If you’re looking for an Anker Power Bank that can handle the power demands of gazing the handheld like the Steam Deck or Rog Ally X, Amazon currently offers outstanding deals. Get the Anker PowerCore 737 24,000MAH 140W Power Bank for just $49.99. Marketplace vendor Woot is owned by Amazon. This beats the lowest price that was posted for around $20 last, but I don’t think it’s going to be low. I have owned this exact power bank for several years and highly recommend it. It’s on multiple flights and road trips, and is still the same as the newest ones.
Anker 737 24,000MAH 140W Power Bank $49.99
The Anker 737 is one of our favorite steam deck chargers. This is a relatively large power bank, measuring 4.6″x2.2″x2″ and weighing 1.4 pounds. This is what you put in a travel bag or backpack instead of a pocket. It is equipped with two USB Type-C ports and one USB Type-A port. Your device is connected (e.g. 70W + 70W or 100W + 40W).
As for gaming handhelds, the steam deck supports up to 38W charging, up to 65W ASUS ROG Ally, Asus Rog Ally X up to 100W, and up to 18W Nintendo Switches. This means that Anker Prime can easily charge all three gaming handhelds (even on the Rog Ally X) at maximum rate. You can also play and charge at the same time.
A 20,000mAh battery corresponds to a capacity of 74whr. An 80% power efficiency rating (about power bank standards) will bring the available charges to approximately 59whr. This means that this power bank will fully charge your steam deck (40whr) or Asus Rog Ally (40whr) from the sky 1.5 times,Asus Rog Ally X (80whr) 0.75 timesand Nintendo Switch (16whr) 3.7 times. Here we can see why I think a capacity of 20,000mAh should be the lowest for more power-hungry game handhelds like steam decks and Asus Rog Ally (and in particular Ally X).
Anker 737 is TSA approved
The TSA states that power banks must have carry-on capabilities below 100Whr (check-in is not permitted under any circumstances). This anchor prime is safe at 74whr. It might be checked just because the Anker 737 is a massive power bank, but there should be no problem clearing it. I have experienced many airport checkpoints, but it was checked once at Tokyo NRT and cleared without any problems.
