Anker Prime Charger – 200W six-port GaN desktop charger

Anker Prime Charger (200W, 6 Ports, GaN), model A2683, is a mains-powered desktop charger for laptops, smartphones, tablets and other compatible USB devices. Four USB-C ports and two USB-A ports accommodate up to six devices simultaneously. With a maximum total output of 200W, it suits a desk or home charging area where several devices with different power requirements need charging.

Four USB-C ports supporting up to 100W

All four USB-C ports support up to 100W when a single port is used. USB-C output modes are 5V / 3A, 9V / 3A, 10V / 2.25A, 15V / 3A and 20V / 5A. When two USB-C ports are used simultaneously, each can deliver up to 100W, allowing two compatible laptops to charge with an allocation of up to 100W + 100W.

Reaching 100W requires an appropriately rated USB-C cable with an E-Marker chip and a device capable of accepting that power. Actual output depends on maximum input power supported by your device and may change throughout charging. PowerIQ 3.0 and PPS support allow use with devices compatible with these charging technologies.

Two USB-A ports and shared total output

Each USB-A port provides up to 22.5W when used individually. Supported output modes are 5V / 3A, 9V / 2A, 10V / 2.25A and 12V / 1.5A. These ports accommodate devices whose charging cables have a USB-A connector at the charger end.

Anker Prime Charger shares available power across ports when multiple devices are connected. Suitable port combinations provide up to 200W total with two, three or four ports in use, and up to 199W with five or six ports in use. A USB-C port’s 100W rating is not available simultaneously on every port when all six connections are occupied. Charging laptops and other higher-power devices requires consideration of both total output and the combination of ports being used.

ActiveShield 3.0 and MultiProtect

This charger features Anker’s MultiProtect protection system and ActiveShield 3.0 temperature monitoring. ActiveShield 3.0 checks temperature up to six million times a day and adjusts output power according to temperature. Temperature management can therefore affect actual charging power.

Desktop design and mains connection

This GaN charger measures 112 × 76 × 35mm and weighs 563g. Its housing is plastic with a metallic coating. A separate AC power cord lets you position the charger on a desk and connect it to a wall socket without plugging the charger body directly into the socket.

Input is 100–240V AC at 50–60Hz, with a manufacturer-listed input current of 3.2–2.5A. The package includes a charger, an approximately 1.5m AC power cord and a user guide. Choose USB cables compatible with each device’s charging interface and required power. Before use, ensure the power cord is fully inserted into both the charger and wall socket.
