A hotel desk with one free outlet, a laptop, a phone, earbuds and a tablet that all want power at once: that is the usual travel charging puzzle, and one 140W wall charger with four ports is built for it.
The Anker Charger (140W, 4-Port, PD 3.1) has three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, a touchscreen that shows what each port is doing, and a plug that folds for transport. Anker’s own pages market it for hybrid work and business travel.
What can the Anker 140W charger power at once?
It has three USB-C ports and one USB-A port, and Anker says the full 140W is available through USB-C1 or USB-C2. When all four ports are busy, the total output drops to 134W, according to Anker and to Newsshooter’s CES 2025 report.
- USB-C1 and USB-C2: up to 140W each when used alone
- USB-C3: up to 40W
- USB-A1: up to 33W
- A 5 ft 240W USB-C to USB-C cable comes in the box, according to Anker
Anker adds that charging above 100W needs an E-Marker cable, so check any spare cables you pack.
How is the power shared between ports?
Output is allocated automatically depending on what is plugged in. Anker’s specification table gives examples:
| Devices connected | Output |
|---|---|
| Two laptops on C1 and C2 | 70W + 70W |
| Laptop and phone on C1 and C3 | 100W + 40W |
| Laptop and USB-A device | 100W + 33W |
| Three devices on C1, C2, C3 | 65W + 45W + 30W |
In practice, one laptop and one phone each get a healthy share, while four devices at once get less each.
What does the display show, and how big is the charger?
The built-in smart display shows total power, output for each port, charging status and temperature, according to Anker. The specifications list 2.72 x 2.72 x 1.42 in (69 x 69 x 36 mm) and a weight of 13.93 oz (395 g). Input is 100 to 240V, 50/60Hz, though Anker’s pages do not list plug types by region.
Which safety features does Anker list?
Anker lists over-temperature protection that cuts output during extended high temperatures, and says its ActiveShield 2.0 system monitors temperature while charging and adjusts power when needed. Newsshooter reports an 18-month warranty.
A charger from a known maker that states its protections is a sensible thing to look for when you will leave it running in a hotel room. The Anker pages we read do not list certification marks, so check the box and the unit for them.
Prices
Anker’s US store lists the charger with its USB-C cable at $89.99 USD. Amazon Canada showed it at C$79 at the time of writing, on 2026-11-12. Prices change, and the two figures are in different currencies, so compare in your own market.
Who it suits
Frequent business travellers who carry a laptop, phone and earbuds get one brick instead of three, plus a screen that confirms each device is actually charging.
Families sharing a hotel outlet can run several phones and tablets from one socket, with the caveat that four devices at once draw the total down to 134W.
Anyone flying abroad should note one trade off: the product images show a folding North American style plug, and Anker’s pages do not list regional plug types, so a plug adapter may be needed. The 100 to 240V input range is listed.
Who should skip it: light packers who only charge a phone. At 13.93 oz (395 g) it is heavier and pricier than a basic single port charger.
What is still unknown?
Anker’s pages do not give airline rules, regional plug types or certification marks, and the weight in the marketing copy differs from the specification table. We have used the specification figure.
If this matches your bag, check the current price and the plug type for your destination on Anker’s product page before you pack.
