Common questions
Does the Anker 555 support two monitors?
No. It has a single HDMI 2.0 port supporting 4K at 60Hz, and Anker says its USB-C data port does not carry video.
How much power does it pass to a laptop?
Anker lists up to 100 W input and 85 W delivered to the laptop, so a 100 W USB-C PD charger is needed to reach that figure.
