The main reason for purchasing this is to charge my M1 MacBook Pro and 2017 12.9 Inch iPad Pro simultaneously. When I originally got the power bank I charged it back up to full capacity. I ran into a few minor issues with the charging of my iPad Pro in terms of speed but it has calmed down as of late. I've run quite a few tests to see what it's capable of.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Massive power, fast charging, and smart display — perfect for travel The Anker 24,000mAh 3-Port Power Bank is a game-changer for keeping multiple devices charged on the go. It handles everything from iPhones and AirPods to MacBooks and Dell laptops with ease, and the 140W output means devices charge extremely fast. ✅ Pros: High capacity (24,000mAh): Can fully charge a smartphone multiple times or power larger devices like laptops. Ultra-fast 140W output: Charges devices quickly and efficiently, even high-demand laptops. Smart digital display: Shows exact battery percentage and output, so you know how much power is left. 3 ports for multiple devices: Charge phones, tablets, and laptops simultaneously. Universal compatibility: Works with iPhone 15/14/13 series, Samsung devices, MacBook, Dell, AirPods, and more. Portable for its size: Despite the massive capacity, still compact enough for travel or work. ❌ Cons: Heavier than standard power banks: Its 24,000mAh size adds some weight — not ideal for pockets. Pricey: Higher cost than smaller chargers, but the power and speed justify it. No built-in wall plug: Requires USB-C cable for charging itself, so plan ahead. 🌟 Final Verdict: The Anker 24,000mAh 3-Port Power Bank is ideal for travelers, professionals, and anyone with multiple devices. Fast, powerful, and reliable, it’s worth the investment for uninterrupted charging anywhere. Read more

Sturdy, like a brick. It's definitely heavy and chonky, be sure to read the dimensions and weight to make sure it will work for your application. Great addition for traveling. Falls within air travel battery restrictions. Can keep me going halfway across the country watching movies, then with an Anker charger, I can charge it up fast during a layover between flights, and it will keep my M1 Macbook Air fully charged up while watching movies and doing office work on the plane, and letting me land with a completely full Macbook battery, while still having plenty of juice for other devices as well. This, plus an Anker 747, a USB C cable capable of charging at the max speed of the 747 (and thus also this battery) plus a USB C lighting cable, I pretty much am set for all my devices. I don't even bother with Magsafe or Apple made chargers anymore. Between the 747, this battery, and a couple cables, I am set for all of my charging needs, both with AC power available and on the go, for every device I own. Pretty easy to do math on your device battery with the Anker battery pack (I tend to subtract 10% usable battery for any efficiency losses) and it's just a powerhouse is a relatively small and lightweight (*relative* to the energy it can store) powerhouse. Anker doing what it does best. Energy delivery and energy storage for portable devices. Love it. The screen is actually pretty useful. Shows real time energy throughput (both in and out) for each port, and the second screen in the menu shows lifetime data, which is unnecessary, but really happy they included it because it's just fun. I love that they would include that lifetime data menu for pure enjoyment purposes. It does serve some functional purposes for sure, but it's really not necessary, and the fact they included it despite that is just great. They knew there would be a good amount of people who would have fun looking at the lifetime statistics. For anyone wondering, it does support passthrough charging. It can't do this with flawless efficiency, although that's somewhat expected. 68w input at 50% SOC, but when trickle charging a Macbook (just keeping it topped up to 100% while the Macbook is in use), the Macbook is pulling 3.0w and the input wattage drops to 40~w. That's fine though. Passthrough is always nice, and offers a lot of utility. If you only had access to a single high power USB-C port, this would still make it viable to use for travel as you could just set it to charge when you go to sleep, and still charge your other devices while charging up the battery. Thankfully with the 747, I have access to basically as much power as I need when AC power is available. Honestly, an Anker 747, this battery, and a set of cables to accommodate everything (USB-C to USB-C capable of high throughput charging, USB-C or A to lightning, and USB-C to Apple Watch, or whatever combination you need) is enough to manage all of your charging and energy storage needs on the go and navigating through life.
