Anker’s tiny-but-fast 45W GaN charger with a smart display is on sale for $25.99 at Amazon, a good 35% off its original $40 and matching its previous all-time low price. Even when you look at its typical street price of $30, that’s still a good deal for a speedy accessory charger.
Just plug it into a wall outlet or power strip and you get fast USB-C charging. At up to 45W, it can take an iPhone 17 Pro from empty to 50% in about 20 minutes, which you can rejuice your phone right before heading out the door. Built with GaN tech, it’s not only faster than older USB adapters but also more power efficient, puts out less heat, and comes in a more compact size. It also has a dual-foldable prong design so you can maneuver it into any space with a tight fit.
It’s a pretty basic charger and only has a single USB-C port, but it does have a smart display that shows real-time charging status. One caveat is that the smart display only works with iPhones and iPads from the last couple of years.
You can tap the button to switch between charging modes: Default Mode is good for daytime charging while Care Mode is slower but at a lower temperature, so it’s good for overnight charging. The charger also has a Power Adjustment feature that tunes its output to your device’s battery level, delivering speed when needed and easing off as you fill up.
At $25.99, this compact Anker charger is a barebones, no-nonsense accessory that’s great for phones, tablets, wireless earbuds, and more. Get it as your main charger or as a backup.
