Anker Halloween Sale: Chargers and Power Banks on Offer

Anker’s Halloween promotion covers chargers and batteries for several different jobs, from topping up a phone to powering a small fridge. The clearest value is on products with stated sale prices: the Nano Charger 45W is listed at $26, the Laptop Power Bank at $96, and the MagGo Power Bank for Apple Watch at $72. The offer runs through November 1; enter code HALLOWEEN20 at Anker’s site for 20 percent off eligible charging gear.

The recommendations below draw on WIRED testing and cover both compact accessories and a much larger portable power station. Product choice matters more than the discount alone: the right pick depends on whether you need a wall plug, a battery for a laptop, a watch charging point, or power for equipment away from an outlet.

A compact wall charger with a charging display

The Nano Charger 45W is the smallest-scale pick here. Its foldable prongs make it easier to pack, and the 45-watt output suits compatible phones and other USB-C devices that support Power Delivery, a fast-charging standard. The updated model adds a built-in display showing charging status. WIRED’s Android charger guide names this model as its top pick for Android phones using Power Delivery.

The listed price is $26, down from $40, with the promotion code. That makes it a practical choice for a desk, travel bag, or spare outlet when a larger multiport charger would be unnecessary. Its usefulness still depends on the device and cable: the wattage printed on a charger does not guarantee every connected device will draw power at that rate.

A high-capacity battery for laptops and travel

Anker’s Laptop Power Bank is aimed at people who need more than a phone top-up. Its 25,000-mAh capacity can deliver up to 165 watts across two devices. Two built-in cables cut down on what needs to go in a bag: one retracts to 2.3 feet, while a braided one-foot cable doubles as a carry loop. A digital display shows battery information, and pass-through charging lets the bank charge while it is connected to another power source.

At $96 with the code, against a listed $120 price, it offers a substantial battery with cables already attached. The article describes its capacity as below the limit for flights, making it suitable for air travel. Travelers should still check the rules that apply to their route and carrier, since battery limits can affect what can be carried onboard.

One battery for an Apple Watch and other devices

The MagGo Power Bank for Apple Watch combines a 10,000-mAh battery with a built-in USB-C cable, a USB-C port and a pop-up watch charger. That watch charger provides 5 watts and supports Nightstand mode. A display reports remaining power and the current charging rate, giving a quick read on both the bank’s charge and its activity.

At $72 with the code, down from $90, this model makes most sense for someone who regularly carries an Apple Watch alongside a phone or other USB-C device. The watch charger is the distinguishing feature; the built-in cable also means one less accessory to remember.

Qi2 magnetic charging and a foldable travel station

The MagGo Power Bank (10K) uses Qi2 wireless charging and has a 10,000-mAh capacity. Its LED display shows the remaining battery percentage, and WIRED reviewer Simon Hill rates it as his favorite MagSafe power bank among the models he has used. The source lists it at $80 on Anker’s site, with retailer listings at $90; it does not state a discount for this model under the Halloween code.

For a shared bedside or travel setup, the MagGo Wireless Charging Station (Foldable 3-in-1) charges a smartphone, smartwatch and wireless earbuds at once. It folds flat for packing, a useful tradeoff for light travelers. The compact layout can feel crowded when all three devices are charging, so it may suit occasional trips better than a permanent setup with plenty of desk space. The listed sale price is $80, down from $110.

A portable power station for larger loads

The Solix C1000 is a different class of product from a pocket battery. Its capacity is 1,056 watt-hours, and a carry handle makes it easier to move. WIRED reviewer Simon Hill used it to power a small fridge, a TV and a power drill. It can also charge phones at a campsite or during an outage, and accepts input from solar panels or a car socket.

The listed price is $470, reduced from $600. That capacity and the ability to run larger equipment make it relevant when ordinary power banks fall short, though it is much less portable than the products above. Buyers should match the station’s available output to the devices they intend to run; capacity alone does not describe how much power a particular appliance requires.

Seasonal bundles add blind boxes

Anker’s seasonal bundles pair charging gear with Labubu blind boxes. The lavender Twilight Box includes the MagGo Power Bank, two wireless backup batteries and a blind box; the orange Pumpkin Box includes the MagGo Power Bank, the 45-watt Nano wall charger, one wireless backup battery and a blind box. The listed prices are $208 and $200, respectively. The source doesn’t specify that these bundles receive the 20 percent code discount, so check the offer terms before comparing them with buying each product separately.

The bundles make the most sense as gifts for someone who likes the collectible figures and can use the included accessories. For shoppers focused on charging, the individual product prices and feature differences provide a clearer basis for choosing. The promotion ends November 1, so the code and listed prices are the details to verify before checkout.
