Originally announced at CES in January, Anker’s highly anticipated US version of the 736 USB charger is now available for $75.99 via Amazon in black/silver.
Using Anker’s GaN II technology, the 100-watt 736 charger is 34 percent smaller than Apple’s 96-watt charger, but offers the flexibility of three USB ports to charge multiple devices when needed.
The 736 includes two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, which intelligently distributes power among the ports based on the number of ports in use. When using either USB-C port alone, it will deliver a full 100 watts of power, fully supporting any Mac laptop except the fast-charging capabilities of the 140-watt charger that comes with the latest 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
The dual port setup allows the maximum number of possible combinations, depending on the ports used. If two USB-C ports are used together, the top one will provide 60 watts, while the bottom one will provide 40 watts. Combining the top USB-C port and USB-A port will provide 80 watts and 18 watts, respectively, while combining the bottom USB-C port and USB-A will provide 60 watts and 22.5 watts split.
If all three ports are used, the top USB-C port will provide 45 watts, the bottom USB-C port will provide 30 watts, and the USB-A port will provide 18 watts.
The 736 joins a similar Anker 735 charger launched earlier this month, which also includes two USB-C ports and a USB-A port, but only delivers up to 65 watts of power.
