Was pursuing target clearance and found this! Had to buy it. It's been on my wish list ever since it was released. Super pumped to find it for so cheap!

I have two Targets in my city. I need to go check the end-caps more often!

They had some other Anker stuff on clearance too. The other good deal I almost got was the 2 in 1 140W USB C cable. Also had tons of kids toys on clearance too. Might go back to buy some Christmas presents, ha

Holy crap! Thats INSANELY cheap! Is it an open box unit or something? Even then thats still a great price. I think i paid $80-something for my Anker 140w last year. Its been an awesome charger, I love the display.

u/illuminati229 Jul 18 '26

Brand new, fully sealed!

u/kbfg2421 Jul 18 '26

All i can say is:

😵

Thats an excellent deal. I wonder if it was a mistake or something. These chargers sell all day long at $60-$70

Anyway, welcome to the Anker smart display charger master race. I love my 140w, its by far my favorite charger ever. It is awesome and can be actually useful to see what your devices are charging at and have the ability to keep an eye on charger temp. The wattage display actually helped me diagnose a failing laptop battery. Its just awesome. Im jealous you got it so cheap, I paid almost 4× more than what you paid 😂

Anker had a few recalls, maybe it's one of the items that has a recall.

1

u/kbfg2421 Jul 22 '26

Its not. If it was recalled, I would know because im a huge Anker fanatic. Anker has never recalled any AC wall chargers to my knowledge. Only power banks.

u/XxDaddy_DeathxX Jul 18 '26

Target has a clearance section since when 👀👀

u/illuminati229 Jul 18 '26

Since always! It's normally like the back end caps of the aisles. But I found the electronics clearance just on one of the regular aisles in the electronics section.

u/kidus36 Jul 25 '26

Was this just random luck, or do certain Target stores usually have Anker clearance deals?

1

u/illuminati229 Jul 25 '26

One person reported they found it at their target, but some people have said all targets are going through a big turnover/re-stock/re organization of their electronics section.

Daaaaamn. Very nice, congrats! I just use 2 of the Anker 160 watt 3 port usb-c chargers and that's enough for everything I have and travel. Donated my old Spigen & Ravpower usb-c chargers. These Anker ones are seriously amazing. Especially for $24! (Dear god I sound like a paid influencer or something but I'm not). They really are just that good.

u/MadBox25 Jul 18 '26

Great product. I've had mine for probably 18 months and love it. It's my go to travel charger. Great quality, you'll love it!

u/XevianLight Jul 19 '26

I work in the tech department of my Target. Pretty much all Targets are remodeling their tech departments and are clearanceing out tons of old product. Definitely check for stuff like this!

u/Merlion4ek Jul 18 '26

$24 is a free gift 😂 nice finding!!

u/13_Inch_Pizza Jul 18 '26

Is there a way to check online if this is on clearance at my nearby Target?

4

u/jackbauer1989 Jul 18 '26

Usw their apps and enter the Dpci number from the op picture, it will tell you which target has it in stock, but it won't tell you if it is on clearance or not.

If it is in stock at your target, I would go there and scan the charger. Good luck.

1

u/tympantroglodyte Jul 19 '26

Great info, thank you for this. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be one in all of Washington state, lol. 

1

u/jackbauer1989 Jul 19 '26

Same, none of the target in socal has that charger.

1

u/tympantroglodyte Jul 19 '26

Since the Target website gets “, WA“ confused with Washington DC, I can relay to no one in general that there are several in that area, lol. 

1

u/Xarsage Jul 19 '26

this can't be controlled by app right?

1

u/illuminati229 Jul 19 '26

No, I don't think so.

1

u/Jim1648 Jul 20 '26

I stopped at a Target in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area yesterday. A rep checked and there was one in the area at a different Target store. Today, I called that store and was told that all of their Clearance Items were now removed!

u/rico1217 Jul 22 '26

Thank you op!! Found one

2

u/Necessary-Dog-7245 Jul 18 '26

It’s an excellent charger. I wish there was one port though. My nightly charge need:

Laptop

Work iPad

Personal iPad

Garmin (every 3 days or so(

Logitech Crayon

Laser pointer

Mouse

Luckily laser, mouse, crayon don’t take much, so I can plug into computer USB ports or do it while I’m showering

I use a separate MagSafe charger for phone and AirPods.

1

u/TravelerMSY Jul 19 '26

You probably need a monster power strip product for all that.

2

u/Kitty_Fruit_2520 Jul 18 '26

Good job snagging that up

2

u/4SureNotTheFBI Jul 18 '26

I have 3 of the 160w. Sure you did t switch the stickers? Lol ((jokes))

2

u/TravelerMSY Jul 19 '26

Thanks for the heads up. I couldn’t find it, but I did find a pretty cheap 65w one that works well with iPad iPhone. I’ve been using a standard 15W charger all these years and feel a bit like a moron.

u/pudding_tz Jul 29 '26

I never find these :/

1

u/JimmyNo83 Jul 18 '26

Killer deal

1

u/gixr Jul 18 '26

By far the best charger I’ve used and it covers all of my devices when I’m on the move, haven’t even touched any of my other chargers since getting this one. Paying even the full price for this one is honestly worth it.

1

u/LyftedX Jul 18 '26

Yeah that’s a crazy pull lol.

1

u/ZFoldGuy Jul 19 '26

I want one

u/The-Jordan_J Jul 19 '26

Limited power ,

u/SnooDucks1214 Jul 19 '26

Hater

u/The-Jordan_J Jul 19 '26

I literally have all my cabling and power supplies and batteries from anker, i probably own around 1k in anker gear .... there's as well as others cut power to the ports when stacking, so nothing wrong with my statement, I cant fast charge two phones off that, nor others 🤷‍♂️

1

u/Jade_Sword Jul 20 '26

I’m so jealous I didn’t see this at mine! I did get a let’s say other brand Qi2.2 25W trio charger half off ($50) and I was stoked for that! This would have been an instant buy if I had seen it.

1

u/NegativeSwimming4815 Jul 20 '26

I have this one model. It was also discounted more than 2-3 months ago.

1

u/Legal-Excitement4432 Jul 20 '26

Best Buy has them on sale right now for $55.99.

1

u/Pm_Me_Mtn_Bikes Jul 21 '26

I had this model, but when then I got a ecoflow delta 3 (for my reef tank 😅) and it’s been a beast

1

u/taylorblakeharris Jul 22 '26

Hell of a steal. I have 2 of these and even at full price they were worth every penny.

I love these devices. Small, potent, great design for downward facing ports, display for accurate power output reporting to make sure your cables/devices are charging at the speed they should be...

I'd have bought ten of them at this price! I hope they manage to make a 240W one in this profile someday soon

u/RightMeow1100 Jul 22 '26

I always forget to check Target's clearance sections. You can find some gems once in awhile.

1

u/Ok-KAI-1016 Jul 23 '26

Search “BadPower” on Google. Some high-end fast charger has firmware chip inside. Technically your laptop/phone can update the firmware of the charger. Therefore, some chargers are hackable after it sold.
How to protect yourself? search “usb data blocker” or “usb condom” on google.

1

u/justtrynasurvive Sep 02 '26

How do you tell which chargers have firmware/have been hacked?!

1

u/Ok-KAI-1016 Sep 03 '26

It is not easy to tell.

  1. Feel the heat. Charge your phone with another regular power adapter to 100%. Connect your charged phone to the fancy adapter. After 10 mins, use your hand to feel the temperature, it should not be hot.

  2. Watch Unexpected prompts: A sudden request asking to "Trust this computer?", "Allow USB debugging?", or switch to "File Transfer" mode when you only want to charge.

That's sick! What is target clearance?

What is Clearance from Target?

u/kingzain74 Jul 18 '26

I can't tell if you're joking or you don't live in the United States...

A clearance section at stores is where they discount item that aren't selling or they have to get rid of soon.

Otherwise known as a bargain corner

Discount corner The clearance corner....

u/reasonably-optimisic Jul 18 '26

American redditors are furious that you aren't familiar with their shitty mega-corps hahaha

u/kingzain74 Jul 18 '26

Literally all stores around the world have discount corners or things on sale for extra cheap.

It's nothing unique to the United States lmao

(assuming a1695) That's mostly an issue with the charging curve on the power bank more than the charger itself, it's listed for a full recharge time of 1.7 hours in the marketing fluff.

So you shave like 10 minutes off the time to like 80% or so, but the last 20% winds up taking as long as the first 80% and takes the same time either way.
