With a total output of 165 W and three USB-C ports delivering up to 100 W each, it charges a 16-inch MacBook Pro to 50% in about 33 minutes and can power up to four devices at once. It is a genuine pocket charging hub for heavy users.
Its signature feature is its two built-in USB-C cables: one fixed and one retractable, always ready to use, so you never carry separate cables. On top of that, it has three USB-C ports (100 W max each) and a USB-A port to cover every use. A smart display shows the charge level, input and output power, and remaining charge time in real time.
Its 25,000 mAh (90 Wh) recharge a modern smartphone four to five times, or easily cover a full day of mobile work on a laptop. It recharges itself fast: 30% in 20 minutes with a 100 W input, and a full charge in about two hours. ActiveShield 2.0 technology continuously monitors temperature for safe use.
At 595 g, it carries the weight of a true laptop power bank but stays portable in a bag. At 90 Wh, it comes in under the 100 Wh airline cabin limit. For anyone after a powerful, versatile power bank with built-in cables and a display, able to charge a laptop, the Anker A1695 is one of the most accomplished on the market.
Comparison
At around 80 to 130€, the Anker A1695 compares with high-capacity 20,000 to 25,000 mAh power banks able to charge a laptop, through searches such as "Anker A1695 vs Ugreen Nexode 25000" or "best 165W power bank for a laptop". Here is how it stacks up against three alternatives: the Ugreen Nexode 25000 200W, the Anker 737 (24,000 mAh) and the Baseus Blade 2.
| Criterion | Anker A1695 | Ugreen Nexode 25000 | Anker 737 (24K) | Baseus Blade 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 25,000 mAh | 25,000 mAh | 24,000 mAh | 20,000 mAh |
| Total power | 165 W | 200 W | 140 W | ≈ 100 W |
| Built-in cables | Yes (built-in + retractable) | No | No | No |
| Display | Yes, smart | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Observed price | ≈ 81 € | ≈ 130 € | ≈ 120 € | ≈ 70 € |
In short, the Anker A1695 offers the best features-to-price ratio at the high end: it is the only one to combine two built-in cables (fixed and retractable), 165 W and a smart display, at a price clearly below its premium rivals. The Ugreen Nexode pushes power to 200 W but costs more and drops the built-in cables, the Anker 737 caps at 140 W without cables, and the Baseus Blade 2 stays cheaper but with lower capacity and power. For demanding mobile use, especially with a laptop, the A1695 is one of the best choices around.

Our tester's review: Guillaume Hoarau
The Anker A1695 blew us away with its versatility. It is the first power bank you grab without a second thought: it charges the phone, the tablet and above all the laptop, all at once. The 100 W per USB-C port make a real difference, a MacBook gets half its charge back in half an hour, just like on the mains. But the detail we love is the two built-in cables: the retractable one for daily use, the fixed one as a backup, you never hunt for a cable again. The display is very readable and gives all the useful info, watts in, watts out, time remaining, you always know where you stand. Its 25,000 mAh easily last a big day of work away from an outlet, and it recharges itself quickly. Two honest reservations: at nearly 600 g, this is not a battery you slip into a pocket, it is made for a bag, and its price is higher than a regular power bank. But for intensive use, with this power and these built-in cables, it is hard to fault.
