Anker’s new A1695 power bank raises the bar for portable charging, featuring integrated, retractable cables in a reliable package that you can count on when you need some extra juice. And right now, this 25,000mAh portable battery bank is available at a solid 20% discount! This innovative battery pack was released in January and has dipped to $90 a few times, but right now, you can snag it for an all-time low of $87.99 on Walmart and Anker’s own website.

This power bank isn’t just about capacity; it’s about intelligent design. With a total charging power of 165W, it features not one, but two retractable “InstaCord” USB-C cables. One conveniently doubles as a sturdy carrying loop, while the other is seamlessly integrated near the ports on the top of the device. This thoughtful design eliminates the hassle of carrying separate cables, making it an ideal companion for travelers and power users alike.

All-in-all, the A1695 is equipped with three USB-C ports and a USB-A port, offering versatile charging options. It also features a built-in display showing battery temperature, output and input wattage, and battery health in a classic percentage format. It can deliver up to 165W when charging two devices simultaneously, or 130W when charging three or four. With this power bank, you can power multiple devices, including Chromebooks/laptops, tablets, and smartphones, with ease.

And one most notable features I can’t forget to mention is that the built-in cables are actually bidirectional, allowing them to both charge devices and recharge the power bank itself. Again, this eliminates the need for a separate cable, simplifying the charging process!

Anker has a track record of releasing exceptional portable batteries, and the A1695 is shaping up to be 2025’s standout offering. If you’re in the market for a high-capacity battery bank with some fun extra features built in, this deal is certainly worth considering.
