Anker has released a new $149.99 portable PowerCore 24K GaN charger with a large 24,000mAh battery that can be quickly charged at 140W but can also provide power at the same pace (via 9to5Toys). That’s enough power to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 50% in 40 minutes if you use the MagSafe to USB-C connector.
The PowerCore incorporates the new Power Delivery 3.1 standard, which allows it to provide more than the previous limit of 100W from a single USB-C connection. Anker’s new battery bank can output 140W of power from any of its two USB-C connectors, and it also has one USB-A port capable of charging at 18W.
