive speeds from the designated 45W port, and simultaneously charging my iPhone 15 and an iPad Air on the other ports was hassle-free. The charging speed across all three devices was remarkably balanced and didn’t slow down noticeably, even during periods of prolonged use.

I also tested the charger with other devices, including my Galaxy S23, and the results remained consistently positive. The ActiveShield 2.0 never kicked in, suggesting effective temperature management. The charger remained cool even after hours of continuous use.

Pros:

• Fast charging speeds across all three ports
• Compact and travel-friendly design
• 45W USB-C port for laptops
• ActiveShield 2.0 temperature protection
• Included USB-C to USB-C cable

Cons:

• No USB-A to USB-C cable included (only USB-C to USB-C)
• Might be slightly pricey compared to some lower-wattage options

The Anker 535 (B27310A1) 67W 3-Port USB-C Car Charger is a top-tier option for anyone needing reliable and fast charging on the go. Its performance is excellent, the compact design is ideal for travel, and the safety features are a welcome addition. While it’s on the pricier side, the superior charging speeds and overall convenience justify the cost. I highly recommend it.
