Anker calls this charger the Nano Charger (30W) in the US and the Anker 511 Charger (Nano 3, 30W) here; both carry model number A2147. The version to buy in Australia is the one with the flat, angled Australian pins, which Anker Australia lists at A$39.95 on its own store. The cable is sold separately.
The listing that turns up on Amazon Australia under the same model is not that version. It is an Amazon Global Store import from Germany at A$47.93, and Amazon's own notice on the page says imports can differ in plugs and may not carry the manufacturer warranty. It costs more and solves nothing the local store does not.
Our verdict
Worth A$39.95 as a second charging point for a phone or earbuds; too limited to be the only charger for a trip with a laptop, a watch and a phone.
- A good fit for
- Someone who wants a small extra USB-C charger by the bed or in a day bag and already owns a suitable USB-C cable.
- We would skip it if
- Several devices need charging on the same night, or your laptop's own adapter is rated well above 30 W.
Reasons to consider it
- Sold by Anker's Australian store with the Australian plug
- Fixed USB-C profiles from 5 V to 20 V plus PPS
- A 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz input covers Australian mains
The compromises
- One port, so devices queue
- No USB-C cable included
- The 30 W ceiling does not predict how fast a particular phone charges
What we have not verified: Charge times on specific phones, surface temperature after an hour at 30 W and efficiency at 230 V were not measured; the 82.24% average efficiency and 0.06 W no-load figures are Anker's own manual values.
The things in this guide
A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.
Nano Charger 30W · A2147
A$39.95 from Anker Australia buys one 30 W USB-C port, a 100–240 V input and Anker's 24-month warranty in a body about 28 mm thick.
Before you buy: No cable in the box, and with one port a phone and a watch charge one after the other. Skip the German import on Amazon Australia.
Price checked 5 November 2026. Retailer prices can change.The plug decides which listing to buy
Anker's Australian store photographs the A2147 with the angled flat pins of an Australian outlet and sells it for A$39.95. The Amazon Australia listing for the same model number is a German import at A$47.93, and the import notice on that page warns of different plugs, a possible need for an adapter and a manufacturer warranty that may not apply.
A travel adapter on a charger this small undoes the reason to buy it, because the pair then sticks out further from the wall than a larger local charger would. Buy from Anker Australia, or from a seller whose listing pictures the Australian plug and is not marked as an import.
What one 30 W port covers, and what it does not
The manual lists fixed USB-C outputs of 5 V at 3 A, 9 V at 3 A, 15 V at 2 A and 20 V at 1.5 A, plus PPS ranges up to 11 V at 3 A and 16 V at 2 A, all capped at 30 W. Input is 100–240 V at 50–60 Hz, so Australian 230 V mains sits inside the rated range.
Those figures describe what the charger offers; the phone or tablet decides what it draws, and the cable has to carry it. Earbuds never ask for 30 W. A laptop whose own adapter is rated at 65 W will charge slowly here, or barely keep level while it works, so the laptop's own brick stays in the bag.
Count what needs charging on the same night
Picture the end of a long day away: phone low, watch low, earbuds case blinking. With one port, somebody has to choose the order, and one device is still short of full in the morning. On a one-phone work trip that never comes up; on a family weekend it comes up every night.
Before buying, list what goes on charge at the same time and how many outlets the room has. Two devices and one outlet usually point to a multiport charger, which takes less room than two small ones loose in a pouch. One device points here: Anker gives the body as 1.12 inches thick, about 28 mm, so it sits on a crowded power board without blocking much.
Warranty, and where the recommendation stops
Bought from Anker Australia, the charger carries Anker's 24-month warranty, and the manual states that rights under consumer law are unaffected by it, which in Australia means the consumer guarantees still apply alongside. On the German import, Amazon itself says the manufacturer warranty may not apply.
Heat during a long 30 W charge, efficiency at 230 V and real charge times were not checked, and Anker's ActiveShield 2.0 protection is the maker's own description, not an independent safety result. The recommendation covers the A2147 with the Australian plug at about its A$39.95 store price, not every charger Anker sells under the Nano name.
