Anker Prime Power Bank (27,650mAh, 250W)
Anker Prime stands out as the on-trail powerhouse for campers who need AC-capable output in a compact pack — its 27,650mAh battery paired with a 250W inverter lets you run small appliances and fast-charge multiple devices at a campsite. Compared with the high-capacity PowerCore 40K and the laptop-focused Baseus and UGREEN units, Prime trades raw mAh for very high AC wattage and multi-port convenience, making it the premium choice when you need generator-like output without the weight of full solar setups.

Anker 347 Power Bank (PowerCore 40K)
The Anker 347 (PowerCore 40K) is the market leader for raw runtime in this camping lineup, offering massive 40,000mAh capacity that keeps phones, lights and cameras charged across multi-day trips. Versus the high-wattage Anker Prime or the compact Baseus Blade, the 40K prioritizes capacity per dollar and long-term uptime rather than peak AC output, making it the best value for campers who want long runtimes and multiple USB ports rather than powering laptops or appliances.
