The Anker Nano 100W Charging Station is a slim, 7-in-1 power strip that combines traditional AC outlets with high-speed USB-C charging. Measuring less than 0.7 inches thick, this unit is designed to lay flat on a desk or fit easily into a laptop sleeve for travel. It features three AC outlets, two USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports, making it a versatile hub for a home office or a hotel room.
The build quality is centered on safety and space efficiency. The materials are rated for flame retardancy, and the internal circuitry includes temperature monitoring that active millions of times per day. The 45-degree angled flat plug is particularly helpful for using wall outlets located behind furniture, as it prevents the cord from being pinched against the wall.
Daily Usage Tips
- High-Draw Charging: For the fastest results with a laptop, use a single USB-C port to access the full 100W capacity.
- Surface Placement: To help manage heat during high-speed charging, place the unit on a hard, flat surface rather than on top of papers or fabric.
- Cable Care: The 5-foot extension cord is permanently attached to ensure a consistent power connection, so it should be coiled loosely to maintain its condition.
Because the unit is very lightweight, heavy AC cables plugged into the top may occasionally cause it to shift on the desk. This can be managed by positioning the unit near the back of the workspace. While the USB-C ports offer high speed, the legacy USB-A ports share a smaller power pool and are best used for smaller accessories like headphones or smartwatches.
