Anker debuts three smart chargers, including a 'world's coolest' wireless power bank

The World's Coolest Wireless Power Bank
The headline product is the Anker MagGo Power Bank Pro 2, a 10,000 mAh MagSafe-compatible power bank that comes with a built-in cooling fan. According to Anker, this active cooling system keeps the device's temperature below 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit during charging—a critical feature that allows for faster, safer wireless power delivery. The power bank can charge an iPhone 17 Pro to 50 percent in just 25 minutes, making it one of the fastest magnetic power banks on the market. It comes with a smart digital display showing battery percentage, power output, and heat levels. Users get their choice of three colors: Gray, Starlight Silver, and Polar Blue Night. The MagGo Power Bank Pro 2 launches September 17, 2026, priced at $109.99.
Smart Laptop Charging That Knows Your Device
The Anker Laptop Charger Pro makes a bold claim: it's the first charger capable of recognizing your exact laptop model and adjusting its power delivery accordingly. According to Anker, the charger achieves 100 percent recognition accuracy with Mac computers and about 90 percent accuracy with Windows laptops. This model recognition allows the charger to optimize power delivery for each specific device, ensuring you get the right voltage and current without overcharging or delivering unnecessary power. The Laptop Charger Pro will retail for $59.99, though Anker has not yet announced a definitive release date.
Three Charging Methods in One Station
The third product is the MagStand Charging Station, a multi-device charging hub designed for on-the-go and nightstand use. The station packs three distinct charging methods: a 25W max wireless charging pad, a 60W retractable USB-C cable, and a regular 30W USB-C port for any other cable. The station includes an active cooling system that can keep your phone at a cool 37 degrees Celsius. Anker has also built in charging pace control, allowing you to set the charger to reach 100 percent right when you wake up, extending battery lifespan by avoiding overnight overcharging. A built-in LED screen displays the time, weather, and real-time charging status. Anker expects the MagStand Charging Station to arrive sometime in the second half of 2026, though pricing has not yet been announced.
Why This Matters
All three products reflect a shift in the charging accessory market toward intelligence and temperature management. As wireless charging speeds increase—iPhone 17 models now support 25W MagSafe, matching or beating older wired standards—managing heat becomes critical. Active cooling and device recognition represent tangible steps toward faster, safer charging that actually adapts to your hardware rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Anker's focus on laptop charger intelligence is particularly notable, as most chargers still rely on basic power delivery protocols without device-specific tuning. The 100 percent Mac recognition rate suggests the company has done serious work integrating Apple's charging specifications. All three products will be on display at IFA 2026, which runs through September 8.
