Our take
The A1383 is a practical shortlist candidate when you want a high-capacity bank with a USB-C cable already attached. Anker documents up to 65W for one USB-C output, 87W total, 20,000mAh, and a roughly 431g weight. The convenience comes with real bulk.
Laptop and phone charging with fewer loose cables.
A light carry under 250g, a setup that needs 140W from one USB-C port, or anyone who needs a detachable cable that can be replaced independently.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- A built-in USB-C cable is ready for a compatible device.
- A USB-C port, built-in USB-C cable, and USB-A port cover mixed accessories.
- The stated 20,000mAh capacity supports longer trips than a small pocket bank.
What to weigh up
- Anker lists the weight at about 430.91g, before considering your other gear.
- One USB-C output tops out at 65W; the 87W figure is a shared total.
- The built-in cable means checking its reach and connector fit before travel.

What the features mean for you
The built-in cable is the buying reason
A1383 is designed around carrying fewer loose charging leads. Anker identifies one built-in USB-C cable, one USB-C port, and one USB-A port. The attached lead is useful when a phone or laptop cable is easy to forget, while the separate port remains available for a cable you choose. It is still worth checking the built-in cable’s length and connector direction in the product photos and listing. A permanently attached lead is convenient when it fits your devices; it is less flexible than packing a cable chosen for a particular desk or device.
Separate single-device output from the total
Anker specifies up to 65W for a single USB-C connection and up to 87W across the bank’s outputs. Those are maximum claims under compatible charging conditions, not a promise that every laptop will draw the same level. The power budget is shared when several devices are connected. Check your laptop’s required USB-C input, use an appropriately rated cable for the separate port, and expect charging behavior to change when a phone and computer share the bank.
Capacity helps on longer days, while weight changes the routine
The stated 20,000mAh capacity makes sense for travel days, conferences, or a bag that carries a computer and phone. Anker’s product information lists a weight of 430.91g and dimensions around 157.5 by 73.5 by 26mm. That is a meaningful object in a small sling or light daypack. Our recommendation is to weigh the complete carry, including the built-in lead and your charger, before treating the capacity as a benefit. A smaller bank may be easier to keep with you every day.
Check the exact connection plan before leaving
The A1383 solves one common travel problem, but it does not remove compatibility checks. Confirm whether your device accepts the advertised USB-C power mode and whether the built-in cable reaches where you intend to use it. The Amazon US listing identifies the model as A1383; still compare the model number when offers use similar Anker names. We have not measured capacity, heat, recharge time, or real-world endurance. Treat Anker’s figures as documented specifications and keep a suitable wall charger for replenishing the bank.
What else to compare
The Anker Prime A1335 is smaller in stated capacity and weight but offers two USB-C ports and a 130W total rating. Anker’s 737 power bank offers a higher single-port maximum with a larger, heavier body. Choose by the device’s actual input requirement and the carry weight you will accept.
Before you buy
How many USB-C connections does the A1383 provide?
Anker lists one USB-C port plus one built-in USB-C cable. The bank also has one USB-A port; the finder counts one physical USB-C port, while the attached cable remains a separate convenience.
Can one USB-C device receive 87W?
Anker lists up to 65W for a single USB-C output and 87W total across outputs. The 87W figure should not be read as a single-device USB-C maximum.
Is this a light power bank?
No. Anker lists roughly 430.91g, so it exceeds the finder’s 250g lighter-carry threshold. Check the complete bag before choosing it for daily pocket travel.

The decision
Choose A1383 when an attached USB-C cable, 20,000mAh class capacity, and mixed ports justify roughly 431g. Choose a smaller bank for light carry or a higher-rated model when one device needs more than 65W.
