Anker Prime A2345 250W Charging Station, 6 Ports, LCD Display

Four USB-C ports and two USB-A ports give the Anker Prime Charging Station room to power a desk full of devices from one desktop charger. Its 250W maximum total output is designed for charging several essentials at once.

The first USB-C port delivers up to 140W, while the LCD shows charging information in real time. That combination makes it easier to see how your connected devices are charging without relying only on status lights.

A smart control dial lets you adjust power output, adding hands-on control when you want to manage charging at your desk. The 2.26-inch display and six-port layout suit a home office or gaming setup where a laptop, phone, tablet, and other USB devices share a charging station.

How to use it

Place the station on your desktop and connect your devices to the available USB-C and USB-A ports. For a laptop that can use high-wattage USB-C charging, the first USB-C port supplies up to 140W, the other USB-C ports support up to 100W each. USB-A ports deliver up to 22.5W each. The station’s total output reaches up to 250W when three or more ports are in use, so it can serve several devices in the same charging session.

Use the LCD to check charging status and speed, then turn the control dial to adjust the output. For app-based IoT features, register with the Anker app, the charger supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. For Samsung S23 and S24 phones, a 5A cable is needed for Super Fast Charging. Charging speed also depends on the device and its charging protocol.

Where it shines

This desktop format is useful when a laptop and personal devices need power in the same place. For example, you can connect a USB-C laptop, phone, and tablet at a home-office desk, then use the display to check charging activity while keeping cables grouped around one station. The 140W-capable first USB-C port is the standout choice for compatible high-power devices, while the remaining ports make room for everyday accessories.

Compared with a basic single-device wall charger, this station emphasizes shared desktop charging and visible output control. Buyers who want a compact charger primarily for travel may prefer a travel-focused format: Anker describes this model as designed for desktop use and not recommended for travel.

What to know

The station has a 250W maximum total output, four USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and a 2.26-inch LCD. Its desktop dimensions are 4.18 × 1.58 × 3.64 inches, and it weighs 640 g. Some Surface and Dell laptop models may not charge at full speed because of their proprietary charging protocols. Anker lists a 24-month warranty.

Buyer feedback often highlights charging multiple devices, fast charging, and the usefulness of the readable display. Opinions on value are mixed, so the clearest reason to choose this model is its combination of high total output, six ports, and on-device charging information.

Should you buy it?

It makes sense if you want one desktop station to handle a compatible laptop alongside phones, tablets, and other USB devices, with a screen and dial for checking and adjusting charging. Its strongest fit is a home office or gaming desk where the 140W USB-C port and six-port layout can simplify how several devices are powered in one spot.
