Greetings, Arsians! The Dealmaster is back a bit earlier than usual this week to highlight a one-day sale that may be of interest for those in need of new charging gear. Amazon is currently discounting a number of wall chargers, battery packs, and charging cables from popular accessories maker Anker as part of its daily “Gold Box” discounts.
Anker runs these kind of peripheral deals frequently, often through discount codes, but most of what’s on sale here is at or near its lowest price to date. Here’s a quick rundown of the highlights:
There are a few more deals beyond that, but these additional sales aren’t quite as enticing as the ones above. A pair of wireless chargers—one a flat pad, the other a charging stand—is similarly priced near all-time lows, but we found the former to be outclassed by a competing pad from RAVPower that is currently available for the same price and the latter maxes out at a slow 5W of power. Neither come with an AC adapter, either. If you can put up with the generally slower speeds of wireless charging as a whole, we think you can do better by paying up a little bit more.
Likewise, a trio of Anker’s power banks are also on sale: a 10,000mAh pack that’s $10 off at $26, a 15,600mAh pack that’s $12 off at $27.19, and a 20,000mAh pack that’s $18 off at $42. All of these are : they’re well-reviewed, reliable, and include 18-month warranties. If you’re just looking for a good chunk of capacity at a low price, they should do the job. But they all only have USB-A and microUSB ports. With more and more devices launching with support for USB-C fast charging, we’d our next power bank to be a little more futureproof and include a USB-C PD port.
Per usual with Gold Box sales, all of the deals here will last until the end of the day or the item in question sells out. Anker is something of a big name in this market for selling reliable accessories for relatively cheap, so if you want to stock up on chargers, you could do worse than some of the deals above. Either way, the Dealmaster will be back tomorrow with a fuller deals roundup.
