Thanks. I had purchased two of these chargers that are Anker look-alikes and paid the same for two as this one Anker costs:https://mokinglobal.com/products/...9243545904It works great and puts out 140W on one port as advertised, except the display turns off quickly and have to keep babysitting it if you are trying to monitor the display. Oddly, even the packaging resembles Anker's design artwork on the box! They do ship from Amazon even though I bought direct so didn't have to wait forever.
The most I ever got out of this Anker was 99 watts out of 1 port, and I tried with several devices.
I would not have bought it without the advertised 140 watt single charge capability, especially at double the price of the Mokin chargers.
Here's the deal -- to get 140W out, your device (assume a laptop) must support certain PD 3.1 input power combinations to work. For example, my Asus Zenbook A16 comes with a 130W charger and hooked to anything BUT the Asus charger, I get only 100W charging and that is because the Asus 130W is not a standard PD power output. They use some proprietary charger with an odd volts and amps combination that most standard chargers won't do. Now, a MacBook Pro 16 using their Magsafe/USB-C cable does do 140W and that's what I got using the Mokin charger.
I think, over time, more high-powered laptops might start working with standard PD3.1 outputs to attain 140W but for now, over USB-C, you're likely to only get 100W (which is a standard max power over USB-C before the newer standards).
Fortunately, on my A16, I can charge at 100W and not get a message that the charger is underrated and the laptop runs at full performance so that's a plus! I wish that Asus would have just elected to support the PD 3.1 140W standard and not screw around with a proprietary 130W one.
Hope that's not too confusing.
EDIT: If you decide you want 2 Mokin chargers for the price of this one Anker, just select qty 2 and the price changes to $56 total and better yet, no sales tax (at least for me).

Thanks for the info.
Yeah, even with the MacBook Pro I'm only getting 99 watts from the Anker.

You're using the Magsafe connector on the side of the MBP? Also, make sure the battery is below 50% to be sure the Mac is asking for the most juice to charge. Which MBP do you have?
