Anker power banks and chargers are designed with smart power delivery (PD) technology, which automatically adjusts the output to match your device's requirements. This ensures safe and efficient charging, whether you're topping up your MacBook or your iPhone.

- For MacBook Pro 16-inch, look for chargers and power banks that support at least 96W.
- Anker's PD technology ensures optimal charging speed and safety.
