Anker GanPrime Power Bank Charging Base A1902211 100W Fast Charging Review
Introduction
The Anker GanPrime Power Bank Charging Base A1902211 promises a convenient and fast charging experience, boasting a 100W total output across multiple ports. In this in-depth review, we’ll explore its capabilities, performance, and overall value. I’ve spent several weeks testing this charging base with various devices to provide a comprehensive assessment.
Features
This charging base is marketed as a 4-in-1 fast charging solution, leveraging GaN technology for a compact size despite its high power output. Key features include its wireless charging capability (for compatible power banks), three USB ports (one USB-C and two USB-A), a Pogo Pin connection, and a smart LED indicator to display charging status. The 100W total output is distributed intelligently across the ports, allowing for efficient simultaneous charging of multiple devices. Its compact design is truly impressive, making it less bulky than many other high-wattage chargers.
Performance
In my testing, the Anker GanPrime A1902211 lived up to its claims. The wireless charging function was smooth and reliable with my compatible Anker power bank, consistently achieving fast charging speeds. The wired USB-C port delivered the advertised 100W output when charging my laptop, significantly reducing charging times. Simultaneously charging my phone and tablet via the USB-A ports also proved efficient, with both devices charging quickly and without noticeable interference. The heat generated during operation was minimal, a testament to the quality of its GaN technology. The LED indicator was helpful in quickly assessing the charging status of my power bank.
However, I did notice slightly slower charging speeds when using all ports simultaneously compared to charging individual devices. This is expected given the shared 100W output but is something potential buyers should be aware of. The build quality felt premium; the base is sturdy and well-constructed.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Compact design, fast charging speeds, multiple charging options (wireless and wired), reliable performance, smart LED indicator, premium build quality.
- Cons: Slightly slower charging speeds when using all ports simultaneously, Anker 737 Power Bank incompatibility with Wireless charging, Price Point (relatively higher than some competitors).
Final Verdict
The Anker GanPrime Power Bank Charging Base A1902211 is a high-performing charging solution perfect for users needing a powerful and versatile charging hub. While the price might be a consideration for some, the combination of speed, convenience, and compact size makes it a worthwhile investment for those who frequently charge multiple devices. The slightly reduced charging speed when all ports are in use is a minor drawback that doesn’t significantly impact its overall value. I wholeheartedly recommend this charging base to anyone looking for a premium, fast-charging experience.
