This Innovative Gadget Solves a Major Gripe with Modern Chargers

We’ve all been there. You go to plug your charger into the wall only to find that the outlet is too loose and the prongs don’t fit. You then have the choice of physically holding the charger upright and in place or going off to find a new wall outlet. It’s not ideal.

Well, Anker’s newest wall adapter aims to solves this exact problem.

Small yet very powerful

The Anker Prime Charger is a 3-in-1 wall adapter capable of delivering 100 watts of power. When all three ports — two USB-C and one USB-A — are being used, it intelligently distributes the 89 watts between them. (So yes, there’s a power drop-off when all three ports are being used.)

When used independently, either of the two USB-C ports can deliver the full 100 watts of power. The USB-A port maxes out at 22.5 watts.

It’s a GaN wall adapter — meaning it’s made of Gallium Nitride instead of silicon, the traditional material used in wall adapters — and thus is very energy- and space-efficient. This allows this relatively small yet powerful charger. It can easily charge a laptop.
