Anker is bringing three unusually smart charging accessories to IFA 2026. Its new lineup combines active cooling, displays and device-specific charging profiles designed to protect battery health. The products cover everything from powering an iPhone on the move to charging a MacBook at home.

Anker wants to take the guesswork out of charging

Charging accessories typically compete on speed, size and port count. Anker’s latest products take things a step further by monitoring temperature and adjusting the charging curve accordingly.

The most interesting addition is the Anker MagGo Power Bank Pro 2. It pairs a 10,000mAh battery with 25W magnetic wireless charging and an active cooling fan. Anker claims this is the fastest and coolest wireless power bank available.

According to Anker, the fan keeps the back of the power bank below 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit (36 degrees Celsius) when charging wirelessly. This is unlike other power banks with wireless charging, which heat up, leading to the phone to reduce its charging speed.

Anker says the MagGo Power Bank Pro 2 can charge an iPhone 17 Pro to 25% in 10 minutes and 50% in 25 minutes. The power bank itself can go from 0 to 80% in 52 minutes.

A built-in display shows charging power, temperature, remaining battery capacity and the estimated charging time. Over USB-C, the power bank delivers up to 45W of power.

The Anker MagGo Power Bank Pro 2 will cost $109.99 and go on sale in the United States on September 17. It will launch in Phantom Gray, Starlight Silver and Polar Night Blue colors.

At IFA 2026, Anker also consolidated its several sub-brands under the Anker umbrella brand.

Anker Laptop Charger Pro recognizes your Mac

The $59.99 Anker Laptop Charger Pro is the company’s smarter take on a wall charger. Anker says its desktop app can identify the exact Mac model connected to the charger, allowing it to use a charging profile created for that computer.

The company claims 100% model recognition for Macs and more than 90% recognition for Windows laptops. A built-in Care Mode adjusts the charging curve for the connected device, which Anker says can extend the battery’s lifespan by more than 40%

The front display also shows the current power output, temperature and charging mode.

There’s even a companion desktop app that provides over-the-air firmware updates, monthly battery-health reports and customizable charge limits ranging from 80% to 100%. 

Anker says the charger is 38% smaller than Apple’s 96W power adapter and includes foldable prongs. It will go on sale in the United States sometime in September.

MagStand charges everything on your nightstand

Anker’s MagStand Charging Station combines three charging options in one bedside accessory: a 25W magnetic wireless pad, a built-in retractable USB-C cable capable of delivering up to 60W and a separate 30W USB-C port.

The station uses active cooling to keep your phone cool while wirelessly topping up its battery.

The Overnight Care Mode tweaks the charging curve so the connected phone reaches a full charge shortly before the user’s alarm.

The tiny LCD on the front shows the time, weather and charging status, while the station can identify the phone model and select a matching charging curve.

Anker says the magnetic pad can take an iPhone 17 Pro to 50% in 27 minutes. The retractable cable will come in handy when you need fast wired charging.
