Spec comparison
Each cell is a figure from the maker page linked below. If that page does not print the figure, the cell says “Not listed.” Nothing here is estimated.

How to read the table
- Watts are the output the maker prints, not a larger or smaller charger than that line. On the 523 and the 735, the one-port maximum is not the same split as when more than one port is in use. Read those as separate lines.
- Weight and size are copied as printed. The 735 page does not print a weight. The 523 page prints ounces and inches only. This page does not convert a printed unit into one the maker left off.
- Input, where the page prints it: Nano 20W, 100-240V~0.6A 50-60Hz; 735, 100-240V~ 1.8A 50-60Hz; Nano 100W, 100-240V~, 1.3A, 50-60Hz. The 523 page does not print input.
- Plug shape is not printed on any of these four pages. The 20W page says the charger is not foldable. The 100W page says it has a foldable plug. The 523 and 735 pages do not say.
The 20W page title is Anker Nano Charger (20W). The FAQ on that same page calls it Anker 511 Charger (Nano Pro). The table uses the title. The product SKU on the page is A2637117.
The 100W page prints model number A2679 in the text and on the quick-start file name. The product SKU on that page is B2679111, and the page address uses b2679. The table follows the printed model number, A2679. That page is for the charger sold with a 6 ft USB-C cable. It does not say whether 4.23 oz / 142 g includes the cable.
