Anker Prime Charger 250W 6-Port GaNPrime (A2345) review: what the specs say
250W with almost no loss across six ports — the technical benchmark. At $149.99, Anker's 2024 model sits at the premium end of the category — the charging Stations we compare run from $39.99 to $249.99. It scores 8.3/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Output Power at 9.8/10 — total wattage and single-port maximum. The weakest is Cable Management at 3.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: no AC outlets and no surge protection; and no cables included, only a C7 AC cord. Every specification on this page comes from Anker's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
