The charging accessory market continues to evolve as consumers demand more portable and powerful solutions for their growing collection of devices. Anker, a leading manufacturer in the power delivery space, has responded to this demand by expanding its popular Nano charger series with two distinct models that cater to different user needs and scenarios.

Compact 35W Model Features Built-in Retractable Cable
The new Anker Nano Charger 35W represents a thoughtful approach to portable charging convenience. Despite being 10 percent smaller than standard 30W chargers, this rectangular device measures just 47.8 x 61 x 30 mm and weighs 120 grams. The standout feature is its integrated 70cm retractable USB-C cable, which Anker claims can withstand over 20,000 bends and retractions without degradation.
This design eliminates the common frustration of forgotten or tangled charging cables while maintaining portability. The charger includes an additional USB-C port alongside the built-in cable, enabling simultaneous charging of two devices. The unit incorporates PowerIQ 3.0 technology for intelligent power distribution and ActiveShield temperature monitoring for safe operation.

High-Capacity 130W Desktop Solution Targets Power Users
For users with more demanding charging requirements, Anker has introduced a 130W desktop charger that prioritizes versatility over portability. This six-port powerhouse features four USB-C ports and two USB-A ports, making it suitable for charging everything from smartphones to laptops simultaneously.
The desktop charger demonstrates impressive performance capabilities, able to charge two 15-inch MacBook Air laptops to 50 percent capacity in just 30 minutes, or a 14-inch MacBook Pro to the same level in 27 minutes. The power distribution varies across ports, with the primary USB-C port delivering up to 100W, the second providing 65W, and the remaining ports offering between 12W and 20W depending on the connection type.
Strategic Positioning for Holiday Travel Season
The timing of these releases aligns with the approaching US holiday travel season, when consumers typically face increased charging challenges at airports and during extended trips. The 35W model's retractable cable design addresses the common problem of cable management during travel, while the 130W desktop version serves as a comprehensive charging station for tech-heavy households or offices.
Both chargers incorporate Anker's latest safety technologies, including ActiveShield 2.0 monitoring systems that continuously track device temperatures and power delivery. The 35W model is available in grey, white, and green color options, while the 130W version comes in black and white finishes.
Pricing and Market Availability
The Anker Nano Charger 35W is priced at EUR 39.99 and is currently available through Anker's website and Amazon in European markets. The more powerful 130W six-port model carries a price tag of EUR 59.99 and is also available through the same channels. Both products were initially launched in China and are expected to reach North American markets in the coming weeks.
These additions to the Nano lineup demonstrate Anker's commitment to addressing diverse charging scenarios, from ultra-portable travel solutions to high-capacity desktop alternatives. The company continues to leverage GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology to achieve smaller form factors while maintaining high power output capabilities.
