Anker Portable Charger, PowerCore III Elite 19200 cables, charger, and AC power adapter.

Amazon Prime Day 2022 was in July, but Amazon sprung a second mega sales event this year. Welcome to the first Prime Early Access Sale, less formally known as Prime Day October 2022 or Prime Day 2. The two-day sale started yesterday and ends at midnight tonight PT, so take advantage of the many excellent Prime Day deals while they’re still available. The Prime Day deal for the Anker Portable Charger PowerCore III Elite is especially appealing for people who run one or more devices with USB-C charging connectors. With the Anker PowerCore III Elite you can at the same time. During today’s Prime Day sale, you don’t have to pay the full $110 price for this Anker portable USB charger. Act fast and you can buy it for $88, a $22 savings for a 20% discount.

Why you should buy the Anker PowerCore III Elite portable charger

As USB-C port-connected laptops, smartphones, tablets, and other devices become the norm, the advantages of easy-to-plug-in cables don’t overcome the basic need for a power source to plug into. Whether you want to power up your MacBook Air, make a presentation with your Dell XPS, check in with your iPad Pro, or recharge your iPhone, you still have to find an available electrical outlet or another power source to connect to your device. If you travel or even move around the office frequently the best answer may be to take your power with you. Portable USB-C-connected chargers such as Anker’s PowerCore III Elite Series are an extremely convenient solution for a backup power source if your laptop, tablet, or smartphone runs low during a meeting or remote working session away from a power plug. Anker portable chargers feature in Digital Trends’ best power banks for small business roundups for their compact design, energy storage capacity, and available ports.

The Prime Day deal for the Anker PowerCore III Elite 19200 mAh capacity charger provides up to 60 watts of charging power. You can plug in and charge three devices simultaneously, although the total output is limited to 60 watts. According to Anker, the PowerCore III Elite 19200 model can charge an iPhone 11 Pro four times, a 2020 iPad Pro 11-inch tablet 1.5 times, and a 2020 MacBook Air once. If you have access to a conventional power outlet you can also charge the Anker Power Bank at the same time one or more devices recharge via USB-C connections to the Anker.

If you frequently search airports, hotels, or coffee shops for outlets to charge your USB-C-connected devices, take advantage of this Prime Day 2 deal and pick up the Anker PowerCore Elite III 19200 portable charger for $88, a $22 discount from the typical $110 price. But don’t tarry, because this sale ends at midnight Pacific Time tonight!

This second major event, aka Prime Day October or Prime Day 2, is packed with Prime Day deals. The Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station sale can help you restore your Chi by simplifying Apple device charging. You can save 16% or $19 with this sale when you buy the Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station for $101 instead of the regular $120.

Why you should buy a Belkin 3-in-1 wireless charger
Belkin's 3-in-1 Wireless Charging station can simultaneously charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. The Qi-compatible charging stand has an ample 7.5 watts of charging power for your iPhone. According to Belkin, it's OK if the iPhone has a non-metal case, as long as it's not more than 3mm thick -- just put your iPhone on the stand in the case. The charging stand has a magnetic mount that protects and holds your Apple Watch upright and in place while charging. A second charging pad located just behind the Apple Watch mount supplies 5 watts of Qi-compatible power to charge AirPods. So if you're fully outfitted with iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch, this charger provides a safe location to store all three while they power up. It's also OK to leave fully charged Apple devices on the charger while charging one or more depleted devices.

The Samsung T7 Portable SSD connected to a tablet.

The highly rated Samsung T7 portable SSD is 21% off from Amazon in the ongoing October Prime Day, or what's officially known as the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale. Accessories like portable drives are often overlooked whenever there are Prime Day deals, but their importance in this digital age can't be overstated. If you don't have one yet, or you want to upgrade from a low-capacity drive, you should take advantage of Amazon's $20 discount for the 500GB version of the Samsung T7 portable SSD, which makes it more affordable at $75 compared to its original price of $95.

Why you should buy the Samsung T7 Portable SSD
The Samsung T7 portable SSD is rated 4.8 out of 5 stars on Amazon, with 87% of customers who purchased the product giving it a 5-star rating. That's fairly hard to accomplish, but not surprising as Samsung is one of the premiere brands in the electronics and computing industries. This portable SSD is another home run, as it's capable of transferring files nearly 9.5 times faster than external HDDs. It can read at a speed of up to 1,050 Mbps and write up to 1,000 Mbps, so the days of having to wait for a long time when accessing or transferring files will be over.
