Need a power bank? Here are two awesome Anker deals for different types of users
Finding the right power bank can be challenging, with so many options in the current market. Anker is among the most recognized battery pack brands, and today we found a couple of deals on some of its hottest options. They are made with different users in mind, though. Keep reading to find out which is best for your needs.
Buy the Anker Laptop Power Bank for $94.49 ($40.50 off)
Buy the Anker 548 Power Bank for $87.99 ($62 off)
These offers are available from Amazon. The deals apply to all color versions available.
Anker Laptop Power Bank
Honestly, this is the better option for most people. The Anker Laptop Power Bank is much more portable, measuring 6.18 × 2.12 × 1.93 in and weighing in at 21 oz. And while it's not at its record-low price of $87.99, it's pretty close to it right now. This is still a great deal, and lower prices are still very rare.
Despite its size, it is a very capable power bank. The 25,000mAh battery is enough to charge a smartphone about 4-5 times. It is also very fast, featuring a maximum output of 165W. It has three USB-C ports that can each reach a maximum of 100W, and the single USB-A connection is still pretty fast at 33W. Of course, these are maximum outputs that can only be achieved if charging a single device. Wattage will be shared across ports as you plug in more devices simultaneously.

By the way, two of these USB-C ports come with an integrated cable. One is retractable, and the other doubles as a lanyard for carrying the battery pack around. This is super convenient, and means you might not need to carry around cables to charge your devices. Or at least, not as many.
There is one concern these built-in cables bring to the table, though. Well, at least I worry about durability. When regular cables rip or get damaged, it is simple to replace them. These are built right into the battery pack, so replacing them isn't really an option if they malfunction. That said, Anker mentions these are rated for 20,000 bends. Additionally, our co-worker Dave Carr has been testing it for some weeks and mentions that it feels very solidly built. If you need more peace of mind, the Anker Laptop Power Bank comes with an 18-month warranty.
Anker 548 Power Bank
The Anker Laptop Power Bank is great if you prioritize portability and fast charging speeds, but if you need a bigger battery and more functionality, the Anker 548 Power Bank might be more up your alley. It is actually cheaper at $87.99.
This one comes with a massive 60,000mAh battery capacity. That's enough to charge an average smartphone about 10-12 times! That said, it is bigger at 4.59 x 4.59 x 8.17 in and weighs 5.1 lbs. It's definitely bigger, but it's still relatively easy to carry around. It's a nice addition to your camping trips, picnics, or other outdoor adventures.
That said, this battery isn't quite as fast when charging devices. There are two USB-C ports; one can reach 60W, while the other is limited to about 27W. You can also use a couple of USB-A ports, which can reach 18W each.
Aside from charging devices, this power bank has some extra functionality that many of you will love. It has a 3W built-in light. It's on the top side of the unit, and it's retractable, so you can hide it away when not in use. This means you can use it as a lantern!
This is also getting close to power station territory. As such, it has a DC port for charging the battery using a solar panel, making it a great off-grid accessory. You'll also get an integrated screen that will give you the live status of your battery and all ports.
The Anker Laptop Power Bank is great for daily usage. It will be a nice accessory for your daily commutes, long drives, or short adventures, mainly because it is fast and very portable. You might be better off getting the Anker 548 Power Bank if you need multiple days of power. The ports aren't as fast and it isn't quite as portable, but you get a much larger battery and an integrated light.
Regardless of which you prefer, you might want to act quickly. These deals are really nice, and they might be gone pretty soon.

LKQ Shares Crash To 52-Week Low On Slashed Outlook
LKQ Corporation (NASDAQ:LKQ) shares plummeted over 21% on Thursday after the automotive parts distributor reported second-quarter adjusted earnings that missed analyst expectations and significantly cut its full-year guidance, citing ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and a lack of recovery in North American repairable claims. The company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 87 cents, missing the analyst consensus estimate of 92 cents. Quarterly sales of $3.64 billion (down 1.9% year over year) was in line with the Street view. North American organic revenue outperformed the market even as repairable claims across the entire industry declined 9%. In Europe, LKQ Corporation has replaced more than 25% of the leadership team and continues to focus on reducing costs, rationalizing SKU's and enhancing revenue opportunities, including entering into a strategic partnership to expand our salvage business. Also Read: TransUnion's Upbeat Outlook Shines Through Market Uncertainty Organic parts & services revenue declined 3.4% year‑over‑year (2.7% on a per‑day basis). Acquisitions and divestitures trimmed revenue by 1.0% while foreign exchange rates added 2.3%, resulting in a net 2.1% decrease. The company said its focus on cost reduction measures has resulted in more than $125 million in costs taken out over the past 12 months with an additional $75 million targeted for 2025. Gross profit in the quarter under review remained relatively flat on a year-over-year basis to $1.412 billion, with gross margin flat at 38.8%. View more earnings on LKQ Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter under review decreased to $423 million from $429 million a year ago. The company exited the quarter with cash and equivalents at $289 million, and inventories worth $3.394 billion. As of June 30, 2025, the balance sheet reflected total debt of $4.5 billion, and total leverage, as defined in credit facility, was 2.6x EBITDA. On July 22, the company declared a quarterly cash dividend of 30 cents per share of common stock, payable on August 28. Outlook In North America, the company is not seeing a recovery in the repairable claims and tariff uncertainty continues. In Europe, general economic softness and geopolitical unrest are drivers of an uncertain environment. LKQ cut its fiscal year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $3.00-$3.30 from $3.40-$3.70, falling short of the $3.52 consensus estimate. Organic revenue for parts and services is expected to decline in the range of 3.5% to 1.5% (prior view: growth of upto 2%). The company's stock has hit a 52-week low of $32.78 following its earnings report. The key factors behind the decline were a miss on adjusted earnings per share and a revised, lower outlook for the full year, both of which have unsettled investors.

Chipotle reports lower profit in Q2 2025
Chipotle Mexican Grill has reported a net income of $436.1m, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, ended 30 June - a slight decrease from $455.7m, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the previous year. The Q2 results revealed a mixed performance with increased total revenue but decreased comparable restaurant sales and operating margins. The company's total revenue saw a 3% rise to $3.1bn, driven by new restaurant openings, yet comparable restaurant sales fell 4%. Operating margin decreased to 18.2% from 19.7% and restaurant-level operating margin declined to 27.4% from 28.9%. Despite the downturn in some areas, Chipotle continued its expansion by opening 61 new company-owned restaurants, with 47 featuring the Chipotlane drive-through facility. Digital sales accounted for 35.5% of total food and beverage revenue. Adjusted net income also saw a marginal decline to $450.4m, or $0.33 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $463.0m, or $0.34 per adjusted diluted share, in Q2 2024. The brand's stock repurchase programme remained active, with $435.9m worth of stock bought back at an average price of $50.16 per share. As of the end of the quarter, Chipotle had $838.8m available for further repurchases, bolstered by an additional $400m authorised by the board on 10 June 2025. Cost efficiencies in food, beverage and packaging, which fell to 28.9% of total revenue, were offset by inflation in ingredient costs, particularly for steak and chicken. Labour expenses rose to 24.7% of total revenue, attributed to lower sales volumes despite the benefits of previous menu price increases and efficient labour management. General and administrative expenses decreased to $172.2m, largely due to reduced performance bonuses and stock-based compensation. On a non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis, general and administrative expenses for Q2 2025 were $159.9m, against $171.3m in the previous quarter. The effective income tax rate also saw a slight reduction to 24.5%, driven by lower non-deductible expenses. Looking ahead to the full year 2025, management expects comparable restaurant sales to remain flat and plans to open between 315 and 345 new company-owned restaurants, with more than 80% featuring a Chipotlane. The anticipated underlying effective full-year tax rate is estimated to be between 25% and 27% before discrete items. For Q1 (ended 31 March 2025), Chipotle reported a 6.4% increase in revenue to $2.9bn, compared with $2.7bn posted in the same period of the previous year. "Chipotle reports lower profit in Q2 2025" was originally created and published by Verdict Food Service, a GlobalData owned brand.
