Anker aims to reduce the need to carry separate adapters for multiple devices. Travel Charging Station put the model on sale. Offering up to 150 W total power from six ports, the first two USB-C outputs of the station can reach 100 W when used alone. The important detail here is that the 100 W value is not the power supplied to each computer separately when all ports are full, but the upper limit for single port usage.
According to Anker’s product page, the device has four USB-C and two USB-A outputs. USB-C1 and USB-C2 each support 100 W alone, and the third and fourth USB-C outputs support up to 45 W. The limit of USB-A outputs is 12 W. These are separately stated maximum values; In simultaneous use, the total budget of 150 W is shared between devices.
Anker states that the PowerIQ 4.0 system detects the power needs of connected devices and distributes them automatically. In this way, a MacBook Pro, tablet and phone can be connected to the same station. However, the actual charging speed of your computer also depends on the input power accepted by the model, the cable and the use of other ports. The statement “MacBook Pro charges at full speed” is not a guarantee valid for all models and all connection scenarios.
The dimensions of the station are 149 × 67.5 × 22 mm. Anker gives the weight as 290 grams excluding the power cable. The 90-degree folding plug tip and the flat braided cable are two design choices that will make it easier to carry in the bag. It should not be confused with a power bank: It does not offer stored energy, it needs to be connected to an electrical outlet for it to work.
Cables are not included in the box for Anker’s six-port dock
It is clearly stated on the product page that USB-C and USB-A charging cables must be supplied separately. Therefore, those who want to use the 100 W port need the appropriate cable and a computer that supports the charging standard. There is also no household AC outlet on the station; It only delivers power via USB.
Anker says its ActiveShield 4.0 security system monitors temperature over 10 million times a day and offers seven layers of protection. This is the company’s own technical statement. The product notes also state that the output power may decrease if the overheating protection is activated during long-term full load use. This condition is especially important for users who will keep six devices constantly connected.
The input range is given as 100–240 V, but when traveling, the socket format must be appropriate for the country. The price at the US store is $79.99. Anker writes that orders placed after September 14th will be shipped between September 25th and October 5th. This information belongs to the US store; It would not be correct to directly convert the same amount for Türkiye price and official sales date.
The main advantage of this type of product, which feeds the phone, headset and computer on the same table, is that it collects the number of ports in a single socket. On the other hand, the 150 W total limit and cable requirement should not be ignored in the purchasing decision. of the product A1A05 model number will prevent confusion with other similar-looking Anker chargers.
