What it offers
Who it suits
The Anker A1695 combines two built-in USB-C cables with one separate USB-C port and one USB-A port. One cable extends to roughly 70 cm; the other, about 30 cm, doubles as a carrying loop. It may suit a laptop and phone setup when you want to depend less on loose cables. The display shows battery level and charging information. At a specified 595 g and roughly 157 × 54 × 49 mm, consider its size if you want a pocket accessory rather than a bag accessory.
Power and limitations
The 165 W rating is the combined maximum with two USB-C connections, not 100 W simultaneously from all three. Each USB-C connection supports up to 100 W individually. Anker’s US page lowers the maximum to 130 W with three or four devices: 100 W for the priority output and 30 W shared across the remaining connections. Its power-sharing FAQ also states that maximum values depend on at least a 78% battery level, with lower output below that level. These are manufacturer limits, not our measurements. It does not guarantee full power for a laptop needing more than 100 W through one connection.
Connection and recharging
Your laptop must support USB-C charging and negotiate a compatible power profile; the connector alone is insufficient. Actual power depends on device, cable, battery level and temperature. Anker specifies up to 100 W input and roughly two hours to recharge with a suitable charger, rather than that peak throughout the process. Its product page states that the 100 W peak recharging rate is reached above 25% battery level. A wall charger is not included. The separate USB-C output also requires a cable compatible with the power you want.
Capacity and travel
The 25,000 mAh rating is at cell level and corresponds to 90 Wh, not 25,000 mAh delivered to a phone at any voltage. Conversion losses mean we do not promise a fixed charge count or a week of runtime. The reviewed FAA guidance requires power banks to stay in carry-on baggage, protected from damage and short circuits. Its 90 Wh rating falls below the general US 100 Wh threshold, but airlines and countries may impose stricter conditions. Check your carrier before flying; this is not universal approval to carry or use it aboard.
Documentation describes two built-in cables, not two retractable cables: only one retracts into the housing. Connecting four devices also does not mean each maintains its maximum fast-charging speed. We have not tested usable capacity, temperature, cable durability or charging times on individual devices.
What to check before buying
The observed Amazon US featured offer was new, Black, sold by AnkerDirect and fulfilled by Amazon. Used offers are a separate condition. The advertised package includes the power bank, pouch and documentation; the wall charger shown in the video is excluded. An advertised 18-month warranty is subject to regional and purchase terms that should be checked. Delivery shown was for New York and earlier delivery required Prime; this does not establish delivery or costs in the Dominican Republic. Check current price, seller, contents, shipping and returns before buying.
A1695 versus Anker 737 A1289
Higher total wattage does not automatically mean more power for one laptop. Compare per-connection power and the number of devices you intend to charge; prices and conditions are separate.
