Product details
The Anker PowerDrive 2 Alloy is a compact car charger with two USB-A ports and an aluminium alloy exterior. It gives a driver and passenger a convenient way to connect two compatible devices from a vehicle power socket. The black finish and small body suit a neat dashboard setup, while the ridged end provides a useful grip when inserting or removing the charger.
Anker specifies a combined charging output of 24W. Both ports can be used at the same time, making the charger useful for keeping two phones connected during a journey. Actual charging speed depends on each device and the cable used. This model is not compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge, so it should not be chosen on the expectation of that charging protocol or treated as a USB-C Power Delivery charger.
The USB-A connections work with appropriate cables for supported phones, tablets and other USB-powered devices. Choose a cable with a USB-A plug at the charger end and the correct connector for the device. A charging cable is separate from the charger package. Check the device requirements before using it for equipment with higher power demands; the overall output remains limited to the stated 24W.
The compact body is intended to take up little dashboard space and sit close to the socket. Anker lists dimensions of approximately 25 × 25 × 44mm and a weight of 18g. Check the space around your vehicle’s socket, especially if it has a cover or is beside other controls. The alloy exterior distinguishes this model from other products that share the PowerDrive name.
Anker’s MultiProtect system combines protective charging features, and the official product description highlights premium circuitry intended to reduce heat during charging. Those features support normal operation but do not replace using a sound vehicle socket and suitable cables. The package contains the PowerDrive 2 Alloy car charger and a user guide. Read the guide and check the charger rating against the vehicle supply before use. Connect and arrange cables while parked, keeping them clear of controls and moving parts.
