With CES around the corner, the big tech brands will soon announce and showcase new products for 2024 and beyond. Anker is one of the many brands we’re closely watching. Anker specializes in technologies to charge smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Their product line includes wireless, car, portable, and wall charges.
This year, Anker is a CES 2024 Innovation Award Honoree for four products. The CES Innovation Awards is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering. Getting included on the Honoree list is a big deal for consumer technology companies. Those products tend to get the most coverage by tech writers like myself who attend the show every year. Here are the four Anker products that made the coveted CES 2024 Innovation Award Honoree list.
Anker SOLIX Solarbank E1600
As the name suggests, the Anker SOLIX Solarbank E1600 allows consumers to store electricity generated from solar panels. It’s an Honoree in the Sustainability, Eco-Design & Smart Energy category. It provides a 90% consumption rate from the solar panel system. This is double the industry average. The battery cells inside the SOLIX provide power for 15 years.
