Would Anker Powerport Speed 5 be able to charge my M1 MacBook?

Charger has outputs like this 3.6-6.5V=3A, 6.5-9V=2A, 9-12V=1.5A and 5V=4.8A (2.4A Max Per Port) normal apple brick has output of 30W so for what it seems it would work well enough but im not that clever.

USB-A & USB-C are USB port types. They are physically different. You just need to use the correct adapter in order to connect the power adapter to your MacBook in order to charge it.


... so, you basically have, at least, two choices:

  1. Use a charging cable that has a USB-C type connector, or
  2. Use a charging cable that has a USB-A type connector, along with a USB-A to USB-C adapter.

The M1 MacBook Air has a USB-C port that supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) technology for charging. The power requirements for charging the M1 MacBook Air are as follows:


  • Voltage: 20V (maximum)
  • Amperage: 3A (maximum)
  • Wattage: 60W (maximum)


However, it's important to note that the actual power requirements may vary depending on the charger you are using. Apple recommends using a 30W or higher USB-C power adapter that supports USB-PD for optimal charging performance.
