Anker Nano 5000mAh Power Bank with 22.5W USB-C PD output and a built-in USB-C connector for direct charging without extra cables. Compact enough for a pocket, designed for daily phone top-ups on iPhone 15/16/17 and Samsung S22/23 series, plus light tablets like iPad Air. Ships with USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to Lightning cables to cover most devices. The 22.5W output handles fast-charging modern phones in under 30 min. Recharges itself in roughly 30 minutes via USB-C PD. Pass-through charging supported—charge your phone while topping up the bank. At 5,000mAh, it's roughly one full charge for a flagship phone, or 1.5+ for mid-range devices. Lightweight (~140g) and roughly credit-card sized. Best for travel, commuters, and anyone who wants a one-cable-solves-all solution. Not for laptop charging or multi-day trips without outlet access.
